All Chapters of Betrayal Behind the Scenes: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After news of Catherine and Svarga's wedding plans spread across the country, Arsila's face became a trending topic in various news outlets. Arsila wasn't a small-time businesswoman; she was equally influential as Svarga, though not on the same level as Catherine.Arsila's reckless behaviour at the bakery sparked heated discussions among many, including her hitting Svarga, slapping Catherine, and firing her. This led Arsila to face criticism and pressure to apologize to the victims."This is insane!" Dhira exclaimed, her eyes turning towards Catherine, who was reading a book in the corner of the room. "You're really daring, Catherine."Catherine merely smiled faintly. "I hate it when she calls me an adopted child. It must be Keenan who told her that, because during our marriage, neither Keenan nor his family ever knew mine."Dhira shook her head in amazement. "Now tell me, what's your next move?"Catherine closed the book and then looked out the window of the room. Her brown eyes scan

The wedding, which was held on such short notice, was surprisingly simple considering it was between two wealthy families. Only important guests, family, and famous field dignitaries attended the event."Mama, I'm nervous," said Catherine, repeatedly taking deep breaths."Calm down, dear. Everything will go smoothly today," replied Keira."Where's Papa?""Papa is in the waiting room, busy applying a cold compress to his swollen eyes because he's been crying about your wedding.""Mama, this isn't my first wedding—""But it is the first wedding for Mama and Papa."Catherine sighed, her heart still unsettled. Today was not a day of happiness for her because marrying Svarga resulted from a formal agreement they had both agreed upon, and she was determined not to develop any feelings for the man.Catherine had never asked or considered how Svarga felt about her. She hoped that Svarga felt the same way she did about the wedding. She hoped Svarga had no expectations for her.Catherine wanted

"I'm sure someone set us up," Svarga said. "That person deliberately made us fall asleep together there."Catherine didn't respond. Svarga and Dhira were still at fault to her, trap or not. Besides, Dhira hadn't said anything, and there was no clarification to defend himself. That meant the incident happened purely because they were driven by mutual desire.Catherine could understand if they had sex. Dhira was much closer to Svarga than she was; even behind the scenes, Dhira interacted more with people at the agency. An adult relationship like that was no longer an extended taboo if they wanted to do it. Dhira had his own life, and Catherine didn't need to control him about it. However, what was very unfortunate was that the careless act happened right before Catherine's eyes, as witnessed on her wedding day.Why didn't they do it another day if they wanted to do it? Had Dhira and Svarga harboured feelings for each other all this time and thought tonight was their last night together?

Biana laughed hard at every story that came out of Arsila's mouth. She laughed at the damage her children and in-laws caused at Catherine and Svarga's wedding."I am increasingly convinced that Catherine will be severely punished for all the falsehoods she has committed. She has used the Chandra family name and humiliated the family that raised and trusted her.""Not only that, but her new husband's family will also trample on her dignity. Ah, Catherine... she should have just died long ago rather than living as a parasite on others," Arsila said passionately."You're really clever, Arsila. After this incident... we don't need to worry about anything anymore because there is no longer that wretched woman threatening our lives using the Chandra name as a shield.""That crazy woman is truly desperate. Who knows whom she sold her body to just to elevate her own status, but trash remains trash!" Biana cursed while imagining Catherine's sad face in the past.Keenan arrived with a bottle of

An anonymous email appeared on the phone screen. Catherine paused for a moment, then read the contents of the email. Her tongue caught for a moment, her head unconsciously turned occasionally, and then her eyes stopped at Svarga."Temporary Contract for Trademark Ownership of Gistara Products"Such was the title in the attachment sent with the email. Curiosity suddenly surged within Catherine. However, she discussed it with her parents before talking to Svarga."Dad, I want to ask... it's about business," Catherine said."What's the matter?""Can trademark ownership be transferred at any time?""It can, there needs to be a contract between two or more parties, especially for short-term businesses."Catherine thought momentarily, closed her eyes, and quickly read the points in the email attachment."Roughly, what could cause a trademark to be taken over by someone else?""The most fatal reason is... plagiarism accompanied by intellectual property misuse," Noel replied.Catherine widene
