Chapter 822
Since neither Celeste nor Velotra offered any way in, there was only one option left.
Linda bit her lip and asked, “It’s been a full day since last night, but there’s still been no word from Trev. Wynn, could it be that he—”
“No news is good news,” Lilian said calmly.
“Exactly.” After what had happened, Lennox had also rushed over from Youtopia.
“News of the trouble with the family business is all over the Internet. Everyone is watching us and Trevor. If he steps in to help us right now, it won’t just affect him. The entire Fleming family will be dragged into it.
“So, after weighing everything, Trevor not helping us right now is actually the best way to minimize the damage.”
Linda grew anxious. “But if he doesn’t help us, won’t our company really be finished? And we’ll be buried in debt…”
Lennox glanced at her. “With Trevor around, what are you worried about?”
Linda stiffened. At that moment, even she understood what Lennox meant.
As long as Trevor was there, even if they lost Locket Tech, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting back on their feet. After all, Trevor was famously generous when it came to Wynn.
The thought immediately sent a jolt through Linda, and she brightened up. However
“But he hasn’t replied to Wynn at all since last night. What if he really-” What if he really intended to break up with Wynn?
Lilian said calmly, “He’s under a lot of pressure right now. Aside from work, there are probably plenty of people around Trevor urging him to break up with Wynn.”
Lennox picked up where she left off. “And yet, if Trevor can withstand all that pressure and still stand by us, how is that not a good thing for us?”
It was only then that Linda and Ruby finally understood. They finally calmed down a little.
Lilian looked at Wynn. “If Trevor still hasn’t responded by tomorrow, try contacting him again the day after.”
Wynn nodded. “I know.”
She glanced at her phone again as she spoke.
The group chat was still completely silent. Beck and Miles still hadn’t said a word. And they hadn’t personally contacted her since last night either.
…
The next day, after returning to YodaVision for a meeting, Celeste went to Fleming Group with Kieran and the other engineers.
Although the news about what had happened at Philip’s banquet had already been taken down, quite a few people had witnessed everything the night before.
It was only now that everyone at Fleming Group learned that Celeste and Trevor were actually connected in this way.
When Lazarus and the others first saw the news, it felt almost surreal-like they were dreaming. And now, seeing Celeste in person…
The smiles on their faces told Celeste immediately that they already knew what had happened over the past couple of days But she simply said, “Let’s get started with the meeting.”
Lazarus cleared his throat. “Of course.”
Since Celeste wasn’t bringing it up, naturally, no one else dared to either. They hurriedly pretended to organize their things and headed into the conference room.
During the meeting, even more
people than before took the initiative
to approach Celeste to discuss matters. After all, even before they knew she was Zachary’s student, they had already considered her exceptionally capable. .net
Now that they knew she was Zachary’s student, they couldn’t help but feel incredibly honored whenever they thought about how they had actually been able to work and learn alongside one of Zachary’s students.
After a busy day, Celeste returned to the Rodriguez family home for dinner.
The moment she arrived, she noticed a car parked outside that clearly didn’t belong to the Rodriguez family.
