Chapter 49

Author: Cloudsearcher
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.

    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.

    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. That's why she decided to call.But when she heard her mom ask if she had eaten, she felt that she wasn't mad about her sneaking off that da

    By the time Celeste, Matthias, and their group had their tickets checked and entered the exhibition hall, it was already quite packed.The hall was massive, showcasing exhibits such as drones, flying cars, and humanoid robots.There were numerous exhibits, each with its own focus on core technologies. As soon as Celeste and the others entered, they were overwhelmed by the dazzling array of innovations.Matthias was quite well-known. Shortly after they arrived, people started coming over to greet him one after another.He also introduced Celeste to some connections.While she was smiling and greeting someone, she happened to be facing the entrance of the exhibition hall. Her gaze unexpectedly met Wynn's as she and her group walked in.Wynn paused. She didn't expect to see Celeste here.After all, this exhibition was a dream networking event for top tech elites. Each invitation was extremely valuable.Matthias was a major shareholder of YodaVision. It was one thing for him to bri

    Matthias glanced at Celeste and, sensing that Cole seemed to look down on Wynn, asked, "Mr. Turner, do you have a grudge against the Locket family?"Cole shook his head. "I wouldn't call it a grudge, but… Stella Smith—the lady who had an argument with Ms. Locket last night—is the daughter of an old friend of mine."I've known her since she was little. She can be a bit impulsive, but she's not unreasonable."Her fiancé, that kid from the Lowe family, John, got quite close to another girl two years ago—so much so that he was on the verge of breaking off his engagement with Stella."But then, somehow, that girl ended up getting acquainted with Trevor, and suddenly, she and John weren't in contact anymore…"From Cole's words, the implication was clear. Wynn had previously interfered in Stella's relationship with her fiancé. However, after Wynn managed to climb to a higher status, she withdrew herself.But what really frustrated Cole wasn't the past—it was last night's incident at the

    Celeste withdrew her gaze as Yandel and the others called her over to help answer some technical questions. Without giving Trevor another thought, she turned away and walked over to them.Just as she turned, Miles noticed her.At that moment, Wynn had walked over to Harvey, separating from Trevor.Miles nudged Trevor in the side with his elbow and motioned in Celeste's direction. "Over there—your wife is here too."Trevor followed his gesture and looked over. He spotted Celeste.She was holding a tablet and standing slightly to the side while explaining the technical concepts of an exhibit to Yandel and the others.Celeste and Yandel were deeply engaged in their discussion. They were completely unaware of Trevor's gaze.Miles paused for a moment before commenting, "Who are those people with your wife? Is she explaining the core technology of the exhibit to them? Is your wife actually this skilled?"Trevor kept his gaze fixed on Celeste, neither looking away nor speaking.At th

    Harvey and Lennox's purpose in attending the tech expo was to build connections.Of course, after Trevor arrived, Harvey and Lennox kept an eye on him while networking, curious to see how he would react upon seeing Celeste.However, they realized that when Trevor saw Celeste… he had no reaction at all. It was as if he were looking at a stranger. He didn't even bother to glance at her again.Rumor had it that years ago, Celeste had used underhanded tactics to force Trevor into marriage. He had no feelings for her whatsoever.Even after marriage, he rarely stayed at home. All he had for Celeste was disgust.It seemed the rumors were true.As the expo's main conference was about to begin, event staff notified the key company representatives to head to the conference hall for the summary meeting.Representing YodaVision at the conference were Matthias and Celeste.They walked ahead.Seeing that Celeste was allowed into the conference hall, Wynn and Lennox were quite surprised.Le

    Zachary's name was renowned worldwide, yet he was still quite young—just in his early forties.Tall and lean, he wore frameless glasses. As soon as the host finished speaking, he walked onto the stage amid thunderous applause.Reaching the center of the podium, he cast a calm glance over the audience, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.He slowly began, "Thank you very much to the organizers for the sincere invitation…"After briefly exchanging formalities, he gave a concise summary of the exhibits at the expo, offering recognition and insights. He then answered several questions from company representatives in the audience.Many wanted to ask questions, but time was limited. After about half an hour, Zachary stepped down from the stage.The conference continued with other segments, and as Zachary left the stage, he walked toward the front-row seat that had been reserved for him by the organizers.As he walked past, the business executives seated in the front row all stoo

    As soon as people received the news, many rushed toward the front rows.However, by the time those seated further back managed to squeeze their way forward, Zachary was already surrounded by the prominent figures who had been seated in the front row.Wynn was also in the front row, but she didn't attempt to speak with Zachary.Seeing this, Lennox grew anxious and waved her over.Wynn noticed and walked toward her. "Aunt Lennox."She understood what Lennox meant, so before her aunt could even speak, she said, "Mr. Newman is currently surrounded by influential figures. Even if I squeeze in to talk to him, I wouldn't get much time. Trevor said it's better to find another opportunity to speak with him privately later.""That's true…" Lennox finally realized she had been too impatient.The people around Trevor were all top-tier business magnates whom they normally wouldn't even have the chance to approach. Wanting Wynn to expand her network, Lennox gave her a little push, urging her

    Jordyn wrapped her arms around Celeste's neck, burying her small face against it to shield herself from the cold wind.Celeste's clothes were soft and warm, and Jordyn snuggled into her embrace, rubbing her face against her neck with enjoyment.Trevor was always punctual. By the time Celeste carried Jordyn to the parking lot, his car had pulled in.Seeing them, the car stopped right beside Celeste.Even though her dad had arrived, Jordyn didn't get down from Celeste's arms. Instead, she playfully said to Trevor, who had lowered the car window, "Dad, carry me inside."Trevor didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car and took Jordyn from Celeste's arms.Happily, Jordyn swung her legs in the air while nestled in his hold.As Trevor leaned in to take her, Celeste caught a familiar scent—Wynn's perfume.When he had been sitting beside her earlier, he hadn't smelled like this.This meant that after leaving them, he had gone to the Shaw family.Trevor looked at her and said,

    Zachary said, "Sure."Trevor nodded and turned to Celeste. "Are you going home tonight?"Celeste had still been going over the conversation between Trevor and Zachary in her head. When he suddenly spoke to her, she paused for a moment before responding, "No."Trevor nodded again. "Got it." Then he stood up and said, "I'll come by later to pick Jo up."That meant he was leaving.Celeste replied coldly, "Got it."Trevor didn't say anything else to her. Instead, he walked over to Betty and said, "Madam Klein, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."Betty didn't stand up, and her tone was equally cold, "Sure. I won't see you off."Trevor didn't seem bothered by her indifference. He turned to Ivan, gave him a slight nod as a form of greeting, and then left the banquet hall.Outside the hotel, Beck had just stepped out of his car when he saw Trevor walking out. His movements stalled for a brief moment.Trevor quickly got into his car and drove off.Beck watched but re

    Neither Celeste nor Trevor spoke again.Celeste's younger cousins had rarely seen Trevor before. Now that they were seeing him in person, they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.As someone who had held a position of power for years, Trevor exuded authority effortlessly, even without trying. When he noticed their gazes, he glanced at them briefly.Unable to meet his eyes, they instinctively looked away, not daring to stare any longer.Trevor showed no reaction to this, nor did he make any effort to exchange pleasantries. He simply shifted his gaze away, calm and indifferent.Trevor was the man Celeste loved. She had thrown herself into this love headfirst, and after all these years, she still couldn't escape.Given the way Trevor had treated his own niece for so long, it was impossible for Ivan not to harbor resentment toward him.However, what could he do?The Rodriguez family was powerless against Trevor.Now that Trevor was here, as the host, Ivan had no choice bu

    Wynn didn't panic at all when she heard that Trevor was at the Rodriguez family's party.After all, Martha had such a close relationship with Betty. She'd definitely let Trevor attend Betty's 70th birthday on her behalf since she couldn't make it herself.Wynn had known this long ago. Still, she was a little upset even though Trevor was there because of Martha's order. When the crowd found out that Trevor went to the Rodriguez family's party instead of coming here, they assumed something had happened between Wynn and Trevor. Wynn remarked in a cold voice, "Madam Daniels and Madam Klein have a good relationship, and Trevor was only there as instructed by Madam Daniels."There had been rumors that the Rodriguez family and the Fleming family were on good terms.But people hadn't seen them interacting with each other before, so they only took it as a rumor.Perhaps it was true then, judging by what Wynn had said. At that moment, someone came in. They had a gift box in their

    "Yes."Linda scoffed. "That's so shameless of her!"Just talking about that made her upset. "Could it be that they have a great connection, which is why such a significant person is attending her birthday?""No," Wynn replied coldly. "They just barely know each other." From her perspective, Celeste got to know Zachary through Matthias. So, the reason why Zachary was there today was probably because of Matthias."Oh, okay," Linda said.Beck and Miles were sitting at the table beside Wynn's, right behind her.Initially, Beck was quietly enjoying his meal. He paused for a moment when he heard how Zachary was at Betty's birthday party. He asked, "The Rodriguez family's birthday party?"Miles then explained, "Oh, today's the birthday of Celeste's maternal grandmother. The parties for the Rodriguez family and the Shaw family are on the same day, and the guest lists coincide. Thus, most of the overlapping guests are attending this one because of Trevor and Wynn."Miles had no prio

    Celeste was sitting beside Zachary.He was still talking to Betty, and he hadn't spared her a glance yet. Celeste turned a little to Matthias. "Thank you, Matthias."She could tell that Betty was in a much better mood after Zachary came. "There's no need to thank me." Matthias shrugged. "Mr. Newman just happened to reply to me regarding the project you came up with not long ago. Then I told him about this, and he came. So, really, you should be thanking yourself."As Celeste was about to speak, she heard someone mention Trevor's name. Hesitating for a moment, she turned around, only to see Trevor at the entrance. With all eyes on him, he approached Betty with steady steps. "Happy birthday."Then, he handed the gift box to her and said, "Just in case the first gift wasn't to your taste, I brought another. I hope you like it."Betty didn't realize Trevor would attend at all. Yet his arrival didn't bring joy to her.Sure, the Shaws were shameless, but without his support,

    With that, Matthias interrupted, "Can we hold off for a bit, Mr. Rodriguez? There's someone else coming, and they should be here in ten minutes."Ivan was well aware of how Matthias and Celeste were connected.Matthias had always taken care of Celeste as well. Hence, Betty and Ivan were pretty grateful to him. Upon hearing what Matthias had just said, Ivan asked, "Is he by himself? We still have empty seats at the main table if he doesn't mind joining us.""He's totally okay with it," Matthias replied. "Okay."Ivan nodded and instructed the staff to serve the other tables first, while their dishes would be served later. As the first few dishes arrived, Matthias glanced at his phone. Then, he pulled Celeste aside and said, "The person is here. I'll go get them."Celeste nodded. The moment she turned around, she heard a familiar yet icy voice. "No need, I'm here already."Celeste was stunned. She immediately turned around. "Mr. Newman?"Zachary hummed a reply.The remaini

    Just then, Beck and Miles arrived. The moment the Shaws and Lockets noticed the two, they went up to them.After all, these two were anything but ordinary in Baumond. It was only natural that they held the two in high regard. Linda had already met Beck before. The moment she laid eyes on him again today, a blush crept onto her face, barely concealed by her makeup.Ruby laughed, seeing Linda's reaction. The Harpers were just as distinguished as the Flemings, and with Beck's remarkable qualities, the Shaws were more than happy to see Linda take an interest in him.With Wynn and Trevor a certainty, and now Linda and Beck potentially forming a match, the Shaws would definitely hold undeniable power in Baumond in the future. With that in mind, the Shaws showed even greater enthusiasm when talking to Beck and Miler.Wynn furrowed her brows when she noticed the Shaws' attitude toward the two men. She thought they were being too sycophantic.As friends, Wynn and Beck were e

    Seeing the endless stream of arriving guests, Patricia and Mason were all smiles.It was just as what the Rodriguez family thought, they did remember Betty's birthday. No, in fact, after so many years of celebrating Betty's birthday, forgetting it was simply out of the question. Thus, it was no coincidence that they held their housewarming party today. They couldn't help but fume, thinking back to how they had planned to move across from the Rodriguez family, only for Celeste to interfere and enlist Trevor's help, throwing their plans into disarray. But Trevor later made up for it, and ironically, they ended up better off because of it. It made them even more delighted, thinking about how they had scheduled their housewarming party to clash with the Rodriguez family's event and successfully diverted their guests. "Their party must be nearly empty now, huh?" Linda stifled a quiet laugh. "They couldn't even keep their guests after all that effort. It's just humiliating at th
