ANMELDENJorge had a fairly good relationship with Zachary and Kael, but they didn't get the chance to gather privately often.So, since both Celeste and Matthias had been included this time, it was only logical for Theodore to bring Jorge along as well.After all, having more opportunities to interact with people like Zachary and Kael would only benefit Jorge. Yet, Theodore hadn't even mentioned it to him.If someone hadn't posted news of their gathering online, Jorge would never even find out about it.It wasn't just Xavier, but even Jorge himself couldn't figure out the reason.Could it be that Celeste and Matthias had spoken badly about him in front of Zachary, causing him and the others to dislike him? That was why his father didn't bring him along.But no matter what, he was still Theodore's son.He also knew that he would bicker with his father occasionally.However, if Celeste and Matthias had truly badmouthed him in front of Zachary and the others, Theodore would never actually
While Celeste was gathering with Zachary and the others, Narcissa and Wynn were also out socializing.Narcissa put down her phone after reading the news online and said in a tone full of resentment, "No wonder she's clinging to Matthias and trying every possible way to stop you from getting close to Matthias and Zachary."Getting close to Matthias comes with so many benefits."To be honest, the Lackspur family was quite good. But even so, influential figures like Zachary, Kael, and Rowan were people Narcissa had never had the chance to come into contact with.Some netizens were saying that just meeting people like Zachary and Kael once in their lifetime or even exchanging a greeting with them would make it feel like an honor that was worth bragging about.However, in actuality, even Narcissa felt the same way.Celeste's family background was nowhere near hers. Yet because of Matthias, Celeste had effortlessly gotten acquainted with all these people.Furthermore, according to wha
On Monday morning, after Celeste finished a meeting and stepped out of the meeting room, her phone rang.It was a call from Matthias.The moment she answered, Matthias said excitedly, "Cel, the winners of this year's National Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award have been announced—you’re on the list. Congratulations!"Celeste froze for a second before smiling. "Alright, I'll check the official website in a bit."News of Celeste's award quickly spread throughout the company as well.Before Celeste even had the chance to look it up herself, Kieran and the others had already come over one after another to congratulate her.Wynn and her family also found out about Celeste's win almost immediately.At first, the Lockets and Shaws didn't really understand what this award meant. It wasn't until they saw netizens praising Celeste and learned just how prestigious the award was that they started feeling rather uncomfortable.Furthermore, while discussing Celeste's win, m
That afternoon, Trevor called Jordyn after she had finished her competition. "Are you done with the match? How did it go?"Holding her water bottle and drinking from it, Jordyn happily replied, "First place! I've advanced!""Good."Trevor smiled, then added, "Your grandpa is already home now. Come back to Nana's place for dinner tonight.""Okay."They didn't chat for long and hung up soon.Jordyn turned to Celeste after the call and said, "Mom, Dad asked us to go back to Nana's place for dinner tonight. Let's go back now."Jordyn had put the call on speaker just now, so Celeste had heard everything.Trevor had only told Jordyn to go back to the manor. He hadn't mentioned Celeste at all.If he had intended to invite her too, he would have said something like, "Tell your mom to come with you tonight."But he hadn't.So, Celeste calmly said, "I already have plans tonight, so I won't be going."Celeste often had her own things to deal with. So, Jordyn didn't dwell on it, althou
Wynn nodded.Trevor then got into the car.Soon, the car slowly pulled away.Jordyn hadn't come to the hospital today to pick up Lincoln. Martha had naturally noticed that from the very beginning.It was just that she had been too angry to question Trevor about it earlier. Today was Lincoln's discharge day, and it was also a Saturday. Logically, Jordyn shouldn't have been absent. And there was only one likely reason if she wasn't here.Martha got even angrier as she thought of that while in the car. She turned to Trevor with obvious fury."You brought her here but didn't even tell Jo that her grandfather's getting discharged today?"Trevor remained calm. "Jo went to participate in a fencing tournament. It was scheduled long ago."Martha choked on her words. But soon after, she let out a cold snort. "If Jo had been here today, that would've worked out perfectly for you."Her meaning was simple.If Jordyn had been present, it would've been harder for her to openly criticize W
On Monday, after dropping Jordyn off at school, Celeste went to meet Quincy and his team to discuss work matters.By the time she and Kieran arrived, Trevor was already there as well.Seeing them, Trevor greeted them politely.They met twice more over the next few days, but as before, they only discussed work. Other than that, they had no personal interaction whatsoever.Lincoln had been recovering well over the past few days. By Saturday, arrangements had already been made for him to be discharged and continue recuperating at home.Martha was overjoyed and personally went to the hospital to pick him up. But the moment she pushed open the door, she saw Wynn inside.Wynn and Trevor had also just arrived. She handed the flowers in her hands to Lincoln. "Mr. Fleming, congratulations on your discharge. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery as well."Lincoln wasn't particularly fond of Wynn either. But he couldn't help the fact that his son liked her.From the time of his accident until
