The birthday banquet was buzzing with elegant chatter and clinking glasses, but the tension in the air was far from festive. Jorge and Miles stood nearby, oblivious to the deep grudges between Celeste and the Lockets and Shaws. They had overheard Erin’s dismissive remark about her granddaughter being mistaken for Wynn, but they didn’t think much of it. Neither Harvey nor Lennox spoke a word in Celeste’s defense. Linda watched the scene unfold with a smug satisfaction that she didn’t bother to hide. Janet seemed to want to say something, but the weight of the crowd pressed her into silence, and she simply lowered her head.
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Betty stepped out with Jamie and Hector by her side.
“Celeste?” Hector’s voice broke through the noise as he spotted his sister about to leave.
Celeste turned, her heart tightening as she saw her grandmother and younger siblings. She also caught sight of Trevor in the crowd, but she quickly averted her eyes. Her gaze fell on Harvey, Lilian, and the rest of the Locket clan, and a bitter taste filled her mouth. She pressed her lips together, then walked back to Betty, gently taking her arm. “Granny, the wedding banquet is over there,” she said softly.
For her 70th birthday, Erin had invited prominent families and elites from Youtopia. Among them were those who remembered the old grudge between the Locket and Rodriguez families. Though they hadn’t seen Betty in years, recognition flickered in their eyes the moment they saw her. And when they heard Celeste call her “Granny,” and noticed Celeste’s youthful face, they realized this beautiful young woman must be Erin’s other granddaughter – the one who had vanished from Locket family gatherings after Harvey divorced his first wife.
Rumors had circulated that Eric had completely abandoned this granddaughter after his son’s remarriage. Many had dismissed it as idle gossip. But watching Erin’s cold, dismissive treatment of Celeste just now, they knew the rumors were true. Even more telling, Harvey – her own father – stood there silently, offering no word of defense. He had no intention of acknowledging her.
Some guests remembered the scandal: Harvey divorcing the well-matched Rodriguez heiress to marry a poor girl. They had thought him mad. Then came whispers of the Rodriguez family’s decline, while the Locket family soared thanks to the granddaughter born from that other woman. Erin’s grandson was said to be exceptionally talented. Now, seeing the Locket family’s prosperity and the Rodriguez’s fall, many thought Erin and Harvey had made the right choice.
Because the Lockets were now so prominent, many had traveled from Youtopia to attend Erin’s banquet. Even top-tier elites who once would never have associated with the Lockets had come, earning the family considerable clout.
When these Youtopia elites recognized Betty, they noticed that the Lockets and Shaws said nothing about her presence. It became clear the family didn’t want the past discussed. So, even though some recognized Betty, no one stepped forward to greet her. Instead, they turned their attention to Wynn and Calvin.
One guest smiled at Erin right in front of Celeste and Betty, “Madam Locket, your grandchildren are so outstanding – in both looks and demeanor. You are truly blessed.”
Wynn and Calvin were indeed the pride of Erin and the entire Locket family. Erin didn’t spare Celeste another glance. She looked lovingly at Calvin and Wynn and smiled, “You’re exaggerating.”
Whatever she said next, Celeste didn’t hear. She and her family had already moved past the crowd and walked away. She hadn’t looked at Trevor again.
Jorge and Miles watched her leave in silence. They hadn’t expected to see Celeste here, nor to witness the awkward moment when she was mistaken for Wynn.
At that moment, Beck’s secretary arrived with a gift box, handing it to Erin. When they learned Beck couldn’t attend in person, both the Lockets and Shaws were disappointed. The Shaw family, especially, felt anxious. Linda had caused a mess, and Ruby and Patricia desperately hoped a marriage between Linda and Beck could turn things around. But Beck hadn’t come.
Miles was surprised. He hadn’t heard of Beck having any special plans. Wynn frowned unconsciously. Trevor showed no reaction.
Meanwhile, Celeste and her family arrived at the wedding banquet hall. After sitting for a short while, her phone rang. It was Jordyn.
Celeste hesitated. But Betty, sitting beside her, saw the name on the screen. Thinking about how Trevor and Wynn had appeared at Erin’s birthday while Jordyn was nowhere to be seen, she guessed Trevor had left the girl at home. Feeling sorry for her, Betty urged Celeste to answer.
Celeste had guessed the same. Not wanting to ignore Jordyn’s call in front of Betty, she stood and found a quieter spot.
“Mom, this Sunday is Mother’s Day! I got you a present! Can I come see you on Sunday?” Jordyn’s voice was thrilled.
Mother’s Day… Celeste paused for a few seconds before gently replying, “Okay.” Then she asked, “Are you home alone right now?”
“Yeah! Dad hasn’t come back yet,” Jordyn answered cheerfully.
Celeste said nothing. Technically, Jordyn was Erin’s great-granddaughter. Wynn claimed to love Jordyn dearly, yet she hadn’t thought to bring her to Erin’s birthday. Was that genuine care? It was such a simple truth – did Trevor really not see it? Then again, given his feelings for Wynn, even a flimsy excuse from her would probably be enough to make him believe her without question.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a masterclass in subtle cruelty and quiet resilience. The pain of being invisible to your own family, the humiliation of being compared to a favored sibling, and the bittersweet sweetness of a child’s love – all woven together. The moment with Jordyn’s call is a ray of light in an otherwise cold scene. I felt Celeste’s loneliness, but also her strength.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Mother’s Day is coming, and Jordyn’s innocent desire to see her mother will likely force Celeste and Trevor into an unavoidable encounter. Will Trevor finally see the cracks in his perfect picture with Wynn? Or will he double down, pushing Celeste further away? And what will Beck’s absence from the banquet mean for the Shaw family’s schemes? The tension is building!
