Chapter : 658

After the message was sent, no one replied for quite a while.

Miles continued to bombard the group chat.

Seeing that there was still no response, he called Trevor directly.

Once the call connected, he asked, “Today’s InnovaTech’s year-end banquet. Where are you? It’s already so late-why haven’t you arrived?”

Trevor replied, “Something came up today.”

“So… You’re not coming?”

Trevor answered, “Mm. Have fun.”

Miles couldn’t say anything.

Before he could ask anything else, Trevor said he still had important matters to

attend to and hung up.

Since Trevor had already put it that way, Miles didn’t press further.

In his view, given how much Trevor valued Wynn, unless he truly couldn’t get away, there was no way he would miss the banquet.

After hanging up, Miles was just about to call Beck when Beck’s call came in first.

“I’ve got something to deal with, so I won’t be coming,” Beck said.

Miles sighed. “Alright then. Every single one of you is really busy.”

Beck didn’t say much more. After exchanging a few more words with Miles, he ended the call.

Wynn had already seen the message Miles sent in the group.

Jacob had already informed her earlier that Trevor wasn’t coming.

As for Beck, on the day after she sent out the invitation, he had also messaged her, saying he was tied up with matters and couldn’t make it.

He hadn’t even bothered to call her. A single message was all it took to dismiss her. “Ms. Locket.”

Jorge walked over. “I have something else to attend to, so I’ll need to leave first.”

Unlike the others, Jorge had arrived quite early.

YodaVision’s banquet was also being held tonight. Wynn knew he was heading over there.

She smiled politely. “Mr. Robinson, you’ve already done me a great honor by coming despite your busy schedule. Since you have other matters, I won’t keep you. Tomorrow at CodeFlux’s banquet, I’ll be there on time.”

Jorge replied, “You’re too polite, Ms. Locket.”

Jorge was indeed heading to YodaVision’s banquet.

No matter how much he disliked Celeste, when it came to business, he couldn’t

withhold basic courtesy toward YodaVision.

After exchanging a few polite words with Wynn, he turned and left.

As soon as he was gone, Miles, seeing that neither Beck nor Trevor had shown up and feeling bored, also went over to Wynn and said he would be leaving. fo

Hearing that Miles was leaving so soon, the forced smiles on the faces of the Lockets and the Shaws nearly collapsed.

Most of the guests in the banquet hall had come because of Trevor and Beck.

With neither of them present, at least Miles and Jorge showing up had somewhat salvaged the situation.

But now, with Trevor and Beck absent and Miles leaving not long

after arriving, they could le

imagine what the other guests would think.

Still, since Miles wanted to leave, they couldn’t very well stop him and could only see him off politely.

…

When Jorge arrived at YodaVision, before spotting Matthias or Celeste, he first saw Trevor in the lobby, chatting with others.

Since Trevor hadn’t appeared at InnovaTech’s banquet, Jorge had guessed that he might have come to YodaVision’s banquet first.

But what he hadn’t expected was that Trevor was still there at this hour.

If he didn’t leave now, would he even make it to Innova Tech’s banquet in time?

Matthias and Celeste were occupied and didn’t notice Jorge right away.

When someone came over to speak with him, Jorge asked casually, “When did Mr. Fleming arrive?”

Without a second thought, the person replied warmly, “Mr. Fleming? He arrived quite early.”
