The Quinton family was, after all, a well-known family in
Baumond. So, seeing Miles invited was no surprise to Celeste.
"Mr. Harper, Mr. Quinton, wee.”
Although Miles would asionally run into Celeste, it had
actually been quite a long time since they''d even exchanged
basic greetings.
Beck, on the other hand, couldn''t help but arch a brow. Celeste
was treating him with the same distant politeness as any other
guest tonight.
And when he noticed how smoothly she was greeting others,
taking on the full air of a hostess, his brow arched even higher.
It had been a while since Beck had seen her. He was just about
to speak when his gaze caught Trevor and Wynn inside the
banquet hall.
Miles spotted them too. His eyes widened slightly in surprise. "
Trevor is already here?"
Beck was a little surprised himself. He looked over, and just as
he was about to turn away, Trevor and Wynn also noticed them.
Trevor offered them a smile. Wynn had been smiling too, but the
moment her eyesnded on Beck, her smile faltered. 5
Miles waved to them and was about to tug Beck along, but Beck
didn''t move. He gestured for Miles to wait, then turned back to
Celeste. 1
“I''ve been following the news about YodaVisiontely.
Congrattions."
In just half a year, YodaVision had achieved such staggering
sess, She and Matthias truly were formidable.
Celeste''s smile, this time, was genuine. "Thank you." 2
Of course, Miles was well aware of YodaVision’s financial report
for the first half of the year.
But hearing Beck congratte her so earnestly, he didn''t think
too deeply about it. To him, it was only natural to congratte
Celeste, who was clearly an "important figure" in YodaVision. 2
At that moment, Kevin, who had long maintained a partnership
with YodaVision, arrived as well. He came over warmly. "Ms.
Rodriguez, congrattions, congrattions."
"Thank you, Mr. Thatcher, you''re too kind." 1
Celeste quickly shook his hand, exchanged a few pleasantries,
then turned back, intending to speak with Beck again. But seeing
that she was busy, Beck said first, "You go ahead. We''ll head
over there.” 2
"alright."
When they walked closer to where Trevor and Wynn stood, Miles
chuckled. "You''re here so early today. For a second, I thought I
was seeing things.” 1
“Since there''s nothing much going on, we just decided toe
earlier,” said Trevor. He lifted his ss and clinked with theirs
after Beck and Miles picked up drinks from a passing waiter. 2
Hearing this, Wynn lowered her gaze. 1
When there was a moment free from interruptions, Miles
couldn''t hold back. He leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "
You and Celeste may not have officially divorced yet, but when
handling the paperwork, wasn''t she always cooperative?”
Trevor acknowledged with a hum. "Why?"
"Nothing." He nced toward Celeste, who was still earnestly
greeting guests. 7
And among YodaVision''s attendees, people were already
treating her as if she were another co-founder of thepany. =
Lowering his voice, he murmured, "She really looks the part of
YodaVision''s co-founder now. Is she seriously nning to marry
Matthias once she and you divorce?" 4
Trevor gave him a faint smile. “That I don''t know. If you''re so
curious, why not ask her yourself?" 5
Ask her directly? What kind of rtionship did he think he had
with Celeste? But then...
Miles seemed to think of something and turned to Beck. "Beck,
you''re on decent terms with her and Matthias these days. Have
you heard anything?"<style>
