Chapter 53

Author: Cloudsearcher
Matthias glanced at Celeste and, sensing that Cole seemed to look down on Wynn, asked, "Mr. Turner, do you have a grudge against the Locket family?"

Cole shook his head. "I wouldn't call it a grudge, but… Stella Smith—the lady who had an argument with Ms. Locket last night—is the daughter of an old friend of mine.

"I've known her since she was little. She can be a bit impulsive, but she's not unreasonable.

"Her fiancé, that kid from the Lowe family, John, got quite close to another girl two years ago—so much so that he was on the verge of breaking off his engagement with Stella.

"But then, somehow, that girl ended up getting acquainted with Trevor, and suddenly, she and John weren't in contact anymore…"

From Cole's words, the implication was clear. Wynn had previously interfered in Stella's relationship with her fiancé. However, after Wynn managed to climb to a higher status, she withdrew herself.

But what really frustrated Cole wasn't the past—it was last night's incident at the

    "It's fine, Grandma," Celeste said. "I still have some work to finish. So, I'll skip dinner."Of course, it wasn't really about work—she simply didn't want to stay here any longer than necessary.Technically, since she and Trevor weren't divorced yet, she was still part of the Fleming family, so there was no real reason for her to avoid staying.But in Celeste's mind, ever since they decided to divorce, she had already started drawing a line between herself and Trevor.Martha understood that much.Since Celeste insisted, she didn't press further. Instead, she shot Trevor a sharp glare.Trevor pretended not to notice. Looking at Celeste, he said, "I'll drive you.""No need," Celeste declined. "You're busy. Let the driver take me."Trevor didn't insist. "Alright."Celeste went back to the room, grabbed her bag, and got ready to leave.Both Martha and Trevor walked her downstairs.That was when Jordyn realized her mother was leaving. She clung to her, unwilling to part. "Mom, y

    After Celeste measured her temperature, she forced herself to stay awake for a while, but Trevor never came back. Before long, she drifted off to sleep again.When she opened her eyes the next time, Trevor was still sitting there reading.Seeing her awake and staring blankly in his direction without really looking at him, Trevor stood up and went over. He then touched her sweat-soaked forehead."What is it?" he asked.It had actually been a long time since they'd had any physical contact.Celeste wasn't used to his touch.Although she knew he was only checking her temperature, she still brushed his hand away and shook her head silently.She was just surprised he was still there. She had thought he'd left the manor after taking that phone call earlier.She broke out in another heavy sweat, but finally, the fever showed signs of receding.Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, she changed into another clean set of clothes. After eating and resting for a while, she fell asleep again.

    Peter had just turned to leave when Trevor brought Celeste's phone over from Jordyn's room.Taking it from his hand, Celeste didn't lift her head, only said softly, "Thank you."Trevor said nothing.Celeste got out of bed, intending to go to Jordyn's room to wash up.Seeming to read her intention, Trevor stood there, watching her before he spoke, "There's a toothbrush and cup here too."Celeste's steps paused. Since she had already rested here, washing up here didn't seem to make much difference.After a brief hesitation, she turned and went into Trevor's bathroom.While she was brushing her teeth, Bill arrived.After she was done washing up, Bill examined and carefully asked about her condition. Then, while setting up an IV drip for her, he also gave Trevor detailed instructions on what to watch out for in the days ahead.After Bill left, Trevor brought over the soup that Peter had prepared.Celeste hesitated briefly before reaching out to take it. "Thank you.""It's okay."

    By the time Celeste finished her work, it was already past ten.Autumn had set in, and with the rain these past couple of days, the temperature had dropped quite a bit.Maybe it was because she'd been sitting in front of the computer for too long and caught a chill, a sudden shiver ran through her body, and she sneezed several times in a row just as she closed her laptop and stood up to take a shower.After she washed up and came out of the bathroom, her nose had already started running, and there was a dry, burning sensation in her throat.Realizing she might be coming down with a cold, and knowing that at this hour the servants at the manor would already be asleep, Celeste went downstairs herself to make some tea to ease her cold.She finished the tea and had just gone back upstairs when she heard Trevor's voice, "Still awake?"Celeste turned her head. "About to sleep."She had taken some cold medicine downstairs after drinking the tea, so her body felt warmer and a little bet

    With Matthias's help, things weren't really delayed much, even without a computer.But that afternoon, something urgent suddenly came up with Fleming Group, and Celeste had to handle it quickly.At a time like this, not having a computer was a real hassle.Looking at the files sent over from Fleming Group on her phone, Celeste started regretting turning down Trevor's offer of a laptop to her that morning.Still, the matter was urgent…She turned and went upstairs, stopping outside Trevor's study. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally knocked on the door."Come in."Trevor was seated at his desktop, busy with work. Just as Celeste pushed the door open, he happened to look up.Seeing her, he didn't look surprised at all.In fact, before she even said anything, he asked, "Need the computer?"Standing at the door, Celeste replied, "...Yes."Trevor chuckled and nudged the laptop beside him toward her, signaling her to take it.Only then did Celeste walk inside.She didn

    The flood got worse.Although the Fleming Manor hadn't been much affected thanks to its geographical advantage, the cell signal grew unstable once night fell.Based on the heavy rain warning she'd received that afternoon, she might not be able to leave the manor tomorrow to return to YodaVision for work.That evening, after dinner, Celeste reported her safety to the Rodriguez family, then contacted Matthias to let him know she was currently at the Fleming Manor and might not be able to go to work the next morning.Matthias said, "The situation is pretty serious now. YodaVision has already announced that employees can work from home tomorrow. So, don't rush. I'll help you handle anything urgent. Let's get in touch again tomorrow.""Okay."After that, Celeste sat on the floor with Jordyn, playing with some puzzle toys, while Trevor sat on the sofa reading.Over an hour later, Trevor walked over.Celeste didn't look up, but Jordyn did. "Dad? What's up?"Instead of answering his d
