Chapter 801

Trevor had once again spoken up for Celeste, leaving Miles, Wynn, Lilian, and the others even more stunned.

Wynn stared blankly at Trevor.

Narcissa was equally shocked. She had never expected Trevor to take Celeste’s side at such a crucial moment.

But then…

She looked at Celeste as if she suddenly thought of something and broke into a smile. She began clapping sarcastically, her expression full of mock admiration.

“I was wondering why you suddenly brought the child over earlier. So, that’s what this was? Using your daughter to manipulate her father?

“Even your own daughter is fair game for you. Ms. Rodriguez, you really know how to play your cards-and you’re ruthless, too. I admit defeat. Hahaha!”

The moment Narcissa said this, everyone immediately understood what she was implying.

“So, Mr. Fleming defended Celeste just now because their daughter was here?”

“Probably. I’ve heard Mr. Fleming absolutely dotes on his daughter. He usually keeps her by his side, too. No matter how terrible Celeste might be, she’s still his daughter’s mother. Mr. Fleming probably doesn’t want his daughter to find out that her mother is supposedly that kind of person. He doesn’t want it to affect the child’s upbringing.”

“But that means Ms. Locket is the one who’s being sacrificed.”

“Exactly. She already spent all these years carrying the ‘other woman’ label because Mr. Fleming couldn’t get a divorce. And now, between his daughter and Ms. Locket, he’s chosen his daughter again…”

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

After hearing Narcissa’s words, Quentin and Jorge naturally understood what she meant as well. They then looked at Celeste with cold eyes. It seemed they had underestimated just how shameless and ruthless Celeste could be.

At the same time, Quentin felt even more sorry for Wynn.

He had heard before that Trevor doted on the daughter he had with his ex-wife. He also knew that Wynn had a good relationship with the girl.

But he’d never expected Trevor to put Wynn at the centre of such a public storm at such a critical moment simply for the sake of protecting his daughter.

Miles had also bought Narcissa’s explanation. “I knew there had to be a reason Trevor suddenly acted so out of character. So it was for Jo.”

Even though Trevor had always been very generous toward Wynn, in Miles’s eyes, Jordyn was still the most important person in his life. Whenever something happened, Trevor almost always put Jordyn first.

So, to him, it made perfect sense that Trevor would do this for his daughter.

Beck pressed his lips together. “Maybe… Trevor really meant what he said?”

To be honest, he wasn’t surprised

that Trevor had chosen Jordyn over Wynn. But he now believed that Celeste hadn’t been responsible for what had happened back then.

And he also believed Celeste would never use her own child to pressure Trevor into defending her.

Miles stared at him. “Huh? What do you mean?”

Beck didn’t answer. He simply kept his eyes on Trevor. For some reason, he found

himself unable to figure out what Trevor was thinking right now.

Xavier couldn’t help chiming in.

“Well, I always thought Mr. Fleming treated Ms. Locket pretty well.

didn’t expect him to choose his

daughter when it really mattered

Ms. Locket’s kind of pitiful

Jorge’s expression was cold.

Hearing the murmurs around them, Linda and her family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So did Wynn. The hands she’d been gripping tightly slowly relaxed.

Narcissa looked at Celeste and Matthias and gave a mocking smile. “The truth can’t be faked. Ms. Rodriguez, Mr. Yoder, do you two have anything else to say?”
