Chapter 49
Trevor didn’t show up for a long time , which made Martha angry and Jordyn unhappy .
Celeste , however , remained calm as if nothing had happened . She peacefully made tea for Martha and said , ” Maybe something urgent came up , and he couldn’t get away . ”
Martha was in a bad mood and went to bed early that night
Jordyn called Trevor several times , but no one answered .
The next morning , when Celeste woke up , there was no one beside her . Jordyn had disappeared somewhere .
After washing up , Celeste left her room and looked around , but she couldn’t find her .
When she asked , she found out that since Trevor hadn’t come , Jordyn had found the place boring and asked someone to take her down the mountain early in the morning to play .
Meanwhile , Martha had caught a cold from the night breeze and had a severe headache in the middle of the night . She had already returned to Fleming Manor before Celeste woke up .
Since she didn’t want to disturb Celeste’s rest , she hadn’t informed her right away .
For now , besides the staff , Celeste was the only one left in the large hot spring retreat .
Actually , even if Jordyn had found the place boring , she could have waited for Celeste to wake up and asked her to take her out .
By leaving so quietly without a word , Celeste figured it wasn’t because Jordyn was afraid of waking her up .
It was more likely she had received news about Trevor and had gone to meet him and Wynn .
Jordyn probably sneaked off early because she was worried Celeste would stop her from going .
The weather wasn’t great today , and it was raining as well . However , since the hot spring was covered , enjoying the scenery and reading while soaking in the warm water still had its charm .
Besides , she quite enjoyed having time to herself . She could focus on her own things .
So , even though she was left alone , Celeste stayed at the hot spring retreat .
On Sunday afternoon , Celeste planned to have dinner before heading home . Just then , she received a call from
Martha .
“ Cel , I called Trevor this morning and asked him to pick you up from the hot spring retreat tonight . Has he contacted you ? ”
No , he hadn’t .
He had promised to come , but up until this moment , he hadn’t shown up . He hadn’t even called her once .
Neither had Jordyn , who had snuck away yesterday .
But Celeste had no intention of telling Martha that . She didn’t want to face the hassle . So , she simply replied , “ Yes .

Hearing that , Martha was relieved . “ That’s good . ”
After checking on Martha’s health , Celeste ended the call .

In the evening , after the sun had set , Celeste had dinner at the retreat .

Martha had said Trevor would pick her up . But even after waiting until nearly 9:00 pm , he still hadn’t appeared .
The hot spring retreat was quite far from her home – it would take over an hour and a half to get back .
Celeste didn’t want to wait any longer . So , she asked a staff member to arrange a car to take her home .
Once in the car , she started feeling drowsy .
She wasn’t sure how long she had slept when suddenly , her phone rang , waking her up . It was Lottie calling .
Celeste answered , “ Lottie ? ”
“ Oh my god ! That bitch ! ”
Celeste paused , and Lottie quickly added , “ Not you , I’m cursing someone else . ”
“ What happened ? ”
“ I had a charity gala to attend tonight , right ? Guess who I saw there – your scumbag dad and Wynn ! ” Lottie sounded furious .
“ Some lady at the gala called Wynn a homewrecker for stealing her fiancé and threw red wine all over her . It was a total mess .
“ That lady came from a well – to – do family , so she wouldn’t let it go easily . It caused quite a scene , and I was enjoying the drama . But then – your husband showed up ! ”
Celeste froze .
Lottie gritted her teeth and continued , “ This was a high – profile charity gala with a star – studded lineup , and it was being livestreamed !
“ Wynn and the others may not be celebrities , but the moment he stepped in to support Wynn and personally took her away , the cameras caught everything ! ”
Lottie then sent Celeste the livestream video .
Celeste opened it and watched .

The gala featured live performances from celebrities , making it quite noisy . The camera was far away , so she couldn’t hear what was being said clearly .
But the footage clearly captured the entire moment when the lady confronted Wynn , argued with her , and finally splashed red wine all over her .
