Chapter 125
Seeing the endless stream of arriving guests, Patricia and Mason were all smiles.
It was just as what the Rodriguez family thought, they did remember Betty’s birthday.
No, in fact, after so many years of celebrating Betty’s birthday, forgetting it was simply out of the question.
Thus, it was no coincidence that they held their housewarming party today.
They couldn’t help but fume, thinking back to how they had planned to move across from the Rodriguez family, only for Celeste to interfere and enlist Trevor’s help, throwing their plans into disarray.
But Trevor later made up for it, and ironically, they ended up better off because of it.
It made them even more delighted, thinking about how they had scheduled their housewarming party to clash with the Rodriguez family’s event and successfully diverted their guests.
“Their party must be nearly empty now, huh?” Linda stifled a quiet laugh. “They couldn’t even keep their guests – after all that effort. It’s just humiliating at this point. If word gets out, everyone will know the Rodriguez family
has lost both its influence and connections. Who’d still want to do business with them, honestly?”
Ruby applauded and laughed. “You’re right.”
Although the Shaws had invited various elites from Baumond, they weren’t familiar with most of them.
While today was the Shaws‘ housewarming party, it was also a way for them to expand their network.
That night, Wynn wore the diamond bracelet Trevor had bought at the auction for her.
Many people knew that Trevor had splurged over 400 million dollars at the auction to claim four prized items.
Seeing how much Trevor valued Wynn, plenty of people at the party were eager to ingratiate with her.
Noticing how Wynn was wearing the bracelet, they gushed, “This piece suits you beautifully, Ms. Locket. Mr. Fleming sure has impeccable taste.”
Though the guests were clearly flattering her, Wynn’s beauty made anything she wore look stunning. With her elegant ensemble tonight, the diamond bracelet complemented her perfectly, adding a refined touch to her noble
presence.
“Thank you,” Wynn responded.
Many had brushed up on their knowledge ahead of time to impress the Lockets.
Thus, quite a few people knew that Erin had a keen interest in antiques.
Someone remarked out of nowhere, “I heard Madam Locket loves collecting antiques. Was the antique vase from the last auction something Mr. Fleming intentionally purchased to honor Madam Locket?”
The person phrased his sentence in a way that they believed Trevor already considered himself part of the Lockets.
Wynn nodded in reply. “Yes, it was.”
Erin was genuinely fond of that antique vase.
Just thinking about the antique vase put a smile on her face
It was a vase worth over 100 million dollars, after all,

It was undeniable that Trevor put a lot of thought and money into Wynn.
Upon hearing this, Patricia felt a slight pang of jealousy.
As one of Wynn’s elders, Erin had a priceless antique vase- while she was left with nothing.
But as Wynn had told her, Trevor bought another two prized items at the auction that night, and they were far pricier than the antique vase.
Trevor knew it was the Shaws‘ housewarming party today.
Patricia reckoned at least one of those two items was for them.
And that put her in a much better mood.
