The Scent of 150
Chapter 150
As they left InnovaTech and got into the car, Matthias was still fuming.
Something suddenly occurred to him, and he turned to Celeste. “By the way, who was that woman in the
business suit standing behind Wynn? She looked at you strangely. Do you two know each other?”
Celeste replied, “Wynn's cousin.”
“So, it's already bad enough that Trevor brought Wynn into InnovaTech, but he actually took in her family too? At
this rate, | wouldn't be surprised if InnovaTech changes its nto Locket in a few months.”
Celeste felt the sway. But she simply hummed a response.
Given how much Trevor adored Wynn, she wouldn't even be surprised if he handed InnovaTech over to her
entirely. Letting the Shaw family work at InnovaTech was nothing.
Matthias decided to stop talking about it before he got even more frustrated.

That night, Celeste and Matthias stayed out late, working on replicating the engine specs of Trevor's self-driving
car.
On the way home, snow began to fall.
When they arrived, Celeste was just about to take a shower when her phone rang.
It was Trevor.
She ignored the call, picked up her clothes, and went into the bathroom.
When she cout, she checked her phone and saw that Trevor had called twice. Since she didn’t answer, he
had sent a message.
“Jordyn has a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow.”
Celeste read it and typed a short reply, “I'm not available tomorrow.” Then, she put her phone aside and didn’t
think about it anymore.
Meanwhile, Trevor was busy while Jordyn was playing with his phone. When she saw Celeste’s reply. She lit up
with excitement.
“Dad! Mom said she’s not available tomorrow! That means can ask Wynn to go to my parent-teacher meeting,
right?”
Without looking up, Trevor responded with a simple hum.
“Yay! Awesome!” Jordyn jumped up from the couch, cheering and flailing her arms in excitement.
Trevor added, “I will be going too.”
Jordyn grinned. “I know! If Wynn is going, of course, you'd go too.”
The next day at YodaVision, Celeste was at work, discussing a project with Yandel, when her phone suddenly
chimed.
It was a message from Jordyn’s homeroom teacher: “Mrs. Fleming, will you be attending today’s parent-teacher
meeting for Jordyn?”
Celeste saw the message and replied, “I'm busy. | won't be attending.”

A while later, the teacher sent another message: “Jordyn’s father and another woman cto the meeting in
your place today...” Attached to the message was a photo.
In the picture, Trevor and Wynn were sitting together. Jordyn sat beside Wynn, clinging affectionately to her arm.
Celeste wasn't surprised. After all, Jordyn had been hoping she wouldn't go and that Wynn would take her place.
Since Wynn was attending in her stead, how could Trevor possibly let Wynn go alone?
While the teacher seemed concerned for her, Celeste simply replied, “I know, it’s fine. Thank you, Ms. Alper.”
Then, she put her phone down and went back to work.
Busy days always passed quickly. Before she knew it, it was Friday.
That morning, not long after she woke up, she got a call from Beck. He said that Shanice wanted to go camping.
Celeste paused. “The kind where we stay overnight?”
“Yes.” Beck reassured her, “Don’t worry, I'll arrange for security. I'll prepare everything-sleeping bags, tents,
heaters. You just need to show up.”
