"What are you even doing here? Today's business doesn't involve you," Cameron spat, finding Raelynn incredibly obnoxious.
She was sharp-tongued and completely lacked the submissive, gentle demeanor a woman should have.
"I brought her."
Sebastian's dark eyes locked onto him. "Do I need to report to you?"
Cameron's spine tingled with inexplicable dread.
The deep-seated fear he had held for Sebastian since childhood resurfaced. His face fell, but he didn't dare engage in a verbal spar with him right now.
After all.
Today was the day Sebastian would fall from grace!
He would lose all his power in the Croix family!
Cameron turned and marched over to take a seat further inside.
Raelynn could see the apprehension in his posture.
She wasn't necessarily trying to defend Sebastian; Cameron's behavior was simply revolting.
Besides.
Sebastian didn't need her help.
The man's words were far more venomous than hers.
She continued pushing him into the room.
Sitting at the head of the hall, Forrest Croix glanced over.
His gaze swept past Raelynn and landed on Sebastian's legs. He frowned. "What happened?"
Sebastian didn't bat an eye. "A minor accident. A car crash. It's nothing serious."
Forrest's expression remained unreadable.
There was a flicker of displeasure and coldness in his eyes. Sebastian's personal driver rarely made mistakes. A car crash like this was far more likely to be orchestrated than accidental.
Raelynn couldn't fathom why Sebastian would use such a flimsy excuse. If Chairman Croix Sr. investigated, wouldn't his lie fall apart immediately?
Given that Sebastian was the designated heir, the level of scrutiny would be intense.
Raelynn understood the situation perfectly now.
Sebastian was surrounded by enemies.
At that moment.
Cameron's father, Eugene, chimed in. "What's done is done, and there's no turning back. If Cameron hadn't reacted quickly that very night and poured in funds to salvage whatever market share he could, the Croix family would have handed everything over on a silver platter."
Cameron feigned a sigh. "I always thought you had a firm grasp on the bigger picture, Sebastian. I never expected something like this. You've put us in a very passive position. The initial investments are practically wiped out. I'm afraid this won't sit well with anyone."
Cyrus also spoke up, his tone complicated. "We can't deny Sebastian's mistake. I understand everyone's frustration. He should be penalized. I vote in favor of disciplinary action, without any bias."
He stated his position firmly.
Hearing Cyrus's stance, Raelynn couldn't help but look at Sebastian, who hadn't even lifted his eyes.
His own father was throwing him to the wolves for the sake of 'fairness and justice,' and he didn't react at all.
Eugene chuckled. "Cyrus, Sebastian is your son. Are you really willing to do this?"
Cyrus pressed his lips together. "That's no reason to cover for him. He's young. Carrying such a heavy burden, it's inevitable he'd slip up and make a mess."

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
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...
