Xavier continued, "Then how about you talk to Matthias? You and Matthias have some connection, right?"Caleb replied, "I could, but I don't think Matthias would listen."From the way Celeste had looked when she agreed to switch dance partners that night, Caleb had sensed that she and Matthias were not in a romantic relationship.But at the same time, it was clear that Matthias valued Celeste deeply.He didn't believe that even if he helped Jorge reconcile with Matthias, Matthias would suddenly agree to collaborate with Jorge."So, we still have to focus on Ms. Rodriguez? But we don't know much about her. How should we approach her? Should we get someone to look into her background?" Xavier lamented.Jorge shook his head. "Forget it. I don't want to waste any more time on her. I'll just reach out to my old man later."Caleb immediately caught on. "You mean you want to go through Mr. Newman?""Exactly."Matthias was Zachary's student. If Zachary spoke up, Jorge believed Matthias

Besides, Celeste and Jorge weren't exactly enemies. It was just that in that situation, Celeste wasn't in the wrong, and she didn't want to compromise too easily.Now that Theodore had personally reached out, she could give him this courtesy.However…At that moment, Theodore spoke gently, "Cel, there's no rush. Take your time to think about it and reply to me when you're ready."Celeste responded, "Okay."Theodore added, "As for Jorge, just treat him however you see fit. You don't have to do it for my sake."Celeste replied, "I understand."Hearing her straightforward response, Theodore chuckled. "Alright, then I won't disturb you any longer. Let's chat again when we have time.""Okay. Goodbye."After ending the call, Celeste thought for a moment and then dialed Zachary.It took Zachary half an hour to return the call. "What is it?"Celeste briefly explained the situation.Zachary responded, "Theodore doesn't easily promise favors. You should think it through carefully." H

Celeste's calm demeanor made it seem as if she had already known they would end up working together.Jorge didn't think too much about it, assuming that Matthias had given her a heads-up in advance. He responded indifferently, "Looking forward to working with you."At the restaurant, just as Celeste and Matthias were about to head upstairs after getting out of the car, Jorge caught sight of Trevor and Wynn entering from another side.He paused and greeted them, "Mr. Fleming, Ms. Locket."Trevor and Wynn also noticed them.Trevor nodded, "Mr. Robinson, Mr. Yoder."Matthias, wearing a polite yet insincere smile, replied, "Mr. Fleming."Before Trevor could say anything, Matthias cut him off, "You two go ahead and chat—we'll head up first."With that, he stepped into the elevator with Celeste.Back when they ran into each other at InnovaTech, Jorge had already noticed that Matthias had no fondness for Trevor.This time, Matthias didn't even bother hiding it, which surprised Jorge

Celeste nodded. "Mm."Jorge kept quiet.Matthias was simply trying to make things difficult for Jorge.In reality, neither of them cared about the money.During the meal, they began discussing business seriously. Celeste sat quietly, eating and only speaking up when necessary.For the most part, she stayed silent.Jorge noticed this and was somewhat surprised—whenever Celeste did interject, her comments were insightful and constructive.She actually seemed quite capable.Before, he had assumed that in her relationship with Matthias, Celeste was the one clinging to him, the lower-ranked party, the one actively pursuing him.But observing their dynamic during this meal, it seemed to be the other way around. Then again, perhaps this was exactly how Celeste had managed to completely captivate Matthias.After all, if she didn't have any real abilities, how could Matthias be so taken with her?When the meal was almost over, Celeste excused herself to go to the restroom.As she wa

Celeste returned to the private dining room, and a while later, Jorge also came back.By then, they had finished eating, so they left the restaurant.Jorge returned to his company to prepare materials, while Celeste and Matthias headed back to YodaVision.Around 3:00 pm, Beck arrived at YodaVision at nearly the same time as Jorge.They had dined together before during the autonomous vehicle tests at InnovaTech.Seeing Beck now, Jorge greeted him, "Mr. Harper, have you confirmed your partnership with YodaVision?""Yes. So that means Mr. Robinson is also ready to sign the contract?""That's right."Beck was a little surprised. After all, at the banquet before, Matthias had outright rejected Jorge without hesitation.He didn't expect that in the end, they would still end up working together. But what exactly changed?At that moment, Celeste and Matthias entered the reception room.Although Matthias wasn't particularly fond of either Beck or Jorge, it was clear that Beck had a m

Not long after, Trevor received a call from the auction house.Upon hearing the news, his expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Alright, I got it."The person on the other end asked, "Would you like us to hold onto these two items for you?"Trevor said, "No need."Sensing his indifference, the caller didn't dare to ask further and quickly ended the call.Sitting beside him at the dining table, Wynn asked, "Something wrong with the company?"Trevor put his phone back in his pocket and replied, "No, it was a call from the auction house."Wynn smiled and was about to say something when Jordyn interjected, "What's an auction house?"Trevor, holding his knife and fork, cut a piece of meat and replied, "A place where treasures are auctioned.""Auctioning treasures? What kind of treasures? Is it fun?"Wynn chuckled. "It's actually quite fun. Jordyn, have you never been to one?"Jordyn shook her head. "Nope." She then asked, "Are there a lot of treasures there?"Trevor repl

Trevor's feelings for Wynn were beyond doubt. So, that scene where Trevor was holding Celeste was most likely just a misunderstanding.…On Friday morning, shortly after Celeste got up, she received a call from Betty, asking her to accompany her to Harry Jennings' art exhibition on Sunday morning.Betty was a devoted fan of Harry, a renowned artist. The last time he held an exhibition was over a decade ago.Since this was a rare opportunity, Celeste said, "Sure, I'll go with you on Sunday."Just as she hung up, another call came in—it was Jordyn.This was the first time Jordyn had called her since Monday, after attending the parent-child event at her school.Celeste didn't pick up.…On Saturday afternoon, she went back to the Rodriguez residence for dinner.Then, on Sunday morning, Celeste and Betty left together for the exhibition.When they arrived, just as Celeste stepped out of the car, she saw Matthias' car pulling in as well.Surprised, she called out, "Matthias?"M

Celeste tightened her grip on Betty's arm.Betty calmly patted the back of her hand and said, "It's fine."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 woul

Jorge recalled that Harvey had mentioned Wynn and Trevor would also be attending. So, he stood up and said, "Alright, once your grandfather is done, send me a message.""Sure."Jorge and Xavier then stepped outside.Just as they left, Beck and Miles arrived.The Lockets and the Shaws immediately went up to greet them.Beck shook hands with Harvey. Then, Miles glanced around. "Where are Trevor and Wynn? They haven't—"Before he could finish his sentence, his gaze landed on Celeste. "Damn!"She was here too.Beck, unaware of what was going on, followed his gaze and also spotted Celeste. His eyes darkened slightly.At that moment, Matthias was walking toward Celeste and Betty.Beck turned back to Miles and Harvey and said, "I'm going over to say hello." With that, he left."Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez." Hearing his voice, Matthias and Celeste turned around.Matthias greeted, "Oh, it's Mr. Harper."Upon hearing the name, Betty recalled what Hector and Ivan had mentioned before an

Seeing Beck actually talking to Celeste, Linda's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't help but ask Miles, "Why is Beck talking to her?"Before Miles could respond, she immediately started walking in their direction.Lilian grabbed her arm and said calmly, "They're discussing business.""Business?""Mhm."Linda pursed her lips and huffed, suppressing her impulses, but her eyes remained fixed on Celeste and Beck.Celeste was wearing a long winter dress today. Even though she hadn't put much effort into dressing up, she still stood out.Standing next to Beck, they unexpectedly looked well-matched.Although Linda knew there couldn't be anything between them, she still felt uneasy. She couldn't help but tug at Miles' sleeve. "Miles, what are they talking about? Why is it taking so long?"Linda's feelings for Beck were obvious.Miles had known Beck for years and was well aware that Beck wasn't interested in girls with a spoiled, willful personality like hers.Besides, Beck had made
