Chapter 129

Linda scoffed . “ That’s so shameless of her ! ”
Just talking about that made her upset . “ Could it be that they have a great connection , which is why such a significant person is attending her birthday ? ”
“ No , ” Wynn replied coldly . “ They just barely know each other . ”
From her perspective , Celeste got to know Zachary through Matthias .
So , the reason why Zachary was there today was probably because of Matthias .
“ Oh , okay , ” Linda said .
Beck and Miles were sitting at the table beside Wynn’s , right behind her .
Initially , Beck was quietly enjoying his meal . He paused for a moment when he heard how Zachary was at Betty’s birthday party . He asked , “ The Rodriguez family’s birthday party ? ”
Miles then explained , “ Oh , today’s the birthday of Celeste’s maternal grandmother . The parties for the Rodriguez family and the Shaw family are on the same day , and the guest lists coincide . Thus , most of the overlapping guests are attending this one because of Trevor and Wynn . ”
Miles had no prior knowledge of this .
He only found out just now after hearing it in the banquet hall .
It dawned on Beck what was happening at the Rodriguez family’s party . “ Does it mean there’s barely anyone left there ? ”
Miles shrugged as he said , “ Yeah , I heard three – quarters of the tables are empty . ”
Then , he chuckled . “ It’s just so sad , seeing all the guests leave and having no way to stop them . ”
Miles ‘ tone was laced with amusement when he said that .
Beck’s expression shifted . He stood up all of a sudden .
It surprised Miles for a moment . “ What’s wrong ? ”
“ I need to make a call , ” Beck said .
Without waiting for Miles to respond , Beck walked out quickly .
Wynn and Linda looked over , seeing how Beck had just left in a rush .
Wynn asked , “ Where is Beck going ? ”
“ He said there’s something urgent , and he needed to make a call . ”
“ Oh ”
Wynn didn’t ask any further .
The seat beside her was empty .
She had deliberately saved it for Trevor .

Erin glanced at the clock and said , “ Is Trevor not here yet , Wynn ? Do you want to call and check on him ? ”
Wynn was thinking the same thing as well .
She took out her phone and called Trevor .
But the call didn’t go through .
A large number of guests came to the Shaws ‘ housewarming party today . The Shaws went around to each table , offering drinks and mingling around to build connections .
Wynn was , naturally , part of that process .
After all , the guests came to their housewarming party because of Wynn .
And with Wynn around , the guests would surely show them more respect .
As they approached with drinks , the guests stood up politely .
After they exchanged pleasantries , someone asked , “ Is Mr. Fleming not here yet , Ms. Locket ? ”
Wynn replied , “ He’s on his way now , and he should be here soon . ”
As her words fell , someone nearby remarked , “ My friend told me Mr. Fleming is at the Rodriguez family’s party .”
“ Mr. Fleming is there too ? Really ? ”
“ There’s even photos of him . Look ! ”
“ Gosh , it’s really him ! ”
Everyone looked at Wynn in unison .
They weren’t familiar with the Shaws, but they attended the housewarming party , partly to show respect for Trevor , but also because the Rodriguez family’s business was struggling , with no chance of bouncing back .
But now , not only had Zachary gone to Betty’s birthday party , but even Trevor was there to celebrate it too .
So , why did they even come here in the first place ?
