Chapter 592
Wynn had actually known about the diamond for a long time.
Yet she had never mentioned it to the family.
If she didn’t bring it up, was it really, as Linda said, because she hadn’t taken it to heart?
If Wynn had asked Trevor about it after learning and confirmed that there was a valid reason behind his giving Celeste the diamond, then there truly would have been no need to dwell on it. 4
In that case, it would make sense that she hadn’t proactively told them about it.
But that diamond was worth over four billion dollars. It was worth more than everything InnovaTech and Trevor had ever given Wynn combined. 6
Knowing full well how much everyone cared about where that diamond had gone, yet staying completely silent after finding out it had been given to someone else–no matter how one looked at it, that was hard to justify. 2
If Wynn believed her relationship with Trevor was solid enough and that she was confident that after they married, she would receive even more, to the point where a single diamond didn’t matter, then not mentioning it could be understandable. 1
But if her silence was deliberate concealment…
Ruby had thought of this as well.
Seeing that the others‘ expressions didn’t look good, she quickly said, “I still think Trevor and Wynn’s relationship is very good. Let’s not overthink it. Besides, if there’s anything we want to know, we can just ask Wynn directly when she comes back, can’t we?” 1
Linda immediately chimed in, “That’s right, once Wynn comes back—”
Before she could finish, Wynn happened to push the door open and walk in.
Everyone turned to look at her at the same time.
Lilian looked at her, a flicker passing through her eyes. She was the first to stand up and said gently, “Wynn, you’re back? Are you hungry? The kitchen…”
Almost at the same time, Linda blurted out, “Wynn, I just told everyone about how Trev gave that four–billion- dollar diamond to Celeste.”
Wynn’s steps abruptly halted. 2
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and her emotions didn’t show too clearly.
She gave a calm hum as acknowledgement.
Looking at Wynn, everyone suddenly didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
Still, given how serious the matter was, Ruby couldn’t hold back. With an awkward smile, she said, “When Linda mentioned it just now, we didn’t really believe it. So… What she said was true?” (1

Before Wynn could respond, she continued, “That diamond was so expensive! How could Trevor just give it to Celeste? What did Trevor say about it?”
Wynn lowered her gaze and didn’t answer.
Lilian glanced at Ruby and said, “Alright, Ruby. Let Wynn rest first and have some water.”
“Oh, right, right,” Ruby hurriedly said.
But at that moment, Wynn spoke up, “I didn’t ask Trevor about it. And Trevor didn’t take the initiative to tell me either.” 3
Lennox and Patricia were both shrewd people.
In fact, the moment Wynn hadn’t answered right away after coming in, they already had a vague sense of what was going on.
Even so, hearing Wynn admit it herself still stunned them. They stared at her in disbelief.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Because that sentence was an admission that Wynn had likely already noticed that Trevor’s attitude toward Celeste had changed and that in the face of this change, she was…
Noticing everyone’s gaze, Wynn said nothing.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to keep hiding it. Rather, she knew exactly how sharp her family was when it came to such matters. 2
And more than that, she knew that once the seed of suspicion had been planted, given Trevor’s current initiative toward Celeste and his repeated avoidance of the divorce, even if she wanted to hide it, she wouldn’t be able to for much longer. 3
