Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 636

Jeanette looked at Raelynn, a sudden, malicious smile curving her lips. "I brought a plus-one today. I hope you don't mind."

Raelynn thought the woman was utterly unhinged. "You could bring a stolen corpse for all I care. It has nothing to do with me."

Jeanette choked.

She inhaled sharply to maintain her composure, refusing to lose her temper in public over Raelynn's insolence.

With a dismissive wave, she signaled for her guest to enter.

Raelynn genuinely didn't care who the guest was, but when she caught sight of Seraphina out of the corner of her eye, a frown creased her forehead.

She instantly understood that Jeanette had brought her here solely to humiliate her.

Seraphina approached with a picture-perfect, obedient smile. "Mrs. Croix, thank you so much for agreeing to see me."

Jeanette didn't even bother looking at her, taking a delicate sip of her tea with aristocratic flair. "Have a seat."

Seraphina had reached out to her earlier that day, begging for an audience with the elders. Jeanette had fully intended to ignore her, but after Raelynn's brazen disrespect at the door.

She decided to weaponize Seraphina to make Raelynn suffer.

Seeing Seraphina take a seat, Brenda's face darkened instantly.

However, mindful of the prying eyes around them, she bit her tongue and suppressed her outrage.

She had to choke down her fury.

Seraphina noticed Raelynn as well, a dark, calculating glint flashing in her eyes before she sat down beside Jeanette. She had an agenda for seeking out the Croix family elders today.

The fallout from the Yves family disaster hadn't fully erupted yet.

The Yves were too busy handling their internal affairs to immediately launch a retaliation campaign against her.

She had to use this brief window of opportunity to secure her place in the Croix family.

Before they discovered she had been faking her identity as an Yves heiress.

"What did you want to discuss? Spit it out," Jeanette said, setting down her teacup. Her tone was cold, making it painfully obvious she looked down on Seraphina.

Still, in Jeanette's mind, Sebastian choosing such a pathetic woman wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

If the Patriarch lost faith in Sebastian, then Jeanette's own son would become the primary focus of the family's succession plans.

Raelynn tuned them out.

All eyes zeroed in on the document Seraphina had unfurled, an official ultrasound and bloodwork report.

"You're pregnant?" Jeanette asked, genuinely stunned.

Sitting at the same table.

It was impossible for Raelynn to block out the conversation. She heard every word perfectly.

Her chewing slowed to a halt as her gaze landed on the medical report.

It was stamped by Covenant Medical Center.

It was impossible to forge.

Seraphina's smile widened into a smug smirk. "Sebastian accompanied me to the appointment. We're having a baby. It's such joyous news, I felt the family had a right to know."

As she spoke.

She threw a subtle, mocking glance at the silent Raelynn.

Tilting her head, she added with casual cruelty, "Raelynn, you're practically a master of traditional medicine, aren't you? Why don't you check my pulse to confirm it for yourself? While you're at it, maybe you could prescribe some supplements to keep Sebastian's baby healthy."
