As they walked further away , Oscar asked , “ Is there something going on between you both and the Lockets ? ”
Matthias and Celeste exchanged a glance . Then , Celeste said , “ No , there isn’t . ”
It wasn’t a misunderstanding , after all .
However , Oscar misunderstood her words , thinking that she truly had no conflicts with the Lockets .
“ Very well then . ”
Oscar was optimistic about YodaVision’s prospects . Hence , he remarked sincerely , “ Considering how highly Trevor regards Ms. Locket , the Locket family is about to skyrocket in status . The Flemings , especially Trevor , are not people to mess with . Even if you don’t want to get close to the Lockets , it’s best not to provoke them . ”
Celeste smiled , realizing what Oscar had said was quite ironic .
Who else but her would ever be told to maintain a good relationship with her husband’s mistress , all because her – husband cared about his mistress too much ?
Matthias couldn’t stand listening to that as well .
He said , “ We’re not afraid of Trevor at all .
Their company had been shielded by the government all along because of Cuap .

Trevor didn’t manage to lay his hand on YodaVision some time ago . And with their ongoing project , Matthias believed that they’d gain substantial backing from the government soon .
Their company’s size would expand considerably within a year this time .
By then , YodaVision would be completely beyond Trevor’s control .
Hence , what Matthias had just said wasn’t just anything he blurted out of frustration .
It was the confidence Celeste had given him .
Betty would be celebrating her birthday on Saturday .
Celeste no longer cared whether Trevor showed up for Betty’s birthday .
Jordyn , however , had to be there .
To prevent Jordyn from slipping away to see Wynn that day , leaving her whereabouts unknown , Celeste gave Jordyn a call on Thursday morning .
It was the first time she’d called Jordyn since she’d come back from Andostan on her birthday .
Jordyn was having her breakfast .
Trevor was there too .
Seeing Celeste’s name on her phone would still fill Jordyn with joy now .
She put away the utensils immediately and answered the phone . “ Mom ! ”
“ Hello . ” Celeste could tell that Jordyn was speaking with food in her mouth . She asked , “ Are you having your breakfast ? ”

“ Yes ! Have you eaten , Mom ? ”
“ I have . ” Celeste went on , “ I’m calling to let you know that Granny’s birthday is this Saturday . So don’t make any plans that day — you’ll be coming with me to her place for celebration , okay ? ”
“ Ah … ”
Jordyn didn’t expect Celeste to call just to tell her this .
She hadn’t managed to spend time with Wynn last weekend , and she thought she could make up for it this week .
Hence , she felt a bit reluctant to hear what Celeste had just said .
But still , she couldn’t turn a deaf ear to Celeste’s words .
Celeste must have noticed Jordyn’s reluctance too , as she knew exactly what was on the latter’s mind .
Tightening the grip on her phone , she asked Jordyn , “ Is your Dad around ? ”
“ Dad ? Yeah , ” Jordyn replied as she looked at Trevor , who was sitting across from her . Then , she asked Celeste , Do you want to talk to him , Mom ? ”
“ Yes , please pass your phone to him . I have something to tell him . ”
‘ Okay . ”
Jordyn handed the phone to Trevor , who was still eating his breakfast . “ Dad , Mom wants to talk to you . ”
Trevor put down the utensils and grabbed the phone . “ What’s the matter ? ”
“ My Granny is celebrating her birthday the day after tomorrow . Please tell Jo to follow me back to the Rodriguez residence on that day , and she must not sneak away . ”
Trevor replied , “ Alright . Anything else ? ”
“ I’ll be taking her to the Rodriguez residence on Friday night . ”
“ Okay . ”
Celeste felt a sense of relief upon hearing Trevor’s answer . After a brief pause , she said , “Thank you . ”
Trevor hummed a reply .
Celeste had never asked whether he was free on Saturday when she gave him the invitation .
This time , too .
Moreover , since he’d passed the item he had bought at the auction to her , it was clear he intended for her to give the gift to Betty in his place .
