Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 77

Seraphina clearly knew the most about it.

Everyone looked over at her.

Seraphina snapped out of her thoughts, looking up with a helpless, hesitant expression. "All I know is that she's married... but she's also incredibly close to Mr. Moreno."

The moment she said that.

The room immediately broke out into whispers.

"You really can't tell just by looking at her. Selling her soul and her... just for an author credit she didn't earn." The student stopped talking, realizing the rest of the sentence was too ugly.

But how could anyone miss what was left unsaid?

Seeing the dedicated, hardworking research team getting increasingly furious, Seraphina's lips twitched slightly, and she quietly walked away.

The dispute over swapping team members remained unresolved.

They were at a stalemate.

With the project deadline looming, Raelynn went to coordinate with the university as usual.

This time, Preston went with her. However, when she arrived, she noticed that the Kingsford University team was looking at her differently today.

She couldn't figure out why.

And today, Seraphina was still a no-show.

Maintaining her arrogant "principles."

Preston kept a friendly face, and the meeting proceeded normally.

Right as it wrapped up, Preston casually said, "It seems Kingsford University can't control a VIP like Ms. Vance. Whether this partnership can go smoothly is up in the air now. If this is too difficult for the university, I think this collaboration just isn't meant to be. NexusMind can always find another partner, and we can look for opportunities down the road."

The moment Preston said that.

The university team's faces dropped.

Especially the grad students who had spent the entire meeting glaring and whispering about Raelynn. They instantly panicked. "You can't do that!"

Working with NexusMind would do wonders for their careers.

NexusMind was always at the forefront of the pharmaceutical industry.

Not to mention NexusMind owned Digi-Medica, an application recognized even by top government officials.

If they could get a deep collaboration with the Digi-Medica team on their resumes, they could walk into any major company with their heads held high.

"Mr. Moreno, my apologies. Traffic was bad, so we're a bit late," Sebastian said to Preston, his posture relaxed.

Implying they hadn't skipped the meeting on purpose.

Preston let out a laugh. "Ms. Vance is a lucky woman, getting personally escorted by Mr. Croix just for a meeting."

Raelynn lowered her eyes.

She could see it clear as day.

Sebastian was here to flex his muscle for Seraphina.

Professor Roland and a bunch of the grad students hurried over.

"Mr. Croix, about this..."

Sebastian asked calmly, "What exactly is Mr. Moreno proposing?"

Preston offered a polite smile. "Our NexusMind team cannot function if we're not fully aligned. Ms. Vance questioning us right out of the gate shows a lack of sincerity, which has caused our team to have reservations about her. I'm afraid..."

"Just name your terms, Mr. Moreno." Sebastian was a smart man; he cut right to the chase.

Preston's smile grew even friendlier. "Simple. Ms. Vance apologizes to Raelynn."
