Chapter 107

Author: Cloudsearcher
Although Ivan had lowered his voice and avoided Betty when handing over the invitation, Celeste understood everything perfectly.

She replied, "I know."

Betty and Martha were close friends. By right, Martha would attend Betty's birthday celebration.

However, since Martha was older than Betty, according to their customs, elderly guests older than the birthday celebrant would not attend.

For the past few years, Betty's birthdays had not been grand affairs. It was just a simple family dinner.

And in all those years, Trevor had never once attended Betty's birthday. He excused himself by saying he was busy from the beginning.

But Celeste knew that even if he had free time—enough to go out and have fun with friends—he still wouldn't show up.

Even so, every year as Betty's birthday approached, she would always hold onto a bit of hope and ask him in advance if he was available, if he could accompany her back to the Rodriguez residence to celebrate.

But every time, she was met with disap

    Kieran frowned. "Not a single lead?""Yeah," his friend replied. "I heard she got married pretty young, but apparently her relationship with her husband wasn't great."The Rodriguez family's neighbors say they've never even seen the guy. It seems like her family doesn't like him either. They won't even mention him."After a short pause, he added, "Also, they already have a child."Kieran abruptly looked up, thinking he must have misheard. "What did you say?""It's true. I was just as shocked when I found out. You'd never guess, just looking at her."Indeed.He had worked with Celeste at YodaVision for so long and had never once heard her mention a child. Nothing about her gave that impression either.Seeing how stunned he was, his friend asked, "Want me to keep going?"The implication was clear—Celeste had been married and had a child. Would Kieran still like her? If not, then there was no point in continuing to dig into her past.Kieran stood there silently.He had everythi

    Celeste and Dane quoted extensively and engaged in a lively, back-and-forth discussion.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the more Dane spoke with Celeste, the more excited and impressed he became.In fact, during their conversation, he even discovered a few gaps in his own knowledge. But that only delighted him.He couldn't help but say, "I knew I wasn't wrong—Rodriguez, you really are better than me."His remark shocked those standing nearby and listening in. After all, Tanner was a renowned figure in the AI industry.So, for him to openly admit that someone as young as Celeste possessed such a deep reservoir of knowledge that outmatched him came as a surprise.Only Matthias gave a subtle, knowing smile.Wynn was also quietly listening at the side.Linda couldn't understand a word of what Tanner and Celeste were talking about due to her limited knowledge. Seeing that their conversation was still ongoing with no signs of stopping, she grew impatient. "What's there

    On Thursday night, Celeste and Matthias, who had just returned from a business trip, attended a banquet together.As soon as they arrived, she spotted Wynn and Linda.They had noticed her too.The moment Linda saw her, her expression soured. She snorted and muttered to Wynn, "Why is she everywhere?"Celeste paid them no attention. After she and Matthias chatted briefly with the host of the banquet, she saw Kieran approaching them.Kieran had gotten an invitation after learning she would be attending the event.That evening, Celeste wore a sleek, form-fitting black gown with a simple cut, paired with her long, straight, dark hair.Not only did she look cool and composed, but she also carried an air of mystery. She was stunning and eye-catching.It seemed that every time he saw her at a banquet, she managed to impress him all over again.He had been at the previous two events as well, so Celeste wasn't surprised to see him this time. She simply said, "You're here too?"Kieran q

    The next day, Isabelle's test results came back.Overall, the level of organ failure in her body was slightly less severe than what had been shown in the previous tests conducted at the nursing home.Normally, with this degree of organ failure, as long as there was treatment and proper care, the condition could be stabilized.However, Isabelle's baseline health was extremely poor, and the rate of organ deterioration was relatively fast—so her overall prognosis was still not optimistic.After hearing the doctor's analysis, Celeste and Betty felt a mix of relief and worry.Relieved because there was still a chance for Isabelle; worried because, given her current condition, she might not be able to cooperate fully with the treatment.That afternoon, Zachary called and invited Celeste and Matthias out for dinner.Matthias was away on a business trip that afternoon, so in the evening, Celeste drove alone to pick up Zachary.When they arrived at the restaurant and had just gotten out

    Celeste said, "I have to go to work now. Your granny isn't feeling well these days and needs rest. Once she's feeling better, you can go visit her."Although Betty had never truly blamed Jordyn for being close to Wynn, ever since learning that Isabelle's health had also started deteriorating, it felt like half her spirit had been drained.If she were to see Jordyn now and be reminded of how close she had gotten to Wynn, it would probably only worsen her mood.When Jordyn heard that Betty was sick, she looked genuinely concerned. "Huh? Granny is sick? Is it serious? Mom, why didn't you tell me?"Celeste paused for two seconds before replying, "I didn't want you to worry, that's why I didn't tell you."She then gently pried off Jordyn's hands, which were wrapped around her. "It's getting late. I have other things to take care of. You need to take good care of yourself."Jordyn didn't want her to go, but seeing how busy Celeste seemed, she reluctantly let go. But as soon as she did,

    "He's never shown up?" Kieran asked."Yeah." Another colleague chimed in, "That's why a lot of us think Ms. Rodriguez is probably already divorced. I mean, it's been more than half a year, and she hasn't even mentioned him once.""Exactly."That actually made sense.If Celeste weren't divorced, would Caleb dare to pursue her so publicly?Still, Kieran couldn't calm down. It had never crossed his mind that Celeste had already been married.As he sat there in a daze, Celeste walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"He wanted to ask, "Is it true that you're married?"But this was the workplace, and asking personal questions like that—especially of a superior—wasn't appropriate. It might be alright once in a while, but any more would be crossing a line.Snapping back to reality, he just said, "It's nothing."…That afternoon, Celeste received a phone call.After hanging up, before the end of the workday, she told Matthias, "I might only come in tomorrow afternoon. Can you attend
