Chapter 479
Trevor and Celeste had known each other for many years and had also been married for quite a while, but Trevor had never liked Celeste. So, even with a child between them, and even if the two of them went out for a meal alone, neither the Shaw family nor the Locket family would feel threatened or believe that something might develop between Trevor and Celeste.
Linda’s strong reaction was purely because she disliked Celeste Lilian and Patricia, on the other hand, were quite indifferent. 1 Lilian had no intention of disturbing Trevor in the private room. She lightly patted Linda, signaling her not to say too much, and then said to the restaurant manager, “Please show us the way.” With that, she didn’t spare Celeste another glance and entered another private room, arm in arm with Erin. 2 Celeste might indeed be quite capable in the Al field.
Her connection with Matthias and how she managed to win his absolute loyalty was no small feat. However, to Trevor, Celeste meant nothing. —- That’s why Lilian and Patricia truly didn’t care that Trevor was out having a meal with Celeste. They couldn’t even be bothered to inform Wynn about it. Linda felt annoyed just at the sight of Celeste.
Even though she didn’t really believe that Celeste could steal Trevor away from her cousin, she was convinced that Celeste would use the rare opportunity of being alone with Trevor to try and sabotage his relationship with Wynn. 4 So, as soon as she entered the private room, she sent a message to Wynn. “Wynn, we just saw that bitch at the restaurant-she’s actually having a meal with Trev! Of course, her daughter is there too.” Wynn rarely responded to Linda’s messages.
However, since this one was about Trevor, she casually replied, “I know. Trevor told me.” 5 Linda felt slightly relieved when she saw that. “That’s good. I was worried she might try to stir up trouble, but if Trev is reporting everything to you, then I’m not worried anymore Wynn didn’t reply after reading that message. —- Previously, when she learned about Celeste’s competence in the Al field, she had been somewhat anxious-though admittedly, she still hadn’t taken her very seriously.
2 But now that it had come to light that Celeste was Zachary’s student and a major shareholder of YodaVision, the impact of those two facts was massive. 1 It had shaken her confidence entirely for some time. However, she had since come to terms with it. Apart from professional ability, she was not inferior to Celeste in any other way. 9 So, she had relaxed her mindset regarding Trevor meeting with Celeste.
Still, she had to admit that the difference in capability between Nancy and Celeste was quite significant. If Trevor ever found out about Celeste’s relationship with Zachary, and that the two or three projects from YodaVision he admired so much were all led by Celeste-could he really remain completely indifferent? = Celeste finished her phone call after several minutes and returned to the private room.
—- Seeing her come back, Trevor asked, “Was it something urgent?” Celeste didn’t want to engage with him. But seeing Jordyn looking at her eagerly, she simply shook her head. Jordyn ran over to grab her hand. “Mom, come pick the dishes with me!” 3 Celeste sat down. “You haven’t ordered yet?” Jordyn replied, “Not yet. Dad said to wait until you came back.” 4 Trevor was being considerate, but Celeste remained emotionally unmoved.
After sitting beside Jordyn, she took the menu and began to order.
