Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 888
A faint smirk touched his lips. "Weren't you wildly ambitious? Now that I'm handing the Croix family over to you, are you afraid it's going to burn your hands?"
Tristan was seething with rage. He knew exactly what kind of hellstorm the company was about to face and just how nightmarish the cleanup would be. Sebastian was purposely driving a knife into him.
He knew exactly how long Tristan had fought for this, knew exactly what he wanted. Yet Sebastian had deliberately thrown the Croix Holdings into absolute chaos before tossing this catastrophic mess at him like charity. It was utter humiliation and disdain.
He clenched his fists. "You're a member of this family too! What do you get out of dragging us through the mud like this? If the Hudsons and all our other rivals take this chance to swarm us, what do you gain? Are you just going to destroy everything out of spite?"
He thought it was utterly laughable!
Everything in this world could be fake.
Only power was real.
What was wrong with scheming for his own future? Meanwhile, Sebastian, the golden boy raised on a pedestal, never appreciated it. He dismissed it all as garbage. It made Tristan, who had to bleed just for a chance to compete, feel both ridiculous and fiercely resentful.
"Your bitterness and failures weren't caused by Raelynn, and she certainly doesn't owe you anything." Sebastian didn't answer the question, offering that statement instead.
It made Tristan freeze instantly.
Sebastian's eyes were utterly devoid of light. Fireworks exploded in the sky above them, yet his face remained impassive. "There's no need to disguise your cowardice as rationality. You were the one with impure motives from the start. Your calculated, cost-benefit love for her is exactly like you—cheap and pathetic."
Dropping those words, Sebastian turned to walk away.
Leaving Tristan standing rigidly in place, the freezing winter night chilling his blood.
The bitterness he had buried for years, along with the regret he had never wanted to admit, flooded his chest all at once.
Given the choice between Raelynn and power, he had chosen power.
And now, Sebastian had personally ripped that power to shreds and tossed it at his feet like loose change.
Relentless explosions that made the ears ring and the chest ache.
The night sky was brilliant, illuminated like broad daylight.
It reflected in their eyes, so dazzling it practically blinded them.
Sebastian didn't look back.
But Tristan continued laughing wildly. "At the time, I actually resented her for it. Why did she like you? Since she didn't want me, I certainly wasn't going to give up my ambitions for her. But I never imagined that someone as prideful as you would ever fall for a girl from that kind of background. You two were forced together, and you, the family, everyone assumed she jumped in for me, ready to die for my love. In a way, didn't I beat you?"
"Sebastian."
"You don't get to mock me for giving her up. After all, things between you and her are completely over now. Whether you're backing off because you finally realized she jumped into the lake and nearly died for you, or for some other reason entirely, your marriage is dead. So what if I tell you the truth now? You didn't end up much better than me."

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!...
