Chapter 252
Maurice couldn’t stand being accused of lying.
As soon as Queenie comforted him, his mood improved siificantly.
Hearing this, Jordyn also stopped crying.
“That’s right. Maurice probably just mistook someone else for mom. That person wasn’t her mom at all.”
With that thought, she felt much better.
But then, she suddenly remembered that Celeste had praise Sylvia for being cute before. And they seemed quite familiar with each other.
Jordyn didn’t even bother wiping her tears before reaching into Trevor’s pocket. “Dad, give me your phone.”
Trevor had already guessed what had happened from Queenie’s words. So, he wiped her tears with his thumb before handing his phone to her.
Jordyn quickly entered Celeste’s number and dialed.
At that moment, Celeste had just finished watching a movie and was playing games at the arcade next to the cinema.
Seeing Trevor’s call, she didn’t hesitate to reject it.

Jordyn’s eyes were still red. “Mom didn’t pick up.”
“She’s probably busy,” Trevor said. “Let’s not disturb her. How about I take you out for dinner tonight?”
Trevor saying that Celeste was busy made Jordyn feel even more certain that Maurice had mistaken someone else for her mom.
She relaxed. “Can Wynn come too?”
led. “Sure,”
Trevor smiled. “Sure.”
Feeling much better, Jordyn got out of his arms and was about to return to her puzzle. But she was still a little uneasy. She called Donna and asked to speak to Sylvia.
Donna was surprised.
From her impression, Jordyn didn’t like Sylvia very much. She didn’t bully her, but…
Unable to resist Jordyn’s pleading, Donna contacted Tilda first. After confirming both Sylvia and her mom were okay with it, she gave Jordyn Tilda’s contact information.
Jordyn immediately made a video call.
Sylvia picked up quickly, looking pleasantly surprised. “Jordyn? Ms. Alper said you were looking for me? Do you want to play with me?”
Even though it seemed like Jordyn didn’t like her much, Sylvia had always liked her. She thought Jordyn was bold, confident, and cool.
“Mm.” Jordyn pursed her lips. “Where are you now?”
“At home!” Sylvia happily turned the camera around. “My grandparents are here. They and my mom are making my favorite ravioli. Do you want to-
Chapter 2.52.
Seeing the large pile of ravioll in Sylvia’s house and realizing they were really at home, Jordyn finally relaxed. She asked, “You didn’t go to the movies with my mom today, right?”
Sylvia shook her head. “With Ms. Rodriguez? No, I haven’t seen her in a long time.”
Hearing this, Jordyn was completely relieved. “Got it. Enjoy your ravioll.”
She was about to hang up but hesitated for a moment before awkwardly adding, “Bye.”
Sylvia blinked. “Oh, B–Bye.”
When Trevor returned to the living room, Lincoln asked, “Everything settled?”
“Yeah.”
The guests sitting across from Lincoln and Trevor had just arrived not long ago. It was their first time seeing Jordyn.
One of them couldn’t help but remark, “I can’t believe Trevor’s child is already this big. So, he’s been married for a long time?”
Rumors had been spreading recently that Trevor had a child But most people thought it was just gossip,
Seeing it with their own eyes now, they realized it was true.
Trevor took a sip of tea. “Yes.”
The others exchanged awkward smiles. They had deliberately brought their daughters today, hoping they and Trevor could meet.
If something could come out of it, that would be ideal. But now, they found out he was already married.
Their daughters were beautiful, gentle, and quiet, yet in the half hour they had been here, Trevor hadn’t spared them a single glance.
Clearly, he had no interest in them whatsoever.
Maybe, even if he weren’t married, their daughters wouldn’t have stood a chance.
After playing in the arcade for over an hour, Beck and Shanice had to leave due to other commitments.
Before going out today, Celeste had been working on her thesis. Now that it was almost done, she planned to make some final edits when she got home and send it to Zachary for review.
Once it was confirmed to be fine, she would submit it officially.
Lost in thought, she continued playing her VR game, unaware that someone leaving the cinema had spotted her. Linda scoffed at the sight of Celeste playing arcade games all alone before turning and walking away.
Half an hour later, Linda arrived at the luxurious Locket family villa.
Rushing upstairs, she was surprised to see Ruby there. “Man? Weren’t you supposed to be out shopping? What are you doing at Aunt Lizzy’s place?”

“I just got back from shopping”
Though the Shaw family’s villa was already quite nice, it was nothing compared to the one Trevor had bought for Lilian
Ever since the Locket family moved in, Ruby found every excuse to visit.
Even though some time had passed, she still couldn’t help ut admire the extravagant decor.
Linda was the same. Since the Lockets and the Shaws were close, she, like her mother, found herself coming over more often.
Acting as if she were at home, she sat down and mysteriously said, “Mom, Wynn, Aunt Lizzy, guess who I just saw at the arcade?”
At that moment, Wynn was sitting by the enormous floor–to–ceiling window, reading,
Hearing this, she already had an answer in mind. But she wasn’t interested and didn’t respond.
Ruby, however, was intrigued. “You saw Celeste?”
“That’s right!” Linda grinned as she popped a sunflower seed into her mouth.
“Is Trevor not letting her return to the Fleming Manor anymore? Now she’s all alone, playing arcade games by herself. Gosh, she looked so pitiful from behind.”
