Chapter 800

From the moment Narcissa stepped forward, Celeste already knew what she was going to say.

Her expression remained calm the entire time. She didn’t stop Narcissa from speaking, but she also had no interest in listening.

Instead, she focused on the little girl who had suddenly appeared.

While Narcissa continued speaking to the crowd, Celeste bent down and calmly said

to Jordyn, “Jo, it’s pretty noisy here. Why don’t you go back first?”

Jordyn had arrived halfway through the incident and had no idea what exactly had happened. She only understood bits and pieces of Narcissa’s words and the whispers around them.

Hearing Celeste, she shook her head. “No, Mom. I’m not leaving. I want to go home with you when the banquet is over.”

Celeste frowned slightly.

But Jordyn’s attention was no longer on her. When she noticed Matthias looking at her, she turned to him as well.

Of course, she had met Matthias before. It had just been quite a long time since they last saw each other.

Seeing this, Celeste gently patted her head and introduced them. “This is Mr. Matthias. Say hello.”

Jordyn obediently greeted him. “Mr. Matthias.”

Looking at Jordyn, Matthias’s emotions were complicated. But when she called him, he still nodded. “Good girl.”

Celeste also noticed Hannah standing not far away, looking uncertain whether she should come over. She said again, “Jo, go back with Hannah first—”

Narcissa’s words had been full of mockery and righteous indignation.

The surrounding guests had pointed fingers and whispered among themselves.

Everyone, including Narcissa, thought Celeste would panic. They thought she would be frightened, desperately trying to explain herself.

But instead, Celeste remained completely calm. Her attitude was almost as if this

had nothing to do with her as if Narcissa’s accusations weren’t worth her attention at all.

Seeing this, Narcissa’s expression darkened.

Quentin also looked unhappy.

The guests began whispering again.

Xavier couldn’t help exclaiming, “Seriously, I’ve seen everything now. She’s being attacked from every direction, and she can still act as if nothing happened. I have to admit that mental strength is impressive.”

Jorge frowned but said nothing.

Watching Celeste’s calm demeanor, Narcissa sneered. Then she spoke sarcastically. “Ms. Rodriguez, why are you in such a hurry to send the child away? Are you afraid she hear about your disgusting behav refuse to acknowledge you as her mother?”

At first, Narcissa had also been confused about why Jordyn suddenly appeared. She thought Jordyn had been brought here by Celeste as a way to save herself

But now, she believed Jordyn had been brought by Trevor. The purpose was to let

the child finally see what kind of person Celeste really was.

Before Celeste could respond, Matthias let out a cold laugh. But he didn’t bother addressing Narcissa.

Instead, he looked directly at Trevor and spoke coldly, “Mr. Fleming, you heard what Ms. Lackspur said just now, didn’t you?

“However, everything needs evidence. Since Ms. Lackspur made such serious accusations, she must have proof. Mr. Fleming, don’t you agree?”

The moment he said this, everyone’s attention shifted to Trevor.

Wynn looked at him as well.

Trevor answered calmly, “That’s not what happened.”

The moment those words left his mouth, everyone froze. Not only the guests. Even Celeste, Matthias, Miles, and Beck were stunned.

Wynn was the most shocked of all. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Trevor.

Lilian and the others reacted the same way. They stood frozen, staring at him in shock.

Even Narcissa and Quentin were stunned.

Jorge’s expression changed while Xavier looked completely confused.

Celeste stared at Trevor. She paused slightly, but she still said nothing.

After recovering from his surprise, Matthias’s expression remained unchanged. He fixed his gaze on Trevor and asked, “Oh? What do you mean?”

Trevor replied, “She was dragged into this because of me. It had nothing to do with her. Otherwise, we never would have gotten married.”
