Chapter 323
After dinner, Jordyn mentioned something that made Celeste realize Trevor was away on a business trip.
At around 9:00 pm, while Celeste was taking a shower, her phone rang
Jordyn saw that it was Beck calling and answered it. “Mr. Harper.”
Hearing her voice, Beck paused slightly. “Jo.”
Before Jordyn could contine, Celeste stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing her, Jordyn handed her the phone and
said, “Mom, it's Mr. Harper.”
“Okay.” Celeste took the phone, but before she could speal, Beck beat her to it. “I hope I'm not disturbing you?”
“No.”
Beck said, “I'm out of town right now, so we’ll have to reschedule our dinner for another time.”
“That's fine.”
After hanging up, Celeste was about to dry her hair when Jordyn suddenly looked at her in confusion.

Noticing her gaze, Celeste asked, “What's wrong?”
“Mom, you know Mr. Harper too?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
The next morning, Celeste went downstairs to make breakfast.
About half an hour later, as she was heading back upstairs, she saw Jordyn on the phone. When Jordyn spotted
her, she ran over and handed her the phone. “Mom, it's Dad”
Celeste took the phone. “What is it?”
“I can only get back on Wednesday. Until then, | don’t think Jo will want to leave the Rodriguez residence. I'll
have to trouble you to take care of her for the next few days.”
Celeste listened silently, pressing her lips together before hanging up.
After dropping Jordyn off at the kindergarten on Monday, Celeste headed to work.
She had a major project deadline, so the entire week was hectic. She often worked late into the night, only
returning hat midnight.
Even though Jordyn was staying at the Rodriguez residence, they only had tto chat briefly in the mornings.
On Thursday afternoon, Jordyn called to tell her that Trevor had returned. That sday, after school, she went
straight back to the Fleming manor.
On Saturday, Celeste, Beck, and Shanice met up at an amusement park.

Chapter 323
Upon seeing her, Beck said, “It's been a while since we last met.”
“Is that so?” Celeste hadn't really noticed.
Beck looked at her, as if he had something on his mind, but he didn’t say it right away.
It wasn’t until they were almost ready for lunch that he hesitated before speaking “You know InnovaTech has
multiple shareholders, right?”
“Mlun.”
“Trevor plans to buy out my shares, as well as Miles’ and the others’ and give it to...” He didn’t finish his

She had seen firsthand how indulgent Trevor was toward Wynn at InnovaTech
Previously, she had even joked that she wouldn't be surprised if he outright changed InnovaTech’s nto
Locket. But she hadn't expected him to actually go through with something like this.
InnovaTech might be a relatively new company, but it was still worth billions. He was certainly generous to just
give it away like that.
At that moment, Beck added, “Miles and | agreed to it.”
“Mm.” She wasn’t surprised.
Beck, Miles, and Trevor had been close friends since childhood, practically growing up together. Given their bond,
she could understand why they agreed.
The reason Beck brought this up was to let her know that InnovaTech was changing hands-yet YodaVision and
InnovaTech still had business ties.
He knew how deeply Celeste had once loved Trevor.
Before learning about her connection with Matthias, he had truly believed she had moved on. But now, he wasn’t
