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."

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!...
