Chapter 150
As they left InnovaTech and got into the car , Matthias was still fuming .
Something suddenly occurred to him , and he turned to Celeste . “ By the way , who was that woman in the business suit standing behind Wynn ? She looked at you strangely . Do you two know each other ? ”
Celeste replied , “ Wynn’s cousin . ”
“ So , it’s already bad enough that Trevor brought Wynn into InnovaTech , but he actually took in her family too ? At this rate , I wouldn’t be surprised if InnovaTech changes its name to Locket in a few months . ”
Celeste felt the same way . But she simply hummed a response .
Given how much Trevor adored Wynn , she wouldn’t even be surprised if he handed InnovaTech over to her entirely . Letting the Shaw family work at InnovaTech was nothing .
Matthias decided to stop talking about it before he got even more frustrated .
That night , Celeste and Matthias stayed out late , working on replicating the engine specs of Trevor’s self – driving
car .
On the way home , snow began to fall .
When they arrived , Celeste was just about to take a shower when her phone rang .
It was Trevor .
She ignored the call , picked up her clothes , and went into the bathroom .
When she came out , she checked her phone and saw that Trevor had called twice . Since she didn’t answer , he had sent a message .
“ Jordyn has a parent – teacher meeting tomorrow . ”
Celeste read it and typed a short reply , “ I’m not available tomorrow . ” Then , she put her phone aside and didn’t think about it anymore .
Meanwhile , Trevor was busy while Jordyn was playing with his phone . When she saw Celeste’s reply . She lit up with excitement .
“ Dad ! Mom said she’s not available tomorrow ! That means can ask Wynn to go to my parent – teacher meeting , right ? ”
Without looking up , Trevor responded with a simple hum .
“ Yay ! Awesome ! ” Jordyn jumped up from the couch , cheering and flailing her arms in excitement .
Trevor added , “ I will be going too . ”
Jordyn grinned . “ I know ! If Wynn is going , of course , you’d go too . ”
The next day at YodaVision , Celeste was at work , discussing a project with Yandel , when her phone suddenly chimed .
It was a message from Jordyn’s homeroom teacher : “Mrs. Fleming , will you be attending today’s parent – teacher meeting for Jordyn ? ”
Celeste saw the message and replied , “ I’m busy . I won’t be attending . ”

A while later , the teacher sent another message : “ Jordyn’s father and another woman came to the meeting in your place today … ” Attached to the message was a photo .
In the picture , Trevor and Wynn were sitting together . Jordyn sat beside Wynn , clinging affectionately to her arm . Celeste wasn’t surprised . After all , Jordyn had been hoping she wouldn’t go and that Wynn would take her place . Since Wynn was attending in her stead , how could Trevor possibly let Wynn go alone ?
While the teacher seemed concerned for her , Celeste simply replied , “ I know , it’s fine . Thank you , Ms. Alper . ” Then , she put her phone down and went back to work .
Busy days always passed quickly . Before she knew it , it was Friday .
That morning , not long after she woke up , she got a call from Beck . He said that Shanice wanted to go camping . Celeste paused . “ The kind where we stay overnight ? ”
“ Yes . ” Beck reassured her , “ Don’t worry , I’ll arrange for security . I’ll prepare everything – sleeping bags , tents , heaters . You just need to show up . ”
