At that moment , Jordyn noticed Celeste coming out with her suitcase . “ Mom ? ”
“ Mm . ” Celeste snapped back to reality , closed the door , and said , “ I have work to do , so I’m heading back first . You stay here with Dad and have fun . ”
Jordyn quickly nodded . “ Okay , I got it , Mom . ”
Celeste dragged her suitcase downstairs . When she reached the ground floor , she ran into Trevor , who was with Wynn .
Seeing her leaving with her suitcase , he simply asked , “ You’re leaving ? ”
Celeste replied coolly , “ Mm . ”
“ Did you call a car ? ”
“ I did . ”
He didn’t try to stop her and only said , “ Alright . ”
Celeste then walked out with her suitcase , got into the car , and left .
Miles woke up later than usual that day .
When he came downstairs for lunch with Trevor and the others , he said , “ Trevor , why don’t you go upstairs and invite her down ? ”
Of course , he was referring to Celeste .
Trevor said indifferently , “ No need . She has already left . ”
Miles raised an eyebrow . “ She left ? ”
Beck also paused for a moment .
“ Yes , ” Trevor said . “ She had work to take care of at the company . ”
Miles knew about how Matthias didn’t hire Wynn because of Celèste and how she went to work at YodaVision .
He hadn’t forgotten that last night , Trevor also said she was too busy with work to come down for dinner . Thinking about that , he chuckled . “ Busy yesterday , busy today – she’s so busy , huh ? ”
So busy that without her , it was as if YodaVision would fall apart .
But she only got in through connections . Not only was she not particularly capable , but she wasn’t a major shareholder of YodaVision either .
Saying she was “ busy ” was obviously just an excuse . And it was such a lousy one . Miles didn’t even know what to
say .
Wynn also caught onto his meaning . She lowered her head as she ate , letting out a silent smile .
Celeste had no idea what Miles and the others were thinking . After leaving the hot spring retreat , she headed straight to YodaVision and worked until nightfall .

After two days of non – stop work , she was planning to go home early to rest when she received a call from her unele , Ivan .
Half an hour later , Celeste arrived at the Rodriguez residence .
Ivan and his wife were there , along with their two children , Jamie and Hector .
Celeste smiled and hummed a response .
Hector asked , “ Where’s Jo ? Didn’t you say she’s back in the country ? Why didn’t she come to dinner ? ”
“ She went to the hot springs and hasn’t come back yet . ”
“ Thinking that Jordyn was probably there with Trevor , Hector didn’t ask further .
Before entering the house , Celeste glanced at the villa across the street and hesitated for a moment .
When she went to the hot spring retreat , she hadn’t thought to bring the keys to this villa . If she had , she could’ve started clearing out all traces of the Shaw family and had it renovated …
Ivan and his wife had been preparing for Betty’s birthday banquet .
They had called Celeste back not only to get her input but also because there was something they needed her to take care of .
“ These two invitations are for the Fleming family and Teagan . Cel , find some time in the next few days to deliver it to them . ”
Celeste hesitated briefly before taking them . “ Alright . ”
After dinner , she chatted with Betty and Ivan for a while .
At around nine in the evening , she decided it was time for her to leave .
Before she left , Betty walked her to the door , held her hand , and said , “ If the Fleming family doesn’t want to come , don’t force them . Whether they come or not , I don’t really care ! ”
