Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 396

Chester stepped out of the elevator.

His distant, cold gaze made him look like he was staring at a stranger.

Celestine frowned.

Sanderson had mentioned Chester's amnesia to her before, but she had found it unbelievable.

Could he… really have lost his memory?

"Celly, why won't you just leave Chester alone? The shares Grandpa gave you were a gesture of gratitude for what your grandfather did. Chester allowing you to have the child was already his biggest concession."

Joanna, who had come down in the elevator with Chester, rushed to condemn Celestine before she could even speak.

For the past few days, she had stayed by Chester's side, embellishing the story of his relationship with Celestine.

She had firmly cemented the image in Chester's mind of Celestine as a manipulative woman who had schemed her way into his bed and was now trying to cash in on a past favor.

As expected, Chester's expression grew even more disdainful. "Who allowed you into the Fordham Group? You took the Fordham family's money, so you should know your place and stay away. You went to great lengths to send Raymond back to Silvermere, and as you wished, I've taken him in under my name. But from now on, Joanna will be his only mother. I don't want to see you again."

The two of them were so in sync that Celestine couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

She never thought Chester's amnesia would give Joanna such an advantage.

"Mr. Fordham, if you truly don't want me to bother you, you shouldn't have done something so shameless regarding my apartment rental."

Chester frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Joanna and Stein exchanged a look, a flicker of understanding in their eyes.

She knew that Celestine had recently struck a deal with The Prescott Group and was planning to open her own independent studio.
