"At the time, the medical examiner and the police all told me she had been suffering from severe depression, even bipolar disorder, and could have an episode at any time. Everyone told me they had ruled out foul play..."
"I was left holding Sunny with nowhere to turn. I tried multiple times to reopen the investigation, but the conclusion was always the same. It made me think I was just overthinking things, that my suspicions were making me lose my mind..." Rowan didn't care how shocking her words were. "But then, later on, I saw this ungrateful wretch secretly meeting with Blanche. They were talking about the incident. Both of them were involved in murdering Lydia! And I still have the recording to prove it!"
It had taken a massive amount of effort for Rowan to recall these intricate details.
If she hadn't run into Sylvia at the Yves Garden Estate.
If she hadn't seen this face—the face she hated so deeply it haunted her nightmares—and if her nerves hadn't been so violently triggered, her subconscious instinct to avoid the pain would have caused her to forget those details forever!
"No! Rowan is slandering me!"
Sylvia's shrill scream snapped everyone out of their shock.
"What did you do to my mother?!" Julian's eyes turned red. He lunged forward, seized by a violent urge to strangle Sylvia to death.
At that moment, Quentin looked as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.
He completely forgot how to react.
He was so stunned that his gaze lost all focus.
Dr. Evelyn Hayes's voice trembled. "The recording... do you have it now?"
Rowan pulled a phone from her pocket.
It was a new device, but the contents had been copied over from an encrypted email she had saved before her accident.
Yet it plunged the hospital room into a terrifying, dead silence.
"You'd better take this to your grave. Otherwise, with a charge of premeditated murder, you won't survive either. Instead of trying to figure out how to expose me, we should just come to an understanding. Let's pretend this never happened and forget it completely. After all, Lydia is already dead, and it's been ruled a suicide. Isn't it best for both of us to just move on?"
It was still Sylvia's voice.
Still so incredibly gentle.
Yet in this moment, it sounded twisted and vicious, every single word acting like a poisoned blade.
Slicing through Quentin's chest, leaving him utterly gutted.

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!...
