Matthias paused. "What? This is such a coincidence."

Trevor replied calmly, "It is."

Matthias said, "There are a lot of us. Mr. Fleming, why don't you take the elevator first? We'll wait for the next one."

"Sure. See you next time."

"See you."

The elevator doors closed, leaving Celeste, Matthias, and the others to wait for the next one.

When the elevator arrived, Celeste's phone rang as they stepped inside. It was Jordyn calling.

After excusing herself from the others, Celeste answered, "Hello?"

"Mom, are you off work? When are you coming home?"

Ever since Celeste injured her ankle, Jordyn had been calling her daily to check in. When she heard yesterday that Celeste's ankle had healed, she had asked when Celeste would be coming home.

Celeste had been too busy with work to promise anything yesterday. Now, hearing Jordyn's question again, she said, "I just finished up. I'll be home soon."

By the time she ended the call, the elevator had reached the ground floor.

    Celeste agreed to it. Jordyn then asked Celeste to send her to school tomorrow. Celeste promised she would too. She hadn't seen Jordyn for almost ten days since visiting the hot spring retreat. Thus, she stayed at the villa that night. But she didn't sleep in the master bedroom. Instead, she wanted to stay in the same room as Jordyn. The last time Celeste stayed with Jordyn was when Jordyn was sick. However, Jordyn wasn't sick this time, and she didn't even ask Celeste to stay with her to sleep. Jordyn noticed Celeste was showering in her bathroom. The latter seemed like she wanted to stay here for the night. Jordyn found it odd that Celeste chose not to sleep in the room she shared with Trevor. She actually liked sleeping with Celeste as it felt cozy and warm to cuddle up with her. So, Jordyn didn't voice her question. Since Celeste was staying with her for the night, Jordyn had to be more careful when she said goodnight to Wynn. She didn't want Celeste to fin

    "Shanice."Beck walked over to Celeste and took the little girl from her. Just then, Beck noticed how Shanice was completely soaked. He paused for a moment. Staring at Celeste, he asked, "How did she…"Celeste didn't know that this little girl was actually his niece as well. She explained, "She fell into the pool, and I pulled her out.""Thank you," Beck responded. "You're welcome," said Celeste. "Please help her change into dry clothes, in case she catches a cold."Beck nodded in agreement. He looked at Celeste and wanted to say something, but his niece's cries interrupted him. Shanice kept sobbing as if she was scared out of her wits. Thus, Beck comforted her and walked into the elevator after giving Celeste a quick nod. Celeste went back to the pool afterward. After soaking in the hot spring, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went to the buffet area. Before she could finish her meal, Beck appeared in front of her. He was holding Shanice's hand. "Mind if

    However, when Matthias saw how Celeste greeted the man, he felt that they seemed to know each other. "He's Beck Harper.""Beck?" Matthias was surprised. "Aren't you two not that close? How did you both end up at the same table?""His niece fell into the pool just now and I saved her, and he brought his niece over to thank me."Matthias nodded. "I see."Celeste told Beck that she was with her colleagues. Thus, Beck assumed the person who had greeted her earlier was just one of her colleagues, so he didn't turn around to check. After Celeste and Matthias walked a little further away, Beck turned around, only to see a tall young man walking beside Celeste. From the way he looked from behind, he seemed like a good match for Celeste. Beck could tell that they had a good relationship as they were walking closely to each other. "Uncle Beck…"Upon hearing Shanice's voice, Beck came back to his senses. "Are you done eating? Let's head back to our room then.""Okay," Shanice repl

    Feeling embarrassed, Celeste's face flushed immediately. She adjusted the collar that Shanice had tugged. Beck's expression darkened in that instant. After he snapped back to his senses, he turned around and shifted his gaze. The nanny, who had been standing aside, was mortified as well. Luckily, they were the only ones there; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward. The nanny quickly helped Celeste adjust her clothes. Celeste was reserved, and she had never revealed so much of her body to any man other than Trevor. What made it worse was that the man before her was Trevor's good friend. That made her especially uncomfortable. After adjusting her clothes, she uttered in an unnatural tone, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."Only then did Beck turn around and face Celeste. "I'm sorry."Shanice knew she had done something wrong and thought she had upset Celeste. She looked at Celeste with teary eyes and softly apologized, "Ms. Rodriguez, I'm sorry…"

    20 minutes later, Trevor came back with Jordyn. Martha's gaze went past Trevor and fixated on Jordyn. Grinning, she waved at Jordyn. "You're back, Jo!""Hi, Nana." Jordyn ran toward Martha. After Martha had hugged and ruffled her hair, Jordyn finally walked over to Celeste. "Hi, Mom."Celeste hummed a reply. When she was hugging Jordyn, she noticed the faint scent of Wynn's perfume on Jordyn's clothes. She didn't mention anything about it. Instead, she only lightly pushed Jordyn away. Trevor sat beside Martha and placed a box before her. "This is a token of apology."It was a pack of Coffea Arábica that Martha liked a lot. Besides, it was rare on the market, and hard to get even for a high price. Martha knew that Trevor was apologizing for not showing up at the hot spring retreat previously. She let out a huff. "You've got me covered, but what about Cel? Did you get her anything as an apology?"Trevor remained silent while glancing at Celeste.It was just a quick look. I

    Celeste bathed Jordyn and blow-dried her hair.Jordyn was quietly looking at Celeste, who was blow-drying her hair. She suddenly realized Celeste wasn't as talkative as before.Back then, Celeste would keep the conversation going with various topics. Celeste noticed how Jordyn was gazing at her. It looked as if Jordyn was lost in thought. Celeste asked, "What's wrong?"Jordyn shook her head. "Nothing."She must be overthinking. Or perhaps, Celeste wasn't in the mood to talk.After her hair was dried, Jordyn rolled on the bed. "Mom, are you staying with me for the night?"Celeste paused for a moment before answering, "Do you want me to stay with you, Jo?""I'm okay with it! But Mom, you haven't been with Dad much lately. Don't you want to sleep with Dad?""Right. I'll go back to my room later on."Celeste and Trevor still hadn't completed their divorce paperwork. If Jordyn didn't ask her to stay and she insisted on it, it would cause a huge fuss once Martha knew about it.

    Trevor's words were definitely not meant for Celeste. For all these years they were married, Trevor had never once hugged her in his sleep, let alone given her a morning kiss.Thus, Celeste was certain that Trevor had mistaken her for Wynn. She pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.Trevor was still asleep.Staring at Trevor, Celeste swallowed the bitterness welling up inside her. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Trevor. She was trying to escape his embrace. With how tightly they were pressed together, her slightest movement was bound to disrupt his sleep.Then, it was just as expected—as she removed Trevor's hand from her waist and sat up, Trevor opened his eyes. She was about to pull her legs back.Their eyes met at that exact moment.Trevor woke up completely. Once he grasped the circumstances and realized he had hugged the wrong person, he paused for a brief moment and shifted so his legs were not entwined with hers anymore.Celest

    "Grandma," Celeste interrupted Martha. Then, she continued calmly, "It's okay. I'll go back with Jo if Trevor's busy.""But…"Celeste didn't want to force Trevor into anything because she no longer cared about it. However, Martha misunderstood Celeste. She thought Celeste said that because the latter didn't want to put Trevor in a tough spot. Seeing how considerate Celeste still was toward Trevor, Martha felt a pang of sympathy and frustration.And so it was decided.After they finished their breakfast, Celeste chatted with Martha for a while and got ready to leave. Martha prepared a bunch of gifts for her good friend, Betty, and asked Celeste to deliver them to her.Celeste couldn't refuse them, and she ended up bringing them all. Trevor hadn't gone out yet, so he and Martha went to send Celeste and Jordyn off. Jordyn went up to Trevor and hugged his leg. "Will you come home tonight, Dad?"Trevor gently ruffled her hair. "Yes, I will."There was zero communication bet

    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
