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.
"What?"
"The pendant is at the Winslow shop. Why is it there? Why is it listed as not for sale? Have you actually looked into the Winslow family's background?"
Sebastian's words hit Julian like a physical blow.
The line went dead silent for a long time as if Julian's vocal cords had been severed.
Finally, he found his voice. "Are you saying..."
Sebastian interrupted, "This is something you need to verify. Until you have concrete proof, especially after the circus with Seraphina, I suggest you keep a low profile and avoid causing unnecessary complications."
He left it at that.
Sebastian ended the call.
He stood up and headed straight for the wing where Arthur was staying.
Raelynn had told him not to visit.
He hadn't listened to a single word.

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!...
