Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 282

Chester’s lips had gone pale, his fist frozen midair.

“Mr. Sawyer—it’s you?!”

The man sprawled on the bed was none other than Sawyer, the CEO of RoKa, the international conglomerate Fordham Group was currently working with. And the sultry woman tangled in his arms? She had absolutely nothing to do with Celestine.

What the hell is going on? That’s not Mrs. Fordham—I’m sure of it!

Wait, that’s Sawyer! He’s the head of RoKa! Isn’t he supposed to be a devoted family man? This is nothing like what people say online!

Ha! I heard Sawyer’s terrified of his wife. Looks like someone’s been caught cheating. This should be good!

Sawyer’s face darkened as he recognized the intruders. “Mr. Fordham, care to explain what’s going on?”

He had no idea there was a live stream running. No clue his years-long secret affair had just crashed into the spotlight. All he knew was that his fun had been ruined—and he was furious.

He’d heard a woman shouting outside just moments ago. If he hadn’t assumed she was someone sent by his wife to stir up trouble, he’d have tossed her out himself.

Sawyer’s narrowed gaze landed on Joanna. “You look familiar, miss.”

Joanna’s blood ran cold. Of all people—why did it have to be Sawyer? Her ex-husband’s sworn enemy, a man notorious for holding grudges.

“Sir… you must be mistaken,” Joanna stammered, her heart pounding.

Sawyer let out a cold laugh. “Mistaken? Then what are you doing here? Barging into someone else’s room without permission—does that pass for manners where you’re from?”

Chester’s brow furrowed in frustration. Sawyer was originally from back home too; it was only through his wife that he’d become a British citizen.

“Mr. Sawyer, I apologize. This is a misunderstanding. I’ll explain everything to you privately and offer a formal apology later.”
