Chapter 298

Author: Cloudsearcher
Celeste was just about to speak when Trevor's phone rang again.

It was probably Wynn. As he walked toward the door, he picked up the call and said gently, "It's not too serious, no need to worry too much—"

After Trevor stepped out to take the call and returned, Jordyn had woken up. Seeing both of them, she sleepily called out, "Daddy, Mommy."

Celeste and Trevor responded at the same time, "Yes."

Maybe her head was still spinning—lying in bed, Jordyn glanced at Trevor, then at Celeste. Not long after waking, she frowned in discomfort and drifted back to sleep.

Worried about disturbing her rest, Celeste and Trevor fell into a natural silence. After Jordyn had fully settled into sleep again, Trevor turned to Celeste. "Are you staying?"

Celeste didn't respond, but by remaining in her seat, she had already given her answer.

Trevor didn't say anything more either. He simply went over to the other couch and sat down.

Celeste stayed seated in the chair by the bed, and after a while, wi

    The Scientific and Technological Academic Exchange Conference, jointly hosted by the Baumond Association for Science and Technology and other organizations, had officially begun two days ago.This month-long conference would include nearly 200 individual sessions, drawing participation from many academicians and experts in the scientific and industrial communities. YodaVision was among the invited companies.That afternoon happened to be the main session in the field of Advanced Materials, a topic both Celeste and Matthias were particularly interested in. After returning from the hospital, Celeste went to the conference venue with Matthias and several YodaVision technical staff members.Matthias was attending as YodaVision's representative and had a reserved seat near the front. Celeste, along with the company's staff, followed the event organizer's arrangement and sat near the back.They arrived early. Not long after they took their seats, Celeste spotted Trevor, Wynn, and Mil

    There were quite a few people gathered around Celeste and Matthias.When Morgan and Lucien approached, some people in the crowd were about to greet them, but Morgan smiled and gestured for them to stay quiet.Then he and the others stood at the edge of the group, quietly listening to Matthias and Celeste answer questions.Many attendees at the conference were graduates of prestigious universities. There was no shortage of capable, knowledgeable people.Celeste and Matthias not only responded to others' questions but also occasionally encountered a few individuals who could carry on more in-depth discussions with them.Those with a similarly broad knowledge base were deeply engaged in the back-and-forth. Those who lacked the technical background—especially when it came to materials and manufacturing—felt like they were listening to a foreign language.Lucien and Morgan clearly fell into the first group.Wynn could mostly keep up, too.In truth, after just a short exchange earlie

    Over the next few days, Celeste made time to attend two or three more conference events. She ran into Wynn twice, but on both occasions, Trevor didn't accompany her.By March, the rain had become more frequent.After one of the events, it began to rain outside.Celeste had brought an umbrella, but she had left it in the car. She walked toward the main entrance, planning to wait until the rain eased up before leaving. She hadn't even reached the door when she saw Wynn.Wynn was speaking with someone, but her smile faded as soon as she spotted Celeste.Just then, Trevor appeared, holding an umbrella. He had clearly come to pick Wynn up.He took off his coat and draped it over Wynn's shoulder.The people nearby, also waiting out the rain, looked on enviously. Some even gasped in admiration. It was only then that Trevor noticed Celeste and paused. She looked back at him expressionlessly. He turned his gaze away, lifted the umbrella again, and left with Wynn.The wind was pick

    At the restaurant, once they entered the private room and sat down, Beck poured her a glass of water and asked, "Did you gain anything from the conference this time?""More or less."She had joined the conference to spark inspiration, hoping to find new angles to study the materials Zachary had given her and Matthias a while back. After attending a few sessions, she had more or less found a new direction.As she spoke, Celeste asked, "How's Shanice doing lately?""Shanice's health has improved a lot since the second half of last year. She's started school again this year and has even made new friends. She's been pretty happy both at home and at school." Beck paused, then added as he looked at her, "But she still brings you up often. Next time we get the chance, maybe the three of us could have a meal together?"Celeste nodded. "Sure."After the personal talk, they moved on to work-related topics. Toward the end, Beck even brought up some matters about his collaboration with Iva

    Celeste had a good idea of what Janet was thinking.Just as she was about to say she was fine, Lennox walked in. When she saw Janet, she snapped, "What are you doing running around? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you? You're not answering your phone—"Before she could finish, she caught sight of Celeste's back. Her expression immediately turned cold.Just then, a store clerk approached and said to Celeste, "Ms. Rodriguez, all the items you requested have been packed. Here's the receipt. The total comes to 5,897,644 dollars. Please take a look."Celeste nodded and took the receipt. They were at Luvienne now. Everything Celeste had purchased was packed and neatly arranged on the floor. There were over 30 shopping bags in total, all lined up.Celeste checked the bill, confirmed it was correct, and handed over her card to the clerk.Both Lennox and Janet were stunned. Celeste had just spent nearly six million dollars on clothes?But Lennox quickly regained her

    Just as Janet was lost in thought, Trevor arrived. After greeting the Locket and Shaw family members, Wynn introduced Janet to him. "This is my Aunt Lennox's daughter, Janet Linvale."Trevor glanced at Janet, smiled politely, and said, "Nice to meet you."Janet had only ever seen Trevor in Wynn's Instagram posts.Seeing him in person now, she suddenly understood why Wynn had chosen him.The men who pursued Wynn in the past were already exceptional in every way—renowned, capable, and impressive. But compared to Trevor, whether it was his personal achievements, education, family background, or even looks and demeanor, none of them could come close.She had thought those past suitors were already the best of the best, but only now did she realize there's always someone better out there.And she had to admit, Trevor and Wynn standing together did look incredibly well-matched.Still, thinking of everything that had happened between Trevor and Celeste, Janet lowered her gaze and quiet

    Just then, Wynn seemed to remember something and said, "Isn't Beck's company hiring right now? Harper Corporation should have a suitable position for her. I'll call Beck later and ask."Trevor smiled. "Alright."Janet knew who Beck was. She had heard that he and Trevor grew up together and that he also admired Wynn.Whenever Wynn needed help in the past, Beck would always go all out to support her. Hearing this, Janet wanted to say she didn't want to rely on anyone, but before she could speak, Lennox quickly responded, "Thank you, Wynn. I really appreciate your handling this."Wynn said, "It's the least I can do."After that, Trevor and Wynn didn't bring up Janet again. They sat close together, speaking in low voices about who knows what. The conversation seemed endless, and their rapport felt effortless.Seeing how close and affectionate they were, Janet couldn't help but think of Celeste, who had gone shopping alone today. She quietly asked Linda, "When are they getting divor

    Wynn put down her phone and said to Lennox, "He might be busy. I'll try calling again later."More than half an hour later, she called Beck again. This time, Beck answered. Wynn said, "Hope I'm not bothering you?"Beck replied, "Not at all."In fact, Beck had seen her call the first time. He had just chosen not to pick up.He asked, "What's going on?"Wynn explained the reason for her call. After hearing it, Beck asked, "Why not arrange for her to work at Trevor's company?"Wynn smiled at the question. "Trevor's company isn't hiring right now."Beck was silent for a second. Then he asked, "What's her name?""Janet Linvale.""How do you spell that?""J-A-N-E-T L-I-N-V-A-L-E.""Alright. Got it. Have her submit a resume through the regular process over the next few days."Wynn smiled. "Thanks, Beck."Before Beck could respond, Wynn seemed to want to chat a bit more and casually asked, "What are you up to now? Been busy lately?"Beck didn't get a chance to answer.A soft, pl

    Bryson, unaware of the grudge between Celeste and Wynn, followed up on Rodney's words and said, "Yes, we were just discussing some new developments in the industry."Ms. Locket also studied AI—more minds mean more ideas. It would be great if Ms. Locket joined the discussion."Wynn responded, "Oh, I see..."As she spoke, she glanced over at Celeste.After finishing the serious work discussions, Celeste had planned to leave. But unable to resist Rodney and Bryson's enthusiasm, she stayed and chatted with them for a while longer.Now with Wynn's arrival, she finally had an excuse to excuse herself.She stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I have something I need to attend to. Mr. Fleming, Professor Leonard, Professor Milford, let's chat again next time."Besides Celeste's recently published paper, a few other companies in the AI field had also made significant technical breakthroughs lately.When they were chatting earlier, Celeste had quickly grasped the core of those break

    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
