Chapter 291
So, faced with Zachary’s indifference, Wynn didn’t take it to heart.
After greeting Zachary, she politely took the initiative to greet Rowan and the others, saying, “Good evening. gentlemen.”
She addressed them collectively rather than individually, which was the more appropriate approach.
After all, Rowan and the others hadn’t made any effort to get to know her. If she had greeted them one by one, it would have felt more like an intrusion to them.
Kael and Rowan’s attention was entirely on Celeste.
Like Caleb, they had also noticed Celeste’s apparent dislike for Harvey and Wynn.
Kael even had detailed information about Celeste. He had recognized Harvey and Wynn the moment they showed
- up.
When he heard Wynn greet them, Kael simply gave a small nod before turning to Zachary and Celeste. “Let’s not just stand around here. We should head in,” he said.
Zachary nodded, and the group turned and entered the restaurant.
Theodore turned to Jorge and reminded him, “Don’t drink too much.”
“I won’t,” Jorge replied.
Theodore didn’t say anything further. He nodded at Wynn and Harvey, then followed after Zachary and the others.
Jorge didn’t follow because Theodore hadn’t invited him. His silence meant the upcoming conversation wasn’t something Jorge was meant to hear.
But if he couldn’t be there, how come Celeste could?
That thought made Jorge frown. Still, he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he turned his head toward Wynn and Harvey. Mr. Locket, Ms. Locket–are you two here for a business dinner as well?”
Wynn and Harvey nodded. “Yes. You too, Mr. Robinson?”
“That’s right.”
Harvey added, “I heard your company recently launched a new project. We’re quite interested. I wonder when you might have some time—”
The Robinson Group had indeed started a new project, though it was still in the planning stages. Nothing had been finalized yet.
Thanks to Trevor’s help and Harvery’s hard work over the past few months, the Locket family business had stabilized. If the right opportunity came along, a collaboration with them wouldn’t be out of the question.
With that in mind, Jorge added. “Let’s set up a time in the next few days to discuss it.”
Throughout their small talk, Jorge’s eyes kept drifting toward Wynn. Back at the forum, when he saw Trevor take the initiative to approach Celeste, he had considered reaching out to Wynn to let her know. But he knew it wasn’t his place. They weren’t that close, after all.
Besides, Wynn and Trevor were clearly very close–so even if he told her, she might not believe him. He had also heard about Trevor transferring shares of InnovaTech to Wynn.

What he didn’t know was whether Trevor had always intended to give her the shares, or if Wynn had already found out something, and Trevor was compensating her with them.
There was something thoughtful, almost hesitant, in the way Jorge looked at her like he had something to say But since he didn’t speak up, Wynn acted like she hadn’t noticed.
That aside, she was quite curious why Zachary and the others had shown up here today. But considering even Celeste was allowed to tag along, whatever they were discussing probably wasn’t anything all that important.
With that thought, she smiled and said, “The people we’re meeting have arrived, so we’ll head up first.”
“My guests are here too. Let’s go up together.” Jorge offered.
“Sure,” Wynn replied.
