Chapter 44

Author: Cloudsearcher
Ruby immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this Cel? Long time no see. You're getting more and more beautiful."

"Mom…" Hearing Ruby compliment Celeste, Linda was displeased.

She had always known that Celeste was beautiful, but after not seeing her for a few years, she didn't expect her to be even more stunning.

Looking at Celeste's smooth, delicate skin and outstanding temperament, jealousy surged in Linda's heart.

However, she quickly consoled herself—so what if Celeste was beautiful? Her future brother-in-law didn't like her anyway. He only loved her sister, Wynn.

With that thought, she felt a little better.

Harvey looked over and said, "Ruby, what brings you here?"

"We hadn't seen you in a while, Uncle Harvey, so we came to check on you," Linda interjected.

Then, she noticed the open brocade box the store owner had just displayed. So, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Uncle Harvey, is this the wedding anniversary gift you customized for Aunt Lizzy? It's so beautiful

    After walking some distance, Lottie looked at Celeste with concern. "Cel…"Celeste shook her head and said lightly, "I'm fine."From the moment Harvey had divorced her mother, he had stopped being her father. What pained her was how her presence had added to her uncle's burdens.As for Trevor's favoritism. Thinking about how Trevor only cared about Wynn, how ruthless he was toward Matthias and Ivan for Wynn's sake, and how he had never considered her feelings, it felt like a knife was stabbing into her heart.The pain was unbearable."Cel…" Lottie hugged her, feeling her own heart break for her dear friend.Celeste forced a smile but didn't say anything. It was fine. She had already decided to move on. She just needed a little time. She could do it."Want to grab a drink?" Lottie thought Celeste needed to relax.But, Celeste shook her head. "No."Rather than drinking, she preferred going home to work on her data. That was when she could truly calm down, relax, and regai

    In Lennox's view, Celeste was simply jealous that Wynn had taken Trevor away, which was why she was deliberately obstructing Wynn from joining YodaVision.Celeste had neither talent nor knowledge—all she did was stir up trouble. Just thinking about it made Lennox scoff.She figured it wasn't just her—Trevor probably thought the same way, didn't he?Unfortunately, Celeste herself was completely oblivious to this. Perhaps even now, she was still smug about ruining Wynn's opportunity.Thinking about Wynn's brilliance and then comparing her to Celeste, Lennox became even more convinced that the two were simply not on the same level.Harvey sighed. "I know." He shared the same thoughts as Lennox."But she just won't listen.""She really is…" She was just as stubborn as her mother.Lennox didn't say this out loud—after all, anything related to that person was never pleasant to discuss."Regarding Cuap…""Let's wait until Wynn comes back and ask her about it." Harvey was highly in

    Trevor owned multiple companies and was always busy.For the next two days, he was away on business, leaving Jordyn alone at home. Feeling bored, she couldn't help but call Celeste again.Having been occupied for two days, Celeste had already moved on from what had happened that day. So, when she saw Jordyn's call, she answered."Mom, when are you coming home…"Upon learning that Trevor wasn't home, Celeste went back after work that evening.Jordyn was overjoyed when Celeste returned. She clung to her, excitedly sharing amusing stories from school and telling her all about the new game she had recently become obsessed with, insisting on teaching Celeste how to play.As long as she had finished her homework, Celeste was generally willing to spend time with her, playing whatever she wanted and indulging in her interests, as long as they weren't harmful.After watching Jordyn play twice, Celeste teamed up with her for over an hour.That night, Jordyn was in high spirits. When it w

    "No. Mom, come home and then go with me! The hot spring retreat is so far away, and it'll be so boring to go alone," Jordyn said.Celeste hesitated for a moment. Perhaps, she could go with Jordyn. "…Alright."YodaVision was currently developing a new app, and after dinner, Matthias called her to discuss some technical issues.While Trevor and Jordyn were chatting in the living room, Celeste stepped outside to take the call. The conversation lasted half an hour.Jordyn looked up at her and couldn't help but say, "Mom, you've been getting so many phone calls lately. You talk for so long every night. You weren't like this before…"Hearing this, Trevor lifted his gaze toward her.Peter also realized that.After all, Celeste had never been someone who made frequent phone calls, let alone ones that lasted this long.Could it be that she was having an affair? No… that couldn't be, right?Considering how deeply she felt for Trevor, that didn't seem likely."It's just about work," Cel

    Trevor didn't show up for a long time, which made Martha angry and Jordyn unhappy.Celeste, however, remained calm as if nothing had happened. She peacefully made tea for Martha and said, "Maybe something urgent came up, and he couldn't get away."Martha was in a bad mood and went to bed early that night.Jordyn called Trevor several times, but no one answered.The next morning, when Celeste woke up, there was no one beside her. Jordyn had disappeared somewhere.After washing up, Celeste left her room and looked around, but she couldn't find her.When she asked, she found out that since Trevor hadn't come, Jordyn had found the place boring and asked someone to take her down the mountain early in the morning to play.Meanwhile, Martha had caught a cold from the night breeze and had a severe headache in the middle of the night. She had already returned to Fleming Manor before Celeste woke up.Since she didn't want to disturb Celeste's rest, she hadn't informed her right away.Fo

    After that, the lady's fiancé rushed over to stop her, and the two started arguing.Shortly after, the lady's family also arrived.Lottie was right—the lady's family must be well-off. They acted extremely arrogantly toward the Locket family.Harvey lowered his stance, seemingly trying to reason with them, but the lady's family had no interest in listening. They immediately launched into a tirade against the Locket family.The faces of the Locket family members turned grim. Judging by their expressions, they must have been insulted.At that moment, Trevor appeared.The first thing he did was take off his coat and drape it over Wynn. Then he turned and said a few words to the lady's parents before picking Wynn up and walking away without a glance.From the moment Trevor stepped in to protect Wynn, the expressions of the lady's family changed.Seeing that he was about to leave, they tried to follow him, as if they wanted to explain. But the security guards at the gala stopped them

    The next morning, after waking up and having breakfast, Celeste headed out for work as usual.At noon, while she was having lunch, Jordyn's call came through. This was the first time Jordyn had called her since secretly sneaking away from the hot spring retreat.Celeste answered."Mom…""Mm." Celeste responded and asked, "Have you eaten?""Just finished!"That morning at the hot spring retreat, she had received a call from Wynn, who told her that Trevor was taking her out for fun and asked if she wanted to join them.She immediately agreed and sneaked away while Celeste wasn't paying attention.They had a great time and only returned to the city yesterday afternoon. However, they didn't go home last night.This morning, after returning to school, Jordyn thought of Celeste and felt a little guilty. She was worried that she might be angry.

    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.

    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
