Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 756
Raelynn had changed her number and lost her old contacts, so she answered the unknown call without a second thought.
The moment she heard Matilda's voice, her whole body tensed up.
"How are things at Kingsford University?" the older woman asked, her tone as warm and caring as if there had never been any bad blood between them.
It was completely unnatural.
Raelynn knew better than to think Matilda actually cared. "Fine, thank you."
"Raelynn, dear, I'm just calling because I heard a rumor that Mr. Hudson actually withdrew his bid at the auction?" The news had rippled through the entire Croix family. Even Forrest had heard.
They had been genuinely shocked.
When Sebastian first proposed using Raelynn as leverage against Ian, the Croix family hadn't expected much.
In their eyes, the heir to a century-old dynasty wouldn't be swayed by something as trivial as romance. No one believed she was that important to him.
But Ian's actions...
...forced Forrest and the rest of the family to view Raelynn in a whole new light.
She actually had some value.
Even though...
...the Hudson family ended up submitting another bid anyway, it still proved she wasn't entirely insignificant.
"Did you call just to satisfy your curiosity about this?" Raelynn deflected.
Matilda chuckled, unfazed by her coldness. "Are you free this weekend? Come to the estate. I have a favor to ask."
Raelynn almost laughed out loud.
She had completely severed ties with the Croix family. What could they possibly need her for?
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I..."
"I'm sure you wouldn't want your daughter to find out she's an illegitimate child born from her mother's affair. That kind of thing can really shatter a child's worldview."
The amusement vanished from Matilda's voice, revealing the venom underneath.
Raelynn's face instantly drained of color.
She had spent her life protecting Lily's innocence.
The weekend arrived.
Raelynn took a cab to the estate.
Every time she came here, she felt physically nauseous, but this was a critical moment. She had to endure it.
The doorman waved her car through.
Stepping out, she noticed the estate staff were unusually busy today.
People were rushing in and out.
Normally, the staff's routines were designed to stay out of the family's way.
But today...
Suspicious, she made her way into the main parlor.
From behind the ornate folding screen, she heard the sound of cheerful conversation.
As she approached, Matilda spotted her immediately. She waved her over with a warm, welcoming smile. "Raelynn! Come here, let me introduce you to someone."

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!...
