Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 66
She flipped to the buyout amount.
Fifty million dollars.
Wow, how generous.
Raelynn stared at the terms for a long moment before suddenly looking up at Matilda. "If I do this, does it mean the Croix family will never interfere with my life again? You won't acknowledge me, and we draw a permanent line in the sand?"
Matilda looked sympathetic. "This is for your own good. I can guarantee that after the divorce, I have ways to erase any record of your marriage. That way, you can start fresh and find a new husband without any baggage."
Always thinking of her.
Raelynn actually wanted to laugh.
She knew perfectly well that the Croix family was just trying to make sure she didn't cling to them later. At the same time, they were terrified that Sebastian wouldn't budge on Seraphina and would insist on marrying her, so they were proactively wiping away any trace of Raelynn ever being married to him.
Then they would handle Cameron internally once he got out of prison.
It was a neat way to bury a massive scandal.
But...
She pushed down the surge of emotion rising in her chest.
This meant...
When Lily was eventually exposed, the Croix family would have already legally severed all ties with her. Sebastian would have even less of a claim on Lily. Wasn't this just an extra layer of protection to ensure no one could take her daughter away?
Matilda had always wanted her and Sebastian to have a child.
The Croix family was obsessively protective of its legacy.
But they were the ones who wanted a clean break.
Suddenly, Raelynn didn't feel so angry anymore.
She could already picture the priceless looks on the Croix family's faces when they finally found out about Lily.
However, there was a penalty for breaching the contract.
Raelynn flipped to the back. A five-hundred-million-dollar penalty, and they could go after her family for damages.
They had dragged her grandfather into it.
It was an implicit threat.
But she didn't plan on ever setting foot in the Croix family again anyway. Crawling out of this swamp was hard enough.
After weighing her options, Raelynn signed the papers.
There was no reason not to.
Why on earth would she ever return to the Croix family after the divorce? It was completely out of the question.
And by then, Sebastian would be too busy planning his wedding to Seraphina to bother harassing her.
As for keeping her mouth shut about Seraphina's connection to the family, she could do that. They would be total strangers soon enough.
She just hoped the Croix family wouldn't regret this.
Because she knew she absolutely wouldn't.
Matilda looked incredibly pleased, her gaze full of affection. "Lynnie, you've always been such a sensible girl."
Raelynn said nothing.
Faced with a velvet-wrapped dagger like this, she never really had a choice.
From the moment the Croix family caught wind of the online drama, they were never going to let her retaliate.
You couldn't fight the people holding all the cards.
How could Raelynn not understand how the real world worked?
An arm wrapped securely around her waist, pulling her firmly against his side. Caught completely off guard, Raelynn stumbled right into Sebastian's embrace.
The heat from his palm seeped right through her clothes, making her expression shift.
It was the most sensitive spot on her waist.
A single touch made her whole body tingle.
Sebastian knew that better than anyone.
Which was why she practically melted against him.
Looking like the perfect, affectionate wife.
Sebastian looked at Matilda, his eyelashes lifting lazily. "Aren't you going to take the picture?"
Matilda grinned at the sight.
She snapped the photo immediately.
Once Raelynn recovered from the shock, a faint, undeniable sweet scent filled her nose.
It was Seraphina's perfume.
Had he been with Seraphina right before coming here?
The thought that Seraphina had nestled into the exact same spot made Raelynn sick.
Raelynn discreetly frowned.
She had swallowed far too much garbage today.
This unexpected intimacy made her skin crawl.
Operating purely on reflex, Raelynn instinctively swung her hand... and slapped him hard.

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!...
