LOGINThe moment he saw them, Quentin's expression immediately turned cold. Then, he shifted his gaze away and continued speaking with Wynn, as if he had not seen them at all.At that moment, the Lackspur siblings and their team also arrived. They immediately spotted Wynn and Trevor.Nathan and Trevor had known each other for a long time, but they did not have much interaction and hadn't met for many years.He smiled and greeted Trevor, "Mr. Fleming, long time no see."Trevor replied, "Oh, it's Mr. Lackspur. Long time no see."After greeting Trevor, his gaze fell on Wynn, and a flash of amazement appeared in his eyes.It was the first time he had seen Wynn in person. So, he also politely greeted her, "You must be Ms. Locket. Nice to meet you."Wynn shook his hand. "Nice to meet you too."At this moment, someone walked toward Matthias excitedly. "Mr. Yoder, here you are. I really had quite a hard time finding you."Hearing the movement, Nathan followed the sound and saw Matthias.Al
Everyone also began speculating that the reason Zachary was attending the award ceremony this time was because of Celeste.Otherwise, why would Zachary, who had almost never participated in events like this before, suddenly decide to attend?"Looks like Celeste is really valued by Mr. Newman.""Of course. I heard Mr. Newman is even going to mentor her personally.""She's got a genius boyfriend like Matthias and Mr. Newman as her mentor. How lucky is Celeste? I wouldn't be surprised, no matter how many papers she publishes in the future, with those two backing her.""Exactly, I'm so jealous. But honestly, I've always felt something strange. Why is Celeste the one publishing papers all the time? Why don't we ever see Mr. Yoder publishing anything? He's Mr. Newman's student.""Right? I think so too. It really doesn't make sense! You can't say that Mr. Yoder no longer needs to prove himself through publishing academic papers just because he's already so successful, can you?""Um, is
Miles was just being nosy out of boredom. He wasn't actually expecting Trevor to reply.Yet, Trevor responded anyway. "What kind of thoughts do you think I'd have?"Miles then replied, "No idea. Isn't that exactly why I'm asking you?"Truthfully, Beck was a little curious too.Although they would occasionally mention Celeste in private, they rarely asked Trevor how he felt about her now.Back in those years, everyone knew Trevor had always disliked Celeste. But looking back over the past two years, his attitude toward her had clearly changed.Wynn was curious as well.Beck and Miles might not know, but she knew that Trevor really had started paying more attention to Celeste some time ago.Although attention had faded after Wynn saved him last time, she could still feel that he treated her with the same concern as before.However, the topic of him and Celeste rarely came up between them.At that moment, Trevor replied, "Their relationship is very good."Miles froze for a mome
Looking at the call that had just been disconnected, Nathan immediately called Matthias again."Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez refuses to accept my apology. She also said YodaVision won't cooperate with us—""I respect her decision," Matthias replied.Nathan couldn't continue with what he wanted to say.After speaking with Celeste earlier, he had already vaguely sensed that when she said YodaVision wouldn't cooperate with them, she wasn't speaking out of anger, nor was she deliberately stringing him along.Now, Matthias's response was just as straightforward.It was only then that Nathan finally realized that neither Celeste nor Matthias had ever intended to work with them in the first place.He fell silent for a few seconds before finally saying, "Mr. Yoder, you and Ms. Rodriguez really do have a very good relationship."Before contacting Matthias earlier, he had genuinely believed there was still room to negotiate. He didn't expect Matthias to actually give up such a lucrative proj
Matthias's parents didn't sound like they were just being polite when they talked about Celeste. They genuinely seemed to be fond of her.That surprised Narcissa. She frowned as she couldn't understand why they liked Celeste so much.Sure, Celeste had published a few impressive academic papers and did seem capable, but there were plenty of people more outstanding than her. No matter how she looked at it, Celeste didn't seem like the ideal choice as their daughter-in-law.Not long after Narcissa left, Matthias received a call from her older brother, Nathan Lackspur."I've already heard about what happened between my sister and Ms. Rodriguez. This matter was indeed Cissa's fault."To express our apology, I'd like to invite the two of you to dinner and let Cissa apologize properly to Ms. Rodriguez in person. May I ask if you are free?"Like his sister, Nathan believed neither Matthias nor Celeste truly wanted to miss out on their project. In his view, once Celeste had vented her ang
Narcissa's expression darkened at Celeste's words.But her company matter was urgent, so she still had to find a way to resolve it.She contacted Wynn. "She refuses to budge. I want to find someone to mediate between us. Who can I ask for help?"Wynn paused before replying, "Honestly, there probably isn't anyone.""Not a single person?""Her relationship with people on our side has never been good. And besides, this matter involves me. Even if someone tried persuading her, the chances of her agreeing are still pretty low."But Narcissa disagreed. She said, "Even if she and Matthias are close, and even if she's calling the shots at YodaVision now, this is still a massive project. If YodaVision works with us, they'll make a huge profit."I think YodaVision definitely wants this partnership. Celeste saying she won't cooperate is probably just her trying to vent her anger."The only reason I'm lowering myself to ask her right now is that the situation is urgent and can't be delayed
