LOGINMore than an hour later, Celeste and Jordyn finally arrived at the hotel.After learning that Celeste had arrived, both Matthias and Kieran came downstairs to greet her.Matthias knew that she'd gone to pick up Jordyn, but Kieran didn't. When he saw Jordyn getting out of the car with Celeste, he was stunned for a moment.Celeste gently patted Jordyn's head. "Jo, say hello."Jordyn obediently greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Matthias.""Good girl."Celeste then turned to Kieran."This is one of my colleagues. Say hello to Mr. Gibson."Kieran looked at Jordyn, his feelings complicated.He had actually met Jordyn before, but that had been two or three years ago. She had still been very young then, so she probably didn't remember him anymore.Matthias said to Celeste, "Dinner's about to start. Let's go in.""Okay."Until recently, the people at YodaVision had only heard that Celeste was married and had a child. It was only some time ago that they learned that the man she'd married was
By Friday afternoon, Celeste had finally finished dealing with everything on her schedule.She rubbed her slightly sore shoulders and rested for a while. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she paused and picked up the phone beside her.She called Jordyn, who answered quickly. "Mom."Celeste hummed before asking gently, "Are you out of school?""Yeah."Since the day of Jordyn's first day at her new school, the two of them had only been in touch once, and that had been because Celeste had called her. Celeste hadn't contacted Jordyn these past few days, and Jordyn hadn't reached out to her either.Celeste wasn't surprised by that, nor did she think much of it. No matter what, Jordyn was her daughter. She still felt she should check in on her from time to time.She took the initiative to start a conversation. "Have you made any plans for the next two days? Anywhere you want to go?"Jordyn's voice was calm. "No. Dad went on a business trip. He's not home."Celeste never
After more than an hour had passed, Trevor still hadn't replied to Wynn's messages.After a while, Zeke came over. "Ms. Locket, we're getting ready to leave for the day."It was a polite way of telling her it was time to go.Wynn pressed her lips together and replied calmly, "What if I insist on waiting here?"Zeke sighed. "Please don't make things difficult for us, Ms. Locket."Wynn said nothing, but she didn't say she was leaving either.Zeke had no choice but to make her another cup of tea.Jacob hadn't left yet either. When Zeke came out of the reception room, Jacob asked, "The boss... still cares about Ms. Locket, right?"Although Trevor was refusing to see Wynn for the time being and wasn't answering any of her calls, he hadn't broken up with her either.He knew that Wynn might come to the company looking for him at any time, yet he still allowed her to enter Fleming Group whenever she wanted.And as for the message Wynn had just sent Trevor, Jacob was certain that the
There was a lot to deal with at InnovaTech, and by the time Wynn finally finished, it was already past three in the afternoon.After thinking for a while, she decided to call Jacob again.When Jacob saw her name on his phone, he hesitated for a moment before answering. "Ms. Locket.""Is Trevor at the company?"There was a brief pause. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't tell you."Wynn understood that it meant he was there. If he hadn't been, Jacob would have simply told her so. "I understand. Thank you."After hanging up, she grabbed her car keys and left the company. It wasn't long before she arrived at the entrance of Fleming Group.She looked up at the building and sat in the car for a while. Then she finally opened the door and got out after putting on a mask.There weren't many people around the entrance at this hour. However, the receptionist recognised her immediately, although she was wearing a mask.In the past, Wynn had never worn a mask when she came to Fleming Grou
Wynn and the family were still downstairs and hadn't gone to bed.Seeing Calvin come back downstairs, Lilian asked, "Why are you in such a hurry this late at night? What—"Calvin stopped and looked at them, his eyes red.He interrupted his mother. "Is what I saw online true?"The words Lilian was about to say caught in her throat.Everyone else fell silent for a moment as well.Harvey was already exhausted. But at that moment, he was the only one who could appropriately step forward and respond.He approached Calvin. "Cal, she and I simply weren't compatible. She was stubborn and refused to listen to anyone. She was always unwilling to get a divorce. I separated from her because of our own problems. It wasn't your mother's fault."Erin regarded this grandson of hers very dearly. She gently said, "That's right, Cal. Matters of the heart are complicated. Don't believe everything people say outside."Calvin paused. Then his gaze fell on Wynn.Wynn lowered her eyes, her expressio
Once Calvin came back to his senses, he figured that the part about being "from a mistress's family" was probably just a typo.He chuckled and was about to type and ask his classmate if they'd made a mistake when he glanced at their reply again, and the smile on his face faded slightly.Even if his classmate had made a typo, judging from how aggressive their tone was, whatever they had originally intended to say probably wasn't anything nice.Still, Calvin couldn't help feeling upset. He didn't understand what was going on.They'd gotten along perfectly well at school before. So, why had his classmate suddenly started talking to him like this?Just as he was wondering whether he'd somehow offended them, another message appeared in the group chat."He's from a mistress's family. Do you really think he has the same sense of shame as the rest of us? Before this, he was always praising his sister and mother in front of us like they were the greatest people in the world. He even calle
