### Chapter 1: Chapter-1

If the Lockets and Shaws gave up now, they wouldn't just lose everything. They would also be left saddled with debt. That was why they had to hold on to Trevor.Lilian looked at Wynn. "Wynn, what about Trevor...?"Wynn gave the same answer as before. "I know. I'll get in touch with him."Lilian nodded and said nothing more.She had always considered herself fairly good at handling men and understanding how they thought. Yet, ever since Philip's banquet, Trevor's reactions had been completely beyond her expectations. Even she had lost her bearings.After breakfast, Wynn went to the office.With InnovaTech's projects constantly running into obstacles, she was already overwhelmed. She was in the middle of discussing something with a colleague when Linda called."Wynn, Trev is back from his business trip! He just attended Fleming Group's product launch. I saw the video of the event."Wynn paused before answering, "Alright. I know."After hanging up, she went online to check and fo

Trevor asked, "Are you sure? You don't want to see your mom?"Jordyn turned her face away. "If I want to see Mom, I'll contact her myself. You don't need to arrange it."Hearing that, Trevor looked at her and was about to say something when her phone rang.It was Celeste calling.Jordyn stared at the screen for two seconds before answering. "Mom.""Mm, it's me."Celeste asked from the other end, "Do you want to come over and celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with me?"Jordyn hadn't been very willing to get close to her lately, so Celeste didn't know whether she'd want to spend the holiday with her at the Rodriguez residence.Still, she felt she should at least ask.Jordyn hesitated before saying, "I'm not sure. Can I ask Dad and let you know later?"Celeste answered, "Okay, let me know once you've decided.""Okay, I will. Bye, Mom.""...Bye."Once Celeste finished speaking, Jordyn ended the call.The car was quiet.Trevor had heard almost the entire conversation betwee

In Miles's mind, Jordyn was always cheerful. If something upset her, she would surely tell Trevor about it right away. So, what could she possibly have to be unhappy about?Jordyn scrolled through her tablet without looking up. "I'm not unhappy."Normally, whenever they saw her, there was always a smile on Jordyn's face. It was obvious at a glance that she was a cheerful, happy child.If anyone teased her, she would immediately perk up and fire back. But now, even after being teased, she remained quiet and didn't seem bothered to respond.Even Miles could tell that she was genuinely in a bad mood. He was about to tease her a little more and ask what was wrong when Beck cleared his throat."It's your turn. Order something.""I already ordered.""Order two more dishes."Miles looked surprised. "You're super hungry today?"Beck didn't answer.The last time they had gone out to sea together, Beck had already noticed that Jordyn seemed to have something on her mind. Even then, he

Over the next few days, Celeste was busy dealing with company matters.One day, Matthias suddenly said to her, "A few more key engineers have left InnovaTech recently."Celeste hummed in acknowledgement and replied, "I've heard about it too.""Several investors have pulled out, but a few are still holding on. I guess they're waiting to see whether Trevor will step in."At that, Matthias smiled and added, "Apparently, CodeFlux has also withdrawn its investment."CodeFlux was Jorge's company.Celeste nodded.Matthias couldn't help saying, "From what I saw before, Jorge seemed pretty infatuated with Wynn. I'm actually a little surprised he pulled out so decisively."Celeste wasn't interested in Jorge's affairs, so she didn't respond.Matthias then asked, "Trevor still hasn't returned from his business trip?"Celeste shook her head. "I don't know."She and Jordyn hadn't been in contact for the past few days. She hadn't been deliberately keeping track of Trevor's whereabouts eith

That evening, Jordyn ate a few skewers of meat, played with her building blocks for a while, and spent some time looking at the stars before heading back to rest at the hotel.The next day, aside from discussing work with Matthias and some of the company employees, Celeste spent most of her time with Jordyn.Matthias and Kieran both made a few more attempts to get closer to Jordyn.Every time, Jordyn would politely greet them and thank them, but somehow, the distance between them never seemed to close.At first, they assumed she was simply shy around strangers. But it didn't take long for them to realise that Jordyn was deliberately keeping them at arm's length.She simply didn't want to "be friends" with them.Although Matthias felt deeply sorry for Celeste over what had happened in the past, he had never completely blamed Jordyn for liking Wynn, as she was just a child. Furthermore, Jordyn was Celeste's daughter. How could he not genuinely care for her?But seeing Jordyn's att

The weather was nice that evening. There was also an observation deck up on the mountain, offering a beautiful view of the city's dazzling lights below.When Celeste and Jordyn reached the top, some of the YodaVision employees had already set up grills in the open area beside the observation deck and were busy barbecuing meat.When they saw them, everyone quickly greeted them."Ms. Rodriguez, we've got someone here who's really good at grilling. His grilled meat is amazing. Would you like some?"Celeste smiled and accepted it. "Thank you.""It's nothing. There's plenty more."Then they handed a skewer to Jordyn as well. "Are you Jo? Here you go."Jordyn accepted it too. "Thank you.""Aww... Ms. Rodriguez, is Jo always this sweet? She's so pretty, and even her personality and mannerisms are so much like yours. She's so well-behaved and sensible, quiet and polite."Someone else laughed and joined in. "Exactly. Mr. Ortiz was just saying how jealous he was. He said his daughter ca
