Chapter 131

Neither Celeste nor Trevor spoke again.Celeste's younger cousins had rarely seen Trevor before. Now that they were seeing him in person, they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.As someone who had held a position of power for years, Trevor exuded authority effortlessly, even without trying. When he noticed their gazes, he glanced at them briefly.Unable to meet his eyes, they instinctively looked away, not daring to stare any longer.Trevor showed no reaction to this, nor did he make any effort to exchange pleasantries. He simply shifted his gaze away, calm and indifferent.Trevor was the man Celeste loved. She had thrown herself into this love headfirst, and after all these years, she still couldn't escape.Given the way Trevor had treated his own niece for so long, it was impossible for Ivan not to harbor resentment toward him.However, what could he do?The Rodriguez family was powerless against Trevor.Now that Trevor was here, as the host, Ivan had no choice bu

Zachary said, "Sure."Trevor nodded and turned to Celeste. "Are you going home tonight?"Celeste had still been going over the conversation between Trevor and Zachary in her head. When he suddenly spoke to her, she paused for a moment before responding, "No."Trevor nodded again. "Got it." Then he stood up and said, "I'll come by later to pick Jo up."That meant he was leaving.Celeste replied coldly, "Got it."Trevor didn't say anything else to her. Instead, he walked over to Betty and said, "Madam Klein, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."Betty didn't stand up, and her tone was equally cold, "Sure. I won't see you off."Trevor didn't seem bothered by her indifference. He turned to Ivan, gave him a slight nod as a form of greeting, and then left the banquet hall.Outside the hotel, Beck had just stepped out of his car when he saw Trevor walking out. His movements stalled for a brief moment.Trevor quickly got into his car and drove off.Beck watched but re

Jordyn wrapped her arms around Celeste's neck, burying her small face against it to shield herself from the cold wind.Celeste's clothes were soft and warm, and Jordyn snuggled into her embrace, rubbing her face against her neck with enjoyment.Trevor was always punctual. By the time Celeste carried Jordyn to the parking lot, his car had pulled in.Seeing them, the car stopped right beside Celeste.Even though her dad had arrived, Jordyn didn't get down from Celeste's arms. Instead, she playfully said to Trevor, who had lowered the car window, "Dad, carry me inside."Trevor didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car and took Jordyn from Celeste's arms.Happily, Jordyn swung her legs in the air while nestled in his hold.As Trevor leaned in to take her, Celeste caught a familiar scent—Wynn's perfume.When he had been sitting beside her earlier, he hadn't smelled like this.This meant that after leaving them, he had gone to the Shaw family.Trevor looked at her and said,

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste's hesitation, Beck said, "I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle."Hearing this, Celeste asked, "Are you sure?""I'm sure."Celeste knew Ivan's company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Alright.""Let me know when you're free, and I'll arrange a time to meet.""Alright," Celeste replied.At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, "The night wind is chilly. You should head inside."Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.Beck remained where he was.As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.Only after watching her car disappear into the distance did Beck get into his own car and leave.Betty, Ivan

It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather.At that moment, Celeste's phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lottie, asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon.Celeste replied via voice message, "I have things to do today, so I won't be going. You go ahead and have fun.""Alright then."In the evening, while Celeste stepped out of Zachary's study to get some water, Lottie sent her another message.This time, it was a few photos. And the people in the photos were none other than Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, Beck, and Shanice.Then, Lottie sent another message: "My friends and I were having such a great time skiing, but then we ran into them. Totally ruined the mood!"Celeste only clicked on one photo. Once she confirmed who was in them, she didn't bother looking at the rest.Seeing Lottie's complaint, she calmly replied with a voice message, "Just enjoy yourselves and ignore them."Lottie qu

After watching Jordyn and Beck leave, Trevor and Wynn also got into their car and headed to the restaurant.A few minutes after they arrived in their private dining room, Zachary also arrived."Mr. Newman." Seeing Zachary push the door open, Trevor and Wynn both stood up to greet him.Zachary showed no surprise upon seeing Wynn.Wynn politely reintroduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Newman. My name is Wynn Locket. We met before at the technology exhibition—""I know." Zachary's expression remained neutral as he briefly shook her hand.After he had sat down, Wynn took the seat beside him and said, "I greatly admire you. I've always hoped for the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the AI industry face-to-face.""Mm."At that moment, Trevor's phone buzzed. He stood up and said to them, "I need to take a call. You two go ahead and talk."Wynn nodded.After Trevor had stepped out, Wynn picked up the menu and handed it to Zachary. "Mr. Newman, shall we order first and discuss t

Wynn was momentarily stunned before she pressed her lips together.This wasn't the answer she'd wanted.Zachary was about to push the door open and leave when Wynn quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Newman, how do you think I should improve?"Zachary paused for a brief moment and replied indifferently, "Do more research. Keep up with the latest developments in the industry."Just as he finished speaking, Trevor returned.Before he could say anything, Zachary stated, "I've done what I needed to do. I'll contact you in a few days.""Alright."With that, Zachary left.Trevor looked at Wynn and noticed her expression wasn't great. "Didn't go well?"Wynn nodded frankly. "He didn't accept me.""What did Mr. Newman say? Tell me about it."Wynn recounted the entire conversation, including Zachary's evaluation and advice."You're definitely capable," Trevor said. "And I think his advice is quite fair."Wynn paused. Lately, she had indeed spent less time diving into professiona

Maybe because he saw how exhausted they were, Zachary let Matthias and Celeste go home early that night.After a long day, Celeste took a shower as soon as she got home and went to bed early.…There was something that needed their attention at InnovaTech the next day.In the afternoon, Celeste and Matthias found time to make a trip there. As soon as they arrived, they started discussing technical issues.Not long after, Jorge and Xavier walked in, led by InnovaTech staff. Both of them looked surprised to see Celeste.Xavier raised an eyebrow. "She's actually an employee at InnovaTech? What a coincidence."Jorge shrugged. He didn't even really know her, so how would he know if she worked at InnovaTech?Hearing their conversation, one of the InnovaTech staff members said, "Are you talking about Ms. Rodriguez? She's not an employee here. She's a tech specialist from YodaVision, and she's here today to help with some technical issues."Sensing that someone was looking at her, Cel

However, Celeste didn't look up and continued discussing technical matters with the InnovaTech staff.Albert smiled. "Mr. Yoder, do you know Mr. Robinson and Mr. York?"Matthias replied, "Yeah."After all, they were all second- or third-generation elites in Baumond's upper circles, so naturally, they knew each other.It was just that he had taken a different path from them, so they weren't particularly close.After exchanging brief greetings with Matthias, Jorge and Xavier followed Albert to another area to discuss their business.Wynn, however, stayed with Matthias.She had also noticed Celeste, but after just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze, uninterested, and refocused on Matthias."Mr. Yoder, did you just arrive?" she asked.Matthias was highly capable in his own right, and on top of that, he was Zachary's student.Even though she could tell that he held some bias against her because of Celeste and had always been somewhat cold toward her, she still wanted to mai

Jorge asked, "Are you familiar with that woman?"Hearing him mention Celeste, Wynn's fingers briefly tightened on the keyboard. She instinctively thought he might be interested in her.Celeste was indeed beautiful. But recalling what she had overheard at the auction that day, along with Jorge's current attitude, she quickly realized she had been mistaken.Expressionless, she replied, "Not really. Why?"Jorge glanced in Celeste and Matthias's direction and said, "Judging by how she talks with Matthias, she seems quite capable."Wynn said indifferently, "I'm not sure, but I heard she only has a bachelor's degree.""Only a bachelor's degree?""Mm."That explained a lot. With a lower academic background than Wynn and lacking the same striking charm, it was understandable that she would feel insecure about Matthias being taken away.Jorge could understand Celeste's nervousness about losing Matthias.But seeing someone better than herself and instantly treating them as an enemy, al
