Seraphina's words caused Quentin's expression to change.
He turned his head to look.
Raelynn had opened her eyes at some point.
There was no emotion in them.
No anger, no hurt, no resentment.
Only calmness.
An expected, chilling calmness.
That calmness acted like an invisible blade, making Quentin's face drop instantly. He hadn't meant to abandon Raelynn; it was merely a stalling tactic.
After all, Seraphina and Sylvia had past friction.
Seraphina might actually take revenge on Sylvia, but with so many people here for Raelynn, she wouldn't easily harm her most valuable shield.
"I didn't mean it like that," Quentin felt a painful squeeze in his chest and immediately blurted out an explanation, feeling as if he'd been burned.
Sylvia quickly chimed in, "Quentin cares about his daughter. He only said that in the heat of the moment, he didn't mean it. Ms. Ortiz, please don't misunderstand."
"Shut up!" Julian was burning with rage. He felt devastated for Raelynn. His heart ached for her; who wouldn't feel horrible hearing their own father give them up right to their face?
But Seraphina was beyond satisfied.
Raelynn was finally second best.
As long as someone abandoned Raelynn, she was happy.
She turned to look at Raelynn. "Take my words to heart. Look, even if you really are the Yves family's daughter, no one cares about you. Blood ties mean nothing compared to years of emotional attachment. What do you matter, Raelynn?"
Raelynn had actually been conscious the whole time.
But because the drug hadn't metabolized yet, she couldn't muster any strength.
Until she heard Quentin choose Sylvia.
"I just wanted you to taste how I felt." Seraphina's mood had improved. Naturally, she wouldn't do anything reckless right now.
Until she saw the helicopter, she wasn't going to throw away her chance.
She just wanted to stab Raelynn where it hurt.
"Let Lily go, and you can do whatever you want with me." Raelynn's heart ached, but her tone was cold. "Lily is the Hudson family's child. You're a smart person. You shouldn't want to make an enemy out of someone so powerful."
At her emphasis on "the Hudson family's child," Sebastian glanced at her.
Seraphina obviously understood this.
Children were the roots of a family. She only grabbed Lily to extort money from the Hudsons.
Naturally, she wouldn't burn that bridge completely.
Only Raelynn and Sylvia were her true enemies.
One was the woman who ruined her chances with the Yves family, and the other was the woman who stole everything from her.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
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!...
No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
