Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 803
Raelynn met his calm gaze. Her cheeks warmed uncomfortably; Sebastian had predicted her predicament perfectly.
Cordelia continued on the phone, "I know this is hard to hear. It's the fault of those malicious rumormongers, and I know you've done nothing wrong. But with a family and enterprise this size, we can't act on emotion. We have to look at the big picture. Ian refuses to budge, so I have no choice but to come to you. Could you be the one to suggest postponing the wedding?"
"If you're willing, I'll compensate you with whatever you want. After all, the Hudsons are forcing your hand and causing you real pain. I won't deny that."
Raelynn knew that Cordelia, as the matriarch running the Hudson family's affairs, understood the business impact. The stock market, brand image, and public perception were taking real hits. She couldn't blame the older woman for strictly talking business.
Yet, the truth remained: the Hudson family had weighed the pros and cons... and they were dropping her. Even if it was only temporary.
"Alright," Raelynn agreed. Her tone was flat, completely drained of emotion.
Cordelia hesitated. "Raelynn, if you're upset, blame me. Ian truly cares for you."
"I understand. After all, we aren't family yet. Naturally, I'm not as important as your bottom line."
"Raelynn..."
"Mrs. Hudson, I have work to do. We'll talk another time."
Raelynn ended the call. Her emotions churned. Human connections were so fragile. Cordelia had always been kind, decisive, and had even stood up for her in the past. But that wasn't enough to define a person.
"Never expect anything from anyone." Sebastian remained in his original position, turning his head to look at her. "Sunny, you have to hold the power in your own hands."
He had guessed right. The Hudson family was deeply divided. Ian couldn't fight them all alone. In a massive conglomerate where power was decentralized, Raelynn being sidelined was the inevitable outcome. Even if Ian disagreed, the rest of the Hudsons wouldn't just sit idly by. If they couldn't handle Ian, they went straight to Raelynn.
He lowered his gaze, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes. In that instant, a certain decision was finalized.
"Are you happy now that you've watched me make a fool of myself?" Raelynn's voice was flat; she didn't even have the energy to be angry.
"Did I laugh?" he countered, glancing at her.
Raelynn let out a long breath. Under the current circumstances, she couldn't even think about using the marriage to transfer Lily's registration. Lily was being branded an illegitimate child, making everything infinitely worse.
Ian replied quickly.
[Ian]: Where are you?
[Raelynn]: Kingsford University.
[Ian]: I'm coming to see you. Wait there.
Raelynn's instinct was to refuse, but he didn't send another message. He was already on his way. She knew she couldn't avoid this; they had to talk it out.
But regarding Sebastian... Raelynn genuinely had no idea what he wanted to discuss with the university board.

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!...
