Chapter 659
“He arrived early?”
“Yes. He was already here around 8:00 pm.”
Jorge fell silent. His gaze cut through the dense crowd and landed on Trevor.
Trevor was deep in conversation at the moment, showing no sign of preparing to leave.
So, he wasn’t planning to attend InnovaTech’s banquet after all?
Just then, Trevor also noticed him and raised his glass with a smile in his direction. Before they could exchange anything further, Matthias and Celeste walked over to Jorge.
“Sorry for the lack of welcome earlier. Please forgive us, Mr. Robinson.”
Jorge withdrew his gaze. “Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez, you’re too polite.”
Before they had the chance to exchange more pleasantries, Beck arrived as well. “Sorry, things were a bit hectic today. I’m late.”
Compared to his attitude toward Jorge, Matthias was noticeably warmer and more courteous with Beck. “No problem at all. You being able to make it is already an honor for YodaVision, Mr. Harper.”
Jorge noticed that Beck hadn’t gone to InnovaTech’s banquet either.
Given how closely the Harper Corporation and YodaVision worked together, if Beck had to choose just one banquet to attend, coming to YodaVision did make more sense.
Still, Jorge had heard that Beck and Wynn were on good terms. With InnovaTech needing both him and Trevor to help hold the fort, as a friend, Beck should have lent a hand no matter what.
Beck really had been busy lately.
Just to see Celeste, he had pushed aside an important work arrangement and rushed over, barely making it in time for YodaVision’s banquet.
What he hadn’t expected was that Trevor was still here this late into the night.
When Trevor saw Beck arrive, he walked over. “You’re here.”
Beck smiled and clinked glasses with him. “Mm.”
There were many guests that night, and Matthias and Celeste were both busy.
After exchanging a few words with Beck, Celeste said, “Mr. Harper, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Robinson, we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll excuse ourselves. If there’s been any lack of hospitality, please forgive us.”
Beck smiled. “Not at all.”
Trevor nodded with a smile. “No problem.”
Jorge said, “Go ahead.”
Watching Celeste leave, Beck only withdrew his gaze after a long moment. He clinked glasses with Trevor again “Are you getting ready to leave? If not, shall we have a drink?”
Trevor replied, “Sure.”
With that, he smiled at Jorge. “Mr. Robinson, care to join us?”
Jorge smiled back. “Of course. My honor.”

Though Jorge wore a smile, there was little warmth in his eyes. Trevor and Beck were clearly not planning to go to InnovaTech’s
banquet.
Earlier, he had noticed the way Beck watched Celeste leave, but he didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, his attention lingered more on Trevor. Seeing that there wasn’t the slightest trace of attachment or pursuit on Trevor’s face and coupled with Celeste’s strictly professional attitude toward him, Jorge found the whole thing deeply ironic.
Celeste and Matthias were unaware of what was going through their minds.
Nor did they have the time to pay them much attention.
Kieran was naturally present at YodaVision’s banquet that evening as well.
From the moment Trevor appeared at the banquet, Kieran had been keeping an eye on him.
He had no contact whatsoever with Wynn now, and truly didn’t know that InnovaTech’s banquet was also being held that night.
So, seeing Trevor stay here for almost the entire evening, he didn’t sense that anything was amiss.
