Chapter 464
Celeste left the company and returned to the Rodriguez residence , but Jordyn wasn’t around .
She had apparently gone to accompany Trevor .
Martha’s condition was worrying , and Celeste couldn’t rest easy .
For the next few days , she visited the hospital every morning to check on her . Sometimes Trevor was there , and sometimes it was Queenie and Teagan .
Queenie didn’t like the idea of Celeste being her daughter – in – law , but since Celeste came to visit Martha , Queenie still thanked her politely . ( 1
Teagan also wasn’t fond of Celeste , but since Celeste and Trevor were going to get divorced , she felt there was no point saying anything anymore . So , during their recent encounters , she refrained from making snide remarks .
That day , when Celeste came to the hospital in the morning , the three siblings – Teagan , Trevor , and Tucker- were all there , along with Queenie .
After checking on Martha , Celeste was about to leave when Trevor stood up and said , “ I’ll walk you out . ”
“ It’s okay . ” She refused flatly and left without even looking back . ( 1
Seeing this , Trevor didn’t insist .
Teagan had been away from Baumond recently and , in fact , hadn’t seen Celeste for quite a while before Martha’s incident .
Watching Celeste leave without even a backward glance and showing no trace of the affection she once had for Trevor , Teagan commented , “ Looks like she’s really let you go . ” ( 1 )
Trevor gave a faint smile and was about to respond when his phone rang . ( 4 )
On the other side , Celeste went straight to Fleming Group after leaving the hospital .
Around noon , she and a few staff members were preparing to head out for lunch . As the elevator doors opened on the ground floor , they ran into Wynn , who was just walking toward the elevator .
Although Wynn didn’t visit Fleming Group frequently , she had been there enough times that many people recognized her .
And just about everyone knew she was Trevor’s girlfriend .
Seeing her , the staff greeted her politely out of respect for her status . “ Ms. Locket . ”
Wynn didn’t expect to run into Celeste .
When she saw her , she instinctively paused , then looked away while clutching her handbag . 3
As everyone greeted her warmly , she responded with a polite smile and nod before walking past Celeste and into the elevator .
Moments later , she reached the top floor . Zeke and Jacob greeted her courteously . “ Ms. Locket . ”
She smiled politely and nodded in return .
She knocked before entering Trevor’s office . Seeing him at his desk , still buried in work , she showed a genuine

smile . “ Still not done ? ”
Trevor looked up . “ Not yet . ”

Though he had returned to Baumond for several days already , this was actually his first day back at Fleming Group -he’d been busy with other matters .
Wynn smiled and walked over . She noticed he was holding what looked like an invitation and leaned closer , curious . “ What’s that ? ”
Trevor replied , “ It’s the invitation to YodaVision’s 10th anniversary celebration . It was delivered a few days ago – I just got the chance to look at it now . ”
Wynn’s smile froze instantly . T
Trevor noticed and looked up . “ What’s wrong ? ”
Wynn quickly forced a smile and gave a dry laugh . “ YodaVision … It’s already been ten years since it was founded ? ”
Trevor smiled . “ Yeah . ”
Wynn looked at him , tightening her grip on her purse . After a moment’s hesitation , she asked , “ Are you going to attend ? ”
Trevor replied , “ Yes . With the current partnership between our company and YodaVision , even if I didn’t have time , I’d make time to go . ” ( 14
Wynn gave an awkward laugh . “ I see … ” 7
