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.
