Evelyn opened her mouth, then closed it.
She finally understood the dynamic.
Arthur was completely blind to Sebastian's scandalous public affairs and harbored an inexplicable, unshakeable trust in him.
From her perspective, Sebastian's notoriously ruthless and emotionally detached nature should never have earned such high praise from someone like Arthur.
But she decided not to argue.
Shooting one last icy glare at Sebastian—who remained perfectly composed—she simply said, "I'll keep that in mind."
Either way, she wasn't going to let Raelynn suffer silently in a toxic marriage.
Raelynn cast a thoughtful glance at Sebastian.
She had always known her grandfather liked him.
As to why he liked him so much, she could never quite figure it out. Since Arthur was rarely this lucid, she couldn't get a straight answer even if she tried to ask.
Julian finally hit his breaking point. He snapped at Sebastian, "Come outside. We need to talk."
Sebastian turned to Arthur. "Grandpa, I'll be right back."
Arthur waved him off.
The moment they stepped out.
Julian sneered at him. "What the hell was that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me, Sebastian. A guy with your personality doing superficial PR work? Running to her grandfather to play the reliable, devoted husband? What's your angle?"
Sebastian looked at him coolly. "You haven't even been acknowledged as her brother yet. Instead of treating me like the enemy, maybe you should figure out how to salvage her terrible opinion of you."
His words were a flawless, lethal strike.
Sebastian turned his wheelchair to leave, tossing one final piece of advice over his shoulder. "You know what's going on between Raelynn and Ian. Right now, your target shouldn't be me—it should be evaluating if Ian and the Hudson family are actually worthy of her. As for her identity as an Yves, keep it a secret for now."
With that, Sebastian wheeled himself back into the room.
Julian stood there, frowning in deep thought.
He had always known Sebastian was a calculating mastermind with a venomous tongue, but Sebastian had just ripped away his last shred of dignity, ruthlessly exposing all his hidden anxiety and paralyzing guilt.
As for the Hudson family...
Julian narrowed his eyes.
Back then, the two families had formally negotiated the end of the arranged marriage.
Looking back on it now, he suddenly realized that the cancellation of the engagement...
Felt a little too forced, like they were rushed into it?

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
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...
