Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 725

Raelynn stepped back instinctively as he approached, her brow furrowing. "You don't have to dress up your ruthlessness to make it look so glamorous. Whether he's willing or not, that doesn't give you the right to use me as a bargaining chip."

Besides.

She didn't believe Ian had to submit to this kind of extortion. Furthermore, his business decisions weren't made in a vacuum. Walking away from a massive real estate deal wasn't going to be easy.

Seeing her defensive stance.

It was obvious she was protecting Ian, already finding excuses for him in advance.

Sebastian slowly pulled back, a dark, predatory gleam in his eyes. "If your so-called true love can't even compete with the profit in front of him, Raelynn, then you will always be his second choice. It means you're nothing but a calculated risk he'd gladly abandon if the price is right."

"Does it look like I need you worrying about me?"

Raelynn shot back.

They had never really known how to communicate peacefully; every word they exchanged was designed to draw blood.

Sebastian stared at her in silence for a moment. "No, you don't."

In a foul mood, Raelynn stood up. Knowing she couldn't stop the Croix family from weaponizing this situation made her sick to her stomach.

She took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over Sebastian's bandaged arm and the cast on his leg. "Not everyone is as heartless as you are. By using this to line your own pockets, you're dragging someone else's genuine feelings into your sick little game."

"As for your leg and your injuries, since I promised to be your physical therapist, I will come by regularly to manage your medications and assist with your treatments. I won't owe you anything on that front."

With that, Raelynn turned on her heel and walked out without hesitation.

She didn't spare a single ounce of nostalgia for the place that was once her home.

Even though it was late into the night.

Sebastian remained in his wheelchair, his gaze tracking her retreating figure. Finally, he spoke softly, "Have the driver take her back."

Mary had been standing nearby, listening in terror.

Now, she nodded frantically and hurried away to escape the tension.

He picked up the divorce agreement, pinched it between his fingers, and ruthlessly tore it to shreds, tossing the pieces into the trash.

Raelynn didn't refuse the car Sebastian arranged.

After all, she hadn't driven herself there.

She had the driver take her straight back to the hospital.

Her mind was racing during the ride.

She thought about how Sebastian was essentially going to sell her out.

She thought about that fateful night with him on the cruise ship years ago. By the next morning, rumors were flying everywhere. The gossip had even reached her campus, and the media had begun reporting wildly on the scandal without officially naming names.

It had cornered the Croix family, forcing them to issue a public statement claiming the two were already deeply in love. Matilda Croix had been forced to approve the marriage just to do damage control.
