She Got His Celebration, I Got His Betrayal Chapter 04

I curled my fingers and gave no response.

That night, my throat was dry. I pressed the call button for a long time, but no one came.

So I pulled out my IV myself. Passing the room next door, I heard Celeste’s tearful voice.

“Julian, tell me you don’t love me! I dare you.”

I stopped. The man’s voice was tired and low.

“Celeste, I’m married. When you left for London to chase after that guy, I made myself let go of the past and love someone else.”

Celeste sobbed harder. “You said you’d protect me forever. The second I left, you married her! Julian, I just got carried away back then. I didn’t really love Evan Ashford. If you won’t marry me, they’ll force me to marry that old man!”

“You need to calm down.”

“Don’t you dare leave! Or I’ll post everything online and tell the whole world Katherine is the other woman who wrecked us!”

There was a beat of silence. Then footsteps moved toward the door. Celeste chased after him and yanked him back by the collar.

I looked away the moment her lips pressed against his.

“Mrs. Prescott, why are you out of bed?”

The nurse’s voice broke the silence.

The door swung open with a bang.

Julian’s collar was crooked. There was a smear of lipstick on his mouth.

He looked at me in a panic, his eyes wide. “Katherine, what did you see?”

I shook my head and held up my water cup. I left him standing there, frozen.

Back in bed, I picked up my phone again. [Did Celeste Vance ever go after you?]

His reply came fast. [Who?]

He never remembered anyone who didn’t matter.

The next day, Julian came to pick me up from the hospital.

I still pulled out the divorce settlement I had prepared in advance. But the moment he arrived, he grabbed my wrist.

“Katherine, the Vance family is trying to force Celeste into marrying some old money bastard. She’s a mess right now and pinning everything on me.”

His eyes were dark. I pulled out my phone and saw that my social media accounts had already been flooded.

[Homewrecker who ruined my Celeste’s relationship!]

[That slut deserved to be harassed! She went after Julian Prescott, and now he won’t even represent her!]

[Why don’t you just die!]

Julian’s voice turned rough, almost pleading.

“Celeste is at a breaking point in her career. If the public pins her as the other woman, her acting career is done.”

“When we get in front of the reporters, I need you to say you were the one who came between us. Katherine, I’ll make it up to you. I swear.”

I met his anxious gaze and said quietly, “That’s all you want from me?”

He seemed surprised by how calm I was. But Celeste’s crying had already frayed his nerves.

“That’s it. Reporters are waiting downstairs. You just need to clarify things for the public.”

Julian personally pushed me out the door. The next second, flashbulbs exploded in my face. Seven or eight microphones were shoved at me.

“Are you Katherine Prescott? What’s your relationship with Julian Prescott?”

“Celeste Vance posted that you interfered in her relationship with Julian Prescott. Are you the other woman?”

I stood in the rain, my hospital gown quickly soaked through.

I lifted my eyes to the cameras.
