Chapter 693
Not wanting to dampen everyone’s mood, Martha quickly changed the subject.
The Rodriguez family cooperated and followed along.
After that, the outing went on quite pleasantly.
But on the way home after dinner, Betty fell silent. After a long while, she suddenly asked Celeste, “What happened to them?”
Celeste didn’t tell them anything before, so the rest of the family didn’t know the exact situation between Trevor and Wynn.
But they were aware that Wynn had saved Trevor not long ago, and that soon after, he had gone with Celeste to file for divorce again.
Betty had known Martha for many years. So, seeing how upset she had been today, she could tell something major must have happened, and it angered her deeply.
Celeste paused before realizing what she meant. Then she said, “I heard Lincoln and Queenie had given their blessings. Trevor’s already brought her to meet them.”
Ivan and the others had already guessed that Trevor must have done something to upset Martha. But they didn’t expect it to be because of this.
At this pace, once Celeste’s mandatory waiting period is over, Trevor and Wynn would likely get married
very soon.
Betty had only assumed that Trevor had gone against Martha’s wishes and brought Wynn home to meet the elders. She didn’t expect things to progress even faster than that.
She froze for a moment and then sank into an even deeper silence.
Turning her face away, she looked out the window.
Celeste leaned toward her, about to speak, when she realized that her grandmother’s eyes had reddened,
Alarm shot through her. “Granny…”
“Why is the world so unfair?” Betty’s eyes were red, but her voice remained calm. 1
Celeste opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t find her words. She knew exactly what Betty meant.
The Shaw family had repaid her kindness with betrayal for the sake of a better life. Not only did Lilian steal her daughter’s husband, but she also hurt her daughter so deeply. U
Now, years later, not only had the heavens not punished the Lockets and Shaws, but Wynn-the daughter of the very person responsible-had effortlessly gained and taken away the happiness Celeste had once longed for.

Even Celeste’s daughter had grown closer to Wynn under the influence of Trevor.
And the Shaw family would not stop there.
If Wynn married Trevor, the Shaw family would surely find ways to continue suppressing the Rodriguez family.
Although Celeste was now capable and well-connected, and no longer someone the Shaw family could easily bully, the Fleming family had immense power.
With Jordyn under Trevor and Wynn’s influence, not only would the Rodriguez family never get their justice, but they would have to watch their enemies thrive.
So, how could Betty not feel suffocated by it all?
At that moment, Celeste’s eyes reddened too. A thought suddenly took shape in her mind-she would
not divorce Trevor. 15
If she went through with the divorce so readily, wouldn’t she simply be handing them what they wanted?
Betty was truly heartbroken. Her emotions had slipped out of control, and she couldn’t rein them in. But when she saw the redness in Celeste’s eyes and the trace of determination, she immediately understood
what Celeste was thinking.
She hated the Lockets and Shaws, but she also feared that if Celeste chose not to divorce Trevor, she might trap herself for life and never find happiness or freedom. 7
