At Jordyn’s school , Celeste heard a sweet voice call out her name . “ Ms. Rodriguez . ”
Turning slightly , she saw Sylvia running toward her and saying , “ Ms. Rodriguez , my mom asked me to bring you some buns last night , but you weren’t home , so I took them back . ”
Just as Celeste was about to speak , Jordyn , unaware that Celeste had already moved out , huffed and said , “ That’s not true . My mom was home last night . ”
Sylvia scratched her head . “ Huh ? Really ? Then why … ”
Before Celeste could respond , Jordyn’s teacher called out to her , “ Ms. Rodriguez . ”
Celeste turned . “ Ms. Alper . ”
Donna gestured for Jordyn and Sylvia to head inside , saying she had something to discuss with Celeste .
Once the two children went in , Donna said , “ Ms. Rodriguez , do you know about next week’s parent – child activity at the school ? ”
Celeste shook her head . “ No. ”
Jordyn didn’t mention it to her .
Donna hesitated , having already suspected this but still wanting to confirm it with her .
Celeste simply said , “ As long as someone is there to accompany her , it’s fine . ”
Seeing Celeste’s consistent attitude on the matter , Donna sighed and said , “ Alright , I understand . ”
After thanking her , Celeste turned and left .
Not long after returning to the company , she was informed that Wynn and Harvey had come again .
Their last meeting with Wynn was just incidental . Neither she nor Matthias had ever considered working with the Locket family .
Upon hearing the news , Matthias directly instructed his staff to send them away .
Shortly after , Matthias received a phone call . Seeing the caller ID , he glanced at Celeste .
Celeste looked up . “ Trevor ? ”
“ Yes . ”
Already guessing the purpose of the call , Celeste ignored it and continued working .
Matthias answered , “ Mr. Fleming . ”
On the other end , Trevor said , “ Mr. Yoder , how about a meal together later ? ”
Matthias didn’t bother with pleasantries . “ Mr. Fleming , this call is on behalf of the Locket family , isn’t it ? ”
Trevor replied , “ Yes . ”
Matthias chuckled and stated clearly , “ Mr. Fleming , YodaVision will never collaborate with the Locket family . I don’t think I need to explain why . ”
Before Trevor could respond , he added , “ Furthermore , the proposal Fleming Group submitted last time was excellent . However , if we were to collaborate , I have one condition – you must guarantee that no one from the

Lockets or the Shaws will have any involvement with our project .
“ If that can’t be ensured , then there’s nothing more to discuss . Mr. Fleming , have I made myself clear ? ”
Trevor responded , “ Very clear . ”
“ Good . Goodbye then , Mr. Fleming . ” With that , Matthias hung up .
Trevor did not call back .
In the following days , even the Fleming Group remained silent . It seemed as though Trevor was willing to forgo the opportunity to collaborate for Wynn’s sake .
And in reality , that was exactly the case .
Two or three days later , Matthias heard that Fleming Group had established a project team for a new development , with both the Lockets and the Shaws involved .
While it was a pity not to collaborate with Fleming Group , there were still plenty of other companies of a similar scale .
YodaVision didn’t necessarily need Fleming Group .
On Friday night , Zachary returned .
