Chapter 351

Beck came back to his senses, looked at Celeste with a smile, and shook his head. "It's nothing."After finishing the business discussion with Beck that afternoon, Matthias called Celeste.Matthias said, "I just got word from the lawyer—Wynn still refuses to terminate the contract. She's willing to pay a substantial compensation fee for damage to our reputation, but I didn't agree. "Since negotiations failed, I've asked the lawyer to proceed with legal action."Celeste replied, "Alright, got it."After that, Matthias added, "Trevor is coming to the company tomorrow to discuss some matters. Joseph can handle the first part of the meeting, but there's one document that needs your confirmation, so—"In other words, she would have to meet with Trevor tomorrow.Celeste understood what he meant and said, "Alright, understood."…The next day, Trevor and Jacob arrived at YodaVision in the afternoon.As Matthias had said, Joseph was the one who received them initially.

As soon as Celeste returned to her office, her phone rang.It was a call from Jordyn.Thinking back to what Trevor had said in the conference room—about having dinner and bringing Jordyn along—she looked at the call and didn't answer it.Jordyn called her three times in a row. When none of the calls were answered, she sent a message a moment later."Mom, I have a fencing competition next month. Can you come with me to training tomorrow?"When Celeste saw the message, her hand holding the phone suddenly froze.Ever since Trevor had taken Jordyn to Andostan over two years ago, she had missed out on many aspects of Jordyn's life.For instance, she didn't really know what classes Trevor had arranged for Jordyn, or what extracurricular activities she'd been enrolled in during those two years.Before she had brought up the idea of divorce, Celeste had tried to ask Jordyn about these things, but Jordyn didn't want to talk to her.If Jordyn hadn't mentioned it just now, she wouldn't e

After finishing the call with Jordyn, Celeste hung up. About ten minutes later, Trevor sent her the time and location for Jordyn's fencing training the next day.But that was all he sent—just the time and address. Nothing else. Not a single extra word.…The next day, Celeste was the first to arrive at the fencing gym. Around three to four minutes later, Jordyn arrived too.She was only accompanied by the driver. Trevor wasn't there. As soon as she got out of the car, Jordyn happily grabbed Celeste's hand and led her inside.Just as they entered the gym, Celeste's phone rang—it was a call from Matthias.She turned to Jordyn and said, "I need to take a call."Jordyn replied, "Okay, then I'll go find my coach first.""Mm."Matthias was just asking her a few work-related things. After chatting briefly, they ended the call.Jordyn hadn't gone far.Her coach greeted her with a smile, "Hey, Jordyn, you're here?" Then he looked around and asked, "Ms. Locket and Mr. Fleming didn't

Although the coach didn't say it outright, Celeste could guess what he meant.In fact, even if he didn't mention it, she could already tell that the reason Jordyn took up fencing was likely due to the influence of either Trevor or Wynn.But she didn't dwell on it too much.Although she had given up custody of Jordyn and wouldn't involve herself much in her future, Jordyn was still her daughter—her flesh and blood. Even if they grew further and further apart over time, she still hoped Jordyn would have a bright future.As long as fencing was good for her, that was enough. As for who inspired her to take it up, it didn't matter.Celeste didn't keep her eyes on Jordyn the whole time during training.As Jordyn's training was about to wrap up, Celeste was looking something up on her phone when someone suddenly appeared beside her.She paused, then looked up—sure enough, it was Trevor, his deep eyes fixed on her. She only glanced at him briefly before looking away.Trevor asked, "Wha

In Jordyn's world, there was no room for her, Trevor, and Wynn to coexist.She had asked Celeste to go to her competition without the intention of inviting Wynn, which made it clear that she understood the reality of the situation.On a day that mattered to her, Jordyn chose her. But Celeste didn't feel much joy about that.The competition was scheduled for next weekend. Normally, Celeste was free on weekends. Besides, when a child participated in a competition, that was considered a big deal in any family. As a parent, it'd only be natural to prioritize the child.In the past, Celeste would have done just that—put Jordyn first. Everything else would've had to take a backseat. But now…It wasn't like she didn't notice the hope in Jordyn's eyes. Even so, she replied vaguely, "I'll see when the time comes. If nothing urgent comes up, I'll attend."In the past six months, Jordyn had made so many calls to Celeste and voiced so many wishes that she had already figured out a pattern.

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

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

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
