Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 816

Cordelia asked, "So you're saying we bypass Raelynn entirely and just legally transfer Lily back to the Croix family?"

"Let's handle it exactly like that."

Cordelia sighed, feigning reluctance. "I suppose the Hudsons will have to play the villains here out of necessity."

She then probed, "And regarding the wedding? What are your thoughts on that?"

Forrest replied sharply, "That is Hudson family business. You don't need to consult me."

Cordelia fully understood the underlying message.

The negotiations continued behind the closed doors.

But out in the hall, Raelynn felt an icy chill invade every fiber of her being.

The biting winter snow outside seemed to have frozen directly into her bloodstream.

The Hudsons...

Once again, they had completely discarded her.

They had actually used her daughter as a bargaining chip to secure a multi-million-dollar corporate sector from the Croix family.

They had sacrificed her and Lily without a second of hesitation.

Throughout the entire process, not a single person had even considered consulting the child's biological mother. They had brazenly cut her out of the equation, negotiated the terms, and sealed the deal.

Raelynn's entire body went rigid.

Her eyes burned, so dry she could barely blink.

Her breathing grew erratic, a blinding rush of betrayal sending a searing heat through her veins until her skin prickled with pain.

Until.

Someone approached from behind, wrapping a firm hand around her wrist, pulling her stiff, numb body away from the door and leading her down the hall.

Raelynn felt like a ghost.

She had spent so long fighting tooth and nail for Lily's custody. She had nothing in this world—Lily was the only thing that truly belonged to her. For that, she had been willing to risk absolutely everything, even making desperate, reckless choices.
