Chapter 308
Celeste had no idea what Trevor and Jorge talked about. After lunch with Matthias, she returned to the office to
continue working
On Wednesday, she received a call from Gideon inviting her ower for dinner that weekend. He added, “Jo will be
there too.” Celeste paused for a moment and said, “Alright”
On Friday afternoon, while Celeste was in a meeting, her phone suddenly rang. Just as she was about to answer,
the call ended.
Since she was still in a meeting and the number was unfamblar, she didn’t give it much thought.
The person calling had actually been Janet.
She had officially started working at Harper Corporation on Wednesday.
She had called Celeste to tell her that she had joined the company and would be settling down in Baumond.
But just after dialing, she remembered something Linda had said that Trevor's friends, like Beck, didn’t like
Celeste. No matter how hard she tried to win them over, they never warmed up to her. Yet they had easily
accepted Wynn.
If she told Celeste about getting the job at Harper Corporation, Celeste would definitely know Wynn had a hand
in it. And if Celeste knew that, she might feel hurt. Thinking of that, Jhurriedly hung up.

After work, prompted by Lennox, she returned to the Locket residence. She hadn't even stepped through the
door when she saw several unfamiliar luxury cars parked outside the villa.
Before coming to Baumond, she had already heard from Lennox and the others that many elites and powerful
families in the city now knew about Wynn's relationship with Trevor.
Just how good Trevor was to Wynn was practically common knowledge within their circle.
Jhadn't really grasped what that meant until she arrived in Baumond herself. Seeing so many high-status
people visiting the Locket family every day, asking them for favors, she finally realized just how influential the
Locket family had become,
Learning the identities of those visitors and seeing how, despite their own status, they cin person to
connect with Wynn and her family had left Jstunned.
It was then she truly understood that Trevor's help to the Locket and Shaw families had been far greater than
she had imagined.
However, even when facing those powerful people, Jsaw Lennox speaking cautiously and respectfully, while
Wynn remained calm and distant, even actively avoiding them. Yet those people didn't dare get upset and
continued to flatter her.
Seeing the luxury cars in the yard, Jknew more guests had arrived.
She entered through the side door, went upstairs, and didn’t draw anyone's attention. Wynn was upstair out for
speace and quiet. When she saw Janet, she looked over and asked, “Just got off work?”
Jstopped. “Yeah”
Since Wynn had already spoken to Beck, she knew Jgetting hired at Harper Corporation wouldn't be a
problem, so she didn’t pay much attention to the matter.

She flipped a page of her book, then, as if remembering something, looked up and asked, “Did Beck say
anything

to you when you met?”
Janet, seeing Wynn reading again, couldnt help but admire how hardworking, she was.

She had even heard that Wynn had been attending stech conferences recently and caught the attention of
several influential figures.
Thinking of this, Jsnapped back to attention and answered, “I haven't met Mr. Harper yet.”
Wynn paused. “Beck didn’t reach out to you?”
“No, he didn't.”
Wynn had thought Beck, upon learning Jwas related to her, would at least meet her once and ask someone
to look out for her..
But then again, if he had done that, it might not have been good for Janet's Image at work.

Thinking that, she said, “It’s fine.”
Jnodded and didn’t say more before heading back to her room.
Wynn put down her book and gave Beck a call. He let the phone ring for quite a while before finally answering,
Hello.”
Wynn smiled. “I heard Jhas started at Harper Corporation. Thank you, Beck. Are you free over the next
couple of days? I'd like to treat you to a meal.”
Beck replied in a detached tone, “Jgot in on her own merit. There's no need to thank me.”
If he hadn't specifically looked into it, how would he know she got in by merit?
Wynn smiled but didn’t say anything about that. She was just about to speak when Beck interrupted, “I've got
things to do. Let's talk another time.”
Wynn knew Beck had been busy with work lately. “Alright.
Once she replied, she hung up the call without hesitation.
In truth, Beck didn’t have anything urgent going on. What he really wanted was to call Celeste.
As soon as Wynn ended the call, he dialed Celeste’s number
