Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 705

Seraphina couldn't believe how smoothly everything was going.

Even at the height of her glory, when she had tried to visit Sebastian, she had never been able to bypass the heavy security of the Croix estate.

Today, it seemed the universe had decided it wasn't her time to die.

She was completely out of options. Every bridge was burned, every exit blocked. Her only chance at survival was throwing herself at the mercy of her unborn child's father.

She refused to rot in a prison cell.

When she reached Cameron's private wing, the staff had already clocked out for the evening.

Seraphina slipped inside without encountering a single soul.

At that exact moment.

Cameron had just finished a phone call in his bedroom upstairs.

He was in a phenomenal mood.

Ever since chaos erupted at Croix Holdings headquarters, the board had been holding emergency meetings day and night to handle the fallout from Sebastian's leaked strategic deployment plan.

They were scrambling to do damage control—and debating how severely to punish Sebastian internally.

This was a historic moment, and Cameron was savoring every second of it.

If everything went according to plan, Sebastian was about to lose his majority support. The new energy strategy involved massive restructuring that threatened the bottom line of many influential board members. Leaking it had caused absolute outrage.

Even though their grandfather had strong-armed the board into appointing Sebastian as the heir years ago...

This scandal was going to drag him down.

His untouchable throne was finally cracking.

And Cameron was perfectly positioned to swoop in and reap the rewards. That original strategy had been the company's highest-level commercial secret, accessible only to Sebastian's inner circle. Seraphina had stolen it, handed it to Cameron, and he had spent weeks carefully restructuring the data to his advantage.

The moment Sebastian was ousted...

Cameron would waltz into headquarters with his 'improved' version of the strategy.

He would seize absolute control.

Cameron scoffed, though he didn't shove her away immediately. "Oh? Explain what? How you cheated on me so publicly that the entire city knew about it? And now that my brother kicked you to the curb, you think you can just come crawling back? Do you think I'm running a charity for his leftovers?"

Seraphina shook her head desperately. "Nothing ever happened between me and your brother!"

That made Cameron pause.

"What kind of garbage are you spouting now?"

"It's the truth." Seraphina looked up, tears streaming down her face. "Aside from playing the part at social events, we never touched. There was absolutely zero intimacy. You know what he's like. He's cold, calculated, and his self-control is terrifying. He never once showed an ounce of desire for me. And I have too much pride to just throw myself into a man's bed uninvited."

She wasn't lying.

Back then, she had been arrogant and overly confident. She had tried dropping subtle hints, practically inviting Sebastian to make a move, but he had always expertly dodged her advances, pretending not to understand.

She used to think he was just being a gentleman. A man of high principles who wasn't driven by base desires.

Even when she was burning with longing for him, she had refused to drop her elegant facade and beg for his attention.

But looking back on it now...
