Hearing her daughter''s words, Ruby didn''t think much of it and immediately urged, "If you have something to say, just say it. Everyone''s here. We can all help you figure it out."
Linda hesitated for a moment, but finally forced herself to speak.
"It''s... It''s about the diamond. You know, the one Trev bought for over four billion dors?
"A while ago, I overheard that brat Jordyn saying... that Trev actually gave it to Celeste as her birthday present... shortly after her birthday."
Everyone present, including Ruby, had their minds fixated on the divorce matter. None of them expected Linda to bring up something they considered irrelevant.
But when she finished speaking, the room fell silent. All of them stared at her, momentarily unsure if they''d heard correctly.
When the realization sank in, Ruby immediately frowned and snapped loudly, "How is that possible? Linda, don''t spout nonsense!"
Linda panicked. "I''m not making it up! It''s true! Why-why would I joke about something like this?"
In fact, the moment she spoke and they processed her words, everyone already understood that it had to be true.
It was just that...
They never expected the "thing" she wanted to say to be this significant.
Trevor actually bought that diamond for Celeste?
Lennox reacted quickly and said, "Even if he did buy it for her, it doesn''t necessarily mean anything. Maybe they exchanged something. Maybe it was some sort of deal?"
Ruby bobbed her head urgently. "Yes, exactly!"
The others had the same initial thought.
But then memories surfaced.
The scenes of Trevor and Celeste together recently...
In the past, everyone said Trevor despised Celeste. Even for Jordyn and Martha''s sake, he had been unwilling to spend much time with her.
But recently, whenever they saw the two together, Trevor''s attitude toward her was gentle, proactive even.
And it was Celeste who seemed distant.
Not only that, he''d been seeing her quite oftentely.
He actively helped find doctors for her grandmother, and days ago, be publicly picked her up in his arme sent her upstairs to her hotel om, and didn''te down for a long time.
None of that would''ve been possible before.

This thought had crossed their minds earlier.
But in their hearts, they firmly believed Trevor was eager to divorce Celeste and marry Wynn, so they didn''t think too deeply about it.
But what if Trevor didn''t feel the same as before?
What if he was wavering? What if he wasn''t sure he wanted to divorce Celeste anymore?
If that were true, then his conveniently timed business trips during each decision window might not be a coincidence at all.
They might be... deliberate.
Lennox had thought of this too.
Something shed in her eyes as she suddenly asked Linda, "You said Jordyn told you this? Does... Does Wynn know?"
Normally, Linda could only hear things from Jordyn through Wynn.
If Linda knew, then Wynn surely would.
Linda answered honestly, "She knows. But she didn''t seem to care much about it."
Everyone froze.
Lilian''s hand tightened sharply around her cup.
Lennox didn''t notice the change in Lilian''s expression.
Hearing Linda''s answer, her face darkened slightly as she asked again, "And how long have you known about this?"
"Since the day after we found out Trev got a doctor for Celeste''s grandmother."
