Ruby immediately smiled and said , “ Isn’t this Cel ? Long time no see . You’re getting more and more beautiful . ”
“ Mom … ” Hearing Ruby compliment Celeste , Linda was displeased .
She had always known that Celeste was beautiful , but after not seeing her for a few years , she didn’t expect her to be even more stunning .
Looking at Celeste’s smooth , delicate skin and outstanding temperament , jealousy surged in Linda’s heart .
However , she quickly consoled herself – so what if Celeste was beautiful ? Her future brother – in – law didn’t like her anyway . He only loved her sister , Wynn .
With that thought , she felt a little better .
Harvey looked over and said , “ Ruby , what brings you here ? ”
“ We hadn’t seen you in a while , Uncle Harvey , so we came to check on you , ” Linda interjected .
Then , she noticed the open brocade box the store owner had just displayed . So , she deliberately raised her voice and said , “ Uncle Harvey , is this the wedding anniversary gift you customized for Aunt Lizzy ? It’s so beautiful ! ”
Harvey smiled . “ Yes . ”
“ Every year on your anniversary , you always prepare an expensive gift in advance to surprise Aunt Lizzy . Uncle Harvey , you’re so good to her ! ”
Harvey chuckled lightly .
By now , Lottie had a good idea of who Harvey and the other two were .
“ So , they’re a bunch of scumbags , ” she muttered under her breath . She quickly settled the bill , grabbed Celeste’s hand , and turned to leave . ( 1
“ Cel . ” Harvey stopped Celeste and walked over . “ Lizzy truly cares about you . She’s always thinking of you . You and Wynn are sisters ; you’re family . Regarding what happened with YodaVision , I hope nothing like that happens again- ”
Celeste laughed coldly . “ Are you trying to annoy me on purpose ? ”
“ You … ”
“ Uncle Harvey , just let her be . Not that it matters anyway – my sister wouldn’t want to acknowledge her either . What level is she even at ? Does she deserve to be Wynn’s sibling ? ”
Linda sneered and looked at Celeste . “ You must feel so smug for keeping my sister out of YodaVision , right ? But did you know ? The more you go against her , the more Trev feels for her .
“ You see , as soon as he found out that you and that boss of YodaVision bullied her , he immediately went to cause trouble for YodaVision . 1
“ Although things didn’t go exactly as planned and he couldn’t make a move against YodaVision in the end , to make up for Wynn’s grievances , Trev gave us an amazing project worth billions .
“ And guess what ? That project was something your uncle had been begging to get for ages . Hahaha … ”
Celeste pressed her lips together , clenching her fists .
Lottie was furious and scoffed . “ Has Trevor married Wynn yet ? You’re addressing him so intimately before they’re

even married – how shameless ! ”
“ You ! ”
“ Enough , Linda . ” Harvey held Linda back .
Then , he sighed and said to Celeste , “ Cel , Wynn is a genius in the Al field . She has important work to do at YodaVision . You need to stop being petty and stop targeting her . ”
“ Are you done ? ” Celeste’s gaze was ice – cold . “ If you are , then get lost . ”
Ruby , who had remained silent until now , added fuel to the fire . “ Cel , how can you talk to your father like that ? ”
Linda chimed in , “ Exactly ! You have manners at all ! ”
Celeste’s voice was frigid . “ Yes . I’m not as well – mannered as all of you , who are mistresses . ”
“ You- ”
“ Enough . ” Seeing that Celeste was stubborn , Harvey was deeply disappointed . “ Let’s go . ”
“ Hmph ! ”
Harvey took his customized gift and quickly left with Ruby and Linda .
