This was something Ruby didn’t even need to spell out. Wynn and Lilian both understood it.
Linda, however, only realized what Ruby meant several seconds after she spoke.
For a moment, she became even angrier. “T–That’s impossible. It has to be just a coincidence.”
Ruby didn’t speak again right away, but she glanced in Wynn’s direction.
Previously, they had all believed that Trevor had deep feelings for Wynn. As long as she contacted him more, would definitely be able to reconcile with him.

But according to what Ruby knew, Wynn had already taken the initiative to contact Trevor over the past two days, yet Trevor had said he was busy and couldn’t get away…
He was too busy to see Wynn, but could make time to have dinner with Celeste…
That being the case, who mattered more to Trevor now, Celeste or Wynn, seemed painfully obvious.
Linda was angry and unwilling to believe it, but she had also thought of this.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she was to accept it.
She said urgently, “Trev wasn’t eating alone with that bitch. How do you know it wasn’t Jordyn who wanted to eat together, and he couldn’t refuse her, so he had to eat with Celeste? After all, we all know how much Trev dotes on Jordyn.”
That was indeed a possibility.
But what they feared was the opposite–that Trevor had used Jordyn as an excuse in order to see Celeste. 1
Lilian and Wynn still didn’t say anything.
Lilian’s gaze was deep and unreadable, as if she were thinking about something.
The next day, Celeste returned to work
as usual.
That evening, she attended a banquet with Matthias.
After entering the banquet hall and chatting briefly with the host, they spotted Wynn and the others.
However, Trevor was nowhere to be seen.
Celeste expressionlessly looked away.
Matthias also noticed them and curled his lips. “What bad luck.”
They were there that day to discuss a collaboration.
Matthias still had other matters to handle, and this project had always been handled mainly by Celeste.
Seeing her constantly talking business with people, Matthias thoughtfully brought her drinks and handed her tissues to wipe her mouth.
Wynn, Linda, and the others had noticed Celeste and Matthias the moment they entered the banquet.

Seeing how attentive, considerate, and gentle Matthias was toward Celeste, Linda and Ruby both looked displeased.
Ruby said sourly, “They look like they’re getting along quite well.”
“I really don’t know what’s so good about her.”
Seeing Matthias treating Celeste so well, and thinking about how Trevor also seemed to have developed feelings for Celeste again, Linda spoke with both jealousy and resentment.
“She may be good–looking, but isn’t Wynn prettier than her? More outstanding than her?”
Ruby also felt that her niece was more outstanding.
Wynn listened to their conversation without saying anything.
Lilian didn’t speak either.
Just then, Beck arrived.
Ruby and Wynn noticed him immediately.
Because Beck had rejected Linda before, Ruby now felt awkward whenever she saw him.
Linda dared not look directly at Beck. When she saw him, her eyes immediately reddened.
Yet when he appeared, it was impossible not to keep looking at him.
Lilian, on the other hand, remained calm. When she saw Beck, she greeted him gently, as usual. “Beck.”
Beck didn’t expect them to be there.
He slowed his steps slightly and greeted her, “Mrs. Locket.”
After that, he nodded to Wynn. Then, after glancing at Linda and Ruby, he walked toward Celeste. 1
