Chapter 699

Jorge had already heard the news that Trevor and Wynn were discussing marriage.

“Ms. Locket, long time no see. I heard that you and Mr. Fleming will be announcing your marriage soon. Congratulations.”

Wynn noticed him the moment he appeared. She smiled at his words, “Thank you.”

His congratulations were sincere but also probing. It was a way to confirm whether the rumors were true.

Now that he heard it directly from her, he felt happy for her. At the same time, a faint trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

After a brief pause, he continued, “I heard your injuries were quite serious. Have you fully recovered?”

“Not completely, but I’m mostly recovered. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Robinson,” Wynn replied.

Jorge nodded. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he made an excuse and left.

The moment he turned around, he saw Matthias and Celeste.

Seeing Celeste there, his expression immediately darkened. But since he had already made eye contact with Matthias, he greeted politely, “Mr. Yoder.”

Matthias nodded coldly. “Mr. Robinson.”

And that was it. He had clearly no intention of saying anything more.

Sensing the coldness, Jorge didn’t push further. Still, he glanced at Celeste a couple of times.

Celeste remained indifferent, acting as if she hadn’t seen him at all.

Recently, he had heard that Trevor had been spending almost every day with Wynn and even bringing along his daughter.

He also hadn’t seen Celeste with Trevor at all lately.

It seemed she had become much more “well-behaved”. Or perhaps she had no choice but to be so.

With that thought, he turned and returned to his seat.

Members of the Lockets and Shaws had naturally noticed Celeste and Matthias as well Sometime ago. When Celeste and trevor’ S relationship seemed to improve, they would grit their teeth in @nger every time they saw her.

But now, when they looked at her, not only did they no longer take her seriously, their eyes were filled with undisguised smugness.

A moment later, Celeste’s phone buzzed. It was another message from an unknown number.

She caught the beginning of the message. “Did you see the bracelet on Wynn’s wrist? Trev…”

She didn’t bother reading further. Then she blocked the number and deleted the message with practiced ease. She already knew what the sender wanted to say without even Finishing the message.

Just moments ago, Linda had deliberately raised her voice, bragging to those around her that it was a gift from Trevor when other socialites were asking about the bracelet.

She said it was a custom piece from a private collector-something Wynn had once seen and liked very much. After Trevor found out, he spent a huge sum to buy it for her just to g make her happy.

When Linda had said it earlier, she had probably been worried that Celeste didn’t hear it. So, she’d sent a message to repeat it.

There were already plenty of people envying Wynn. With that bracelet, even more socialites joined in.

Even though Celeste and Matthias weren’t part of those conversations, all they could hear around them were discussions about the two.

Matthias felt the veins on his forehead twitch as he listened to the constant admiration about how well Trevor treated Wynn.

It was like his ears and brain were being thoroughly polluted. “Oh my god, I’m contaminated.”

He covered his ears and rubbed his temples, looking like he was in pain. “I really shouldn’t have come today.”
