Chapter : 605
Beck was, of course, there that night for Celeste.
When he saw her, his gaze fell on her face, and he said gently, “Long time no see.”
They had actually met just last month at a government-hosted conference for corporate representatives. Celeste didn’t think it had been that long.
But since he put it that way, she smiled and replied, “Long time no see.”
She and Trevor were not officially divorced yet. Seeing that the look on Celeste’s face toward him was one that was more than just a business partner, yet not quite that of a friend, Beck lowered his eyes and smiled.
He only talked to her about work matters, and in order not to disturb her too much, he didn’t say a single unnecessary word.
Celeste was quite busy. After chatting with Beck for a while, she left with Matthias to speak with other people.
Beck watched her back, his gaze lingering for a long time before he finally looked away.
Celeste remained focused on work and barely paid any attention to Wynn and her companions.
But Wynn and her group had most of their attention fixed on her.
Matthias was currently a highly sought-after, eligible bachelor. There were countless women at the event who wanted to get close to him, but he basically gave none of them the chance, staying almost inseparably by Celeste’s side.
Seeing this, Linda and Ruby felt sour inside, yet they had to admit that Matthias truly cared a great deal about Celeste.
Lilian’s hand gripping her wine glass tightened slightly, imperceptibly.
When the banquet was about to end, as Celeste and Matthias were leaving, her gaze brushed past Wynn and her group before she indifferently looked away, not sparing them another glance.
But in Linda’s eyes, that look was full of contempt and smugness.
Linda was furious. “What does she have to be smug about? Let’s see how long she can stay smug!”
Matthias was utterly devoted to her, and Trevor’s attention was now also on her. Watching them grow anxious and unsettled because Trevor’s heart seemed to be shifting toward Celeste-
How could Celeste not feel smug?
If Wynn failed to win Trevor’s heart back, Celeste would only become even more smug.
When they left the banquet, Linda and the rest all looked unhappy.
After returning home, seeing their expressions, Patricia sensed something was wrong. After

heart sank little by little.
Ever since Trevor got together with Wynn,
hey had effortlessly obtained
things they had spent half a lifetime scheming for and still failed to get.
If Trevor were really taken back by Celeste-
Patricia pressed her lips tightly together.
Previously like Ruby and the others, she had believed Trevor’s feelings for Wynn were deep, thinking that as long as Wynn took the initiative a Tittle, there would be no room left för Celeste.
She didn’t expect-
Patricia looked at Wynn. “Wynn, when it comes to Trevor… You need to put more effort into it.”
She believed that Trevor still had deep feelings for her.
But she also knew that Wynn had been contacting Trevor recently, yet Trevor had kept refusing to see her, citing work.
Continuing to be this passive was extremely unfavorable for them.
How could Wynn not know this?
She clenched her hands tightly.
In fact, she was even more anxious than they were.
The next morning, Wynn appeared at Fleming Group.
At that moment, Trevor was in his office reviewing documents. When he saw her, he paused slightly. “Why are you here?”
Wynn smiled faintly. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. I just wanted to come and see you.”
After speaking, she glanced at the documents in his hands and asked, “Are you very busy?”
Trevor closed the file and said, “Yes, I have a meeting soon.”
Wynn smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’ll wait for you.”
