Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 635

Aunt Brenda was the first to spot her.

She immediately called out in a mocking tone, "Well, look who it is! It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Beside her, Jeanette turned around, casting a lukewarm, calculating gaze over Raelynn. She hadn't expected Raelynn to rise to such prominence, now Kingsford University's most sought-after Associate Professor. The news had sent shockwaves through their social circles for weeks.

Everyone had been asking about her.

And by extension, the Croix family was back in the spotlight.

People even praised Jeanette for being so lucky to have such an accomplished daughter-in-law.

Raelynn wasn't exactly surprised to see the two of them.

Elaine's tea party was designed for the wives of elite families, so it made perfect sense for Jeanette and Brenda to be on the guest list.

Firing off a quick text to Elaine to let her know she was walking in.

Raelynn breezed right past them without a backward glance.

She had absolutely no intention of engaging with either woman.

However.

Her blatant, disrespectful disregard caused Jeanette to scowl.

Brenda was equally furious, stepping directly into Raelynn's path to block her. "Well, aren't you something special now, Raelynn? You run into your mother-in-law and your aunt, and you don't even have the decency to say hello? Does Kingsford University know how you treat your elders?"

Raelynn met her gaze dead-on. "You couldn't even keep your own son out of prison, yet you have the nerve to lecture me?"

Brenda gasped, her finger trembling as she pointed at Raelynn. "You..."

"Raelynn, is that any way to speak to your family?" Jeanette marched over, her voice dripping with disapproval. "Do you even know the meaning of the word respect?"

Raelynn pocketed her phone, offering a faint, mocking smile. "If you're so desperate for respect, go find your future nephew's wife. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to wait on you hand and foot. After all, considering you're actually Sebastian's dear aunt, you've certainly worked hard to earn that kind of treatment."

She kept her tone light and pleasant.

But every word felt like a poisoned dart that made Jeanette's face twist in fury.

Nephew's wife and Sebastian's dear aunt were thinly veiled reminders of her scandalous past, sleeping with her brother-in-law and becoming a stepmother to her own nephew.

Raelynn was publicly humiliating her.

She led Raelynn to her seat.

The venue was packed with guests.

Every woman in attendance dripped with wealth and elegance, chatting and laughing in a display of practiced affability.

Raelynn found a random table and sat down.

Before she could even take a sip of her tea.

A few others joined her table.

Turning her head, she realized Jeanette and Brenda had intentionally chosen to sit right beside her. Raelynn stared at them in silence, feeling a pang of regret.

She should have been far more vicious at the door.

Did these two women have absolutely no shame?

Still, given their status in the Croix family, several guests immediately rushed over to offer sycophantic greetings.
