The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 52

Seething with suppressed fury, Sienna instructed her driver to head straight to the Chairman's office at Sterling Group.

Before heading upstairs, she summoned Julian. The executive assistant at the door immediately stood up upon seeing her. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Sterling."

Sienna didn't even blink, storming straight into the office. The assistant looked startled, her surprise deepening as Julian hurried in right behind his mother. Sensing the heavy tension, the assistant smartly decided against taking them any coffee.

Nathaniel Sterling looked up as his wife entered, rising from his chair. "What brings you here?" Sienna held a position at her own family's company and rarely showed her face at Sterling Group.

Sienna's expression was thunderous. She remained silent until Julian closed the office door behind him. The moment it clicked shut, she spun around and delivered a stinging slap across his face.

Nathaniel rushed over, grabbing his wife's shoulders. "What on earth is going on? Why are you so furious?"

Shaking with rage, Sienna pointed an accusing finger at their son. "Tell him! Tell your father exactly what you've done!"

"I humiliated myself by going to Vance Properties to talk to Elara, practically begging her to come back, only to find out you've been doing this behind our backs!"

Seeing his wife's unprecedented anger, Nathaniel realized the gravity of the situation. His voice dropped to a dangerous octave. "Speak, Julian."

Julian realized Elara had exposed his affair to his mother. A mix of guilt and defensive anger flared in his chest.

"Mom, I... it was just a fling..." Julian trailed off. The affair was an undeniable fact. He had no excuse.

"You had the audacity to bring that woman to your grandfather's birthday gala!" Sienna shrieked. "Is there anything you won't do?!"

Hearing his pathetic stammering, Sienna raised her hand to strike him again, but Nathaniel beat her to it. He shoved Julian hard in the chest. "You absolute disgrace to this family!"

Julian stumbled backward, struggling to keep his footing. He didn't dare make a sound.

Knowing her husband's explosive temper, Sienna smoothly stepped between them, taking over the reprimand. "How did your father and I raise you?"
