Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 656
She wasn't taking the bait.
Forrest gave her a long, appraising look.
Ultimately, he didn't push the matter any further.
A small porcelain plate was slid over to her side of the table.
Raelynn looked down.
Several perfectly peeled pieces of tender langoustine rested there.
Beside her, Sebastian had already discarded his plastic gloves and was casually wiping his hands with a wet wipe.
When Raelynn didn't reach for her fork, he glanced sideways. "I thought this was your favorite."
"Not anymore," she replied evenly.
Sebastian paused. "Since when?"
"Since right now," she answered dismissively.
He didn't say anything to that. He just stared at her in silence for a few heavy seconds.
The rest of the meal was incredibly tense.
Every bite felt loaded with anxiety.
Everyone was lost in their own plotting.
Even the usually boisterous Cameron was completely silent. He was deeply agitated. Seraphina's downfall and her mysterious pregnancy were major problems for him.
Seraphina was officially ruined.
To everyone in the room, she was nothing more than a pariah. He needed to wash his hands of her immediately before the patriarch caught wind of his own messy involvement.
He suddenly looked up.
He cast a sharp glance at Sebastian.
A dark, calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
As the banquet finally drew to a close, guests began to mingle and take their leave.
Suddenly.
A man rushed into the room, his face pale with sheer panic.
He hurried straight to Forrest's side and whispered frantically into his ear. "Chairman, it's a disaster. The top-secret five-year strategic plan for our New Energy AI Initiative... it's been leaked."
The words hit the room like a drop of water in boiling oil.
The entire hall exploded in chaos.
Even a seasoned veteran like Forrest lost his composure, his face twisting in fury. "What the hell do you mean?!"
Upon hearing the news...
She couldn't help but look at him.
Yet, to her shock, he looked completely unfazed. Meeting Forrest's furious, questioning glare, he stated plainly, "I have no explanation."
His blunt response only fueled the patriarch's rage.
"I don't care what it takes, you fix this immediately! Otherwise..." Forrest took a sharp breath, genuinely trembling with anger. This was the master plan for their corporate dominance.
It was a multi-billion dollar project. The consequences of this failure were unimaginable.
Tonight...
The Croix family wasn't going to get a wink of sleep.
And half of them would be staying up just to gloat.
Oddly, Sebastian didn't rush out to handle the crisis.
Instead, he turned to Raelynn. "Did you drive? I'll take you home."
Raelynn stared at him like he was out of his mind. How could he possibly offer her a ride when his entire career was actively burning to the ground?
"No thanks," she said curtly. "Focus on your own mess."
"I'm taking you home."
Ignoring her entirely, he started walking toward the exit.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
