Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 70

Alistair's stance was absolute, leaving zero room for negotiation.

Raelynn felt awful about the whole situation.

She knew Alistair was only getting this fired up because he was fiercely protective of her.

At his age, he shouldn't have to stress and fight her battles for her.

And to actually demand they give her the respect she deserved.

Seraphina felt like she was being stabbed with needles.

She was convinced Raelynn was driving a wedge between them, and right now, she was being publicly roasted on an open fire.

Admit to destroying Raelynn's marriage?

That was essentially him saying he would never take her!

"Professor Finch, I sincerely hope you'll reconsider. If you have any reasonable demands, I will do my best to meet them," Sebastian said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he slowly stood up. His posture was perfectly respectful, neither subservient nor arrogant.

At the same time...

He wasn't backing down an inch.

He was absolutely refusing to let Seraphina suffer that kind of humiliation or take the fall publicly.

Raelynn saw it all with agonizing clarity.

A quiet, mocking laugh slipped past her lips.

Love really was a beautiful thing, wasn't it?

A proud, untouchable man like Sebastian Croix was willing to bow his own head just to protect Seraphina.

Meanwhile, Raelynn was the actual victim of the vicious rumors, and he hadn't lifted a finger to defend her...

Raelynn took a deep, heavy breath.

She slowly relaxed her tightly clenched fists.

Her palms were already marked with deep, angry red half-moons from her nails.

Alistair stared at the elegant, composed man standing in front of him, looking profoundly disappointed.

Now he was absolutely certain.

Sebastian Croix was completely unfit to be Lily's father!

"Then we have nothing to discuss."

Alistair didn't waste another breath on them.

He turned with a cold face, pushed the door open, and left.

Seraphina's face was pale and tight.

She had never been so thoroughly humiliated in public.

And the person responsible for all of this was Raelynn, who had clearly gone out of her way to drag her name through the mud.

If Raelynn hadn't spun a web of lies about her, there was no way Professor Finch would have rejected her.

Raelynn didn't care at all how Sebastian felt about being shut down.

She gave Preston a quick nod and hurried out after Alistair.

The old man was furious.

She had to go smooth things over.

As soon as Raelynn left.

Sebastian turned his attention to Preston. His tone was perfectly polite but distinctly distant. "Sorry for intruding today. We'll catch up another time, Mr. Moreno."

He didn't try to pressure Preston into putting in a good word for them.

He just calmly moved past it.
