Chapter 798
Narcissa’s voice rang through the hall. “And she’s been doing everything she can to bully and suppress the woman he actually loves. Now she’s acting all smug like she’s the rightful wife. If we’re talking about shamelessness, who could possibly beat her?”
The moment she finished her words, the crowd erupted once more.
“So, Celeste actually married her way in like that? If that’s true… then even if Ms. Locket technically became the other woman… it’s kind of understandable?”
“Exactly! Mr. Fleming never loved Celeste in the first place. She forced him into marriage through underhanded means. He finally fell in love and wanted a proper divorce so they could be together, but Celeste refused to let go. In that situation, what else were Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket supposed to do?”
“Right? I bet Mr. Fleming treats Ms. Locket so well because he feels guilty that she’s had to carry the ‘homewrecker’ label all this time, so he’s trying to make it up to her.”
“No wonder whenever Mr. Fleming and Celeste show up at the same events-even though Fleming Group and YodaVision have been working together for years-he acts like she doesn’t even exist. So that’s why.”
Jorge, Caleb, Kieran, and Quentin all heard every word.
The moment Narcissa began revealing Celeste’s so-called “rise to the top,” Xavier’s jaw practically hit the floor. Afraid of missing even a single detail, he grabbed onto Jorge’s arm and forced himself to stay silent.
It was only after Narcissa seemed to finish did he finally explode.
“Holy crap! What is this insane gossip! I swear I’m dreaming! I’ve never witnessed so many bombshells packed into one night in my entire life! Thank God I came tonight. If I’d missed this, I would’ve missed out on the gossip of the century!”
Jorge simply hummed in agreement before breaking into a relieved smile.
Xavier laughed when he saw it and gave him a light punch in the chest. “You switched moods fast.”
He had seen firsthand how devastated Jorge had been only moments ago when he believed Wynn had knowingly become the other woman. The shock, the disbelief, the ugly expression on his face it had all been obvious.
Still, Xavier understood. After all, in Jorge’s eyes, Wynn was proud, brilliant, talented in every way, and endlessly fascinating.
She had been almost perfect.
So, finding out someone like her had knowingly gotten involved with a married man had been impossible for him to accept.
Jorge didn’t answer. The smile in his eyes only grew as he looked toward Wynn.
Just moments ago, believing she’d willingly become the other woman had shaken him to his core. Even when Narcissa began speaking, he had still been struggling to process it. swñovels.net But now, he couldn’t suppress the smile tugging at his lips. Looking at Wynn, he murmured softly. “I knew, it she would never be that kind of person.”
Xavier nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly. Someone as proud as Ms. Locket would
never knowingly become a mistress.”
Then he paused and glanced toward Caleb.
Jorge followed his gaze.
Earlier, both of them had been so focused on Narcissa’s accusations that neither had noticed Caleb’s expression when she described celeste’s so-called marriage scheme.”

But now they looked over and found him standing there, staring blankly in Celeste’s direction.
Xavier and Jorge exchanged a glance.
Then Xavier cautiously spoke. “Caleb, are you okay?”
