Celeste’s car was still at the restaurant from the night before. After breakfast, she got into Trevor’s car, and the two of them sent Jordyn to school together.
After watching Jordyn enter the school. Trevor turned to Celeste. “Should I drop you off at your company?”
Celeste declined calmly. “No need. I’ll take a taxi.” 1
Trevor nodded without insisting. “Stay safe.”
With that, he gave her a brief nod, then turned and got into his car, heading back to Fleming Group directly.
He spent the morning at the company handling work. At noon, he had a business lunch.
As he went downstairs with Jacob and the others, they spotted Wynn waiting by the parking area at the entrance.
Both Trevor and Jacob paused.
Jacob was well aware that the relationship between Trevor and Wynn had become strained. He also knew that Wynn had come by the company several times before without managing to see Trevor.
But she hadn’t appeared for nearly half a month now. So, her sudden reappearance today…
Jacob glanced at Trevor.
At that time, Wynn walked over to Trevor with a smile. “Am I disturbing you?”
“No,” Trevor replied.
Wynn smiled and followed him into his car.
Watching them sit together in the back seat, Jacob let out a quiet sigh of relief. He thought that in the end, Trevor still had feelings for Wynn.
The partition between the front and back seats slowly rose, soon blocking off Jacob–the ever–observant driver–from their
view.
As the car merged into traffic, Wynn looked at Trevor. “It’s been a while since we had a proper meal together. I just wanted to
come see you.”
Trevor gave a soft hum as a reply and asked, “How’s your company doing?”
Hearing him take the initiative to ask about her company, Wynn felt her mood lift, and she began chatting with him about work.
The restaurant wasn’t far. They arrived in just about ten minutes.
Trevor had brought Wynn along to similar gatherings before. This time, he was meeting a few company executives and business partners, but it wasn’t anything serious–just a casual meal.
So, no one was surprised to see Wynn with him.
Trevor still had a meeting scheduled for the afternoon. So, after finishing the meal, he prepared to leave first, while the others planned to stay a little longer.
As they walked downstairs and reached the entrance of the restaurant, Wynn’s expression suddenly changed. She abruptly shoved Trevor. “Watch out!”
Trevor reacted at the same time, pushing her away as well.
At that instant, a loud bang rang out–a falling air–conditioning unit crashed down, shattering on impact.

Because of Wynn’s push, Trevor wasn’t injured. Although he had also pushed her, Wynn’s shoulder still took a heavy hit. She fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
“Ms. Locket!” Jacob shouted.
The others were startled as well. “Get her to the hospital, quickly!”
Very soon, Trevor carried Wynn into the car and rushed straight to the hospital.
Not long after receiving the news, members of the Lockets and the Shaws arrived at the hospital with worried expressions.
Wynn’s shoulder wound was deep. Though her life wasn’t in danger, the doctor said she would need to be hospitalized for a period of time for recovery.
A while later, Beck and Miles also arrived at the hospital with flowers and fruit baskets.
By then, Wynn had already regained consciousness.
They all knew she had saved Trevor. (5)
Miles looked at her, his eyes filled with gratitude and concern. “How are you feeling? Are you alright?” 10
