Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 827
Cordelia Hudson stared in sheer disbelief.
The audio recording was crystal clear.
It laid the Hudson family's true intentions completely bare.
They were exposed as the absolute villains of the story.
Yet, Chloe's methods and unyielding attitude openly positioned her against her own family, despite being a Hudson herself.
Down in the audience.
The moment Chloe had stepped up, Derek Davenport had leaped to his feet, a deep frown carving his brow.
He hadn't been able to reach her, and now here she was, looking utterly exhausted and disheveled.
Derek stripped off his suit jacket, immediately striding onto the stage to wrap it snugly around Chloe's shoulders. "What happened?"
Howard and Cordelia, furious at their daughter's stunt, sported thunderous expressions. "Have you forgotten who you are? Is this how you humiliate your own flesh and blood?!"
Howard's face was terrifyingly dark.
Chloe had abandoned all hope that her parents would ever do the right thing. They had never really favored her anyway, so she no longer cared about the fallout.
Her jaw set in a rigid line. "The Hudson family was in the wrong from the start. This crusade against Raelynn ends now!"
Things had gone too far.
Taking a deep breath, Cordelia pivoted. "Let's not forget the child's last name is Hudson. How the Hudsons handle their own kin is none of Raelynn's business."
She had a point.
Lily was legally a Hudson.
She had no legal ties to Raelynn.
With the façade entirely shattered, the Hudsons knew that if they didn't seize control of the narrative right now, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Cordelia's cold logic caught everyone off guard.
But Raelynn understood perfectly. The Hudsons were trying to sever her maternal bond with her daughter in front of the world.
Society only recognized what was bound by law.
Pushed past his breaking point, Professor Alistair Finch slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "What a disgraceful display! You preach about the child's surname, but did you ever raise her? Raelynn's daughter has been cared for by my wife and me since day one. How dare you lay claim to her!"
It all made sense now.
Raelynn looked up. His gaze was locked onto her face as he closed the distance. Sebastian stopped in front of her, glancing down at her hands. She had clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles were white, driven by a suffocating wave of despair.
He reached out and gently pressed the familiar, missing-diamond lighter into her palm.
Raelynn's fingers curled instinctively around the cold metal, gripping the embedded stones.
He turned to face the crowd.
His eyes met Cordelia's, before drifting over to Ian, who was standing defensively near his mother.
"Who said my daughter's last name is Hudson?"
Raelynn gasped, her head snapping up.
Ian's predatory gaze darkened.
Cordelia frowned deeply. "Mr. Croix, what is the meaning of this?"
As soon as the words left her mouth.
The heavy venue doors were flung open.
Another icy voice echoed through the hall. "A family as powerful as the Hudsons, stooping to snatch a child? Is our Lily Yves so irresistible that it's driven you all entirely out of your minds?"

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!...
