Chapter :559

That day, Celeste and Matthias worked late before finally leaving

the office.

When Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence, she spent

some time chatting with Betty. Just as she went upstairs,

several new messages from Jordyn popped up on her phone.

When she opened them, she saw that they were all photos. In

‘the pictures were not only Jordyn but also Trevor, Beck, and

After the photos, Jordyn sent a voice message.

“Mom, I’m out at the hot springs with Dad and the others! What

are you doing, Mom?”

Celeste replied, “I’m about to take a shower. Have fun,

sweetheart.”

After sending that, she set her phone aside and went to shower.

Once she finished, she read for a while and did some research.

By the time she started feeling tired and was getting ready to

sleep, her phone pinged again.

Celeste glanced at it and saw another message from Jordyn.

She opened it. It was another photo, taken indoors this time. In

the center of the image were three straw dragonflies.

But besides the dragonflies, the photo also captured a handbag

and a suit jacket.

Both were laid neatly on the bed, side by side. +

Celeste recognized the bag—she had seen Wynn carrying it

before. It was a limited-edition Hermés, priced well into seven

Jordyn probably hadn’t noticed those details and sent another

voice message. “Mom, Dad and Mr. Harper made these

dragonflies for me! Aren’t they pretty?”

Celeste casually replied, ‘Mm, they’re beautiful.”

Jordyn must’ve been in high spirits, because she suddenly called

through voice chat.

Celeste hesitated for a moment, then answered.

“Mom!”

Just as Celeste was about to speak, Trevor’s voice came

through faintly in the background

“Still not showering?”

“Wait a minute, Dad. I want to talk to Mom first.”

Trevor chuckled. “Alright.”

Before Jordyn could say more, Wynn’s voice suddenly chimed in,

“Jo? Didn’t you say you were going to shower? Why haven’t you

gone yet?” 5

Maybe because she knew Celeste disliked Wynn, Jordyn

abruptly fell silent. 1

Celeste spoke up then, her tone calm, “It’s getting late,

sweetheart. You really should go shower now. We’ll talk another

Jordyn’s voice dropped, disappointed but obedient. “Okay…”

Then the call ended.

They had said they’d talk next time, but over the next two days,

Jordyn didn’t call Celeste again. 5

On Saturday night, Zachary happened to be off work

That evening, Celeste went to a restaurant to meet Zachary,

Nadine, and Matthias. She had just arrived when Matthias also

But as they got out of their cars, they spotted the Lockets and

the Shaws too. 1

When Linda saw Celeste, she immediately thought of how

Trevor had missed the divorce decision period yet again

because of “work”. 1

It meant that the divorce between Trevor and Celeste still wasn’t

finalized, and it made her mood sour.

With a cold snort, she looped her arm through Lilian’s and said

loudly, “Aunt Lizzy, your wedding anniversary with Uncle Harvey

is coming up soon, isn’t it? He’s running late today because he

went to pick up the custom-made gift he ordered for you. 2

“Lheard it’s worth at least ten million this time! He really loves

you and never forgets to spoil you every year.” 2

Celeste’s face remained expressionless. Matthias’s eyes,

however, darkened with restrained anger.

Just then, a car pulled into the lot.

The doors opened, and Trevor and Wynn stepped out. 1

Linda’s face lit up smugly. She raised her voice, practically

calling across the parking lot, “Wynn! Trev! You’re here!” 20
