Chapter 464
Celeste left the company and returned to the Rodriguez residence, but Jordyn wasn’t around.
She had apparently gone to accompany Trevor.
Martha’s condition was worrying, and Celeste couldn’t rest easy.
For the next few days, she visited the hospital every morning to check on her. Sometimes Trevor was there, and sometimes it was Queenie and Teagan.
Queenie didn’t like the idea of Celeste being her daughter–in–law, but since Celeste came to visit Martha, Queenie still thanked her politely. (1
Teagan also wasn’t fond of Celeste, but since Celeste and Trevor were going to get divorced, she felt there was no point saying anything anymore. So, during their recent encounters, she refrained from making snide remarks.
That day, when Celeste came to the hospital in the morning, the three siblings–Teagan, Trevor, and Tucker- were all there, along with Queenie.
After checking on Martha, Celeste was about to leave when Trevor stood up and said, “I’ll walk you out.”
“It’s okay.” She refused flatly and left without even looking back. (1
Seeing this, Trevor didn’t insist.
Teagan had been away from Baumond recently and, in fact, hadn’t seen Celeste for quite a while before Martha’s incident.
Watching Celeste leave without even a backward glance and showing no trace of the affection she once had for Trevor, Teagan commented, “Looks like she’s really let you go.” (1)
Trevor gave a faint smile and was about to respond when his phone rang. (4)
On the other side, Celeste went straight to Fleming Group after leaving the hospital.
Around noon, she and a few staff members were preparing to head out for lunch. As the elevator doors opened on the ground floor, they ran into Wynn, who was just walking toward the elevator.
Although Wynn didn’t visit Fleming Group frequently, she had been there enough times that many people recognized her.
And just about everyone knew she was Trevor’s girlfriend.
Seeing her, the staff greeted her politely out of respect for her status. “Ms. Locket.”
Wynn didn’t expect to run into Celeste.
When she saw her, she instinctively paused, then looked away while clutching her handbag. 3
As everyone greeted her warmly, she responded with a polite smile and nod before walking past Celeste and into the elevator.
Moments later, she reached the top floor. Zeke and Jacob greeted her courteously. “Ms. Locket.”
She smiled politely and nodded in return.
She knocked before entering Trevor’s office. Seeing him at his desk, still buried in work, she showed a genuine

smile. “Still not done?”
Trevor looked up. “Not yet.”

Though he had returned to Baumond for several days already, this was actually his first day back at Fleming Group -he’d been busy with other matters.
Wynn smiled and walked over. She noticed he was holding what looked like an invitation and leaned closer, curious. “What’s that?”
Trevor replied, “It’s the invitation to YodaVision’s 10th anniversary celebration. It was delivered a few days ago–I just got the chance to look at it now.”
Wynn’s smile froze instantly. T
Trevor noticed and looked up. “What’s wrong?”
Wynn quickly forced a smile and gave a dry laugh. “YodaVision… It’s already been ten years since it was founded?”
Trevor smiled. “Yeah.”
Wynn looked at him, tightening her grip on her purse. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Are you going to attend?”
Trevor replied, “Yes. With the current partnership between our company and YodaVision, even if I didn’t have time, I’d make time to go.” (14
Wynn gave an awkward laugh. “I see…” 7
