Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 788
It only created a rival.
The only way to restore the balance of power was if Sebastian died.
This dark secret...
Forrest was the only one in the family who knew the truth.
And now...
"When did you find out?" Forrest asked, his complexion ashen.
Sebastian dropped onto the sofa, his gaze distant. "Probably on the second day of the kidnapping."
He had known from the very beginning. It was no accident.
It was a meticulously planned hit.
His own flesh and blood wanted him dead.
That was why, when he barely escaped with his life and Raelynn found him, he had zero will to live.
The betrayal had shattered him completely.
But Raelynn had been relentless.
He had never met a girl who talked so much.
She would sit by his bed for hours, babbling about the most trivial nonsense. Her joy, her sadness, her frustrations—she treated him like her personal sounding board, pouring every fleeting thought into his ears.
He ignored her.
He turned his back to her.
So she just picked up her little stool and moved to the other side of the bed.
It didn't deter her in the slightest.
She was determined to make him look at her while she talked his ear off.
He got so sick of the noise that he'd finally drag himself up just to drink his medicine and shut her up.
She was incredibly stingy too. When he refused his medicine, she'd count out her precious candy, looking absolutely devastated at the thought of parting with them. She hated giving them up, and watching her agonizing internal battle over a piece of candy was one of the few things that amused him.
He used to purposely drag it out just to extort the sweets from her.
Forrest's heavy sigh.
Dragged Sebastian back from his memories.
Forrest said softly, "So you knew from the very start."
He had buried the truth so deeply that even Cyrus Croix didn't know his father was aware of the assassination attempt.
He thought he had covered it up flawlessly.
But by sweeping it under the rug to protect the family name, he had inflicted an even deeper wound on Sebastian.
"What do you intend to do?" Forrest asked.
She still remembered the vicious slap Zella had given Sierra. Honestly, she admired the woman's style—Zella handled things openly and didn't bother with petty, underhanded tricks.
Friday.
Raelynn arrived at the Kingsford University research lab.
Sierra was already there, printing documents.
She was one of the student interns.
Being part of this research project, even outside the core team, was an incredible boost for a resume.
"Raelynn..." Sierra called out nervously the moment she saw her.
Raelynn's expression didn't waver. She just gave a stiff nod.
But Sierra hurried over, looking like she was desperate to confess. "I'm sorry..."
"For what?" Raelynn turned, her gaze crystal clear and piercing.
Sierra bit her lip, her eyes instantly reddening. "About Mr. Croix and me... do you think I was in the wrong? If you blame me, I completely understand, but please don't shut me out."
Raelynn couldn't help but truly study the girl.
She had to admit, Sierra was talented. Playing the fragile, apologetic victim was a masterclass in emotional manipulation.
Before Raelynn could respond,
an icy voice rang out from the doorway. "You want to play the whore, but you still expect everyone to build you a monument of virtue?"

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!...
