"Ms. Locket." 2

When she saw Jorgeing over, Wynn gave a faint smile. "Mr.

Robinson."

Jorge nced around. "Why are you standing here alone?

Where''s Mr. Fleming?" +

Wynn pointed in a direction. "Trevor is over there talking to

Jorge followed her gesture with his eyes, then quickly brought

his gaze back to her face.

He paused for a moment, then couldn''t help but ask, "Ms.

Locket, you don''t look to be in a good mood, Did something

Wynn''s smile faltered

Catching her reaction, Jorge pressed on: "Is it because of

Celeste Rodriguez?" 1

Before Wynn could respond, his eyes flicked coldly towardfn1491 Th?s chapter is updated by Find?Novel/fn1491

Celeste''s side. "I never thought someone like her would manage

to thrive like this and even gain the favor of Zachary Newman

and his wife. This world really is unfair." 4

Wynn truly wasn''t in the best of moods tonight. And it was

indeed rted to Celeste. But not in the way Jorge thought.

In reality, what weighed on her was the fear that Celeste''s

identity—as Zachary''s student, and as one of YodaVision''s

founders—would be exposed tonight. 4

Because of this, her nerves had been taut for days, and at this

moment, they were stretched nearly to the breaking point.

Hearing Jorge''sment, she knew he had misunderstood. But

she didn''t n on correcting him. If anything, his presence

eased her tension a little.

Just then, Trevor returned.

Seeing Jorge, he smiled lightly. "Mr. Robinson, you''re here too." 2

Jorge gave a slight nod. "I just came over to exchange a few

words with Ms. Locket. Since you two have matters to attend to,

I won''t intrude further.”

Trevor said, "Calling it an intrusion is too polite, Mr. Robinson."

But Jorge still excused himself and left

Perhaps thinking she had been waiting to speak with Zachary,

Trevor said, "You''ve been waiting long, haven''t you? Let''s go

greet Mr. Newman and his wife now." 3

In the past, whenever Zachary rarely appeared, she would have

seized the chance to speak with him. Even if Matthias disliked

her, she would ignore that and find a way to strike up a

conversation.

But now...

She knew Celeste was Zachary''s student. Which meant that

from the very first time she had met him, Zachary had already

known who she was. 2

Back then, he had said her ability wasn''t up to his standard. That

time, he had probably been telling the truth. But when he faced

her then, had there really been no prejudice in his heart? 2

Besides, was Celeste really so exceptional that Zachary

epted her as his student? 5

"What''s wrong?" Seeing her silent, Trevor asked.

"Nothing." 4

She didn''t want to go over, but not wanting Trevor to sense

anything amiss, she still went with him toward Zachary.

“Mr. Newman, Dr. Yarborough.”

They had just stepped up and exchanged greetings when

Celeste and Matthias also came over to find the couple.

When Matthias saw Trevor and Wynn, his smile carried a hint of

mockery. "What a coincidence, Mr. Fleming, Ms. Locket, you''re

here too."

Trevor greeted him with a calm smile. "Mr. Yoder.” Then his

gaze shifted to Celeste, and he gave her a brief nod. 1

Nadine looked at Trevor and Wynn with a smile. "So, it''s Mr.

Fleming. It''s been so many years since west met.”

Trevor nodded. "Yes, it''s been a long time." Then he added, "This

is Wynn Locket." 3

“So, you''re Ms. Locket," Nadine said with the same warm smile. "

I''ve long heard of you.” 9style
