Harry and Brandon glanced at Trevor, then at Celeste. As their gazes landed on Wynn, they furrowed their brows. After a moment of silence, Trevor spoke up. "It's been a while since you played chess, hasn't it?"While examining his setup, she simply nodded and hummed in reply, not looking up.She barely played chess anymore after marrying him. "I can tell you're a little rusty," Trevor remarked.Celeste didn't say anything in reply, her attention fixed on the chessboard. The game wasn't going well for her right now. It looked like there was a promising opening on Trevor's side, but in truth, his hidden pieces were lying in wait, ready to trap her. She pondered for a moment. Then, she avoided the trap he had laid and made her move somewhere else.And now, Trevor was at a disadvantage. He smirked and, after a long moment, placed his next piece on the board. The tension in the game increased again. After several more moves, Celeste was defeated, but it was a close game.

That wasn't a good sign. Hence, they wanted to talk to Celeste about it. Harvey spoke first. "Cel, I…"Before Celeste could respond, Matthias chuckled and interrupted, "Mr. Locket, are you here to announce your relationship with Cel?"Harvey's smile faltered, and then he awkwardly laughed. "Mr. Yoder, I need to talk to Cel for a moment, can you…"Matthias cut him off. "If you're eager for everyone to know about your relationship with Cel, you're welcome to say anything."Harvey didn't want to upset Matthias. Hence, he could only leave with Lennox. However, before he left, he turned to Celeste. "I'll call you later tonight. Don't forget to pick it up."Celeste remained silent. She couldn't be bothered with him. As for the call, there was no way she was answering it. Matthias was frustrated. "Man, I really want to just lash out at him."How could Celeste not feel the same? The problem was, when it came to her situation with Trevor, she had never been able to prove h

Jordyn absolutely loved Christmas.Every year, she would decorate the Christmas tree at home with Celeste.On Christmas Day, they would go out together, strolling through the streets and soaking in the festive atmosphere with everyone around them.But ever since Jordyn went abroad with Trevor, they had never spent another Christmas together. No, it would be more accurate to say she had stopped celebrating Christmas altogether.Celeste told herself she was moving on. But in the end, this was the daughter she had given birth to and raised with her own hands for many years.Now, standing amidst the bustling crowds, watching the lively scene around her, memories of the past surged up, disturbing her peace."Ms. Rodriguez?"Celeste turned around.It was Caleb.She gave a polite nod. "Mr. Jennings.""Why are you here alone?"Celeste suppressed the emotions in her eyes and smiled. "I just came out to buy some plants for my home."Caleb had approached her because he had seen her st

Hearing Caleb's invitation, Celeste smiled and said, "Okay."They followed the crowd forward.Just as they reached the railing, brilliant fireworks exploded across the riverbank, drawing gasps and laughter from the crowd, though the sounds were quickly drowned out by the thunderous bursts.Many people took photos, while others made wishes.Noticing that Celeste was simply watching in silence without doing anything else, Caleb asked, "Do you want me to record a video for you?"Celeste shook her head. "No need, just watching is enough."Caleb didn't press further.At that moment, Wynn's gaze swept in their direction.They were several meters apart, but Caleb's tall stature and striking appearance made him easy to spot.Having met him a few times before, they were at least acquaintances.Wynn was about to mention him to Trevor, who was holding Jordyn, and go over to say hello—when she suddenly saw the person standing partially obscured behind Caleb.It was Celeste.Her smile f

"Miss, would you like some chocolate-covered fruit?"Celeste turned around.The plump fruits on the skewer gleamed temptingly in the light, stirring something in her heart. It had been a long time since she'd had chocolate-covered fruit.With that thought, she glanced in Jordyn's direction.As expected, she saw the little girl happily munching on a skewer of chocolate-covered fruit.Aside from that, at some point, Wynn had acquired a bouquet of red roses.She leaned against Trevor, talking to him, while Jordyn handed her the skewer with a bite taken out of it.Wynn smiled as she accepted it and took a bite right from Jordyn's hand. After another bite, Jordyn passed it to Trevor.Trevor shook his head, said something she couldn't hear, and declined.Celeste withdrew her gaze and said to the vendor, "I'll take a skewer of strawberries."Just as she was about to ask Caleb if he wanted one, he spoke first, "I'll handle it."Before she could react, he had already taken out his ph

Caleb's phone rang. After a moment, he put it down and said, "I have something to take care of. I'm heading back first—want to come along?"Jorge snapped out of his thoughts, his eyes darkening slightly. "No, I'm waiting for someone. You go ahead. Let's catch up another time.""Alright." Caleb left.Once his figure disappeared, Jorge turned and walked toward the cafe.As he pushed the door open, he happened to run into Wynn, who was about to take Jordyn to the restroom.Both of them stopped in their tracks.Wynn recognized him and said, "Mr. Robinson? What a coincidence.""Yeah." Jorge closed the door behind him, letting his gaze sweep across the cafe. Then, he spotted Trevor at the counter, ordering from the server.Retracting his gaze, he let it fall on Jordyn.It only took a single glance for him to be almost certain—Jordyn was Trevor's daughter. She resembled him by at least 50%.Still, he asked, "And she is…?"Wynn lowered her eyes slightly. "Trevor's daughter."As exp

A little while later, Wynn, Jordyn, and Jorge came out of the restroom.Jordyn was at an age where her curiosity was at its peak. She was fascinated by everything along the way, looking here and there, chatting nonstop with Wynn.Wynn responded with a gentle smile the entire time.Jorge observed them and felt that Wynn was incredibly dedicated to Trevor's child. At the same time, he realized how difficult it was to take care of a kid.Back at the cafe, the first thing Jorge did was glance toward Trevor.He saw that Trevor was casually sipping his coffee while flipping through a magazine, looking completely at ease—like someone who had simply delegated all responsibilities to others.Jorge paused slightly.Earlier, on the way to the restroom, Jorge had mentioned that he was also meeting a friend at the cafe.Once they were inside, Wynn asked, "Has your friend arrived yet?"Jorge shook his head. "Not yet.""Why don't you come sit with us for a while?""You two are out on a dat

Jordyn looked around again. After confirming that Celeste was nowhere to be seen, she left with Wynn.Watching their retreating figures, Jorge was about to leave when he suddenly noticed Celeste standing not far to the side.His steps faltered.Realizing who it was, he initially decided to ignore her and walk away. But then, he noticed that Celeste's gaze was fixed on Wynn and Jordyn.Her expression was cold, and her eyes were even colder. In fact, the way she looked at Wynn almost felt like she was looking at an enemy.With that kind of stare, Jorge couldn't help but think that Celeste might actually harbor ill intentions toward Wynn.He observed her silently, convinced that she was still holding a grudge against Wynn. So, he walked over.Celeste was carrying quite a few things—two potted plants and several decorative ornaments. The ornaments were an impulse buy.Ever since she moved into her current place, she had been too busy with her own affairs to decorate much, leaving h

Celeste nodded and sat down on the sofa by the coffee table.Trevor then instructed, "Have someone bring us some coffee."Zeke replied, "Already taken care of."Just as he finished speaking, Naomi came in carrying coffee.When she saw Celeste, she froze for a moment. "Ms. Rodriguez?"Naomi had been the one to take over Celeste's job after she left Fleming Group. Since then, they had basically had no contact.Celeste nodded with a smile, "Long time no see.""Long time no see." Naomi smiled too. But given the situation, it wasn't really appropriate for her to chat too much.She placed the coffee carefully in front of both Celeste and Trevor, and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something and turned back to report on some work matters.After listening, Trevor said, "Got it. I'll have time this afternoon. Tell him to come by before three.""Okay." Naomi answered, then smiled and nodded politely at Celeste before hurrying out.Celeste watched her leave, slowly stirr

After they finished playing golf, Celeste and the others still had other plans.Trevor and Wynn had joined midway, and perhaps guessing that Celeste and the others had other arrangements that they might not be suited to join, Trevor took the initiative to say, "We have some other plans later, so we won't keep interrupting everyone's fun."Hearing this, Rowan and Theodore didn't insist on keeping them and said, "Is that so? That's fine. Let's meet up again next time when we're free."Trevor smiled and nodded before leaving with Wynn.Matthias had actually been a bit worried that Trevor and Wynn might tag along for their meal afterwards.Seeing Trevor leave on his own initiative, he felt a little relieved and whispered to Celeste, "At least he knows when to back off."Celeste smiled and hummed a response.…After they had walked a distance, Trevor finally asked, "Upset?"Having stumbled twice today, Wynn was indeed feeling down. Especially seeing how much Rowan and the others li

The group chatted while playing golf.However, it was obvious that Theodore and Rowan were far more interested in the topic they were discussing than in the game itself.At first, they talked about international affairs. As the conversation went on, Theodore and Rowan ended up simulating a battle arrangement right there on the spot.As they got more and more into it, Celeste and Matthias simply stood by and listened, along with Trevor and Wynn.Maybe not wanting the younger ones to just stand around, Rowan said, "Why don't you join in and share your thoughts?"After a moment, Celeste spoke up, "With strong enemies on all sides, it's not suitable to charge in alone. So for now, staying put would be a good choice."Hearing this, Wynn paused.She had to admit, it was a good idea. If Celeste hadn't said it first, she honestly wouldn't have thought of it herself.Just as that thought crossed her mind, she saw Rowan smiling and nodding in agreement.Matthias reacted quickly too. He

Rowan said to Trevor, "Since you're here, why don't you stay and join us for a while?"Trevor replied, "Sure."After exchanging a few pleasantries with Trevor, Rowan turned back to Harold, Matthias, and the others and asked, "Where were we just now?"Matthias answered, "We were discussing how we should appropriately handle the situation if we discover a foreign probe entering our controlled area."Hearing this, Wynn couldn't help but start thinking about it too.Rowan smiled and asked, "What do you think? Cel, do you have any thoughts?"Earlier, Matthias and Celeste hadn't had time to really think about it before Trevor and Wynn showed up.Now that Rowan asked again, Celeste and Matthias both paused briefly.When Wynn heard Rowan call Celeste by her nickname, she suddenly got distracted.Cel? Rowan was addressing Celeste so intimately.Moreover, she noticed that whenever Rowan looked at Celeste, his demeanor was very warm and kind—he genuinely seemed to admire her.She frown

After dinner, Jordyn followed Celeste back to the Rodriguez residence.That night, she received a call from Rowan, inviting her and Matthias to play golf the next morning.Celeste agreed. However, when she saw the address Rowan sent, she hesitated for a moment.The golf course happened to be a property owned by the Fleming family. She had been there before.Still, since she had already agreed, it wouldn't be appropriate to back out now.…Early Saturday morning, she drove out as planned.When she and Matthias arrived at the golf course, Rowan, Theodore, and Harold were already there.Seeing them, Rowan and the others greeted them with a smile, "You're here."Celeste nodded.Rowan asked, "Do you know how to play golf?"Celeste nodded again. "I've learned a bit."After some polite small talk, they began playing golf while chatting casually.Not long after, just as Celeste was putting away her club, she saw two people walking toward them from a distance.It was Trevor and Wy

Although Celeste and Matthias had already asked Candice to politely decline Cayden's request for a meeting, he still showed up uninvited two days later.Since he had come in person, Celeste and Matthias couldn't completely refuse to see him.They gave him a brief, symbolic reception, but after chatting for just over ten minutes, they politely sent him off.After that, whenever Cayden tried to arrange another meeting, they simply ignored him.With Celeste and Matthias maintaining a firm stance, and unable to meet with them, Cayden invited Wynn out for a meal the next day instead.During the meal, Cayden chatted with her about the developments in the industry for a while before saying, "If you had joined YodaVision last year, you would've grown so much by now. What a shame."At their last meeting, Cayden had asked about her current situation. After hearing she hadn't gotten into YodaVision, he didn't comment much.But now, recalling the matter, he couldn't help expressing his regr

Celeste didn't care how Trevor thought of her or looked at her, nor was she interested.After leaving the restaurant, Celeste and Matthias' group headed back to Fleming Tech for a meeting.This time, Lilian and Linda didn't follow. But Wynn did.Seeing Wynn come along again, Matthias secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Fleming, about Ms. Locket—"Trevor seemed to know what he wanted to say.Before Matthias could finish, Trevor spoke up, "If you're concerned about confidentiality, you don't have to worry. If anything does happen, I'll take full responsibility."Matthias had expected him to say that. After all, when they first started working with InnovaTech, Trevor had said exactly the same thing.Even so, Matthias still needed clear assurance.Hearing Trevor's words, Matthias put on a half-hearted smile and said, "I feel better with your assurance."During the meeting in the morning, the seat at the center of the table was occupied by Trevor alone. Now that Wynn was here,

Before Trevor could respond, his phone rang.He stepped outside to take the call, and by the time he returned, the food was being served.Miles' question was left hanging—brushed aside just like that.Right now, the author of the paper that engineers in the country and abroad were scrambling to read was sitting right in front of them.As the meal progressed, Rodney and his students couldn't help but ask Celeste questions as they skimmed through the paper's core content and experimental data.Whether they asked about specific parts of the paper or about broader problems that had puzzled them in their own research, Celeste responded to everything fluently and confidently.Wynn watched in silence. Her heart was calm.Watching Celeste speak so assuredly with Rodney and the others actually seemed like she did know what she was talking about.But was that really possible?Given Matthias' capabilities, if he was willing to credit Celeste as first author, then he must have ensured she

It really was Celeste?Even though Jorge, Lilian, and Linda didn't specialize in AI and couldn't fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste's paper was, they did know one thing—Wynn's advisor, Cayden, was a major figure in the AI world.A world-renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper—personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly—was a huge deal.On top of that, Rodney's student had just said Celeste's paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad, with top engineers staying up all night to read it.All of this pointed to one thing: Celeste's paper had real weight. But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste?Rodney, not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws, hadn't read the paper yet.Still, just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long-text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited.He immediately turned to Matthias and asked,
