Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 733

Evelyn already held a deep prejudice against Sebastian.

She hadn't forgotten how Seraphina Vance had thrown her weight around while attached to his side. Now that she knew Raelynn was her own flesh and blood, thinking about how Raelynn had been treated felt like a knife twisting in her heart.

She felt nothing but agonizing heartache and fury.

As a result.

Evelyn's abrupt mention of the arranged marriage instantly sucked all the air out of the room.

Sebastian lifted his eyes, his gaze heavy and unreadable, but he didn't rush to interrupt.

Raelynn looked at Arthur in panic. She still hadn't officially told him about her divorce from Sebastian.

Even though their estranged, broken marriage was tabloid fodder outside these walls...

She simply hadn't figured out how to break the news to her grandfather.

"You arranged a marriage for the child?" Arthur was having a good day; his mind was sharp and clear. He glared at them. "A massive family like yours still practices these outdated customs? If the child doesn't agree to it, I absolutely refuse to acknowledge it!"

With that.

Arthur waved Sebastian over. "Sebastian, come here."

Sebastian wheeled himself over.

He stopped right beside Raelynn.

Arthur declared, "My Raelynn is already married. This is my grandson-in-law, Sebastian Croix."

He formally introduced Sebastian to their faces.

Julian looked at Arthur's protective stance in sheer bewilderment. It was glaringly obvious that Arthur was extremely... satisfied with Sebastian?

Raelynn was sweating bullets.

She had no idea how this was going to unfold. She was terrified Sebastian would ruthlessly expose their divorce, and equally terrified Evelyn would blow their cover. It was so rare to see her grandfather in such high spirits, and she desperately wanted him to hold onto this peace for as long as possible.

He was ninety years old; she didn't want him to suffer an ounce of stress.

"I'm here to visit Grandpa. Is that really so strange?" Sebastian countered seamlessly.

Julian was choked into silence again.

He felt a surge of ironic fury. Sebastian hadn't even cared about Raelynn, so why was he suddenly playing the devoted grandson to her grandfather?

Yet, frustratingly, he couldn't refute it.

Even Raelynn found Sebastian's justification completely absurd.

But she didn't call him out on it.

Arthur looked at Evelyn. "Chairwoman Hayes, it seems you have some issues with Sebastian?"

Despite his age, he was sharp enough to read the tension in the room.

Evelyn cast a freezing glare at Sebastian, dropping all pretenses of politeness. "No. I just don't know this Mr. Croix very well, and I have my doubts about whether young Raelynn truly found the right man."

"Sebastian is a good kid," Arthur declared firmly. "I believe he is a capable husband who can shield Raelynn from the storms of life. A couple's life belongs to them alone, for better or worse. As elders, we shouldn't use our love as an excuse to overstep. Ultimately, I want Raelynn to have the freedom to decide her own destiny."
