Wynn had the same idea , but the thing was that they started the whole mess to begin with .
She had maintained a gentle demeanor around Trevor to this point . If he learned about this incident , she wasn’t sure if he would think that she and her family had been picking on Celeste . That , in turn , would affect her image
in his heart .
Needless to say , Lilian understood Wynn’s concerns . She knew better than anyone how important it was to maintain one’s image . After all , that was the key to making a man love a woman forever .
Erin also understood it . Trevor loved Wynn deeply because she was very special to him . If they handled it carefully , it might not have a lasting effect on Wynn . However , it was still not a good move for her .
She glanced at Linda and said nonchalantly , “ Linda , you’re a grown – up . You really have to mind what you do and say in the future . ”
If they failed to handle this incident with finesse , it might prove to be a fatal blow to their families .
“ But , I … ” Linda trailed off .
At first , she thought it was just an insignificant incident . Now , however, the whole thing had spun out of control and become much bigger than it was .
In fact , she was already shaking in her boots . It had been a long time since she had been lectured this sternly . Although she felt sorry for herself , she had no choice but to own up to her mistake .
“ Understood . I will be mindful of how I present myself . ”
Erin fell silent and commented no further . The fact that Linda was lectured didn’t sit well with Patricia at all . However , the fact remained that Linda was the one who kick – started the whole mess .
If this kerfuffle actually affected InnovaTech’s future in the autonomous vehicle industry , the loss would be too great to bear . Compared to losing that amount of money , Linda’s feelings were relatively minor . That was also why Patricia didn’t defend Linda , despite her personal feelings .
In any case , they couldn’t have hidden this incident if they wanted to . After all , if YodaVision Co. insisted on terminating the collaboration , Trevor would still find out about it . It was just a matter of time .
Wynn was aware of that . Needless to say , Lilian and Erin understood as well .
Later , the dishes were served on the table , but none of them touched their cutlery . They were in a relatively good mood a while ago , but that was no longer the case now .
Wynn tightened her grip on her phone . After a brief moment of contemplation , she took a deep breath and left the private room . Then , she gave Trevor a phone call .
He answered her call rather quickly . “ Hello . ”
“ Trevor , ” she said , “ something unpleasant happened over here . ”
Wynn proceeded to recount the whole incident . Then , she added , “ Celeste was being a little aggressive earlier . I couldn’t stand it when my mom was being belittled , and I let the moment get to me . That’s how the whole thing came to this . ”
Trevor waited until she was done talking before he spoke . “ You’re wrong . If they take InnovaTech to court , they won’t stop at asking for termination of collaboration and compensation for damage of reputation . They’ll also ask for compensation for breach of contract .

“ After all , the entire collaboration could no longer go on because of your ostensible mistake . Terminating the contract would cause YodaVision Co. to suffer loss as well , and he would definitely make you pay the price . ”
Wynn was dumbfounded . “ Matthias didn’t say anything about this when we were on the phone . ”
“ He omitted it on purpose . He downplayed the situation because he wanted you to think that you could still turn the whole thing around , and he did that because he wanted to catch you off guard .
“ What he wanted was for you to call him back , admit your mistake , and apologize to him . In fact , he was biding his time to have dirt on you . ”
Then , Trevor added , “ If my assumptions are correct , Matthilas probably has a recording of your phone conversation with him . ”
Wynn was shocked . Only now did she understand what had happened . “ Are you telling me that Celeste deliberately wanted me to give Matthias a call ? And she did it because she wanted me to hand them a piece of evidence on a silver platter ? ”
Trevor responded , “ That’s right . ”
Wynn pursed her lips . It had never occurred to her that Celeste had planned this far ahead . Now , she finally saw how big of a mess she was actually in .
After a brief moment of deep contemplation , she snapped out of it and asked , “ I need your … ”
Trevor cut her off and said honestly , “ I can’t promise that I can solve it . YodaVision Co. is protected by the government . So , I can’t do anything to Matthias . ”
What about the Rodriguez family , then ?
Wynn thought about it , but she didn’t say it out loud . She knew that she couldn’t say something like this unless Trevor took the initiative to screw over the Rodriguezes . She couldn’t be sure if he would consider this option if she didn’t bring it up , though .
They chatted for a while longer before ending the call .
Once Wynn returned to the private room , Patricia immediately asked , “ What did Trevor say ? ”
“ He said he’ll mediate the situation from his side , but he wasn’t certain if he could make Matthias give up on terminating the contract . ”
Compared to this , Lilian actually cared more about something else . “ Did he make any comment about this incident ? ”
After all , the autonomous vehicle project wasn’t as important as Trevor . The only thing that mattered was that he still loved Wynn .
Lilian didn’t have to spell it out for Wynn , though .
At this point , a warm , fuzzy feeling rose in Wynn’s chest . She said , “ Trevor calmed me down and told me that he will help solve this for me . He didn’t reprimand me at all . ”
Lilian heard what Wynn said and instantly felt relieved . Erin and Patricia also let out a sigh of relief .
Linda’s mood also improved . “ I knew it . Trev loves you deeply . He would never have stopped having feelings for you or lecture you over something this trivial . ”
Naturally , Wynn was happy that Trevor loved her this much . However , she had lost both dignity and money today .

She responded nonchalantly , “ Let’s put the thing between Trevor and me aside . Linda , I don’t want something like this to happen again in the future . Got it ? ”
Wynn had never been this solemn before . Linda felt the hair on the back of her neck stand , and she shrank back . “ U -Understood . I promise I will think before I speak . ”
