Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 786

She played the part perfectly—the brave girl, refusing to be a burden.

Even if her own reputation was ruined, misunderstood, and dragged through the mud.

She supposedly wouldn't let him suffer for it.

Sebastian let out a low chuckle, a dark, dangerous edge twisting his handsome features. "Are you really naive enough to think the Davenports want to hear your explanations?"

Sierra's eyes flickered, tears welling up again. "I'm sorry..."

"You're right, they won't believe me now. They'll just assume you told me to apologize. Zella doesn't tolerate an ounce of disrespect."

A look of profound sorrow washed over her face as she took a step closer. "Mr. Croix, can you help me? You know I'm adopted. After tonight, my family will think I'm nothing but trouble. I'm terrified my grandmother will misunderstand. I'm an Yves, and a scandal like this taints their name. Mr. Croix, could you..."

"Propose to the Yves family?"

She pleaded, seemingly terrified of her family's wrath.

The young girl was trembling with genuine fear of the consequences.

"Neither of us wanted this to happen. It was an accident. But since it did, the Yves family isn't any less prestigious than the Davenports, right?"

Half the city had just seen her practically naked in his room. The rumors were already cementing. Between two major dynasties, this wasn't a game.

Especially since the Davenports were the VIP witnesses.

He had already made an enemy of them.

A new alliance between their families wouldn't be the worst backup plan.

In fact, it was the perfect solution.

Sebastian stared at her through a veil of smoke. This poor girl, so afraid for her honor, backed into a corner and forced to make such a bold request.

He flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Propose."

Sierra's breath caught. She wiped her tears, her sweet, youthful face radiating gratitude. "If you don't actually want to, you can back out later. Just... just help me survive the fallout with my family..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

"You think you're worthy?"

The icy contempt in his voice cut her off like a blade. Sierra froze, the tears stalling on her lashes.
