LOGINThe receptionist lowered her voice. "That's Conrad Mercer, the current heir of the Mercer family here in Havenport."So, that was who he was.Although Wynn rarely visited Havenport, she knew a little about its most prominent and powerful families. But only a little.She had heard of Conrad's name before, but this was the first time she had met him in person. Remembering the cold, indifferent look he had given her earlier, she frowned again.However, she had no time to dwell on it. After thanking the receptionist, she called Jacob.Jacob was still asleep. The phone rang for a while before he finally woke up. Seeing that the call was from Wynn, he was somewhat surprised, but answered quickly. "Ms. Locket? It's so early. Is something—"Wynn cut him off and asked directly, "Were you the one who accompanied Trevor on his business trip to Havenport?""No."By then, Jacob had already figured out why she was calling. "Neither was Zeke. Mr. Fleming's itinerary this time was probably arr
"Please take good care of Jo over the next few days."After reading Trevor's message, Celeste didn't reply.…Meanwhile, Wynn only learned that Trevor had gone on a business trip to Havenport after seeing the news online.The trial involving Locket Tech and Velotra was about to begin. If Velotra won the case, they might have to sacrifice almost everything they had, including InnovaTech, just to cover the compensation.Losing InnovaTech wouldn't matter, as long as…After reading the news, Wynn immediately booked a flight to Havenport. She then called Miles.Seeing her call at such a late hour, Miles still answered. "Why are you calling so late? Has something happened?""I'm heading to Havenport now to see Trevor. Do you know which hotel he's staying at and his room number? I want to surprise him."Miles didn't suspect anything. "Oh, I see. I'll make a few calls and find out for you.""Okay. Thank you, Miles."Wynn paused before adding a reminder. "Oh, and please be discreet w
Betty smiled. "I don't think she's lost much weight. She just looks like she's grown into herself a little. She's looking more and more like Cel."Celeste and the family decided to head south, where they planned to explore the scenery and visit famous historical sites.They went white-water rafting, climbed mountains, walked across glass bridges, and took part in local cultural activities. They also sampled plenty of famous local delicacies.After a few days of travelling, Celeste could tell that Jordyn was having a wonderful time. Moreover, she had grown closer to the rest of the Rodriguez family as well.On the evening of the third day, just after they returned to the hotel, Matthias sent Celeste a message. When she opened it, she discovered that he had sent her a screenshot of a news article.The article was about Trevor.Before she had even finished reading the text in the screenshot, Matthias sent another message."I heard he flew to Havenport this time specifically for thi
Matthias couldn't be bothered to discuss the matter any further, so he changed the subject and chatted casually. "The holiday starts tomorrow. Got any plans?"Celeste smiled. "Nothing yet. There's nowhere in particular I want to go, so I'll probably spend a couple of days resting at home first."Matthias nodded. "That sounds good."Celeste didn't have any plans of her own, but…That evening, she called Jordyn while on the way home.The little girl answered almost immediately. "Mom."As she drove, Celeste asked gently, "The Halloween holiday starts tomorrow. Do you have any plans?""No," Jordyn replied softly."I don't have any plans either. Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I can take you."Jordyn hesitated before answering with a soft hum. "Then shall I go and pick you up tomorrow morning?"At that, Jordyn paused, as though she wanted to say something. Celeste noticed and was about to ask what was wrong when the little girl spoke. "Okay. See you tomorrow.""Mm. See you
After she hung up, Lilian asked, "Who was that? What happened?"Wynn briefly explained what had happened. When the Lockets and Shaws heard the news, they were overjoyed.Linda jumped to her feet in excitement, her eyes even reddening with happiness. "I knew it! Trev only loves you! Celeste is nothing compared to you!"Ruby chimed in, "Exactly! No matter how outstanding Celeste is, Trevor never loved her before. There's no way he'll suddenly fall for her now!"Lilian smiled as well.To be honest, she had been utterly shocked to learn that Celeste was both a shareholder of YodaVision and Zachary's student.She had never imagined that Celeste would somehow rise to such heights.Celeste was now the centre of attention, admired by everyone.Seeing how outstanding and successful Celeste had become, Lilian was genuinely worried that Trevor might develop feelings for her. After all, over the past year, his attitude towards Celeste had already changed because of her growing achievements
By the time the banquet ended that evening, Celeste and Trevor still hadn't exchanged a single word.Everyone present had noticed.When the banquet came to an end, Celeste and Matthias left first, with Trevor, Beck, and Miles following behind.That evening, as Beck watched Celeste and Matthias walking away in the distance, he turned to Trevor. "Trevor, about you and Wynn…""I'll handle my own affairs."Trevor's response made it clear that he had already guessed what Beck wanted to say.Miles understood that Trevor had seen through their intentions. But his attitude made it equally clear that he had no interest in listening to their advice.Miles frowned. "Trevor, why don't you at least—""It's getting late. Let's all head home and get some rest."Knowing that there was no point in saying more if Trevor refused to listen, Miles had no choice but to give in. "...Alright."Seeing this, Beck refrained from pressing the matter any further.…Meanwhile, shortly after arriving hom
