Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 782

"Here you go..."

As she spoke, her heel caught the hem of her gown. The delicate, gossamer fabric snagged, and as she stumbled, the zipper at her back snapped violently. Her off-the-shoulder dress instantly slid down her chest.

Exposing a startling amount of skin.

Her face flushed a deep crimson.

Desperately clutching the bodice to cover herself, she lost her footing.

She pitched forward, falling directly toward Sebastian.

His expression didn't change a fraction. In the exact moment she lunged at him, his long legs took a swift step back. Missing his embrace completely, Sierra brushed past him and crashed onto the sofa.

But the position she landed in was incredibly compromising.

Her silk gown was a tangled mess. With only one hand keeping the fragile bodice up, her torso and waist were completely exposed to the air.

Anyone walking in would assume they had just engaged in something intensely physical.

Sebastian made no gentlemanly move to offer his jacket to cover her.

"I-I'm sorry," Sierra stammered, blushing furiously and shooting him a reproachful look. "You didn't see anything, did you?"

Sebastian's gaze remained utterly detached.

But before he could react.

Not that he intended to give her any response at all.

The partially open door was pushed wide.

Zella Davenport stood in the doorway, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. "What the hell are you doing?!"

Triggered by Zella's furious shout.

The rest of the group crowded into the entrance.

First came the Davenports, then the Croix family, and finally, Julian Yves, who arrived a beat later.

None of the regular party guests had wandered over.

But this precise, sordid scene was witnessed by the key members of every influential family involved.

Furious, Marcus turned directly to Forrest. "Chairman Croix, so this is the surprise your family prepared for us! My daughter does not deserve this kind of disrespect. As far as I'm concerned, the engagement announcement is officially on hold!"

Forrest's expression was grim.

He hadn't expected Sierra to ruin everything.

At this critical juncture, she had effectively destroyed a perfectly good alliance. The Davenports were now offended, harboring deep resentment and suspicion. Getting them back to the negotiating table would be nearly impossible.

After all, the Davenports weren't desperate enough to sacrifice their daughter's happiness and dignity just for business interests.

If word of this got out, they would be a laughingstock, accused of desperately throwing themselves at the Croix family!

There was no way they would just let this slide today.

He shot a freezing glare at Sierra.

As if finally coming to her senses, Sierra scrambled to snatch Sebastian's jacket to wrap tightly around herself. She bit her lip and took a shaky breath. "I'm sorry! Mr. Croix and I didn't do anything, I swear!"

But right now.

Her desperate denial only threw fuel on the fire.
