Ruby immediately smiled and said, “Isn’t this Cel? Long tno see. You're getting more and more beautiful.”
“Mom...” Hearing Ruby compliment Celeste, Linda was displeased.
She had always known that Celeste was beautiful, but after not seeing her for a few years, she didn’t expect her
to be even more stunning.
Looking at Celeste’s smooth, delicate skin and outstanding temperament, jealousy surged in Linda's heart.
However, she quickly consoled herself-so what if Celeste was beautiful? Her future brother-in-law didn’t like her
anyway. He only loved her sister, Wynn.
With that thought, she felt a little better.
Harvey looked over and said, “Ruby, what brings you here?”
“We hadn't seen you in a while, Uncle Harvey, so we cto check on you,” Linda interjected.

Then, she noticed the open brocade box the store owner had just displayed. So, she deliberately raised her voice
and said, “Uncle Harvey, is this the wedding anniversary gift you customized for Aunt Lizzy? It’s so beautiful!”
Harvey smiled. “Yes.”
“Every year on your anniversary, you always prepare an expensive gift in advance to surprise Aunt Lizzy. Uncle
Harvey, you're so good to her!”
Harvey chuckled lightly.
By now, Lottie had a good idea of who Harvey and the other two were.
“So, they're a bunch of scumbags,” she muttered under her breath. She quickly settled the bill, grabbed
Celeste’s hand, and turned to leave. (1
“Cel.” Harvey stopped Celeste and walked over. “Lizzy truly cares about you. She's always thinking of you. You
and Wynn are sisters; you're family. Regarding what happened with YodaVision, | hope nothing like that happens
again-"
Celeste laughed coldly. “Are you trying to annoyon purpose?”
“You...”
“Uncle Harvey, just let her be. Not that it matters anyway-my sister wouldn't want to acknowledge her either.
What level is she even at? Does she deserve to be Wynn's sibling?”
Linda sneered and looked at Celeste. “You must feel so smug for keeping my sister out of YodaVision, right? But
did you know? The more you go against her, the more Trev feels for her.
“You see, as soon as he found out that you and that boss of YodaVision bullied her, he immediately went to cause
trouble for YodaVision. 1
“Although things didn’t go exactly as planned and he couldn't make a move against YodaVision in the end, to
make up for Wynn's grievances, Trev gave us an amazing project worth billions.
“And guess what? That project was something your uncle had been begging to get for ages. Hahaha...”
Celeste pressed her lips together, clenching her fists.
Lottie was furious and scoffed. “Has Trevor married Wynn yet? You're addressing him so intimately before they're

even married-how shameless!”
“You!”

“Enough, Linda.” Harvey held Linda back.
Then, he sighed and said to Celeste, “Cel, Wynn is a genius in the Al field. She has important work to do at
YodaVision. You need to stop being petty and stop targeting her.”
“Are you done?” Celeste’s gaze was ice-cold. “If you are, then get lost.”
Ruby, who had remained silent until now, added fuel to the fire. “Cel, how can you talk to your father like that?”
Linda chimed in, “Exactly! You have manners at all!”
Celeste’s voice was frigid. “Yes. I'm not as well-mannered as all of you, who are mistresses.”
“You-"
“Enough.” Seeing that Celeste was stubborn, Harvey was deeply disappointed. “Let's go.”
“Hmph!”
Harvey took his customized gift and quickly left with Ruby and Linda.
