Chapter 207
Trevor’s feelings for Wynn were beyond doubt . So , that scene where Trevor was holding Celeste was most likely just a misunderstanding .
On Friday morning , shortly after Celeste got up , she received a call from Betty , asking her to accompany her to Harry Jennings ‘ art exhibition on Sunday morning .
Betty was a devoted fan of Harry , a renowned artist . The last time he held an exhibition was over a decade ago . Since this was a rare opportunity , Celeste said , “ Sure , I’ll go with you on Sunday . ”
Just as she hung up , another call came in – it was Jordyn .
This was the first time Jordyn had called her since Monday , after attending the parent – child event at her school . Celeste didn’t pick up .
On Saturday afternoon , she went back to the Rodriguez residence for dinner .
Then , on Sunday morning , Celeste and Betty left together for the exhibition .
When they arrived , just as Celeste stepped out of the car , she saw Matthias ‘ car pulling in as well .
Surprised , she called out , “ Matthias ? ”
Matthias also looked surprised when he saw her and Betty Cel ? Madam Klein ? You’re here too ? ” “ Yes , ”
Betty smiled and asked , “ Matthias , are you interested in paintings as well ? ”
Matthias replied , “ Not exactly . I’m here to deliver a gift on behalf of my family … ”
Harry was a renowned painter , and the Jennings family had an illustrious background .
Whenever he held an exhibition , those within his circle would always show their support , while those outside it would try their best to get close , hoping to build connections .
It was said that whenever Harry hosted an exhibition , not only did his paintings sell out , but the congratulatory gifts he received would amount to billions .
But the Jennings family didn’t need that money .
Frustrated by the overwhelming social obligations , Harry had stopped holding exhibitions more than ten years
apo .
The Yoder family actually didn’t need to curry favor with the Jennings family as well .
Although their relationship had grown somewhat distant since his father’s generation , the two elder patriarchs still maintained a strong bond .
Now , Harry was holding an exhibition again after so many years . However , Matthias ‘ grandfather , Alvin Yoder , wasn’t interested in attending the crowded event .
So , as a gesture of goodwill , he sent Matthias to deliver a gift on the family’s behalf .

Matthias didn’t expect to run into Celeste and Betty here .
Back when Harry used to hold exhibitions , the venues would always be packed .
Now , with the Jennings family still thriving and this being Barry’s first exhibition in over a decade , Matthias could already imagine how grand and bustling the event would be .
Which meant Trevor , Wynn , and the Locket family would likely be here as well .
The last time Harry held an exhibition , Celeste had been tog young to attend .
Over the years , she only knew that he rarely hosted exhibitions , and since there had been little news about him , she wasn’t very familiar with the details
Noticing the concem on Matthias ‘ face , she asked , “ What’s wrong ? ”
Matthias smiled , “ Nothing , Wait here for a moment – I’ll park the car , and we’ll go in together , ”
“ Alright . ”
After parking , Matthias joined Celeste and Betty , and the three of them entered the exhibition hall together .
As Matthias had expected , the massive three – story venue was already packed with people .
However , before they even had the chance to properly admire the paintings or accompany Matthias to greet the Jennings family , they ran into members of the Lockets and the Shaws .
Erin and Patricia were both present , chatting happily with others . When they noticed Celeste’s group , neither of them was surprised .
After all , they were well aware of Betty’s admiration for Harry’s paintings .
Now that an exhibition had finally been held after so many years , how could Betty possibly miss it ?
