Seeing Trevor reach out, Celeste had no choice but to hand him the flowers she was holding.She didn't look at Miles or Beck and instead walked straight to the bedside, asking Martha, "How are you feeling now?""Still a little sore, but it's alright," Martha said.Having just undergone surgery not long ago, she was already feeling a bit fatigued. She reached out to hold Celeste's hand and said, "You've been working all day—are you tired? Have you eaten? Why don't you join Trevor and the others for dinner later?"Celeste replied, "It's fine, Grandma. I ate at the office before coming over."Seeing that Celeste was still maintaining her distance from Trevor, Martha paused and didn't insist any further.Celeste chatted with her for a little while longer. When Martha began to feel tired and wanted to rest, Celeste prepared to leave.Martha asked Trevor to walk her out. Since he and the others were about to go for dinner anyway, she left with them.Inside the elevator, Miles kept

Jordyn ran over excitedly. "Wow, so much delicious food! And milkshakes too!""Mm." Trevor said, "I knew you were coming, so I had some things prepared."As he spoke, his gaze landed on Celeste. Seeing that she ignored him, he shifted his focus to Hector and Jamie, nodding at them before standing up and saying, "Sit."Trevor carried an imposing presence.So, after greeting Martha, Jamie and Hector instinctively followed his words, sitting down with Jordyn and sharing the food that she and Trevor passed to them.Once the children started eating, Trevor handed Celeste a serving. "Try it?"Noticing that Martha was watching, Celeste accepted it and said, "Thank you."She took a sip and realized it was strawberry-flavored—exactly to her taste.Hearing that they were going skiing, Martha turned to Trevor and said, "Trevor, you should go with Cel and the kids."She continued, "Skiing is a dangerous activity. It'll be too much for Cel to watch over three children alone. Go help her. I

Celeste said to Trevor, "My uncle said someone from Fleming Group approached him about a project collaboration."Trevor was about to respond when Celeste continued, "I know you don't want to owe me or my grandmother, and you're trying to express your gratitude in this way."But my grandmother and I visit your grandmother at the hospital because of her, not because of you. So, you don't need to offer us any projects."If they did business with Fleming Group, the Lockets and the Shaws would surely be displeased and stir up trouble.Even if he was sincerely trying to thank her and her grandmother by offering the project to her uncle to help him, the fact remained that the woman he loved was Wynn.If, one day, he wavered and changed his mind, the so-called help now would turn into a burden. And if it happened, the ones who would bear the consequences would still be the Rodriguez family.She couldn't afford to accept his offer.With an indifferent tone, she added, "You can also rest

Ruby anxiously said, "I heard that in the few days since Martha got injured, Trevor and Celeste—even the other members of the Rodriguez family—have been in frequent contact."Yesterday, someone even saw Trevor having a meal with the old lady from the Rodriguez family. Could they be rekindling their past relationship?""There was never a relationship to rekindle," Wynn replied calmly, though she disliked Ruby's choice of words.Seeing how worried Ruby was, Wynn patiently explained, "Madam Daniels has a close relationship with the Rodriguez family. Trevor needs to keep Celeste and the old lady on good terms, so they'll continue visiting Martha. "That way, Martha won't use her surgery as leverage to force Trevor to break up with me."Ruby had never thought of this.Ever since Martha's fall, she had expelled both their families from the Fleming Group. For the past two days, both families had been worried that Martha would demand Trevor and Wynn break up as a condition for agreeing t

During lunch, Celeste bought movie tickets. After eating, they watched the movie and then went shopping for a while.While Jamie was trying on clothes and Hector was buying figurines, Celeste said to Jordyn, "I'll take you home later.""Home?" Sitting beside her, Jordyn said, "I don't want to go home. I want to stay at Granny's for another night. I'll go back tomorrow evening."Celeste took a sip of water and said, "Jamie and Hector have spent the whole day with you. Tomorrow, they need to focus on their homework. If you stay at Granny's, you'll distract them.""I don't need them to play with me. I can play on my tablet by myself."Celeste didn't say anything more, but she found a moment to send Trevor a message, asking him to have someone pick Jordyn up later.Trevor was probably busy, as he didn't reply for a long time.After Jamie finished shopping, they walked around a bit more before heading back to the Rodriguez residence.Betty and Ivan were genuinely happy to see Jordyn

After Jordyn left, Celeste went upstairs, turned on her computer, and got to work.About an hour later, Jason sent her some documents to review.Celeste opened them and looked through them. The first thing that caught her eye was the three newly added properties, with their specific locations clearly marked.She paused when she saw the details.All three properties were vacant units in the Rodriguez family's residential neighborhood, and they were relatively close to the Rodriguez residence.To be honest, although Trevor had previously helped her buy the house in front of the Rodriguez residence, that alone didn't completely put her at ease.After all, Betty loved going out for walks. Even if the Shaw family no longer lived right across from her, as long as they were in the same neighborhood, they would inevitably run into each other.That had always worried her. But now…Looking at this new agreement—was Trevor trying to eliminate her concerns once again?Even though he was l

Celeste and Betty stayed with Martha for about half an hour before Trevor said, "I'm stepping out for a bit."During that time, Trevor had mostly remained a silent observer, barely speaking.Hearing this, Martha scoffed, "Just go then."Trevor left the hospital room. But once he was gone, he didn't return for over half an hour.Earlier, Samantha had been there, making sure the fruit, pastries, and tea were all well taken care of.After Samantha stepped away for a moment, Celeste noticed that Betty's tea had gone cold. So, she picked up the small teapot and went over to the table, intending to brew a fresh pot of tea.Seeing Celeste personally handling the tea, Martha suddenly thought of Trevor.She frowned and muttered, "Trevor really is something… I don't know what he's off doing, but he's been gone for so long."When Trevor had said he was stepping out, Celeste didn't pay much attention to it. But hearing Martha's complaint, she suddenly recalled that Wynn was still downstair

Celeste and Betty walked toward their car.Just as they were about to get in, Wynn stepped out of a nearby vehicle."Oh, so she hasn't left," Betty said and glanced at her before withdrawing her gaze.Celeste had thought Betty didn't notice Wynn earlier, but apparently, she had.As she watched Trevor walk over to Wynn, Betty seemed to remember how he had left the hospital room for over half an hour earlier.She remarked, "Their relationship seems to be quite good."Celeste fastened Betty's seatbelt without responding.Just as she pressed the gas pedal and was about to drive away, she saw Tucker running out of the hospital.He had probably just spotted Wynn as he looked both surprised and excited as he quickly ran over to them.Celeste took one glance before withdrawing her gaze and driving off.…"Trev!" Tucker ran over, his eyes locked onto Wynn. "You… You're really CC! I-I thought I was seeing things!"Wynn knew that Trevor had a younger brother in high school. But they 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,
