If they could predict that she would come, how could she not have anticipated that they would be here as well? Matthias said, “Madam Klein, I’ll go inside and find Mr. Jennings Senior. Why don’t you and Cel come with me?” He was offering to introduce them to Harry, giving her a chance to speak with her idol.

But Betty shook her head and said, “Being able to see so many of the artist’s paintings in one place is already an honor for me. I don’t want to disturb him.”

Since she had made up her mind, Matthias had no choice but to drop the idea. Still, with the Lockets and the Shaws present, he was a little worried about them..

Celeste reassured him, “Go ahead, don’t worry about us.”

The Lockets and the Shaws cared a lot about their reputation. In this kind of setting, they wouldn’t dare do anything to them.

With that, Matthias left.

Celeste asked, “Grandma, which painting would you like to see first?”

Betty smiled. “Let’s start from the nearest one.”

“Alright.”

Just as Celeste was about to lead Betty away, Jorge and Xavier arrived. They spotted Celeste as soon as they stepped in.

Xavier, still harboring feelings for her, wanted to go over and say hello.

Jorge, however, instinctively frowned.

Celeste ignored them and turned away.

Betty asked, “Do you know those two young men?”

“We’ve worked together before.”

Since it was just a work–related acquaintance, Betty didn’t ask further.

At that moment, Harvey and Lilian also arrived. Just as they were about to greet large, he spoke first. “Mr. Locket, Mrs. Locket, you’re here too?”

#yes.”

Harvey was about to say something when Erin and Patricia walked over.

They asked, “Harvey, Lillan, do you know these two young en?” Earlier, they had noticed that there seemed to be some familiarity between Celeste and Jorge.

Harvey smiled and said, “This is Mr. Robinson, a friend of Wynn and Trevor.”

“I sec.”

gifts.

When they entered, they saw Matthias and weren’t surprised. “Matthias is here too?”

Since they were all attending under their elders‘ instructions, they adjusted their tone accordingly. Matthias smirked. “Yeali.”

Just then, Caleb walked out, handed a cup of tea to Matthias, and looked at Jorge, “You’re here?”

Jorge nodded. “Yeah. Where’s your grandfather?“.

“He’s inside, chatting with some guests. He’ll probably take a while. Why don’t you guys have a seat?”

Jorge sat down. “Alright.”

But Matthias seemed restless, constantly checking the time

Caleb noticed and asked, “Matthias, are you in a hurry?”

Matthias hesitated. “…No, I just have something else to take care of.” Leaving without meeting Harry would seem impolite.

However, his concern outweighed his manners. He said, “Sorry, Caleb, I need to step out for a bit.”

Caleb didn’t mind. “Go ahead.”

Matthias immediately turned and left.

Jorge watched his retreating figure and quickly guessed that he was going to Celeste.

Caleb remarked, “My grandfather will probably take a while to finish chatting. You two might as well step outside. for some fresh air too.”
