Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 296

“Postpone the match?”

Celestine sat up in bed, blankets still warm from just having settled in.

Could things really be this coincidental?

“Hey, Crystal, do you know the name of the CEO of The Prescott Group?”

“President Prescott? You caught me off guard—I actually can’t remember off the top of my head. Hang on, let me look it up for you.”

Crystal Lennox pulled out her phone and started tapping away.

Celestine’s heart thudded in her chest, skipping a beat from nerves.

If Gideon really was the one behind The Prescott Group… suddenly, all these strange coincidences would make sense.

Crystal’s lips parted slightly as she read the name aloud.

“Finley Prescott.”

The tension in Celestine’s body instantly melted away.

Not him.

She let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Crystal tucked her phone away and gave her a curious look. “What’s got you asking about The Prescott Group all of a sudden, anyway?”

Celestine smiled, feigning nonchalance. “I realized I’ve never seen any coverage about their CEO. Got curious, that’s all.”

“You should’ve just asked me—I know all the gossip.” Crystal grinned mischievously. “Word is, Mr. Prescott married young and is absolutely devoted to his wife. She once mentioned wanting to study abroad in Germany, and he dropped everything—left the company behind just to go with her. For years now, he’s been running the business remotely.”

Celestine’s eyes widened. “Seriously? That’s wild!”

Crystal laughed. “What’s so wild about it?”

She didn’t think she’d shared anything all that shocking.

“It’s just…” Celestine paused, searching for the right words. “It’s rare to hear about a man so loyal, so completely in love with his wife.”
