Se connecterMatthias'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
Of course, Narcissa knew perfectly well that Candice's claim that Celeste wasn't in was just an excuse.Celeste was most likely deliberately giving her the cold shoulder because she still held a grudge over what had happened previously.But Narcissa's project was currently in trouble, and YodaVision was their best option.So, Narcissa still patiently continued speaking with Candice even though she knew that Celeste was intentionally making things difficult for her."Then, may I ask when Ms. Rodriguez will return?"Candice replied politely, "Sorry, Ms. Rodriguez didn't specify. I'm not very sure either."Narcissa knew there was no point in saying more. So, she simply said, "Then, I'll come again another day."She hung up soon after.After that, she called Wynn and asked whether she had Celeste's number.Wynn replied, "No."Narcissa then asked, "Would it be convenient for you to ask Trevor for it?"Wynn knew why she was looking for Celeste. "Of course."So Narcissa waited in
Trevor didn't tell Celeste that he had read all the papers she published and that she deserved the awards.He simply shifted the conversation to topics related to Jordyn after congratulating her.That day, Celeste got into her car and left after spending some time with Jordyn.Jordyn watched the direction Celeste's car disappeared in while sitting in Trevor's car. She looked like she wanted to say something.Trevor noticed and asked, "What's wrong? Did you forget to tell your mom something?"Jordyn shook her head. "Not really. I just wonder when Mom will finally be done with her work and move back home."Right now, she could only go to the Rodriguez residence whenever she wanted and return home to accompany Trevor. She actually thought that this arrangement wasn't bad.But even so, she still really wanted her mom to move back home.It was just that Celeste always had too much going on and kept saying it wasn't convenient to move back.Hearing this, Trevor only replied, "You ca
Miles didn't know that Celeste had connections with people like Kael and Rowan. But he had heard about Celeste's awards.So, after seeing the news online, he couldn't help tagging everyone in the group chat."Did you guys see what's trending online? She's actually this incredible now?"Everyone in the group, including Trevor, saw the message. But no one replied.However, a moment later, Wynn sent something.She tagged Beck, "Narcissa has a project she'd like to discuss with you. Are you available?"Beck replied a short while later after seeing the message. "Sure. Pass her my contacts and ask her to get in touch."Wynn replied, "Okay."After that, neither of them spoke again.Miles immediately protested, "Is no one going to respond to me?"Meanwhile, Beck had already received a call from Narcissa.After listening to her, he said, "I'm actually quite interested in your project. However, I've been fairly occupied lately. So, I'll probably need to arrange for someone to coordina
Jorge had a fairly good relationship with Zachary and Kael, but they didn't get the chance to gather privately often.So, since both Celeste and Matthias had been included this time, it was only logical for Theodore to bring Jorge along as well.After all, having more opportunities to interact with people like Zachary and Kael would only benefit Jorge. Yet, Theodore hadn't even mentioned it to him.If someone hadn't posted news of their gathering online, Jorge would never even find out about it.It wasn't just Xavier, but even Jorge himself couldn't figure out the reason.Could it be that Celeste and Matthias had spoken badly about him in front of Zachary, causing him and the others to dislike him? That was why his father didn't bring him along.But no matter what, he was still Theodore's son.He also knew that he would bicker with his father occasionally.However, if Celeste and Matthias had truly badmouthed him in front of Zachary and the others, Theodore would never actually
