Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 817

Sebastian made no move to stop Raelynn. He knew that when it came to this mess, she and Ian were long overdue for an honest confrontation. This time, she would finally see certain people and realities for exactly what they were.

By the time Raelynn arrived at Zenith Holdings, Ian had just wrapped up a meeting.

Seeing her push open his office door, he already had a fairly solid guess as to how the evening's events had unfolded.

"Take a seat." Ian set down his signature pen and walked toward her.

But to Raelynn, the man standing in front of her felt miles away from the version of him she thought she knew. She had spent the entire drive desperately forcing her emotions back under control.

She refused to sit. She simply locked eyes with him. "The Hudson family trading Lily to the Croix family like a corporate asset—did you ever plan on telling me?"

At this point.

She wasn't naive enough to believe Ian was kept in the dark about his family's master plans.

He was the incoming patriarch of the Hudson empire, after all.

Nothing of this scale happened without his explicit knowledge!

Ian met her furious gaze. "You don't trust me?"

"Mr. Hudson, I have the self-awareness to know I'm not important enough for you to forfeit millions of dollars in corporate leverage. We don't have that kind of bond."

Raelynn delivered the unvarnished truth.

From the very beginning, when she and Ian colluded to register Lily under his name, they had both been operating on mutual exploitation. He needed her and the child to dodge an arranged marriage; she needed his power to hide her daughter safely out of reach.

However, the script had flipped mid-way.

Neither of them could have predicted she would turn out to be the long-lost Yves heiress.

Hearing her cold assessment, Ian's eyes darkened. "So, in your mind, I'm already guilty as charged?"

Raelynn had zero patience for this psychological chess match. Her face was a mask of ice. "The Hudson family has no right to use my child as a bargaining chip for profit. When you helped me secure Lily's paperwork, it was a business transaction where we both got what we wanted. You achieved your goal, and I don't owe you anything anymore. Since the Hudsons have decided to betray that arrangement, I refuse to be your pawn. The wedding is off."

She was going to take Lily and run.
