Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 800

She coldly issued her order. "Let's wait and see. We won't say it's canceled, just postponed. Tell Raelynn to delay it. She'll understand."

If the situation couldn't be salvaged.

They could cancel it later.

Ian's expression turned absolutely glacial. He didn't care that he was opposing his mother. "Mom, I said I'm marrying Raelynn, no matter what."

"Are you out of your mind?" Cordelia demanded, incredulous. "The public is even speculating that Lily is Raelynn's illegitimate child, born to you while she was still married to Sebastian. Are you not afraid of wearing that shameful label for the rest of your life?"

Although she hadn't met Lily's biological mother.

Ian had kept her identity hidden. But even if they found her now to clear things up, it would be useless. Besides, they couldn't find her anyway.

"It doesn't matter," Ian stated.

The warmth vanished entirely from Cordelia's imposing face. "Ian Hudson! I will absolutely not allow you to ruin everything. You'd better calm down and think this through. If you refuse, I will go talk to Raelynn myself."

Ian's expression shifted slightly as he suppressed his fury.

"I said, this can be resolved. Raelynn hasn't done anything wrong! If you weigh the pros and cons and postpone the wedding now, she will never give you a second chance."

"Since when did you fall so madly in love with her?!"

Cordelia didn't believe Ian loved Raelynn to the point of throwing everything away.

She knew her son.

Ian let out a slow breath, looking deeply at his mother. Then, he said softly, "You owe her. And I owe her, too."

-

The situation was far worse than Raelynn had anticipated.

Her promotion was canceled, the school had launched an official investigation, and her application to join the National Academy of Traditional Medicine was frozen. Everything had ground to a halt.

She could handle all of that.

Except for one thing.

There was a persistent faction of voices online obsessing over the 'illegitimate daughter' angle.
