Chapter 620
However, Wynn soon realized she had been overthinking things
Trevor’s attitude toward her was now worlds apart from how he had treated her in the past.
This time, instead of directly giving them money as he used to, he sent people to Locket Tech and InnovaTech to fully miderstand the situation, and then helped them secure technical partnerships and investment.
As for Trevor himself after that meal with her, he never appeared again.
Both Harvey and Wynn fell silent over this.
Even Linda could tell what this meant–Trevor no longer wanted to spend money on them.
She found the change hard to accept. “How can Trev be like this…
The others didn’t look good either.
They had never expected Trevor to handle things this way.
Seeing everyone’s gloomy expressions, Ruby forced a dry smile and hurried to say, “No matter what, Trevor still helped us, didn’t he? If it weren’t for him, we might not have been able to secure investment for these projects at all.”
That was true, but the way Trevor helped this time looked more like he had grown tired of Wynn’s persistence and had people deal with it perfunctorily. 5
Ruby knew it too. Compared with before, his attitude this time was indeed overly indifferent. 3)
Seeing that everyone still looked worried, she couldn’t help adding, “No matter what, at least Trevor hasn’t broken up with Wynn yet. I think there’s still a chance to turn things around. Don’t you think so, Wynn?”
Wynn lowered her gaze and said nothing.
To be honest, right now, she couldn’t see through Trevor at all.
She didn’t know what he was really thinking. 2
And the change in his attitude toward Celeste had started a long time ago–not just recently, as the others believed.
His feelings for Celeste were probably far deeper than they imagined.
In fact, Harvey and the others all knew that what Ruby said made sense.
But Trevor’s withdrawal was far too obvious. And now, his enthusiasm toward Celeste was unmistakable.
It looked as though he no longer had much love left for Wynn. He was simply constrained by past ties and found it difficult to initiate a breakup. 1
Last time, when Trevor was torn between her and Celeste, he had avoided dealing with the divorce by repeatedly going on
business trips.
Now, there were only a few days left in the mandatory waiting period for his divorce from Celeste.
If Trevor truly didn’t want to divorce Celeste, then when this mandatory waiting period ended, who knew…
Celeste knew nothing about the worries of the Lockets and the Shaws. 5
She had been genuinely busy lately. So busy that she had no time to think about anything else.
That day, she had just finished a pile of work and was finally about to take a short break when, right after a meeting ended, her phone buzzed.
Seeing the incoming call, she paused.
Matthias happened to walk up beside her. Seeing an unregistered amber on the screen, he didn’t think much of it and asked.
Who is it?”
Celeste didn’t answer and hung up the call.
Matthias immediately reacted. He stopped short, curled his lip slightly. “It’s him?”
Celeste nodded.
Matthias snorted. “Then there’s really no need to answer.”
Kieran was standing nearby. He hadn’t seen the number, but from their tone alone, he immediately had a guess.
He looked toward Celeste.
At that moment, her phone rang again.
Celeste picked it up and glanced at the screen.
It was still Trevor.
Only this time, it was a message.
“This concerns the cooperation with Quincy. Let’s talk.”
