Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 376

Sanderson had his own reasons.

Over the past few days, Chester had begun to resume managing his overseas businesses.

While his management style was the same as before, he was noticeably more impulsive when it came to key decisions.

Losing those years of memory had clearly made him less steady.

Sanderson truly disliked Joanna, but her companionship was undeniably helping Chester recover.

He had been managing the family for so many years, and he was tired.

Chester's marriage to Celestine had produced two children, but it had also brought chaos to the family, with the children constantly causing trouble.

He had even nearly lost his life over it.

If Chester was destined to marry Joanna, then Sanderson might as well let him have his wish during this period.

Chester's tense expression broke into a smile. "Thank you, Dad."

Dahlia looked like she wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.

That cunning little vixen Joanna really had her methods, completely bewitching her son.

But it was just a formality, a wedding ceremony for show.

Once Chester regained his memory, this marriage would be nothing more than an empty gesture.

She could still find a proper hostess for her son from a family of equal standing.

Celia was curled up on the sofa, quietly listening to the adults' discussion.

Upon hearing the news that Chester was going to marry Joanna, she excitedly called Raymond.

But he had also unexpectedly learned a lot about family drama from the chubby girl.

Celia was taken aback by the question but remained dismissive, pouting. "Raymond, why are you overthinking it? Miss Sinclair would never lie to us! I think you've been living with Mom for too long. You've been brainwashed by her."

She then told Raymond about Chester's amnesia.

"Miss Sinclair is focused on taking care of Dad. You shouldn't speak so badly of her!"

"Celia, how can you help her lie to Dad?" Raymond couldn't understand. "If you told Mom about this, she would do the same for him."

"Ha! Mom divorced Dad and didn't even want us! Why would she be so kind as to help him now? What do you mean, lie? Miss Sinclair is trying to help Dad get his memory back! Can you please stop being so hostile toward her?"

Raymond's voice was urgent. "Even if Miss Sinclair treats us the same, any child she has will be born with inheritance rights. Dad's money was supposed to be split between the two of us, but now it would have to be split three ways."

Raymond recalled the examples Cynthia had given him.
