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?
