As she spoke , Celeste stopped looking ; at him and turned to leave .

He glanced at the caller ID and paused , watching as Celeste got into her car . Then be answered the call . Matthias had intended to stop Trevor when he saw him move toward Celeste , but seeing Trevor give up on his own , he shot him a glance , let out a cold snort , and got inte Celeste’s car .
Matthias hadn’t really caught what Trevor and Celeste had just been talking about . After getting in the car , he asked . “ Where did he want you to go ? ”
Celeste told him about Martha’s upcoming birthday celebration .
Matthias genuinely hadn’t known about that . The Yoder family and the Fleming family didn’t have particularly close ties , but since Martha’s birthday was being arranged grandly , the Yoder family would probably receive an invitation : He just didn’t visit his family often , so he wasnaware .
After hearing it , he said , “ You’re right not to go . ” Then he frowned . “ Didn’t he already bring Wynn to the Fleming manor to meet the family ? He’ll probably take her to the birthday banquet too . If that’s the case , why ask you to attend as well ? Wouldn’t it make more sense if you didn’t go ? ”
Celeste had wondered about that too . But since she no longer cared about Trevor or Wynn , and didn’t expect to have anything to do with Trevor again , she hadn’t thought too deeply about it , even though it seemed strange .
Matthias paused and then added , “ Could it be that when he brought Wynn to the Fleming manor , the family didn’t approve of their relationship ? And now he’s banking on the fact that Mrs. Fleming Senior likes and values you – so he’s thinking if you give your blessing , Mrs. Fleming Senior and the others might stop being biased and accept Wynn , letting them be together smoothly ? ”
Celeste fell silent for a moment . “ Maybe . ”
Matthias let out a cold laugh . “ No wonder he’s suddenly willing to humble himself to come looking for you . He sure knows how to calculate things . ”
Celeste didn’t respond . She focused on driving
Elsewhere , after chatting briefly , Trevor ended the call .
Jorge hadn’t left . When he saw Trevor put his phone away , be hesitated and asked , “ Was that Ms. Locket ? ”
Trevor gave a faint smile . “ Yes . ” He slipped his phone into his pocket and looked at him . “ Mr. Robinson , do you have agy plans later ? Want to grab a bite together ? ”
Jorge paused , glanced at Trevor , and then agreed . “ Sure . ”
More than half an hour later , Trevor and Jorge arrived at a restaurant . Trevor smiled . “ Yesterday I heard from Mr. Locket that you agreed to talk about a new project with him in the next few days ? ”
Jorge immediately realized he was referring to Wynn’s father , Harvey Locket . He had already heard that Trevor paid a lot of attention to the Locket family , but he hadn’t expected Trevor to be this well – informed about their affairs .
He replied coolly , “ That’s true . ”
Trevor said , “ I’m actually quite interested in this project myself . I wonder if you could tell me more about it ? ”

Hearing that , lorge immediately understood that Trevor wasn’t interested in the project itself . He was just worried Jorge might take advantage of the Locket family . Otherwise , Trevor wouldn’t have brought up Harvey first before mentioning the project . If he were truly curious about the business , he would have asked directly about Jorge’s company and the plan .
He would take advantage of the Locket family ? Jorge gave old chuckle . But he didn’t say that aloud . Instead , he calmly replied , “ Sorry , Mr. Fleming . That project is still under wraps for now , so I can’t say much . I hope you’ll understand . ”
