Chapter 236
Ruby anxiously said, “I heard that in the few days since Martha got injured, Trevor and Celeste-even the other
members of the Rodriguez family-have been in frequent contact.
“Yesterday, someone even saw Trevor having a meal with the old lady from the Rodriguez family. Could they bel
rekindling their past relationship?”
“There was never a relationship to rekindle,” Wynn replied calmly, though she disliked Ruby's choice of words.
Seeing how worried Ruby was, Wynn patiently explained, “Madam Daniels has a close relationship with the
Rodriguez family. Trevor needs to keep Celeste and the old lady on good terms, so they'll continue visiting
Martha.
“That way, Martha won't use her surgery as leverage to forge Trevor to break up with me.”
Ruby had never thought of this.
Ever since Martha's fall, she had expelled both their families from the Fleming Group. For the past two days, both
families had been worried that Martha would demand Trevor and Wynn break up as a condition for agreeing to

surgery.
They had also been afraid that Trevor might give in.
Now that Trevor and Wynn were still together, they had assumed he had persuaded Martha. But unexpectedly,
he had resolved the issue by working through the Rodriguez family instead.
Realizing this, Ruby finally felt at ease. She then asked, “So, that project-was it Trevor's way of thanking the
Rodriguez family?”
“Yes,” Wynn replied. “It’s both a thank-you gift and a way to draw a clear boundary.”
Hearing this, Ruby couldn't help but admire him. “Trevor is truly thorough in everything he does. No wonder he
manages all his companies so well.”
With things progressing favorably, Ruby should have been happy. But...
Something suddenly cto her mind, and before she could stay happy for even a minute, she frowned.
“Because of Celeste, the Rodriguez family has already secured a project from YodaVision.
“Their business has started showing signs of revival. If they also take on a project from Fleming Group, won't
their company truly cback to life?”
Hearing this, Wynn's expression turned cold. She said, “They didn’t take the project.”
“They didn’t?”
Before Wynn could answer, Ruby figured it out on her own. So, they want Trevor to owe them a favor, giving
Celeste an excuse to stay entangled with him? What a clever scheme!”
With Trevor and Celeste about to finalize their divorce, Ruby would not allow any complications to arise.
She said, “We can't fall into their trap-"
But Wynn remained composed. “No need to worry. Trevor will handle it.”
Hearing this, Ruby recalled everything that had happened so far. Not once had Trevor let them down.
If he dared to offer the project, he had probably already anticipated that the Rodriguez family would try to take
advantage of the situation.

Trevor was so shrewd he must have already planned a way to deal with it, right?
Thinking this, Ruby finally felt completely reassured.
After a moment, as if something else had cto mind, she asked, “By the way, have you visited Madam
Daniels. in the past couple of days?”
Wynn replied, “No.”
Ruby seemed a bit disappointed. Wynn explained, “Her recovery must be smooth, without any complications.”
Right now wasn’t the right tfor her to appear.
Besides, although Trevor had managed to keep Celeste and the old lady from the Rodriguez family in check and
successfully convinced Martha to undergo surgery, her post-surgery recovery would take time.
For that, they would still need Celeste and her grandmother's presence.
Wynn was not in a hurry.
