Trevor’s gaze lingered on Celeste for two to three seconds before moving away.
So, while he appeared to be engaged in serious conversation with others, Jorge noticed that in reality, his eyes
were on Celeste. 2
When Celeste and Matthias finished chatting with someone and walked away, Trevor would occasionally search
for Celeste’s figure again.
Meanwhile, Celeste was fully focused on assisting Matthias in greeting guests. She didn’t notice Trevor’s
attention on her at all.
Seeing this, a wave of anger surged in Jorge’s chest. 2
When Trevor withdrew his gaze and turned his head, he happened to meet Jorge’s eyes. He gave Jorge a polite
smile and a nod. 1
Jorge’s expression was dark, and the people around him noticed. “Jorge, what’s wrong?” someone asked.
Jorge calmed himself, suppressing the fury inside. “Nothing,” he replied.
As for Trevor, Jorge simply returned a slight nod in response.
Jorge wanted to stand up for Wynn, but he had no grounds to do so. 2
So, even though he felt sorry for her, he could only remain silent–just like when he had noticed the ambiguous
tension between Trevor and Celeste earlier. 2
But if Trevor really went too far- 3
Jorge’s expression grew heavier as his gaze shifted to Wynn.
Wynn was smiling at that moment, as if she hadn’t noticed Trevor’s thoughts at all.
But, how could that be possible?
Wynn was more sensitive to every move between Trevor and Celeste than he was. So, not only had she noticed Trevor’s attention, but she’d seen it more clearly than Jorge,
Her hand tightened around her wine glass, her mechanical smile barely holding together. 3

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

After taking the call, her expression changed slightly. She said, “Okay, I understand. I’ll head over right away.”
Her words pulled Trevor’s attention. After she hung up, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“My grandmother was hit while taking a walk in the neighborhood. She fell and was injured. They’re sending
her to the hospital now. I’m worried, so I want to go check on her.”
Trevor said, “I’ll go with you.” 6
Hearing this, Wynn froze for a moment, her nose suddenly stinging with emotion. She had thought Trevor
would be unwilling to leave the banquet and wouldn’t go with her to the hospital. 2
Then Trevor added, “Let’s go bid farewell to Mr. Yoder first.
“…Alright.”
When they walked over, Celeste and Matthias were in the middle of chatting with Victor Fisher, Harold, and
several other prominent figures.
Wynn had often attended banquets with Trevor before. She was no stranger to the feeling of standing among
such important people.
But on such occasions, aside from the initial pleasantries, she had never had the standing to join their
conversations–much less become the central figure of them. 3
Now, however, when she followed Trevor over, she saw Celeste standing there with ease, chatting and laughing.
2
Victor and the other business magnates openly showed their appreciation for her. Harold, an influential
political figure, looked at Celeste with an almost paternal fondness. 3
Seeing this scene, Wynn suddenly felt that Celeste stood on equal footing with Victor, Harold, and the other
heavyweights. 4
She wasn’t a mere ornamental figure like Wynn had been at Trevor’s side. 3
Half of YodaVision belonged to Celeste. 3
And with her current status, even if she wasn’t fully on par with Victor and Harold yet, she already had earned
the right to sit at the table with them and discuss real business. 16
