Chapter 32

Matthias asked, “So?”

Joshua replied, “Given her background, it’s impressive that she can even be part of our circle, let alone in the circles of the Fleming family and other prominent families. However, Ms. Locket has easily integrated into their core circle and built strong relationships. She’s truly remarkable.

“Initially, I was puzzled by Trevor’s unexpected appearance at my dinner party. However, I later discovered that he had come to introduce guests to Ms. Locket.

“Trevor’s effort to build connections for Ms. Locket and bring Beck and others along shows he is serious about her. If she were just a passing interest, he wouldn’t have bothered. With Trevor’s support, the Locket family will thrive in the future.”

Matthias and Celeste listened intently, yet both remained silent.

In the end, Joshua let out a heartfelt sigh. “The Locket family is truly fortunate to have a daughter like her. It’s genuinely admirable.”

As Joshua concluded his speech, Celeste looked around and realized that Trevor and the others had already exited the banquet hall, leaving early. Despite being aware of her presence, Trevor hadn’t cast even a single glance in her direction throughout the entire event.

30 minutes later, Celeste and Matthias departed as well. Upon arriving home, her phone buzzed with a call from

Trevor.

Celeste hesitated, contemplating whether he was calling to reprimand her for seemingly bullying Wynn alongside Matthias. After all, Miles had just given her a warning at the banquet, likely because Trevor had such intentions from the very beginning.

Two seconds later, she answered the phone calmly. “Hello.”

Trevor commanded icily, “Come home.”

Celeste was taken aback. She grabbed the car keys, slipped on her shoes, and headed out. Upon arriving at the villa, she got out of the car.

Although she noticed Trevor was absent when she walked through the door, it didn’t matter to her. She headed straight to Jordyn’s bedroom on the second floor.

Jordyn was battling a high fever while connected to an IV drip. In her discomfort, she reached out and whispered, Mom,” seeking comfort in Celeste’s embrace.

close and asked Hannah, “Has she eaten?”

Celeste frowned and inquired the doctor about the details. Turning her attention to Jordyn, who was cuddled in her arms and reluctant to rise, she asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll prepare your favorite chicken noodle soup. You can have some once the drip is finished.”

“Hmm.”

Back then, Celeste always took care of her when she was sick. She couldn’t eat the food cooked by others and

She frowned and asked, “Where’s Dad? Is he back yet?”

Celeste was stunned. She thought Trevor had returned when she received his call. Upon entering the room and not seeing him, she assumed he was in the study. After hearing Jordyn, she realized he hadn’t come back yet.

The hotel where the party took place was actually closer to the villa than her current house. Moreover, he departed at least half an hour before she did.

Even if he had intended to drop Wynn off first, he would still be home by now. However, if he hadn’t left right after dropping Wynn off, or if he had no plans to come back tonight, that would be another story.
