But Rowan wasn't finished.
"Guess what else happened? Back then, on Lydia's birthday, this animal Sylvia purposely got you drunk. She drugged herself to crawl into your bed, then played the victim, claiming Lydia spiked her drink to let some random men ruin her. She said she accidentally stumbled into your room and that's how you two spent the night together. And you believed her."
"You thought Lydia was ruthless, that she wanted to destroy Sylvia. You self-righteously protected Sylvia under the guise of 'making amends' for Lydia. You played the hypocrite, never coming clean to Lydia, while secretly compensating Sylvia behind her back. You knew Sylvia was pregnant, and you hid it from Lydia until..."
"Until this bitch, six or seven months pregnant, waddled right up to Lydia to demand a title. She provoked her, told her the truth, and intentionally threw herself down the stairs to frame her. You became the executioner, driving the final wedge between you and Lydia."
"Quentin, you're a bigger monster than Sylvia ever was!"
Rowan's agonizing screams echoed through the room. They completely overturned the lies that had been accepted as truth for years.
Quentin's tall frame swayed as if he had been physically gutted.
He involuntarily released Sylvia and slumped into a chair.
He thought Sylvia murdering Lydia was the worst of it. He never imagined that even the very beginning of it all was a fabricated lie...
Lydia had never done anything wrong.
She never drugged Sylvia, never tried to ruin her, and certainly never wanted her dead. Instead, he had taken the vile culprit as the victim. In all the years since Lydia's death, he had given Sylvia a life of luxury and taken care of her...
Sylvia was twisted and malicious to a sickening degree.
Getting it all out seemed to unravel the knot Rowan had carried in her chest for years.
But it only made her heart ache more.
For Lydia.
For that betrayed, innocent love.
"Monsters!" Chloe felt a chill run down her spine. No wonder Lydia had spiraled into depression, surrounded by such dark, vicious manipulation.
She glared at Quentin, gritting her teeth. "By the end, she didn't even care if you believed her or not. She didn't want to waste a single breath explaining herself to you. And clearly, you weren't worth it!"
Sylvia forgot to react.
She knew it was entirely over for her.
But...
"Do you really think this is enough to wash your hands of her?"
Sebastian kept his arm around Raelynn, shooting Sierra a sidelong glance.
Sierra paled, her heart hammering against her ribs.
"Mr. Croix, I have a heart too. Why would you say that?"
Sebastian's lips twitched, his gaze predatory. "You claim you didn't know your true identity, that you're innocent and oblivious. Did you forget sneaking around the Yves family's back to get a DNA test in high school?"

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!...
