Celeste had no idea what Trevor and Jorge discussed behind closed doors. After her lunch with Matthias, she returned to the office and lost herself in work, trying not to think too much about the strange tension in the air. Then, on Wednesday, her phone buzzed with a call from Gideon. He invited her over for dinner that weekend and added, almost casually, "Jo will be there too." Celeste paused, her heart skipping a beat at the mention of Jo's name, and then quietly agreed.
But on Friday afternoon, while she was deep in a meeting, her phone rang again. She glanced at the screen—an unfamiliar number—and before she could answer, the call ended. She didn't think much of it. After all, she was busy, and unknown numbers were easy to ignore.
That call, however, had been from Janet.
Janet had officially started working at Harper Corporation on Wednesday. She had dialed Celeste's number to share the good news—that she was finally settling down in Baumond. But just as the call connected, a memory stopped her cold. Linda had once told her that Trevor's friends, people like Beck, had never warmed up to Celeste. No matter how hard Celeste tried, they remained distant. Yet with Wynn, they had opened their arms without hesitation. If Janet told Celeste about getting the job—and that Wynn had a hand in it—would Celeste feel hurt? Would she feel like she was always being measured against someone else? Janet's finger hit the end button before she could think twice.
After work, prompted by Lennox, Janet returned to the Locket residence. As she approached the villa, she stopped in her tracks. Several unfamiliar luxury cars lined the driveway. Even before stepping through the door, she could feel the weight of the visitors inside.
She had heard from Lennox and the others that many elites and powerful families in Baumond now knew about Wynn's relationship with Trevor. But hearing about it and seeing it were two different things. Every day, high-status people came to the Locket home, asking for favors, seeking connections. Janet watched from the side as Lennox spoke cautiously and respectfully to these powerful figures, while Wynn remained calm, even distant, actively avoiding them. Yet no one dared to show frustration. Instead, they flattered her endlessly.
Janet slipped through the side door and went upstairs, hoping not to draw attention. There, she found Wynn reading, seeking peace away from the crowd downstairs.
"Just got off work?" Wynn asked, looking up.
"Yeah," Janet replied.
Wynn, knowing she had already spoken to Beck about Janet's employment, didn't press further. Since Beck had been told, the job was as good as settled. But then Wynn paused, flipping a page of her book, and asked, "Did Beck say anything to you when you met?"
Janet blinked. "I haven't met Mr. Harper yet."
Wynn's hand stilled. "Beck didn't reach out to you?"
"No, he didn't."
Wynn had assumed Beck would at least meet Janet once, perhaps assign someone to look after her. But then again, if he had done that, it might have caused trouble for Janet's image at work. She let out a soft sigh. "It's fine."
Janet nodded and retreated to her room.
Wynn put down her book and dialed Beck's number. The phone rang for a long time before Beck finally answered, his voice flat. "Hello."
Wynn forced a warm smile into her voice. "I heard Janet has 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's response came detached and cold. "Janet got in on her own merit. There's no need to thank me."
Wynn smiled knowingly. If he hadn't specifically looked into it, how would he know she got in by merit? But she let it slide. Just as she was about to speak again, Beck cut her off. "I've got things to do. Let's talk another time."
Wynn understood he was busy. "Alright." She hung up without hesitation.
But the truth was, Beck had nothing urgent to handle. What he really wanted—what he had been waiting for—was to call Celeste. As soon as Wynn ended the call, he dialed Celeste's number, his heart pounding with a purpose he couldn't quite name.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was a masterpiece of subtle tension! The quiet pain of Celeste being unknowingly shut out, the careful dance of Wynn's influence, and the cold distance Beck maintains—it all weaves together so beautifully. Janet's moment of hesitation broke my heart because she's trying to protect Celeste from a truth that might hurt, but in doing so, she's keeping her in the dark. And Beck? He's clearly conflicted. He won't admit he helped Janet, and he hangs up on Wynn just to call Celeste. What is he planning? This chapter left me breathless with anticipation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
I think Beck's call to Celeste is going to change everything. He might warn her about something—or maybe he's going to confess feelings he's been hiding. But with Wynn's influence growing and Trevor still in the background, a storm is brewing. Will Celeste finally learn the truth about who pulled Janet's strings? And will Wynn sense that Beck's loyalty is wavering? Next chapter is going to be explosive!
