Chapter 210
Seeing Beck actually talking to Celeste , Linda’s eyes widenel in shock . She couldn’t help but ask Miles , “ Why is Beck talking to her ? ”
Before Miles could respond , she immediately started walking in their direction .
Lilian grabbed her arm and said calmly , “ They’re discussing business . ”
“ Business ?
“ Mhm . ”
Linda pursed her lips and huffed , suppressing her impulses , but her eyes remained fixed on Celeste and Beck .
Celeste was wearing a long winter dress today . Even though she hadn’t put much effort into dressing up , she still
stood out .
Standing next to Beck , they unexpectedly looked well – matched .
Although Linda knew there couldn’t be anything between them , she still felt uneasy . She couldn’t help but tug at Miles ‘ sleeve . “ Miles , what are they talking about ? Why is it taking so long ? ”
Linda’s feelings for Beck were obvious .
Miles had known Beck for years and was well aware that Beek wasn’t interested in girls with a spoiled , willful personality like hers .
Besides , Beck had made his rejection of her quite clear .
Miles chuckled . “ They’re just socializing ; it happens .
“ Can’t business matters be discussed on a workday ? ”
Miles wasn’t in the mood to argue with her . He also wanted to go inside for some tea , but Beck hadn’t returned yet .
At that moment , Trevor and Wynn finally arrived .
Miles immediately waved them over . “ Over here . ”
Seeing them , Harvey and the others broke into smiles . “ Trevor , Wynn , you’re here ! ”
Trevor nodded and was about to speak when he caught sight of Celeste and Beck nearby .
The Lockets and the Shaws watched him closely , anticipating his reaction . But after just a glance , Trevor withdrew his gaze and simply said , “ I’m going over to say hello . ”
Patricia and Lilian exchanged a subtle glance as Trevor walked away .
Wynn , however , smiled and said , “ Mrs. Fleming Senior has a good relationship with them . Even if they’re divorced , he wouldn’t easily burn bridges . ”
So , if they ran into each other in public , a simple greeting was still necessary . As for anything more – there wouldn’t be any .
Hearing this , Patricia and the others relaxed . For a moment they had wondered ….
Wynn glanced in Celeste’s direction , but then casually looked away .
Celeste was facing Harvey and the others . So , naturally , she had noticed when Trevor and Wynn arrived .

What she didn’t expect was for Trevor to walk toward her .
She frowned slightly .
“ Madam Klein . ” Trevor greeted Betty first .
A moment ago , she had been all smiles , but upon seeing him approach , her expression immediately turned cold . ” Mr. Fleming . ”
Trevor wasn’t bothered by her indifferent tone . He gave Celeste a brief nod as well .
Celeste turned her face away and ignored him .
As Wynn had said , he was only here to exchange pleasantries . Once that was done , he was ready to leave .
Before leaving , he glanced at Beck , silently asking if he wanted to go with him.
Beck turned to Betty and Matthias and said , “ I have something to take care of . Let’s talk another time . ” Matthias waved him off , clearly unimpressed .
Betty , however , remained polite . “ Let’s chat again when you’re free . ”
With that , Beck and Trevor turned and walked back toward the Lockets and the Shaws .
