Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 805
Sebastian's magnetic voice reverberated through the microphone, washing over the entire auditorium. It was a guarantee that every single person heard him loud and clear.
In that moment, the name of a little girl—Lily—became the savior of countless struggling students. It also acted as a nuclear bomb dropped into a placid lake.
Inside the massive hall holding nearly a thousand people, faces contorted in absolute shock.
"Mr. Croix has a child? A daughter?"
"Since when? Weren't there rumors that his marriage to Professor Ortiz was a total disaster?"
A tidal wave of frantic whispers swept through the room.
Standing in the corner, Raelynn felt as though lightning had struck her very core. The fountain pen slipped from her numb fingers, hitting the floor so hard it snapped in two. The color drained completely from her face as she stared up at the man on the stage in sheer disbelief.
She completely forgot to breathe.
White noise rushed through her ears, shattering any coherent thought.
Even Sierra beside her lost her composure, her face twisting dramatically. She snapped her head toward Raelynn. "What does that mean? Why is he claiming she's his daughter? Did you beg Mr. Croix to use this as a cover story for you?"
She was so rattled by the revelation that her usual sickly-sweet tone vanished, replaced by a sharp, demanding edge.
Raelynn didn't spare her a single word.
Her chest heaved, her spine turning to ice as she remained locked onto Sebastian.
On stage, Sebastian looked utterly unfazed. However, his dark eyes glinted with a glacial chill that lacked any warmth. "This educational foundation is a joint donation from Raelynn and me, for our daughter."
That sentence detonated the room all over again.
A joint donation with Raelynn... for their daughter.
What the hell was going through his mind?
Raelynn didn't dare dive into it, but the worst-case scenarios flooded her brain.
Sebastian's gaze swept over the sea of faces, his tone unwavering. "As for this educational foundation, fifty million dollars will be allocated directly to the personal accounts of select students. But there is one strict requirement. I am well aware of the malicious rumors circulating on campus recently, and the sheep who blindly echoed them. Therefore, the university and I have established a strict vetting process. These funds will solely be awarded to students who did not participate in, comment on, or blindly follow the smear campaign against Raelynn and our daughter. That is the only standard."
He scanned the breathless crowd.
His presence was wholly domineering. His voice was casual, yet every word struck like a hammer against their chests.
Dead silence reigned for several agonizing seconds, followed by a smattering of ecstatic cheers.
While some celebrated, others withered. A large portion of the audience visibly paled.
From the moment she was hired as a young, highly-accomplished associate professor, Raelynn had naturally drawn attention. Human nature had an ugly side. Her success at such a young age, while her peers were still struggling through their doctorates, bred vicious envy.

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!...
