Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 809
The situation was already a raging inferno.
Sebastian had publicly declared Lily was his legitimate daughter, not a child born out of wedlock. Yet Ian and Raelynn's upcoming wedding was an open secret within their elite circles. If the Hudsons wanted to wash their hands of the mess, they had to offer the Croix family an explanation—one that inherently meant de-escalating the conflict.
Swapping the bride would be a win-win for everyone.
Ian's face remained utterly impassive as he looked down at the woman so earnestly plotting to save his family's reputation. After a long moment, he spoke, his voice freezing cold. "So, to you, human emotion is a joke. A cheap commodity to be swapped out the moment the price is right."
Sierra's eyes fluttered. She bit her lip and shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I just think the Hudson family is sitting on a powder keg right now. You're facing pressure from the Croixs on one side and public scrutiny on the other. It has to be hard on you."
Ian's expression was grim. "Who exactly are you?"
Sierra blinked, caught off guard. "What?"
He stared her down. "Haven't you and Raelynn established that you're sisters? Yet here you are, her own sister, helping me strategize how to humiliate her by canceling the wedding. Did you forget you're an Yves? Running over here to form an alliance with me, urging me to abandon her and break my promise... What kind of person does that make you?"
Panic flared in Sierra's eyes. Her doll-like face flushed crimson as she scrambled for a defense, her eyes welling with tears. Her helpless, frantic demeanor was a masterclass in playing the victim, designed to trigger any man's protective instincts.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. The Yves and Hudson families have been close for years, and we've known each other for so long. I just couldn't bear to see you dragged down by the gossip..."
She choked on a sob, acting as though Ian's words had wounded her deeply.
Ian, however, possessed zero desire to play the gallant knight. His only concern was that Raelynn had been taken away by Sebastian.
Whatever Sierra's damage was, it was none of his business.
She had no idea if Ian had actually absorbed any of her advice. But after all this drama, forcing the wedding was a terrible idea. Raelynn joining the Hudson family was guaranteed to end in failure. As for the Croixs, after Raelynn humiliated them like this, they definitely wouldn't tolerate her either.
Sierra lowered her head and smoothed out her dress. It seemed Raelynn had burned her bridges with both families.
In the end, she would be left with absolutely nothing.

Sebastian walked with long, rapid strides. He held her wrist in an iron-clad grip, and Raelynn struggled to keep up behind him. Finally, they reached his car. Sebastian pulled the door open and looked at her. "Get in."
Raelynn's lips were taut. After taking several deep breaths to steady her racing heart, she bent down and climbed inside.

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!...
