She had originally convinced herself that Raelynn might not actually be the heiress.
She reasoned that even if Sylvia Dalton hadn't tampered with the samples, the results might have been exactly the same.
But now she was being told that another amulet had surfaced. How was that even possible? How could the exact same priceless artifact appear in the exact same place twice?
And for it to happen right now, when her life was falling apart...
Seraphina didn't know what to think, but she felt her blood run ice-cold.
Blanche looked equally horrified, her face flushed with fury. "Raelynn?! Don't let her play you! How do you even know this new one is real? When I took it, there was only one! I know what I saw!"
She was entirely completely blindsided by this revelation.
If they hadn't bumped into Sierra and baited the information out of her, they would have never known about this absolute nightmare.
Sierra looked at them like they were crazy.
She clutched the jacket tighter to her chest, scowling. "Whatever. Just stop spreading rumors about my family. We finally have real hope again, so back off."
Without another word, she turned and sprinted away.
Blanche stared after her, trembling.
She locked eyes with Seraphina, both of them paralyzed by the sheer impossibility of what they had just heard.
Seraphina's breath shook. It felt like someone had poured acid down her throat; a suffocating wave of jealousy consumed her, making her want to scream like a lunatic.
Why?
Why did it have to be Raelynn?
Why, at the exact moment she had lost everything and her reputation was in shreds, was Raelynn effortlessly claiming the ultimate prize?!
It was a fate worse than death!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the building.
Raelynn finished walking Dr. Hayes around the gallery.
They decided to head straight to the nursing home.
The three of them rode the elevator down together.
Dr. Hayes and Sierra got into their car.
Just as Raelynn pulled out her keys to unlock her own vehicle, the blare of police sirens shattered the silence.
They had erased every piece of evidence!
Raelynn was just as shocked. Murder...?
As the chaotic screaming continued, a man approached her. It was the same officer who had just arrested Blanche. He looked Raelynn up and down. "Are you Raelynn Ortiz?"
As the realization hit her, her lips trembled. "Yes, I am."
Detective Garrett nodded. "You need to come with us too. This is regarding... your mother, Rowan Ortiz."
Raelynn had already guessed it.
But the confirmation still made her head spin.
It was all happening so fast.
She quickly sent an iMessage to Dr. Hayes, explaining there was an emergency and that she would have to meet her grandfather later.
Dr. Hayes, having seen the police cars arrive, was incredibly understanding and told her to handle her business first.
Feeling like she was walking on air, Raelynn climbed into the back of a second police cruiser.

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!...
