LOGINCodeFlux... In other words, Jorge's company.After Philip's banquet, she and Jorge hadn't seen each other again, nor had they been in contact. When she'd just learned that so many investors wanted to pull out, she'd wondered whether Jorge would also—She asked, "What did CodeFlux say?""Mr. Robinson's secretary said their company will send someone over later to discuss the details of the withdrawal with us."Send someone over…It meant Jorge himself wouldn't be coming. But in the past, Jorge had always handled these negotiations personally.She came back to herself after a moment. "I understand."That afternoon, Wynn was so busy that she barely had time to catch her breath.Harvey and the other family members had also learned about the wave of investors pulling out of InnovaTech.Although InnovaTech was valued at several billion dollars, it hadn't gone public yet. With so many investors withdrawing and its shares frozen, if the company couldn't hold on, all of InnovaTech's val
Celeste hummed in acknowledgement.Matthias understood as well. The reason Celeste wasn't taking the initiative to bring up the divorce at a time like this was actually out of consideration for Martha and Betty.With that in mind, Matthias changed the subject and suddenly smiled. "I made some inquiries. Not only is Velotra determined to fight the Locket family all the way to the end, but I just heard that they've sued InnovaTech as well."Celeste was stunned. "They succeeded?"Matthias nodded. "Yeah. I just heard that InnovaTech's shares have already been frozen."Celeste wasn't particularly surprised that InnovaTech had been dragged into the mess as well. After all, given what she knew about the Lockets and Shaws' way of doing things, once they realized that InnovaTech and Locket Tech had promising futures, it was only natural that other people would want to get a piece of the action too.Under normal circumstances, Matthias and Celeste should have been happy to see both Locke
After the ceremony ended, the parents gradually began leaving. Celeste and Trevor were getting ready to leave as well.Celeste said, "I'm leaving now. If you need anything, call me, okay?"Jordyn nodded. "Okay."Seeing that Celeste seemed to have finished saying goodbye, Trevor gently pinched Jordyn's cheek. "I will come pick you up after school this afternoon, okay?"Jordyn paused and slightly turned her head toward Celeste.Clearly, she wanted to hear Celeste say those words to her instead. However, Celeste happened to have an incoming call and didn't notice her daughter's gaze.Jordyn withdrew her gaze. "Okay."Then she turned back to Celeste. "Mom, you can go ahead and take care of your work. I'll go back to my classroom first. Class is about to start."Celeste smiled. "Okay."Jordyn waved goodbye, and Trevor and Celeste watched her leave.Celeste didn't answer the call earlier, so after seeing Jordyn enter her classroom, she picked up her phone and returned the call."I
After speaking with the teacher, Celeste and Trevor took their seats.As soon as they sat down, quite a few parents came over to greet them and hand them their business cards.Both Celeste and Trevor stood up to shake hands and exchange a few words with them. After they exchanged pleasantries with the other parents for a while, the teacher began organising the students for the opening ceremony.Celeste gently patted Jordyn on the head. "Go ahead."Jordyn nodded and hummed a response. As she answered, she looked at Trevor, then turned to look at Celeste. Of course, she'd noticed that ever since the two of them met, they had barely spoken to each other.At some point, she'd come to think of them as people who hardly ever spoke whenever they happened to meet. It was just that she hadn't paid much attention to it before.Following the teacher's arrangements, Jordyn went to participate in the ceremony.Trevor, Celeste, and the other parents remained where they were, watching the chil
"Of course. I'm free on the first." Celeste hadn't forgotten about her daughter's first day of school.Since Jordyn wanted her to be there for the opening ceremony, Celeste would naturally go if she was available.Hearing that Celeste would be there, Jordyn seemed a little happier. "Then it's a promise, okay?""Okay."Jordyn paused before saying, "Bye, Mom."In the past, after telling Celeste what she wanted to say, Jordyn would usually continue sharing little things about her day or ask if her mother was busy.She wasn't used to simply calling to say what she needed to say and hang up like this. And there was even a slight sense of unfamiliarity in her tone.However, Celeste didn't ask about it. "Okay."With that, she ended the call.That night, Jordyn went to bed early.The next morning, she only spoke to Trevor, who was sitting across from her, after starting to eat her breakfast. "Mom's going to the opening ceremony.""Mm. I know."On the morning of the first, when Trev
Trevor hummed a response.After Teagan finished her comment, she fell silent for a while before changing the subject.After dinner, Tucker sat down beside Trevor. He already knew what had happened at Philip's banquet that night.Although he'd always heard that Trevor had someone he liked outside the family, it wasn't until that banquet that he learned the person was CC, the race car driver he had always idolized.It was only then that he understood why Trevor had refused to get him a signed photo of Wynn to put up in his room.Seeing him sit down beside him, Trevor glanced at him. "What is it?"Tucker hesitated for a moment before saying, "Trevor, I think Celeste is really great."He had indeed been a fan of CC before. But after learning that CC and her mother's family were the very people who had hurt Celeste and the Rodriguez family, he couldn't bring himself to like her anymore.Besides, even if none of that had happened, between Celeste and Wynn, he still preferred Celeste.
