Chapter 283
The government staff arranged lunch for Celeste and the other company representatives . After the forum had . concluded , she packed her stuff , rose to her feet , and left . Trevor watched her retreating figure and walked behind
her .
The Robinson family and the Jennings family were quite close to each other . So , Jorge and Harold knew one another quite well . Once they were out of the conference rodin , the former greeted the latter .
Celeste ignored Jorge , who was standing next to Harold , Instead , she walked over and greeted Harold as well . “ Mr. Jennings . ”
He smiled and responded warmly , “ You don’t have to be so stiff . Just act natural . ”
Celester readily took his advice . “ Alright , Mr. Jennings . ”
Jorge heard what she said and was stumped . If memory served him right , Celeste and Harold had probably met each other for the first time during Harry’s art exhibition .
Back then , Harold might’ve been quite polite toward Celeste out of respect for Matthias , but they were likely not that close . Things didn’t seem to be the case , though .
Not only did Harold recognize Celeste at first glance , but he was even quite warm toward her . It was as if she came from his friend’s family , and he had also known her since she was a kid as well .
Furthermore , she was calm when she greeted Harold , even though she was the younger one .
At that moment , Trevor also came over . “ Mr. Jennings . ”
The smile on Harold’s face faded somewhat when he saw Trevor . The Jennings family didn’t exactly have a close relationship with the Fleming family . However , he had been interacting with Trevor occasionally due to work for the past few years .
As for Trevor , Harold used to think the former was so excellent that he outshone everyone around him . At the same time , it was exceedingly rare for someone like Trevor to be humble and courteous around people . He had never paid any attention to the young man’s love life , though .
Harold clearly remembered knowing that Trevor had a girlfriend from what he had gathered during Harry’s art exhibition . More to the point , it seemed like everyone knew about it .
On the other hand , no one seemed to know that Trevor was married to Celeste . Back then , it didn’t look like they knew each other at all .
That was why Harold was quite shocked when he learned that Trevor was married to Celeste . On top of that , they even had a kid who was around six years old .
With that said , Trevor and Celeste acted as if they didn’t know each other during Harry’s art exhibition last year . There was a strong possibility that they were already divorced back then .
All of them headed to the dining area . Jorge looked at them and frowned . Before the forum began , he noticed Trevor taking the initiative to talk to Celeste .
Although he couldn’t hear what they talked about , she had been maliciously targeting Wynn this whole time .
The thing was , Trevor had treated Celeste very warmly . Moreover , he acted as if they were very close . In fact , Trevor even made a point of sitting next to Celeste right now .
The longer Jorge looked at them , the deeper his frown grew

Celeste lowered her head and ate quietly as she listened in on Harold and the other politician’s exchange . Trevor might’ve been sitting next to him , but he had been chatting with someone else . He did talk to her that much .
Trevor didn’t talk to Celeste until the meal was almost over “ Jo’s going back to school in a few days . Do you want to take her yourself on her first day of school ? ”
She lowered her gaze and responded nonchalantly , “ I’m busy , and I can’t make time for it . ”
He heard what she said , grinned , and said , “ Okay . I get the picture . ”
Then , he turned around and chatted with someone else .
Jorge made sure to pay attention to them . He had some thoghts when he saw Trevor talking to Celeste again . However , Trevor was openly talking to her in front of everyone . Perhaps he had been overthinking it after all .
More to the point , InnovaTech and YodaVision Co. had ongoing collaborative projects . Trevor might’ve talked to Celeste out of pure courtesy . Maybe that was all there was to it .
The meal was almost over , too . So , Jorge turned his gaze away . Then , he saw Harold , and a thought suddenly popped into his mind . He quickly pulled out his phone and sent a text to Caleb .
“ Did your uncle know Celeste in person before your grandpa’s art exhibition ? ”
Caleb had a unique job . Normally , he wouldn’t reply to a text that quickly . However , it just so happened that he had an off day today . When he saw Jorge’s text , he quickly replied to it .
“ Uncle Harold doesn’t know Celeste . What’s the matter ? ”
