All Chapters of Betrayal Behind the Scenes: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The news about Keenan's expedited execution was broadcast this morning. Everyone was surprised that his death penalty would be carried out so soon.Catherine, Svarga, and their family watched the news on television. "What happened? Wasn't there still a two-week period before the execution was scheduled?""There might have been something that happened there. They say they might expedite or extend the sentence if the convict does something bad while in the cell," said Noel.Catherine shook her head. Despite her negative view of Keenan, she knew he could remain calm even in dire situations. Keenan would only revolt if his enemies made the first move."Could this be related to Shena or Arsila?" Catherine wondered.On the television broadcast, Keenan was shown being transferred by a police van to a unique facility for executions, along with other convicts. Keenan was found guilty of attempting to murder Catherine, resulting in the death of her unborn child and also of torturing Dhira.Toda

A man wearing a graduation gown from a prestigious university, with a graduation cap on his head, stepped down from the stage with a beaming smile. He jogged towards a woman in her 60s and immediately hugged her."Congratulations," said Ester, the woman, as she kissed both cheeks of Keanu Hart—a 24-year-old man who had graduated on time with the distinction of summa cum laude."Where's my mother? She came, right?" Keanu asked about Arsila, who was not with Ester."Your mother went to a fashion show, Karletta," Ester replied, causing the smile on Keanu's face to fade slowly.This was nothing new; Arsila had never celebrated Keanu for any of his achievements in life. Only Ester, the woman who had cared for him with all her heart for the past 22 years, as if he were her child."Well then, let's go to the fashion show!" Keanu suggested, pretending to be enthusiastic.Ester lightly tapped Keanu's shoulder. "I've already cooked a meal for you. Let's celebrate with some roasted bacon and a c

Raindrops in the quiet afternoon wet the clean windowpane, occasionally accompanied by birds seeking shelter in a prism-shaped vent. Catherine sought solitude, causing the people in the house to search for her frantically. Svarga's voice echoed repeatedly, calling her name, but she seemed to turn a deaf ear. Years after that incident, this was the first time she felt uneasy again.Something she thought was over and would never resurface suddenly disturbed her mind. She had never felt this unsettled before, as if something threatened her the moment that name was mentioned again."Hart? Keanu Garvield Hart?"Several times, Catherine tried to reassure herself that this Hart was not the same Hart as Keenan from the past."Keenan is dead; he couldn't have passed his name on to his children, but if he did... that would mean Arsila did it deliberately," she muttered."What should I do? Should I ask Charlotte to keep her distance from him?" Catherine shook her head, knowing full well that her

Keanu released his mother's embrace and stepped back a few paces. He said, "Mother, you shouldn't talk like that! Let me be clear, I will obey you, but that doesn't mean I have to follow every one of your requests."Arsila's body tensed; she felt like exploding with anger. Her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white, and her jaw tightened, ready to unleash a torrent of insults directed at her son."Charlotte is not an ordinary person; she is incredibly detailed, observing everything with sharp attention, even though her face remains calm.""Mother, I know things about her that you don't. You might understand the general outline of her life, but not the small, almost imperceptible movements that I notice every day."Keanu took firm steps, leaving Arsila on the verge of exploding. Arsila threw a glass at the door as soon as he closed it. The sound of shattering glass was piercing, and fortunately, Keanu moved quickly.This wasn't the first time Arsila had lost her temper.

Keanu felt anxious. Ever since Charlotte appointed him as one of the key people in the body lotion bottle redesign project, he had become the talk of many people because the project was worth hundreds of millions. Charlotte had promised a big bonus if the project succeeded, was well received by the product lovers, and managed to attract a larger market.Everyone wanted to be involved, but Zakaria had no choice but to recruit Keanu at Charlotte's request. Now, Keanu was trying to contact the woman, even waiting at a café as they had arranged yesterday. However, even as the lunch break was almost over, there was no sign of Charlotte showing up.Keanu felt slightly disturbed; he had never felt this intimidated before, although he also felt honoured to be able to contribute some of his ideas. However, the pressure he was receiving was more significant than expected, and he suddenly felt afraid that some people might dislike him or even set him up just because of this project.The man stoo
