Chapter 100

Author: Cloudsearcher
Jordyn ran downstairs and told Trevor, "Dad, Mom's already having lunch in the room. So, she's not coming down here."

Miles raised an eyebrow when he heard it. It turned out Celeste knew her place. Beck lowered his gaze and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Wynn smiled subtly. She knew that Celeste wouldn't dare to join them for lunch. After all, no one really wanted her here.

Celeste could try coming down and joining them, but all she would get was mockery and exclusion. Instead of putting herself through this, it was natural for her to hole up in her room and be the weasel that she saw.

Trevor heard what Jordyn said and responded, "Alright. Got it."

He wasn't that insistent about Celeste joining them as well. "Let's not wait anymore. Dig in, everyone."

Wynn heard what he said, and her smile deepened. Then, she gracefully sat next to Trevor.

Meanwhile, Celeste continued to work after she had finished her lunch. By now, Matthias had reached home, and she had thought of more new ideas.

    The hot spring retreat was vast, and Celeste had no idea where Trevor and the others were. She didn't run into them when she went downstairs.Since the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, Celeste called on two staff members to help her and headed up the mountain.At this hour, the wind was a bit chilly, but she was dressed warmly and didn't feel cold. She spent some time enjoying the breeze and picking apples, which helped clear her mind.With so many people helping, it didn't take long to fill two or three cartons of apples.After they finished, she didn't head down immediately. The sunset was beautiful today, so she sat down to appreciate it for a while.Just then, she heard footsteps and the voice of a child.She turned her head and met Beck's gaze.He clearly hadn't expected to run into her either and hesitated for a moment.At that moment, the child on the video call excitedly exclaimed, "Ms. Rodriguez!"It turned out that Beck was on a video call with Shanice, showing he

    Tonight's bonfire party featured stew, grilled chicken, and barbecued meat.The chicken stew was already simmering, and the grilled chicken was prepared. A long table beside the bonfire was filled with an array of top-tier, fresh ingredients, all prepped and ready to cook.The bonfire was already burning.Miles and the others had taken their seats around it.When Beck and Wynn returned, Wynn naturally sat down beside Trevor.Miles couldn't resist and had already started eating the marinated grilled chicken.Seeing that everyone had arrived, he was about to officially start eating but suddenly thought of Celeste.He turned to Jordyn and said, "Jo, go upstairs and invite your mom. Tell her there's delicious food here and ask her to come down and eat with us."Even though he figured Celeste would refuse, just like at lunch, it was still necessary to go through the motions.Wynn understood his intention as well. After all, they had done their part. Whether Celeste came down or not

    Trevor let out a silent chuckle and said, "Got it."With that, he turned around and left.By the time he went back downstairs, Miles and the others were already eating. Seeing him return alone, they were all a bit surprised.Like Jordyn, they had assumed that since Trevor personally went to invite her, Celeste would never refuse.Beck asked, "She's not coming down?"Trevor replied, "No."Then, he turned to the staff assisting them and instructed, "Prepare a portion of the barbecue, grilled chicken, and stew. Then, send it upstairs to the missus."Wynn pressed her lips together at his words.Celeste refusing to come down and Trevor arranging for food to be sent up to her didn't necessarily mean anything.But, she didn't like hearing him refer to Celeste as the missus. It sounded like he was acknowledging Celeste as his wife.However, she soon reasoned that the staff at the retreat probably didn't even know Celeste's name. If he didn't refer to her as the missus, how would they

    Due to the angle and height of the camera, the others in the video conference could only see that the person walking in from outside had a great physique and carried himself with an elegant and composed demeanor.Just from his presence alone, they could tell he wasn't an ordinary person. But they couldn't see his face.At first, people in the company assumed there was something going on between Celeste and Matthias.It wasn't until later that they found out Celeste was already married and had a child who was quite grown up.However, Celeste rarely spoke about her personal life. When it came to her husband, the team knew almost nothing.Because Celeste was stunningly beautiful, and the more they worked with her, the more they realized she was far more capable than they had initially thought—even more impressive than Matthias—everyone became quite curious.What kind of man could marry such a gorgeous, intelligent, and capable woman?Now, Celeste's husband had finally made an appea

    Celeste assumed Trevor wouldn't be coming back.She intended to close the door before heading into the bathroom. However, just as she walked over, she ran right into Trevor, who had turned back.She froze and stepped aside.She thought he had just come back to grab something—after all, his luggage was still in the room.But when Trevor entered the room, he casually shut the door behind him. From the looks of it, he had no intention of leaving tonight.Celeste was caught off guard.Before she could say anything, Trevor walked past her and headed further inside.As he passed, Celeste keenly caught the lingering scent of Wynn's perfume on him. And there was a faint lipstick mark on the collar of his pajama top.He had just taken a shower and changed into these clothes, so there was no need to guess—Wynn's perfume and the lipstick mark had clearly been left on him after they left earlier.The moment she saw him, she had already noticed that his lips seemed a little red. At first,

    At that moment, Jordyn noticed Celeste coming out with her suitcase. "Mom?""Mm." Celeste snapped back to reality, closed the door, and said, "I have work to do, so I'm heading back first. You stay here with Dad and have fun."Jordyn quickly nodded. "Okay, I got it, Mom."Celeste dragged her suitcase downstairs. When she reached the ground floor, she ran into Trevor, who was with Wynn.Seeing her leaving with her suitcase, he simply asked, "You're leaving?"Celeste replied coolly, "Mm.""Did you call a car?""I did."He didn't try to stop her and only said, "Alright."Celeste then walked out with her suitcase, got into the car, and left.…Miles woke up later than usual that day.When he came downstairs for lunch with Trevor and the others, he said, "Trevor, why don't you go upstairs and invite her down?"Of course, he was referring to Celeste.Trevor said indifferently, "No need. She has already left."Miles raised an eyebrow. "She left?"Beck also paused for a moment.

    Although Ivan had lowered his voice and avoided Betty when handing over the invitation, Celeste understood everything perfectly.She replied, "I know."Betty and Martha were close friends. By right, Martha would attend Betty's birthday celebration.However, since Martha was older than Betty, according to their customs, elderly guests older than the birthday celebrant would not attend.For the past few years, Betty's birthdays had not been grand affairs. It was just a simple family dinner.And in all those years, Trevor had never once attended Betty's birthday. He excused himself by saying he was busy from the beginning.But Celeste knew that even if he had free time—enough to go out and have fun with friends—he still wouldn't show up.Even so, every year as Betty's birthday approached, she would always hold onto a bit of hope and ask him in advance if he was available, if he could accompany her back to the Rodriguez residence to celebrate.But every time, she was met with disap

    Celeste lightly covered her nose for a moment before casually letting go and taking a small step back, subtly increasing the distance between them.Trevor didn't seem to notice her small movements. He opened the invitation and glanced at it. "70th birthday?""Mm." This time, she didn't ask if he was free that evening, nor did she plead with him to make time for it. She simply said, "Please tell your parents."It was unclear whether Trevor noticed that she hadn't asked him this time.He glanced at her, then casually set the invitation aside and said, "Got it." With that, he turned and walked into the bathroom.Celeste looked at his back for a moment, then put away the hairdryer and headed to Jordyn's room to help her shower.By the time she finished washing Jordyn's hair, drying it, and getting her ready for bed, nearly an hour had passed.Jordyn clung to her arm and snuggled into her embrace, asking, "Mom, can you sleep with me tonight?"Given the current state of things betwee

    Melissa likes Celeste? How is that possible?If what Miles said was true, then what she told Melissa yesterday…Thinking about how Melissa had left during their conversation yesterday, Wynn's heart sank.Perhaps noticing her change in expression, Trevor, concerned, asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"Wynn snapped back to reality, forcing a smile. "No, I'm fine."Later that day, she informed her family.Upon hearing that Melissa liked Celeste so much, even agreeing to let her be their daughter-in-law, both the Shaw family and the Locket family were in disbelief."Celeste is married with a child, and her family background is ordinary. But Matthias' family is well-off and successful. How could the Yoder family possibly agree to them being together? Did Mr. Quinton misunderstand?""That's right," Linda hurriedly added, "Or maybe that woman hid her past? The Yoder family doesn't know she was married, which is why they—"Wynn also couldn't understand why the Yoder family

    The next morning, Trevor, Jordyn, and Wynn arrived early at the sports hall for Jordyn's competition.After they had been there for a while, Beck and Shanice arrived as well.Jordyn saw them and greeted, "Mr. Harper, Shanice, you're here."Shanice came over and shook Jordyn's hand. "The competition is about to start. Are you nervous, Jo?"Jordyn was very calm and shook her head. "No, I'm fine."Beck had some business to attend to, and he was just dropping Shanice off.Trevor knew Beck was in a hurry and said, "I'll take care of Shanice. You can go ahead with your things."Beck nodded. "Alright, I'll join you all for lunch later.""Okay."Their relationship seemed to be as good as ever. However…Wynn listened to their conversation, her gaze shifting between Trevor and Beck. If Trevor knew that Beck had developed feelings for Celeste, would their relationship still be as good as it was now?Beck noticed her gaze and gave her a slight nod. But he didn't speak to her, just turne

    After Sebastian and Melissa left, Trevor asked, "Did you finish talking to Mrs. Yoder?"Wynn smiled slightly and nodded.Looking at Melissa's expression earlier, it seemed that she was becoming increasingly displeased with Celeste.…Melissa had actually known about the issues between InnovaTech and YodaVision long before. Matthias had already informed her in advance.When Melissa was talking to Wynn, she didn't really get a phone call—she had recorded their conversation.She walked a little further away, glanced at Trevor and Wynn, and then sent the recording to Matthias.Matthias and Celeste had not finished work yet. After listening to the recording, Matthias smiled and went to Celeste's office to inform her of the situation.After hearing the news, Celeste said, "Now I can be sure that we'll definitely win the lawsuit.""Exactly."Their insistence on suing for contract termination was not only because they really wanted to break the contract with InnovaTech, but also beca

    Wynn had thought she would have to wait a few more days for news.However, that afternoon, Trevor called her and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Yoder will be attending an auction tomorrow. Would you like to go?"Wynn smiled and replied, "Sure."The next evening, not long after arriving at the auction, Trevor took Wynn over to greet Sebastian and Melissa. He introduced Wynn to them.Sebastian and Melissa knew about Trevor's relationship with Celeste and were aware of all the conflicts between Celeste and Wynn. However, when they saw Trevor, they didn't let their feelings about Celeste show.They smiled and shook hands with Trevor, greeting him warmly. When Trevor introduced Wynn, Melissa also smiled and politely shook Wynn's hand, saying, "Hello."The auction was filled with the elites from high society.After some casual conversation, Trevor and Sebastian, along with others, began discussing business matters.At this moment, Wynn saw an opportunity and started chatting with Melissa alone.

    Caleb was still thinking about it when Jorge asked him again, "Caleb, besides your father and my old man, do you know anyone else who has Zachary's contact info?"Caleb replied, "No one else."Then, as if something occurred to him, he added, "But didn't you say Ms. Locket had met Zachary before? I imagine she should have his contact. "If talking to Mr. Newman could resolve things, wouldn't she have already reached out to him herself?"Jorge said, "I thought about that too. But since she's directly involved, unless absolutely necessary, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to contact Mr. Newman just to complain about Matthias, right?"He was actually being pretty considerate. Seems like he liked Wynn more than he realized.Jorge said, "Forget it, I'll try asking some other people.""Alright."The fact that Celeste was also one of Zachary's students hadn't been made public meant that it was to remain confidential. Since that was the case, it wasn't his place to share it with Jorge

    Theodore refused to help, so Jorge immediately decided to contact Zachary himself.However, he didn't have Zachary's contact information.He messaged Theodore asking for Zachary's number, and Theodore simply replied with a single word. "Nope."Before he could even react, Theodore sent another message. "I've already spoken to Harold too. Don't waste your time."Seeing that, Jorge was genuinely a little angry.But when he tried calling Theodore again, the call went unanswered.Since Theodore and Harold were both at a dead end, he thought of Caleb.He remembered Caleb had mentioned before that he had some work-related interactions with Zachary. They'd even had a meal together.With that in mind, Jorge reached out to Caleb.Caleb didn't return his call until the evening. After hearing that Jorge was looking for Zachary's contact info, he said, "I don't have Mr. Newman's number.""You don't? Didn't you have dinner with him and my old man before? You guys didn't exchange contacts?"

    Before Jorge could finish his sentence, Theodore cut him off. "You're trying to say that he's siding with Celeste again and bullying Ms. Locket, aren't you?"Jorge was surprised that Theodore hit the nail on the head. "Old man, how'd you know? Don't tell me you already know what happened?"Theodore replied, "I don't. I guessed."Back when Celeste and Matthias agreed to work with his foolish son for his sake, it was clear they wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him in the workplace.His son also wasn't the kind to stir up trouble at work for no reason. So, even if they couldn't become friends, their professional relationship should have stayed smooth.If Jorge didn't clash with Matthias or Celeste personally, then the conflict likely involved someone he cared about—probably Wynn.Earlier that year, when he'd met with Kael, Celeste, and the others for dinner, they'd happened to run into Wynn at the restaurant entrance.At the time, seeing how attentive his son was to

    Matthias crossed his legs. "Become what exactly? Blinded by lust? Or unable to tell right from wrong?"Both.Of course, Jorge didn't say that out loud.Matthias saw right through him and smiled. "But why do I feel like the one who's blinded and can't tell right from wrong isn't me, but someone else?"Before Jorge could respond, Matthias added, "Also, the student my mentor values most isn't me. It's someone else entirely. Mr. Robinson, you're giving me far too much credit."Jorge didn't expect that, even after bringing up Zachary, Matthias still showed no sign of remorse.But Matthias wasn't about to indulge him. He said directly, "If you can't bear to watch and want to seek justice on behalf of Ms. Locket, then you're free to terminate our contract."Of course, the condition is that you'll have to compensate YodaVision for the corresponding losses."Jorge thought he had approached Matthias politely and reasonably.But Matthias had been hostile from the beginning, and now, in a

    Last week, Matthias' lawyer went to InnovaTech to negotiate the contract termination, but the talks fell through. That same day, they filed a lawsuit with the court.When Celeste had that confrontation at InnovaTech with Wynn and the others, Matthias was away on a business trip.Maybe because she couldn't meet Matthias, Wynn hadn't given up on the matter yet.On Monday, when Celeste arrived at work, she saw Wynn again. As before, when the two women saw each other, neither acknowledged the other.When Celeste got to the office, she found that Matthias was already there."You're here early."Matthias shrugged. "I came in over half an hour early just in case someone tried to intercept me."Celeste smiled at that.…Jorge happened to be in YodaVision that day to discuss something with Matthias. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he spotted Wynn.He had already heard about what happened between YodaVision and InnovaTech last week. So the moment he saw her, he immediately u
