Chapter 657
However, that was something Wynn had no intention of telling
anyone else.
Whether Beck had sent them invitations could be set aside for
now. What Harvey cared about more at the moment was
something else.
"Wynn, as for Trevor... You need to press a little harder."
Wynn replied, "I know."
She knew why Harvey said that. Locket Tech's research project
was running out of funds and was on the verge of being
suspended.
In fact, even if Harvey hadn't said anything, she would have
stepped up her efforts with Trevor anyway.
Because it wasn't just Locket Tech that was short on money
now, but InnovaTech was also in dire need of funds.
Both Locket Tech's projects and InnovaTech required
continuous, large-scale capital investment. In the past, with
Trevor's support, funding had never been a concern. But now...
The next day, Wynn went to Fleming Group.
----
Trevor wasn't at the office.
Jacob was.
Wynn asked, "Do you know roughly when Trevor will be back?"
A hint of difficulty flashed across Jacob's face. "Sorry, Ms.
Locket. Mr. Fleming has instructed that..."
Trevor had forbidden him from disclosing his whereabouts to
Wynn anymore.
Although Trevor hadn't appeared angry at the time, Jacob didn't
dare go against his orders.
A trace of darkness flickered in Wynn's eyes, but she quickly
smiled in understanding. "Alright, | understand.”

With that, she took two invitations out of her bag—one from
InnovaTech and one from Locket Tech. "Please pass these to
Trevor for me."
This time, Jacob accepted them. "I'll inform Mr. Fleming.”
Wynn nodded, thanked him politely, then turned and left.
After Wynn left, Jacob hesitated for a moment before calling
Trevor.
Trevor answered quickly. "What is it?"
----
Jacob explained, "Ms. Locket just came by the office. When she
found out you weren't here, she gave me two invitations from
Locket Tech and InnovaTech, asking me to pass them on to you.
The banquet dates are—"
After Jacob told him the dates, Trevor replied calmly, "I don't
have time." 1
He hung up the phone without a second's hesitation.
Trevor's business interests spanned a wide range of industries,
and Jacob didn't have a complete grasp of his schedule. He
couldn't tell whether Trevor truly had no time or simply didn't
want to go.
But one thing was very clear to him.
In the past, when Trevor cared deeply about Wynn, even if he
was busy, he would always make time. He had never let Wynn
down.
But now...
Jacob put his phone down. After a while, he called Wynn back. "
Ms. Locket, I've contacted Mr. Fleming. He said he has
commitments on both of those days..."
It was an expected answer, yet Wynn's heart still clenched
painfully. “Alright, | understand.”

As the New Year approached, everyone was extremely busy.
The date of InnovaTech's year-end banquet arrived quickly.
Many people in their circle knew that InnovaTech had been
given to Wynn by Trevor.
This was also Wynn's first year taking over InnovaTech. She
hosted the banquet on a rather grand scale, clearly showing how
much importance she placed on it.
Many influential guests who received invitations assumed that
Trevor would attend, so quite a few of them showed up.
But once they arrived, they realized that Trevor was nowhere to
be seen.
At first, they thought he was simply running late. But as the
banquet passed its halfway point and he still hadn't appeared, it
became clear he wasn't coming.
Miles arrived relatively late. Seeing that it was getting late and
that neither Trevor nor Beck had shown up, he couldn't help but
tag both of them in the group chat.
“Where are you guys?"
