Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 718

Matilda's face darkened with fury. "I always thought you were a sensible girl. I never imagined you'd commit such a catastrophic offense behind our backs. How could you betray us like this? I have no face left to protect you!"

She was genuinely outraged. The thought of a Croix wife secretly bearing a child for the Hudson family was a scandal that would make them the laughingstock of their social circle.

Forrest glared at her. "Divorced? Does that erase the fact that you committed adultery while you were married? Are you denying that you betrayed Sebastian?"

Raelynn paled. She couldn't tell them the truth about Lily's parentage. She had to swallow this bitter accusation. Judging by the sheer hostility in the room, they had no intention of letting her walk out unscathed.

A wave of bitter irony washed over her. After surviving everything else today, she was no longer afraid of clashing with Forrest Croix. "Are you all blind? Sebastian betrayed me first! He abandoned me on our wedding day and fled the country. And what about Seraphina Vance? You all turned a blind eye to that! You permitted him to make the 'mistake every man makes' and expected me to just swallow my pride. But now, when the shoe is on the other foot, it's suddenly an unforgivable sin?"

Her words were sharp and merciless. For the first time, she was truly fighting back against the elders, exposing their suffocating hypocrisy.

Raelynn refused to play the victim anymore. Her eyes stung, but her voice was steady. "You enabled the entire fiasco with Seraphina! If we're keeping score, none of you have done right by the Croix family. You're the ones who need a taste of your own discipline!"

She had held her tongue for far too long. Now, she simply didn't care. Sebastian's affair had been public knowledge for years, and not once had the family stepped in to defend her. They had silently agreed she should endure it.

Matilda looked appalled. "Raelynn, are you saying this is my fault?" She felt personally attacked, as if Raelynn was accusing her of letting the scandal fester.

Raelynn kept her chin high. "We all know who's right and who's wrong."
