As they walked further away, Oscar asked, “Is there something going on between you both and the Lockets?”
Matthias and Celeste exchanged a glance. Then, Celeste said, “No, there isn’t.”
It wasn’t a misunderstanding, after all.
However, Oscar misunderstood her words, thinking that she truly had no conflicts with the Lockets.
“Very well then.”
Oscar was optimistic about YodaVision’s prospects. Hence, he remarked sincerely, “Considering how highly Trevor regards Ms. Locket, the Locket family is about to skyrocket in status. The Flemings, especially Trevor, are not people to mess with. Even if you don’t want to get close to the Lockets, it’s best not to provoke them.”
Celeste smiled, realizing what Oscar had said was quite ironic.
Who else but her would ever be told to maintain a good relationship with her husband’s mistress, all because her – husband cared about his mistress too much?
Matthias couldn’t stand listening to that as well.
He said, “We’re not afraid of Trevor at all.
Their company had been shielded by the government all along because of Cuap.

Trevor didn’t manage to lay his hand on YodaVision some time ago. And with their ongoing project, Matthias believed that they’d gain substantial backing from the government soon.
Their company’s size would expand considerably within a year this time.
By then, YodaVision would be completely beyond Trevor’s control.
Hence, what Matthias had just said wasn’t just anything he blurted out of frustration.
It was the confidence Celeste had given him.
Betty would be celebrating her birthday on Saturday.
Celeste no longer cared whether Trevor showed up for Betty’s birthday.
Jordyn, however, had to be there.
To prevent Jordyn from slipping away to see Wynn that day, leaving her whereabouts unknown, Celeste gave Jordyn a call on Thursday morning.
It was the first time she’d called Jordyn since she’d come back from Andostan on her birthday.
Jordyn was having her breakfast.
Trevor was there too.
Seeing Celeste’s name on her phone would still fill Jordyn with joy now.
She put away the utensils immediately and answered the phone. “Mom!”
“Hello.” Celeste could tell that Jordyn was speaking with food in her mouth. She asked, “Are you having your breakfast?”

“Yes! Have you eaten, Mom?”
“I have.” Celeste went on, “I’m calling to let you know that Granny’s birthday is this Saturday. So don’t make any plans that day—you’ll be coming with me to her place for celebration, okay?”
“Ah…”
Jordyn didn’t expect Celeste to call just to tell her this.
She hadn’t managed to spend time with Wynn last weekend, and she thought she could make up for it this week.
Hence, she felt a bit reluctant to hear what Celeste had just said.
But still, she couldn’t turn a deaf ear to Celeste’s words.
Celeste must have noticed Jordyn’s reluctance too, as she knew exactly what was on the latter’s mind.
Tightening the grip on her phone, she asked Jordyn, “Is your Dad around?”
“Dad? Yeah,” Jordyn replied as she looked at Trevor, who was sitting across from her. Then, she asked Celeste, Do you want to talk to him, Mom?”
“Yes, please pass your phone to him. I have something to tell him.”
‘Okay.”
Jordyn handed the phone to Trevor, who was still eating his breakfast. “Dad, Mom wants to talk to you.”
Trevor put down the utensils and grabbed the phone. “What’s the matter?”
“My Granny is celebrating her birthday the day after tomorrow. Please tell Jo to follow me back to the Rodriguez residence on that day, and she must not sneak away.”
Trevor replied, “Alright. Anything else?”
“I’ll be taking her to the Rodriguez residence on Friday night.”
“Okay.”
Celeste felt a sense of relief upon hearing Trevor’s answer. After a brief pause, she said, “Thank you.”
Trevor hummed a reply.
Celeste had never asked whether he was free on Saturday when she gave him the invitation.
This time, too.
Moreover, since he’d passed the item he had bought at the auction to her, it was clear he intended for her to give the gift to Betty in his place.
