Julian's tone was ice-cold, the trademark smirk on his handsome face twisting into a mocking sneer.
He positioned himself firmly in front of Raelynn, his gaze sweeping over the three people blocking their path.
Sylvia looked stunned. "Transfer the deed?"
Sierra blinked, the meaning of Julian's words slowly registering. "You're transferring the estate?"
Quentin, however, wasn't surprised. In fact, he thought it was only right. The sprawling garden estate had cost a fortune, purchased by his late father and meticulously maintained ever since. The main house had been designed exclusively for Raelynn. Although the Yves family's main base wasn't in Kingsford, they stayed here whenever they visited. Yet, over the years, they had all been relegated to the guest wings.
The main house had never been opened to anyone.
The younger generation assumed the elders were keeping it for themselves, but in reality, it had always been waiting for Raelynn.
"Is it that shocking?" Julian shot Sierra a sideways glance. "Grandma has already made the decision, and the paperwork is being processed as we speak. This entire estate, including the main house, belongs entirely to Raelynn. Furthermore, why on earth would we need you to dictate the landscaping or pretend you're doing Raelynn a favor by 'yielding' to her?"
Julian didn't pull his punches.
He was practically screaming, 'What right do you have?' right in their faces.
Once the property was under Raelynn's name, no one else would have a say.
"Julian, you misunderstood," Sylvia quickly chimed in, shaking her head with a helpless sigh. "I didn't know about the deed transfer. I just thought since Raelynn was coming home, I should arrange things to make her more comfortable. I swear I wasn't trying to act like the lady of the house."
Sierra was genuinely shell-shocked.
Everyone in the Yves family had had their eye on this estate.
It was worth millions of dollars and sat on prime real estate. By all normal protocols, it should have been divided among the heirs.
But now, it was being handed to Raelynn alone.
Blinking her dry eyes, Sierra scrambled to explain. "Julian, I'm so sorry. The transfer is wonderful news. It's just... Dad and the others wanted to remove the flowers because of my severe allergies, but I can push through it. Raelynn being happy to be home is what matters most."
"You don't have to apologize for a medical condition," Quentin interjected. He believed giving the estate to Raelynn was justified.
"I'm tired of standing. I want to rest."
Raelynn didn't want to engage. She simply murmured the words to Julian.
In an instant.
The aggressive thorns bristling around Julian retracted. He turned to her, his gaze softening with a careful, almost fragile gentleness. "I'll take you inside to rest."
As he spoke.
He threw one last glare at Sylvia and her daughter.
He snapped his fingers at the nearby gardener. "Plant every single one of them back. Take perfect care of them. Not a single blade of grass in this garden is to be altered!"
Looking back, he added, "If your allergies are that unbearable, pack your bags and move out early. This is going to be Raelynn's private residence anyway. Otherwise, keep your distance and drop the delusion that you get to call the shots."

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!...
