Celeste had no idea what Trevor and Jorge talked about . After lunch with Matthias , she returned to the office to continue working
On Wednesday , she received a call from Gideon inviting her ower for dinner that weekend . He added , “ Jo will be there too . ” Celeste paused for a moment and said , “ Alright ”
On Friday afternoon , while Celeste was in a meeting , her phone suddenly rang . Just as she was about to answer , the call ended .
Since she was still in a meeting and the number was unfamblar , she didn’t give it much thought .
The person calling had actually been Janet .
She had officially started working at Harper Corporation on Wednesday .
She had called Celeste to tell her that she had joined the company and would be settling down in Baumond .
But just after dialing , she remembered something Linda had said that Trevor’s friends , like Beck , didn’t like Celeste . No matter how hard she tried to win them over , they never warmed up to her . Yet they had easily accepted Wynn .
If she told Celeste about getting the job at Harper Corporation , Celeste would definitely know Wynn had a hand in it . And if Celeste knew that , she might feel hurt . Thinking of that , Janet hurriedly hung up .
After work , prompted by Lennox , she returned to the Locket residence . She hadn’t even stepped through the door when she saw several unfamiliar luxury cars parked outside the villa .
Before coming to Baumond , she had already heard from Lennox and the others that many elites and powerful families in the city now knew about Wynn’s relationship with Trevor .
Just how good Trevor was to Wynn was practically common knowledge within their circle .
Janet hadn’t really grasped what that meant until she arrived in Baumond herself . Seeing so many high – status people visiting the Locket family every day , asking them for favors , she finally realized just how influential the Locket family had become ,
Learning the identities of those visitors and seeing how , despite their own status , they came in person to connect with Wynn and her family had left Janet stunned .
It was then she truly understood that Trevor’s help to the Locket and Shaw families had been far greater than she had imagined .
However , even when facing those powerful people , Janet saw Lennox speaking cautiously and respectfully , while Wynn remained calm and distant , even actively avoiding them . Yet those people didn’t dare get upset and continued to flatter her .
Seeing the luxury cars in the yard , Janet knew more guests had arrived .
She entered through the side door , went upstairs , and didn’t draw anyone’s attention . Wynn was upstair out for some peace and quiet . When she saw Janet , she looked over and asked , “ Just got off work ? ”
Janet stopped . “ Yeah ”
Since Wynn had already spoken to Beck , she knew Janet getting hired at Harper Corporation wouldn’t be a problem , so she didn’t pay much attention to the matter .

She flipped a page of her book , then , as if remembering something , looked up and asked , “ Did Beck say anything

to you when you met ? ”
Janet , seeing Wynn reading again , couldn’t help but admire how hardworking , she was .

She had even heard that Wynn had been attending some tech conferences recently and caught the attention of several influential figures .
Thinking of this , Janet snapped back to attention and answered , “ I haven’t met Mr. Harper yet . ”
Wynn paused . “ Beck didn’t reach out to you ? ”
“ No , he didn’t . ”
Wynn had thought Beck , upon learning Janet was related to her , would at least meet her once and ask someone to look out for her ..
But then again , if he had done that , it might not have been good for Janet’s Image at work .
Thinking that , she said , “ It’s fine . ”
Janet nodded and didn’t say more before heading back to her room.
Wynn put down her book and gave Beck a call . He let the phone ring for quite a while before finally answering , Hello . ”
Wynn smiled . “ I heard Janet has started at Harper Corporation . Thank you , Beck . Are you free over the next couple of days ? I’d like to treat you to a meal . ”
Beck replied in a detached tone , “ Janet got in on her own merit . There’s no need to thank me . ”
If he hadn’t specifically looked into it , how would he know she got in by merit ?
Wynn smiled but didn’t say anything about that . She was just about to speak when Beck interrupted , “ I’ve got things to do . Let’s talk another time . ”
Wynn knew Beck had been busy with work lately . “ Alright .
Once she replied , she hung up the call without hesitation .
In truth , Beck didn’t have anything urgent going on . What he really wanted was to call Celeste .
As soon as Wynn ended the call , he dialed Celeste’s number
