Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 676

She didn't care for beating around the bush. The truth was often ugly.

She simply had absolutely no desire to play the dutiful granddaughter to the Croix elders.

"Right. If you still wanted to play the dutiful wife to them, you'd have to be a masochist," he replied dryly.

Raelynn couldn't comprehend him.

Those were his actual grandparents, yet this was his attitude?

She wondered if Chairman Croix Sr. had internally penalized him or demoted him.

She didn't ask.

Instead, she said, "My grandfather is doing fine. Don't trouble yourself."

It was a clear dismissal.

Sebastian neither agreed nor disagreed.

Without waiting for his confirmation, Raelynn turned and walked away.

He didn't stop her.

He simply sat down in the exact spot she had just vacated, watching her silhouette disappear at the end of the hallway.

It wasn't until his phone rang that he pulled his gaze away.

He pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen.

It was Julian.

"You won't believe this," Julian's voice came through. "My grandmother said she went to the Winslow Antique Shop and not only found my grandfather's calligraphy, but she also saw the real Imperial Green Peace Amulet. My sister's pendant."

Julian's voice was buzzing with excitement.

Sebastian could easily picture the wild thrill on his face.

Sebastian leaned his head back. "Is that so."

"How could it be such a coincidence? Do you think Blanche and Seraphina saw the real one at the Winslow shop and had a replica made? But that doesn't make sense. If the real one was sitting right there, why didn't they just steal it? Why go through the trouble of making a fake?"

The fake Seraphina had presented was made of high-quality jade. It wasn't the Yves family heirloom, but it was still an expensive piece of jewelry.

Julian's mind was racing.
