Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 778

Julian immediately locked his screen and muttered, "Sly bastard."

Sebastian was a fortress. It was near impossible to guess what he was thinking, let alone what his master plan was. He operated with such calculated randomness that digging for intel was a waste of time.

But this banquet...

It was highly likely the two families were making their move.

As for Raelynn...

Julian looked up toward the kitchen.

Regardless of what was truly in Raelynn's heart, or whether she had completely moved on from Sebastian, tomorrow night would finally force a definitive end to their chapter.

...

The Davenport family wielded immense influence.

Virtually every prominent figure in Kingsford accepted the invitation.

That included Ian Hudson, who was currently based in the city.

He met Raelynn at the entrance, naturally stepping up to her side and offering his arm. "Ms. Davenport invited you?"

Raelynn glanced at his offered arm.

She slipped her hand through it.

"Yes."

"Are you two that close?"

"Not really. We've only met once." Raelynn remembered that their one meeting was technically his blind date. Zella's audacity never ceased to amaze her.

Befriending her fiancé's ex-wife was a bold move.

"Do you know what tonight is about?" Ian asked, looking down at her, carefully watching her expression as they walked.

Raelynn looked confused. "Is it a special occasion?"

Ian studied her face for a long moment before replying, "Tonight, the Davenports are the primary hosts, but the Croix family is co-hosting. When two families of this magnitude throw a joint banquet, what do you think that means?"

Raelynn paused for a fraction of a second.

She immediately grasped Ian's implication.

"I wasn't sure you'd actually show up," Zella said directly as she approached.

"In our circles, crossing paths at these events is inevitable. Why would I hide from you?" Raelynn countered.

Zella arched an eyebrow.

"Before, I wondered how you could so easily let go of a man like Sebastian. But seeing how you handle yourself... I have to admit, I admire you. You're far more grounded and straightforward than most women I've met."

She meant it.

She had seen far too many manipulative socialites in their world.

Raelynn's ability to put everything out in the open was, in its own way, incredibly refreshing.

Zella lifted her chin, gesturing for Raelynn to look across the room.

Raelynn turned her head.

She saw Sebastian standing tall and aloof, effortlessly standing out from the crowd.

A victorious gleam flashed in Zella's eyes as she gazed at the man, radiating absolute confidence. "Raelynn, I didn't give you the full story. The Davenports are hosting tonight, yes. But the actual purpose is to publicly announce our engagement."
