Chapter 660
425 Bonus
Trevor and Beck hadn’t seen each other for quite some time. They rarely kept in touch, but once they started talking about their respective companies, the conversation flowed easily and pleasantly,
Jorge had no intention of becoming friends with them, nor did he want to waste energy on superficial socializing. After exchanging a few polite remarks, he found an excuse to step away.
From then on, his attention stayed fixed on Celeste and Matthias as they received guests,
He noticed that Matthias treated Celeste exactly the same as always. What was more, when the banquet was drawing to a close, Matthias even had Celeste personally see Trevor and Beck off.
So, Matthias hadn’t taken a single word of what he said that day to heart? He trusted Celeste that much?
Jorge’s expression darkened.
Celeste was unaware of what was going through Jorge’s mind.
She courteously escorted Trevor and Beck out of the banquet hall. “Thank you both very much for coming. If there was anything lacking in our reception, please forgive us.”
Beck smiled. “It’s okay. We understand.”
“Thank you for your understanding,” Celeste replied.
She then exchanged a few more polite words with Trevor, who responded just as courteously.
Watching their back–and–forth–both of them clearly treating each other as nothing more than ordinary business partners—
Beck glanced at Trevor.
Noticing his gaze, Trevor asked, “What is it?”
Beck was just about to say that he wanted to talk to him about his feelings toward Celeste. $3
But before he could speak, Trevor’s phone rang. 2
After taking the call, Trevor said, “I still have some things to deal with. Let’s get together another time when we’re free.”
“Alright,” Beck replied.
Trevor left in a hurry. Beck had rushed over tonight specifically because of Celeste, yet he hadn’t had much opportunity to talk to
her at all…
He stood there in silence for a moment, looking at Celeste, busy not far away, before finally turning and leaving.
Meanwhile, Jorge had originally intended to talk to Matthias again about Celeste and Trevor. But remembering how little Matthias had believed him, no matter how much he’d said before, he gave up.
Still…
If he happened to run into Trevor and Celeste together again next time, he would make sure to keep evidence.
At InnovaTech’s banquet, news traveled quickly among the upper circles.
Before long, word that Trevor had attended YodaVision’s banquet spread to InnovaTech’s event as well.
Naturally, the Lockets and the Shaws heard about it too.
Though their expressions weren’t great, they smiled in response to guests‘ inquiries and said, “Fleming Group is currently

working very closely with YodaVision, and the entire company places great importance on that partnership.
“Trevor mentioned earlier that after attending YodaVision’s banquet, he might not have time to come over here. He has many important matters to handle–we’ve always understood that.”
“I see…”
In the past, Trevor often brought Wynn with him to important occasions.
Now, he hadn’t even attended InnovaTech’s banquet in person, which led many to start speculating that there might be a change in his relationship with Wynn.
However, the explanation from the Lockets and the Shaws dispelled much of that doubt.
After all, the cooperation between Fleming Group and YodaVision really was crucial, and it made sense for Trevor to prioritize matters on YodaVision’s side.
Even so, after learning that Trevor likely wouldn’t be coming and with Jorge and Miles having already left early, many guests felt there was little point in staying.
One after another, they left ahead of time, so much so that with half an hour still remaining before the banquet was scheduled to end, the InnovaTech banquet hall was already nearly empty. 7
