Chapter 277

Author: Cloudsearcher
The next day, when Celeste went upstairs after breakfast, she noticed Jordyn was on a video call with Trevor.

Jordyn looked up and called out to her.

Celeste hummed a soft reply, then opened her laptop.

On the other end of the phone, Trevor asked, "Do you have any plans for today?"

Jordyn was lying on the bed. Cheerfully, she replied, "I want to watch a movie, and Mom will be taking me to see one this afternoon!"

Celeste was engrossed in the materials she had organized the day before.

Moments later, Jordyn came over holding the phone. "Mom, Dad wants me to give this to you."

Celeste paused, took the phone, and glanced at Trevor's face on the screen. She didn't feel like having a video chat, so she placed the phone on the desk, pointing the front camera at the ceiling. "What is it?"

"Thank you for taking care of Jo these few days," Trevor said.

Celeste didn't reply. Her attention was still on her laptop as she typed, adding in the ideas she had missed yesterday.

You hate them so much yet you have kept Celeste's accomplishments a secret. Should it not be rubbed in their faces?

    After grabbing a bite and watching a movie, Celeste and Jordyn passed by an arcade. Jordyn's eyes lit up—she hadn't played games with Celeste in ages. Without hesitation, she pulled her inside. Trips to the mall, movies, and arcades were nothing new for Jordyn, but getting to do them with Celeste again made it feel special. She was having the time of her life. That evening, Celeste had dinner plans with Theodore. As they left the arcade, she figured she'd drop Jordyn off at home before heading to the restaurant. But Jordyn wasn't ready to part ways. She tugged on Celeste's hand and pouted. "Can't I come with you?"Celeste hesitated. It was just a casual dinner with Theodore—nothing formal. Hence, bringing Jordyn along wouldn't be a big deal. With that in mind, Celeste called Theodore and asked if he was okay with her bringing a child. Theodore chuckled as he replied, "Cel, just bring them along. I don't mind." Then, after a brief pause, he asked, "Yours?""Yeah."The

    Having worked non-stop for over a day and night, Celeste noted down everything that needed to be documented and sent it to Matthias. Finally, she made her way downstairs for breakfast. After going through the materials she had sent, Matthias was so excited his hands trembled. "This is exactly it, Cel! It's perfect!"Rubbing her aching temples, Celeste replied, "I'm going to sleep for a bit. Let's talk later.""Sure thing."Celeste slept until late afternoon. When she woke up, she found Jordyn playing with a puzzle in her room. As soon as Jordyn saw Celeste, the former stood up. "Mom, you're awake!"Celeste nodded in reply. "Are you thirsty, Mom? Should I get you a glass of water?"Celeste paused for a second. "Yes, please."After pouring Celeste a glass of water, Jordyn went back to her own game. Celeste watched as she played the puzzle, and she realized how much she had neglected her in the past few days due to her work. But today was the last day of the holidays.

    Just after Jordyn called Celeste, the car Trevor sent to pick Jordyn up showed up. In the end, Jordyn didn't manage to see Celeste before she left. As she reached the private lounge, Jordyn ran straight into Trevor's arms. "Dad, Wynn, hi!"Smiling, Trevor softly ruffled her hair. Wynn helped Jordyn set her backpack aside. Beck, Miles, and Linda were there in the private lounge as well. Seeing how much Jordyn missed Trevor and Wynn, Miles chuckled and said, "See? I told you, Trevor. You should've brought Jo along on the trip. Look how upset she is. If you'd stayed away any longer, Jo would probably have been in tears."Miles's comment made it seem like staying with Celeste had been unfair to Jordyn. Before Trevor and the others could say anything, Beck smoothly steered the conversation in another direction. "Did you do anything fun while you were there, Jo?"Jordyn settled down in her seat. "I did! I went to watch a movie with Mom, and we played VR games together. We also d

    They were halfway through the meal when something suddenly popped into Miles' mind. He said to Wynn, "That reminds me, YodaVision Co. is actively recruiting talents. Do you want to try working there again?"Although she had spent the last few days overseas, she was aware of YodaVision Co.'s movements. Truth be told, she was quite tempted to go. After all, the company had the most impressive technology ever. Working there would do wonders for her personal growth. However, something was still holding her back.Miles knew that Wynn was worried that Celeste might make things hard for her. He grinned and said, "I ran into a friend yesterday. It sounded like Matthias was also earnestly getting in touch with people with experience in management, aside from technicians with a specific set of skills."Judging by the way YodaVision Co. was recruiting new talents, Matthias didn't reserve any managerial position for her." Naturally, he was talking about Celeste. YodaVision Co. was expanding

    After work, Celeste and Matthias swung by Zachary's villa. Zachary was frowning and talking with someone over the phone. When he saw them, he ended the call, took a seat, and said, "After seeing your research content, some people were interested in meeting you. I'll introduce you to them next time."Celeste nodded obediently. "Okay."Her current research had been officially designated as a national project. Then, Zachary talked to her about what she should expect from it. Afterward, Celeste and Matthias asked him for some pointers about something. By the time they left, it was already midnight. The next morning, they went back to YodaVision Co. Celeste was going through the resumes that the human resources department had filtered for the technical department. She had been reading them for a while when she suddenly stopped. Matthias was right next to her, and he noticed how unusual she looked. He asked, "What's the matter?""This is Wynn's resume."Matthias raised an eyebrow

    The government staff arranged lunch for Celeste and the other company representatives. After the forum had concluded, she packed her stuff, rose to her feet, and left. Trevor watched her retreating figure and walked behind her. The Robinson family and the Jennings family were quite close to each other. So, Jorge and Harold knew one another quite well. Once they were out of the conference room, the former greeted the latter. Celeste ignored Jorge, who was standing next to Harold. Instead, she walked over and greeted Harold as well. "Mr. Jennings."He smiled and responded warmly, "You don't have to be so stiff. Just act natural."Celester readily took his advice. "Alright, Mr. Jennings."Jorge heard what she said and was stumped. If memory served him right, Celeste and Harold had probably met each other for the first time during Harry's art exhibition. Back then, Harold might've been quite polite toward Celeste out of respect for Matthias, but they were likely not that close. Th

    Jorge proceeded to tell Caleb about what he saw today. The latter replied to his text, saying, "Celeste and her grandma left a good impression on my dad and my grandpa. Perhaps that has something to do with it."The way Jorge saw it, Harold paid close attention to Celeste and treated her rather specially. It didn't matter how good of an impression she left, they had merely met each other once. It was too far-fetched. With that said, Jorge didn't think too much of it after he heard what Caleb said. The weather forecast predicted rain or even snow in the afternoon. Before Celeste finished eating, she noticed that it was pouring outside. After the meal, Harold and the other politicians needed to have a deeper discussion with Celeste and the other company representatives. This time, it was about last year's production and operation as well as this year's development plan. Later, Harold and the other politicians thanked the various companies for their contribution to the city's e

    Celeste's expression shifted slightly. She pushed him away and said, "Let me…"Trevor interrupted her and said, "Hold the umbrella."At the next moment, he swooped her up and carried her down the steps before she could say anything. She was still in his arms when he turned around and said to the others, "I'll be taking my leave now. Let's hang out again when we have the chance."The businessmen who were considerably close to him were actually a little stunned. After all, everybody knew about Celeste's relationship with Matthias. If Matthias let her represent YodaVision Co. for the forum hosted by the government, it also meant that things were still fine between them. Trevor had his own girlfriend. Even if he did have feelings for Celeste, he really should have exercised some restraint. Instead, he openly did something so intimate to someone else's girlfriend. In all honesty, he demonstrated a massive show of disrespect for Matthias. After all, Matthias had some fearsome pulls

    Trevor didn't have time to accompany Jordyn, but he could spend time with Wynn?Before Celeste could say anything, Jordyn spoke again, "Mom, I wish you had called earlier. If you had called earlier, I could have shown you a video from the helicopter."Celeste could tell that Jordyn was very pleased with Trevor's arrangements this time.For a moment, Celeste didn't know what to say. But she couldn't shake the heavy feeling of frustration growing in her chest.Jordyn continued talking about her plans for the next day and mentioned that she would be returning to the country that evening.Celeste listened, and before she could respond, Jordyn suddenly asked eagerly, "Mom, do you have time tomorrow? I want to call you again."Celeste snapped back to reality, and after two seconds, she replied, "I have time tomorrow.""Yay!"Knowing that Jordyn was already on her way back to the hotel, Celeste felt a lot more at ease. After chatting for a little while longer, she ended the video call

    Celeste was thinking the same thing.So, she replied to Trevor."I'm busy. Also, please keep your promise and make sure she doesn't go to my grandmother's house."After a while, Trevor replied, "Okay."After that, Trevor didn't contact her again.…On the third afternoon of the May Day holiday, while Celeste and her family were preparing to enjoy rafting at a scenic spot, Lottie sent her a photo.The person in the photo was Wynn.Lottie was currently in Galdovia, busy with a fashion show.Celeste looked at the photo and replied, "Is she watching your show?"Lottie replied, "Yes! Talk about bad vibes."Then, she sent another message. "She's alone, though. I didn't see Trevor."Celeste responded with an "Okay," not particularly concerned about the situation, and asked, "When are you coming back?""Not sure yet." Lottie had other things to attend to, so they chatted for a bit before she got busy.More than ten minutes later, Lottie video-called her..Celeste hesitated, and

    "Are you aware of the termination of the contract between YodaVision and InnovaTech?"Your student, Matthias, has become increasingly arrogant and indulgent, unable to distinguish right from wrong because of his obsession with love. Have you noticed this?"Jorge had intended to say these things, but when his eyes caught sight of Trevor, the words suddenly got stuck in his throat.These were, after all, matters concerning Wynn.Now that both Wynn and Trevor were present, Jorge felt that he had no place to speak on the subject. If he spoke out of turn in front of so many people, it would be equivalent to revealing his thoughts about Wynn to others.That would cause Wynn unnecessary trouble.Thinking of this, Jorge noticed Donald standing beside Trevor. He was aware of Donald's identity.Now that InnovaTech and YodaVision had signed the termination agreement, and then Wynn and Trevor were having a meal with Donald…He immediately realized what this meant.DataWing was indeed t

    Wynn quickly signed the termination agreement.As for the compensation, she promised to pay it within the specified time in the agreement.After receiving the news, Matthias snorted, "She sure is quick to act."The subsequent matters were handled by the lawyers. After Wynn signed the termination agreement, neither Celeste nor Matthias paid much attention to it.…Three days later, Zachary had a break, and the three of them hadn't seen each other for a while, so they made plans to meet for a meal.At noon, Celeste and Matthias left the office. When they arrived at the restaurant, they ran into Wynn and Trevor at the entrance.With them was also Donald Johansen, the CEO of another local AI company.Donald and Matthias were familiar with each other and had a decent relationship. They would often sit down and chat when they met.Now, seeing Matthias, Donald greeted him first, "Mr. Yoder."Matthias didn't even glance at Trevor and Wynn, responding with a smile, "Mr. Johansen."Do

    After confirming the contract termination, Wynn called Trevor to inform him about the situation."On the day of the auction, I misspoke during my conversation with Melissa, and she caught it. Matthias' reluctance to work with InnovaTech has also become very obvious."Even if I win the lawsuit, it would be difficult to guarantee that Matthias and his family won't cause trouble in the future. "Since they have no intention of collaborating with InnovaTech, I think it's better to terminate the contract early and find new partners. It may not be a bad thing."Trevor didn't ask what she had said that caused Melissa to latch onto her words.He just said, "Since you've decided, let's go ahead with the termination. Do you need my help with the termination fees?"To be honest, Wynn was somewhat moved by his offer. However, ever since her family moved to Baumond, Trevor had already done so much for them.Moreover, if she continued to expect him to help with everything, even if she was tal

    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.
