Lottie was absolutely livid. Her voice trembled with fury as she ranted about Wynn. "What the hell! She's just the daughter of a mistress – and a mistress herself! What the hell is she so smug about? Miss Popular? Pfft! She's nothing but trash!" Her words were sharp daggers, each one aimed at the woman who seemed to have everyone under her spell.
Celeste, ever composed, poured Lottie another glass of water and calmly asked, "Miss Popular?" The name rolled off her tongue like a forgotten melody.
Lottie's anger flared again. "Wynn is just like what that friend of Jorge's, Xavier, said earlier – those brainless second-generation rich kids are all bewitched by her for some reason. Now, everyone calls her 'Miss Popular,' like she's some kind of goddess that everyone loves!" She paused, realizing she might have cut too deep, and quickly added, "Fine, let those idiots fawn over her, but even Trevor and Jorge?" Her eyes widened with concern. "No, Cel, I didn't mean –"
Celeste shook her head gently. "I'm fine."
And she meant it. She had been built for this. From childhood, Harvey, Lennox, and even her paternal grandmother, Erin, had always sided with Wynn. Two years ago, Trevor fell for her at first sight. Even Jordyn wanted Wynn as a mother. But Celeste never spoke of it, never cried over it. She had endured it all in silence – not with broken sobs, but with a quiet, unyielding strength. Compared to all that, what were Jorge's words? Mere echoes in a storm she had long weathered.
Lottie paused, then wrapped her arms around Celeste. "Cel..."
Celeste smiled softly. "It's getting late. Let's go home."
"Okay! And about your grandma's birthday gift – I'll go shopping with you another day. There's no way we won't find something perfect!"
Celeste nodded. "Alright."
They walked out of the building, hand in hand, heading to the parking lot. And there they were – Trevor and Wynn, also leaving. The air grew thick with unspoken words. Celeste acted as if she hadn't seen them, slipping into her car first. Lottie huffed at the couple and pulled open the passenger door. The car sped away.
Wynn looked at Trevor. He said simply, "Let's go." She smiled sweetly, "Okay." But as she glanced in the direction Celeste had left, her smile grew deeper, more enigmatic.
After dropping Lottie home, Celeste's phone buzzed. It was Jordyn.
"Mom, when are you coming back?"
Celeste started the car. "Not tonight. Go to bed early. I'll visit you when I have time."
"Oh... Okay." The girl's tone was flat.
Celeste understood. Lately, Jordyn had been glued to Wynn. But tonight, with Wynn and Trevor at the auction, she was left alone. Loneliness had reminded her of Celeste.
"Goodnight," Celeste said.
"Mmm, goodnight, Mom."
For two days, Celeste was buried in work. She had planned to shop for her grandma's birthday gift but never found the time. Then, on the third day at noon, Matthias treated the team to a big lunch.
After eating, Celeste went to the restroom. On her way back to the private dining room, she stopped dead in her tracks.
Not far away, Wynn was leaving another private room with seven or eight others. They quickly entered an elevator, not noticing her. But Celeste saw them all – Harvey, Lennox, and others. A beautiful woman was clinging to Harvey's arm – clearly his new wife. And there was an elderly lady, supported by Wynn.
Matthias appeared beside her. "Was that...?" He had seen them too.
Celeste withdrew her gaze. "The Locket family."
Matthias understood. He looked at her, hesitating. "That elderly lady... Is she –"
That was Erin.
"She has nothing to do with me anymore."
Matthias gave her a hug. "Shall we head back?"
"Sure."
She had changed her last name long ago. They were strangers now. And she didn't care. But something else nagged at her. A while back, Wynn's uncle's family – the Shaw family – had been buying property in Baumond, planning to settle there. She had suspected the Locket family would follow. And now, seeing almost all of them in the city, it seemed like the move was happening.
That afternoon, Celeste finished work early. She and Lottie grabbed dinner and went shopping. But after an hour, they still found nothing. While Lottie tried on clothes, Celeste's phone rang again. Jordyn.
"Mom, when are you coming back?"
"What's wrong?" Celeste asked flatly.
"Dad's on a business trip, and I'm so bored!"
Celeste understood. Usually, with Trevor away, Jordyn would flock to Wynn. But tomorrow was the weekend, and she was calling Celeste instead. Most likely, Wynn was too busy. With Erin and the others in town and Trevor gone, Wynn had no time for Jordyn.
"Play by yourself for now. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Okay!" Jordyn's voice brightened. "Promise you'll be back tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Okay."
That night, she still hadn't found a satisfactory gift. Her grandma's birthday was approaching, and Celeste considered settling for something decent. But she couldn't compromise.
The next morning, Celeste returned to Trevor's villa. While Jordyn ate, Celeste remembered something she needed and went upstairs to the master bedroom. The moment she walked in, she noticed two exquisitely crafted brocade boxes sitting on her vanity table.
Her heart stopped. What were those? And who had put them there?

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a beautifully layered chapter! The contrast between Lottie's fiery rage and Celeste's quiet resignation is masterfully drawn. We see Celeste's inner strength as she endures decades of pain without breaking. The encounter with the Locket family is a cold reminder of her past. And the mysterious brocade boxes at the end – a perfect cliffhanger! This chapter tugs at the heartstrings while building suspense. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 5/5 Stars**.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Those brocade boxes are no coincidence. Could they be from Trevor? Or perhaps from someone in the Locket family? And what is Wynn's true game? With Trevor away and the Locket family moving to Baumond, tensions are about to explode. I predict we'll see a confrontation between Celeste and Wynn, and those boxes might hold the key to hidden truths.
