Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 676

She didn't care for beating around the bush. The truth was often ugly.

She simply had absolutely no desire to play the dutiful granddaughter to the Croix elders.

"Right. If you still wanted to play the dutiful wife to them, you'd have to be a masochist," he replied dryly.

Raelynn couldn't comprehend him.

Those were his actual grandparents, yet this was his attitude?

She wondered if Chairman Croix Sr. had internally penalized him or demoted him.

She didn't ask.

Instead, she said, "My grandfather is doing fine. Don't trouble yourself."

It was a clear dismissal.

Sebastian neither agreed nor disagreed.

Without waiting for his confirmation, Raelynn turned and walked away.

He didn't stop her.

He simply sat down in the exact spot she had just vacated, watching her silhouette disappear at the end of the hallway.

It wasn't until his phone rang that he pulled his gaze away.

He pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen.

It was Julian.

"You won't believe this," Julian's voice came through. "My grandmother said she went to the Winslow Antique Shop and not only found my grandfather's calligraphy, but she also saw the real Imperial Green Peace Amulet. My sister's pendant."

Julian's voice was buzzing with excitement.

Sebastian could easily picture the wild thrill on his face.

Sebastian leaned his head back. "Is that so."

"How could it be such a coincidence? Do you think Blanche and Seraphina saw the real one at the Winslow shop and had a replica made? But that doesn't make sense. If the real one was sitting right there, why didn't they just steal it? Why go through the trouble of making a fake?"

The fake Seraphina had presented was made of high-quality jade. It wasn't the Yves family heirloom, but it was still an expensive piece of jewelry.

Julian's mind was racing.

"What?"

"The pendant is at the Winslow shop. Why is it there? Why is it listed as not for sale? Have you actually looked into the Winslow family's background?"

Sebastian's words hit Julian like a physical blow.

The line went dead silent for a long time as if Julian's vocal cords had been severed.

Finally, he found his voice. "Are you saying..."

Sebastian interrupted, "This is something you need to verify. Until you have concrete proof, especially after the circus with Seraphina, I suggest you keep a low profile and avoid causing unnecessary complications."

He left it at that.

Sebastian ended the call.

He stood up and headed straight for the wing where Arthur was staying.

Raelynn had told him not to visit.

He hadn't listened to a single word.
