Chapter 661
The Harper Corporation and Fleming Group banquets were
scheduled for the same evening, held on different floors of the
same hotel.
Celeste and Matthias went to the Fleming Group banquet first.
As soon as Trevor learned they had arrived, he came out to greet
them personally.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Matthias promptly waved
him off. "Mr. Fleming, since you have matters to attend to, you
should go ahead. There's no need to be overly courteous with us.
Trevor nodded. “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Yoder. If
either of you needs anything, feel free to let me know."
After greeting Celeste as well, Trevor went off to receive other
guests.
Although Trevor had stayed at their banquet for quite a while the
night before, Celeste and Matthias didn't plan to linger too long
at the Fleming Group event.
Still, they waited until the banquet was halfway through before
heading upstairs to the Harper Corporation banquet.

When Beck saw Celeste arrive, he was clearly pleased. A smile
appeared on his handsome face almost immediately. "You're
here."
Matthias said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Harper. We chatted
downstairs for a bit and ended up coming late."
“It's fine. Completely understandable," Beck replied.
He wanted to talk more with Celeste, but there were many
guests at the Harper Corporation banquet as well. Before he
could say much, he had to excuse himself.
Celeste and Matthias chatted with a few others.
Matthias glanced around the room and suddenly thought of

something. "Wynn hasn't shown up? At this hour, whether it's the
Fleming Group or Harper Corporation banquet, she hasn't
appeared at all."
Only then did Celeste realize that, despite being at both
banquets for quite some time, she truly hadn't seen Wynn all
night.
She really wasn't that concerned about Wynn anymore. Hearing
this, she simply replied calmly, "Maybe something came up, and
she couldn't make it. Or she'll arrive later."
“What could possibly be keeping her busy?" Matthias said.
----
“Isn't her top priority being lovey-dovey with Trevor? Besides,
even if InnovaTech or Locket Tech is hosting banquets tonight,
with her personality, she'd definitely stop by here at least once
before leaving. There's no way she wouldn't show up at all."
Matthias's reasoning did make sense. However...
“Maybe something really came up, and she hasn't arrived yet,"
Celeste said.
Matthias thought so too.
As for Wynn's prolonged absence from both the Fleming Group
and Harper Corporation banquets, neither he nor Celeste
considered any other possibility.
They could only assume that Wynn must have been delayed by
something important.
Someone else who belatedly noticed Wynn hadn't appeared that
evening was Miles.
At that moment, he had just come upstairs to the Harper
Corporation banquet hall.
Unable to hold back, he asked Beck, "By the way, Beck—why
hasn't Wynn come tonight? | didn't see her downstairs either. Did
something happen?" 2

Beck hadn't given Wynn an invitation, so it was perfectly normal
that she didn't appear at his banquet.
What surprised him was that she hadn't shown up at the Fleming
Group banquet either.
After a brief thought, he said, "Tonight is also the banquet for
Locket Tech. She might not have time to come over until later.”
"That makes sense," Miles replied.
After that, they didn't continue the topic.
A moment later, Trevor also came up.
After exchanging a few words with Beck, he glanced toward
Celeste and Matthias, who were chatting with others not far
away.
At that moment, Miles said, "Beck and | were just talking about
getting together after the New Year. Want to discuss a time
later?"
Trevor withdrew his gaze and smiled. "Sure."
