Trevor's gaze lingered on Celeste for two to three seconds
before moving away.
So, while he appeared to be engaged in serious conversation
with others, Jorge noticed that in reality, his eyes were on
Celeste. 1
When Celeste and Matthias finished chatting with someone and
walked away, Trevor would occasionally search for Celeste's
figure again
Meanwhile, Celeste was fully focused on assisting Matthias in
greeting guests. She didn't notice Trevor's attention on her at all.
Seeing this, a wave of anger surged in Jorge's chest.
When Trevor withdrew his gaze and tuned his head, he
happened to meet Jorge's eyes. He gave Jorge a polite smile
Jorge's expression was dark, and the people around him
noticed. "Jorge, what's wrong?" someone asked.
Jorge calmed himself, suppressing the fury inside. "Nothing," he
As for Trevor, Jorge simply returned a slight nod in response.

Her hand tightened around her wine glass, her mechanical smile
barely holding together. +
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
After taking the call, her expression changed slightly. She said, "
Okay, | understand. I'll head over right away.”
Her words pulled Trevor's attention. After she hung up, he asked,
"What's wrong?"
"My grandmother was hit while taking a walk in the
neighborhood. She fell and was injured. They're sending her to
the hospital now. I'm worried, so | want to go check on her." 3

Wynn had often attended banquets with Trevor before. She was
no stranger to the feeling of standing among such important

Seeing this scene, Wynn suddenly felt that Celeste stood on
equal footing with Victor, Harold, and the other heavyweights. 2
She wasn't a mere ornamental figure like Wynn had been at
