Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 391

But recently, a growing number of employees had been expressing their dissatisfaction to her, some even signing a joint petition. And Yolande’s influence was visible in all of it.

She had suppressed it.

But she never expected Bagehot to double down.

Crystal looked at the man before her with disappointment.

She had thought her marriage to him would be a new beginning, a chance to escape from scumbags like Zeke. She believed there were still plenty of decent men out there.

But she never imagined some men couldn't even meet the basic standard of being a decent human being.

"Send Yolande back to Silvermere. I don't want to see her again."

"Crystal, Yolande is innocent in all of this. How can you just kick her out based on someone else's word?" Bagehot said, growing anxious.

Crystal let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Bagehot, look me in the eye and tell me, is there really nothing going on between you and your 'niece' who you share no blood with?"

A flicker of panic crossed Bagehot's eyes as his brow furrowed. "Crystal! What nonsense have those people been feeding you? I've always seen Yolande as a child!"

"If that's the case, then send her back to Silvermere and never bring her to Kismet Collective again. Can you do that?" Crystal asked, gently stroking her belly.

"Crystal, I'm your husband, not your servant. Don't speak to me with that tone."

Bagehot's handsome face turned cold as he pointedly avoided the question.

Crystal smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes. "If you can't, I'll get rid of this child."

"Celly, great news! That two-faced snake Yolande was fired by Bagehot in front of everyone! I heard she's being sent back to Silvermere today!"

Flossie's excited voice came through the phone.

Celestine was a bit surprised.

Was Bagehot really that angry?

He usually couldn't even bring himself to speak harshly to Yolande, yet this time he was willing to send her back to Silvermere?

"It was Miss Lennox who forced his hand. Starting next week, Miss Lennox will be coming into the office once a week."
