Chapter 141

Celeste knew that smile of his was a subtle jab at Jorge and nodded. "Mm."Wynn noticed that Matthias was genuinely good to Celeste and frowned.Although Jorge and the others had said they were busy and couldn't join the dinner, their work there was already done, so they headed downstairs with Celeste and Matthias, preparing to leave InnovaTech.At that moment, Wynn received a phone call. After hanging up, she said, "Trevor is almost here too. I'll leave with you."By the time they reached the ground floor, Trevor was already waiting outside.When he saw them, he got out of the car and greeted both Jorge and Matthias. He also glanced at Celeste but didn't say anything to her.Meanwhile, Wynn had already moved to stand beside him the moment he stepped out of the car. Seeing them together, they truly looked like the perfect couple.As Jorge exchanged pleasantries with Trevor, Matthias smirked slightly and said in a detached tone, "Mr. Fleming, we have dinner plans, so we'll be hea

Celeste paused and asked her, "When do you want to go?""Um…" Jordyn hesitated.Celeste knew she was waiting for a time when Wynn and Trevor weren't available so she could ask her instead. But she had no way of knowing when they'd be busy, which was why she was hesitating.Celeste withdrew her gaze and said, "It's okay. Just tell me when you want to go, and if I'm free, I'll take you."Jordyn beamed. "Okay!"Celeste was busy with work for the rest of the week.On Friday evening, she finished work early. Just as she got home and was about to make something to eat, her phone rang—it was Jordyn calling. She hesitated for a moment before answering."Mom, I'm free on Saturday! Let's go skiing!"Celeste had promised that Jordyn could let her know when she wanted to go skiing. But she didn't plan on taking her tomorrow.Her schedule for the day was essentially half a social obligation, and she didn't want to be distracted by taking care of her.So, she said, "I'm not free tomorrow.

Worried that they might get bumped into by other people, Beck stayed close to them so he could protect them.However, the crowd was just too large today.They had only been skiing for a little over an hour when two girls accidentally bumped into them.Shanice was fine, but Celeste ended up crashing directly into Beck.He instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her securely into his embrace.Pressed against his broad chest, Celeste froze for a moment and immediately felt uncomfortable. She tried to push him away, only to realize that her foot hurt.Beck didn't let go. "Did you twist your ankle?""I think… yeah."He called over a staff member to help Shanice and then bent down and picked Celeste up.She had assumed he would let the staff assist her. So, being suddenly lifted into his arms, she was caught off guard and instinctively resisted. "Put me down, I—"Beck interrupted, "The doctor is already waiting. Let's take care of your foot first."Celeste hesitate

Celeste drove off after the meal with Beck and Shanice. On the way home, she received a call from Lottie."Cel, where are you? I'm exhausted! Hurry up and come pick me up for dinner."Celeste didn't mention that she had already eaten. "Where are you?""Yorkshire Garden," Lottie said. "It's that classical courtyard-style residential complex developed a few years ago. I've been here all morning with my aunt, looking at houses. I'm dead tired.""Okay."After hanging up, Celeste adjusted her GPS and headed toward Yorkshire Garden.About ten minutes later, Lottie called again. "Damn! Guess who I just ran into?"Celeste paused. Lately, there was only one person who could make Lottie curse right off the bat."Trevor and Wynn with her whole family! He's here showing the Locket family around!"Staring straight ahead, Celeste's expression remained unchanged as she let out a neutral hum.Most of the time, when Trevor and Wynn went out, they would bring Jordyn along. So, the reason he ha

When Celeste came out of the restroom, ten minutes had already passed.After having dinner with Lottie, she suddenly felt the urge to visit the nursing home.But remembering Isabelle's condition and the director's instructions that she shouldn't see familiar people, she hesitated.She had already driven to the entrance of the nursing home, but in the end, she didn't go inside and just drove back home.Once she got home, she locked herself in her room and focused on her work. She wasn't sure how much time had passed when her phone rang.It was a call from Trevor.Celeste glanced at the screen, noted down the data she was working on, and ignored the call.The call naturally disconnected. However, a few minutes later, he called again.She still didn't answer.Shortly after, a message from Trevor came through: "Grandma wants us to go back to Fleming Manor for dinner."Celeste didn't reply.On the other side, Trevor saw that she hadn't responded and silently stared at his phone f

After hanging up, Celeste went back to work.After a full mental workout, she was already feeling much better.At that moment, Matthias called. "Wanna hang out?"Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the bar.Matthias came out to meet her and asked, "Want a drink?"Celeste hesitated for a second before saying, "Yeah, a little."Matthias leaned in to take a closer look at her. "Not in a good mood?""I'm much better now."Matthias didn't press further and ordered her a low alcohol cocktail.Celeste held the glass, taking small sips while listening to Matthias chat with his friends. Neither of them noticed that someone upstairs at the bar counter was watching them.Xavier commented, "So, it's her and Matthias."The man next to him followed his gaze. Seeing Celeste, he paused.Xavier noticed and smirked. "Is she your type?"His friend didn't answer but asked, "You know her?""Yeah," Xavier replied. "She's the woman I told you about the other day—the one Jorge was into at fir

Of course, that was just a joke. There was no way Matthias would actually let Celeste pay.Besides, he was also worried that Zachary might find out he had taken Celeste out drinking at a bar. So, after settling the bill at the counter, he left with her.The next day at noon, Celeste drove to Zachary's villa to pick him up.Once Zachary got in the car, she asked, "Mr. Newman, where are we going?"Zachary gave her an address.Half an hour later, they arrived at a restaurant. A waiter led them to a private dining room.When they pushed the door open, two men were already seated inside. Both were middle-aged men with imposing presences.Seeing them enter, the two men stood up. "You're here."Zachary, as indifferent as ever, introduced them, "Theodore Robinson, Harold Jennings. My student, Celeste Rodriguez."Celeste had seen them in the news before. One held a high-ranking position in the military, while the other was a major figure in politics.But despite their status, their de

After lunch, as soon as Celeste got home, Matthias called.After hearing why Zachary had asked to see her, he said, "Theodore and Harold? Yeah, I know them."Then he added, "By the way, that Jorge is actually Theodore's son. Tsk, with a father that impressive, I really don't get how the son ended up being blind at such a young age."Celeste didn't expect Jorge to be Theodore's son. But it didn't concern her.…On Tuesday, InnovaTech conducted the initial test of its self-driving car.Celeste and Matthias went over to InnovaTech early in the morning. By the time they got there, Jorge, Xavier, and the others had already arrived.When they saw Celeste and Matthias, they glanced over briefly before looking away.Matthias didn't care to acknowledge them either and pulled Celeste along to focus on the test preparations.Seeing that everything was set up, but the test hadn't started yet, Matthias asked, "Why hasn't it begun?"Henry replied, "Mr. Fleming is coming to observe the test

Wynn didn't even spare Celeste a glance. Clearly, Celeste wasn't included in her apology.Jorge wasn't paying attention to Celeste at all, so he naturally didn't notice these details. He simply said, "It was just a few minutes, it's fine.""How generous of you, Mr. Robinson," Matthias stood up, his tone chilly. "Now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more of our time. Let's get started."Trevor maintained his politeness. "That was our mistake, Mr. Yoder. Please, go ahead."Matthias let out a cold huff, grabbed Celeste, and walked out of the meeting room first.Trevor saw how closely Matthias held onto Celeste, but he quickly looked away, showing no reaction, as if he didn't care.However, Beck glanced at them a couple more times.Among the group, Trevor and Wynn were undoubtedly the center of attention.When they arrived at the test track, the staff respectfully reported, "Mr. Fleming, Ms. Locket, everything is ready."The way they acted made it clear they regarded Wynn

As they left InnovaTech and got into the car, Matthias was still fuming.Something suddenly occurred to him, and he turned to Celeste. "By the way, who was that woman in the business suit standing behind Wynn? She looked at you strangely. Do you two know each other?"Celeste replied, "Wynn's cousin.""So, it's already bad enough that Trevor brought Wynn into InnovaTech, but he actually took in her family too? At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if InnovaTech changes its name to Locket in a few months."Celeste felt the same way. But she simply hummed a response.Given how much Trevor adored Wynn, she wouldn't even be surprised if he handed InnovaTech over to her entirely. Letting the Shaw family work at InnovaTech was nothing.Matthias decided to stop talking about it before he got even more frustrated.That night, Celeste and Matthias stayed out late, working on replicating the engine specs of Trevor's self-driving car.On the way home, snow began to fall.When they arrived
