---- Chapter 477 Wynn gave a faint smile and said, "The matter was taken care of, so! came over." 3 In reality, she hadn''t felt at ease. The meeting wasn''t even halfway through before she left InnovaTech. ? She knew that Trevor didn''t need to attend the meeting Celeste was participating in today, but just as she expected, he had indeede down from upstairs specifically to sit in on Celeste''s meeting.
Thinking about that made her feel sour inside, and her expression turned somewhat stiff.? Trevor checked the time. "I have a video meeting in about ten minutes. It''ll take over an hour. Want toe upstairs with me and sit for a while?" 9 "Okay." Wynn returned to the Locket residence in the afternoon. When Patricia saw her, she asked, "Why are you back so early? Didn''t you and Trevor go out fora meal?" 2 ---- "He had things to take care of." "I see." Wynn looked tired.
After kicking off her shoes, she was about to go upstairs to rest when Lilian noticed her expression and asked, "Did something happen? You haven''t seemed in a good moodtely." Wynn paused briefly, then replied as if nothing was wrong, " Nothing. Just a little tired." 4 Lately, there had indeed been a lot going on in InnovaTech, and there hadn''t been any breakthroughs in their core technology. It made sense for her to feel frustrated. 4 Because of this, Lilian didn''t press the issue.
She simply asked someone to make some nourishing food and told Wynn toe eat. J had alreadye home from work. When Wynn sat down next to her, she greeted her, "Wynn." Wynn responded with a brief hum. As Wynn ate, Ruby munched on sunflower seeds and suddenly said, "Oh, right-the Simmons family''s daughter, Nancy, got her engagement called off by the Thatcher family." ? ---- The Simmons and Thatcher families she referred to were from Youtopia. Both families were well-matched in status.
Nancy and the eldest son of the Thatcher family, Landon, had grown up together. Both were refined and talented, and it was said they had a great rtionship. 1 Nancy was quite beautiful and known to excel academically. While still in university, she had already received several patents, helping elevate her family''spany significantly. 2 The Thatcher family had always been very satisfied with their future daughter-inw.
It was even rumored the wedding wasing up soon-but unexpectedly, the Thatcher family broke off the engagement. Patricia was intrigued and asked, "Why did they suddenly call it off? Did something happen?" "It''s a bit dramatic. Apparently, Landon cheated-get this-with Nancy''s assistant. The assistant is said to be a graduate student, also quite capable, though not even close to Nancy in terms of professional ability.
? "But people say she''s got a fun personality, unlike Nancy, who''s all about work-too serious, always buried in theb. Anyway, Landon is now absolutely determined to end the engagement-" 2 ---- "Didn''t people say he really admired Nancy before? And thought she was talented? And she really is quite good-looking. Plus, Landon is known for being calm and self-controlled. It''s hard to imagine him doing something like that..." "Exactly!
But you know how men are--it''s not always about how good or aplished a woman is. Just because you''re more talented doesn''t mean a man.will love you." 3 "True that," Linda, still in a bad mood, felt slightly better after hearing this gossip and chimed in, "What''s the point of a woman being capable and talented if that''s all she has? = "Over time, a man will get tired of that. Landon getting bored is only natural." 2 Wynn had been listening half-heartedly, just to kill time.
But hearing this part, she suddenly paused and looked up. Celeste really was outstanding in her field. But apart from her professional ability, in every other aspect-she couldn''tpare to Wynn. 12 Even if Trevor didn''t yet know that Celeste was a student of Zachary, he already knew quite a bit about her strength. Still, at most, he had shown a bit more appreciation for her than before-nothing more... ? ---- But then she remembered what happened that morning when she went to Fleming Group.
From the moment Trevor found out she had arrived, he hadn''t looked at Celeste even once-he simply took her upstairs right away. 1 The dark cloud that had hung over Wynn''s head for days suddenly vanished. A smile finally appeared on her face.
