Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 807

It was an absolutely merciless shutdown. His gaze was like a serrated blade, devoid of a single ounce of warmth—only scrutiny, disdain, and cold indifference.

It was as if their brief, ambiguous public encounters meant nothing to him. In Sebastian's eyes, she held zero weight.

The idea that he would lower himself to care for her or take responsibility for her was laughable.

Sebastian disliked her, and he wasn't bothering to hide it.

In that crushing realization, a harsh truth dawned on Sierra. It seemed that no matter how hard she schemed, she could never make Sebastian care for her. Not even a fraction. The realization stung deeply, draining the color from her doll-like face. "No... I just thought it was impossible..."

Lily was obviously Ian's child. Why would Sebastian willingly raise another man's kid? He would never tolerate such a thing. The situation was so convoluted that she genuinely believed Sebastian was simply lying to pull Raelynn out of the scandal.

"If you have questions for me, we'll discuss them privately," Sebastian said, completely dismissing Sierra and speaking solely to Raelynn.

He knew full well the absolute emotional hurricane Raelynn was weathering right now. Some things could only be said behind closed doors.

Raelynn's lips pressed into a bloodless line.

She glanced around the auditorium. Sebastian's massive stunt at Kingsford would inevitably leak to the press. Just the hundred-million-dollar donation alone would make headlines everywhere.

Soon enough, the Croix family would learn about Lily.

She could practically smell the gunpowder; the battlefield was rapidly approaching her doorstep. She had dreaded this day for so long.

Yet now that it was here, a strange sense of relief washed over her. The burden of the secret was gone. Whatever was coming, would come. She was no longer afraid of an all-out war with the Croix family.

"Raelynn's problems have nothing to do with her ex-husband, do they?"

"If you were capable of handling this properly and shielding her and the child from public attacks, would I have needed to step in?" Sebastian countered calmly.

Ian's face grew even colder. "There are a hundred ways to fix this. What exactly is your endgame here? Do I need to remind you that Lily's last name is Hudson?"

From the second he heard Sebastian claim Lily on that stage, Ian, as a man, knew exactly how far ahead his rival was planning. Sebastian was striking first, inextricably tying Lily to himself and Raelynn, systematically severing the Hudson family from the public narrative.

Whether Sebastian was intentionally sabotaging Ian's relationship with Raelynn, or if he already knew the truth about Lily's parentage and was deploying countermeasures to stop the Hudsons from hoarding the child—it was a disaster for Ian.

In response to the name-drop, Sebastian slowly met his eyes, his pupils glacial. "Mr. Hudson, what belongs to you cannot be taken away. If it isn't yours, why scratch and claw to steal it?"
