LOGINThe next day. Celeste and Matthias attended a cocktail party together.Not long after they arrived, Wynn and the others showed up as well. At a glance, they spotted Celeste and Matthias standing not far away.The moment Linda and Ruby saw Celeste, their expressions darkened.It was all because Celeste was wearing the very gown Wynn had taken a liking to just a few days ago. The dress was worth over a million dollars.In the past, Wynn would have bought it without a second thought.But this time…Beyond the gown, the bracelet and necklace Celeste wore were also masterpieces from renowned designers, worth close to ten million dollars.Although Wynn's outfit and jewelry were also brand-new and high-end, they simply weren't in the same price range as Celeste's.In the past, Wynn had worn priceless gowns and jewelry several times. Coupled with her striking looks, she had once stunned countless people, and many socialites in Baumond would pay close attention to what she wore to event
Although they hadn't had many gatherings over the past few months, in Miles' mind, Wynn and Trevor must still be seeing each other often.So, now that everyone had finally gotten together, he deliberately teased them after seeing the two of them start talking about their own matters.At his words, Wynn's gaze dimmed for a split second, but just as quickly, she smiled and said frankly, "What do you mean every day? Trevor and I haven't actually been seeing each other much lately."She said this, knowing that sometimes, telling the truth made people less likely to believe it. And even if they did, they would simply assume both of them had been busy—not that there might be problems in their relationship.Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Miles laughed. "Alright, alright, I won't interrupt you two then. Go on, continue."Soon, the topic shifted.…That night, when Celeste got home after finishing work and was about to take a shower, she received a message from Beck.He said
After they had been discussing work for a while, they paused for a break and casual conversation. At that moment, Celeste's phone rang.The call was from Jordyn.After excusing herself, she stood up to walk out while answering the call. "Jo, what's the matter?""Shanice is back in Baumond. We're meeting for dinner tonight. Do you want to come too, Mom?"Celeste replied, "Sorry, I have a work engagement tonight and can't get away. So, I won't be joining you."As she spoke, she pushed open the door and stepped outside.Celeste truly was busy and couldn't leave. After chatting a little longer with Jordyn, she returned to the room and continued discussing work with Trevor and Quincy.Once the discussion ended, Celeste and Kieran left.Trevor stayed behind to talk to Quincy a bit longer before heading home to pick up Jordyn for dinner.…Jordyn hadn't seen Shanice for quite some time and had prepared many gifts. She was extremely excited.When Trevor returned, she eagerly had peo
As Wynn and Linda were talking, a news platform suddenly broadcast a report about an AI-related academic conference.It turned out that one of Andostan's most prestigious and long-established conferences was about to take place.A reporter was interviewing a senior member of the organizing committee. The official casually listed around eight names and, coincidentally, both Celeste and Matthias were among them.From the tone of the interview, the invitations had already been sent out, and they were currently awaiting responses from the invitees.The official also expressed great anticipation about meeting Celeste, Matthias, and the others, hoping to engage in in-depth exchanges and jointly promote the development of the AI industry.The moment Linda saw the news, her face darkened. She turned to Wynn and asked, "Wynn, did you receive an invitation?"Even though Linda didn't fully understand the significance of the conference, the names mentioned by the official were all world-clas
"I've told him", Wynn said.Linda asked, "So, Trev—"Wynn then briefly recounted what had happened."...That's it? Nothing else?" Linda asked in disbelief."That's all."Linda froze. After a moment, she said, "D-Does that mean he doesn't want to help us?"Lilian and the others fell silent.Because that was exactly what it meant—Trevor clearly had no intention of helping.Linda couldn't help but say, "If he won't help, then we…"They would have no choice but to raise money themselves.And the only way to do that now was to sell off part of their properties for emergency funds. After all, their available cash had already been invested before the New Year.Lilian's expression had looked grim just moments ago, but now she had already composed herself. Calmly, she said, "It's only a temporary measure. There's still a chance between Wynn and Trevor. Things could turn around."Linda bit her lip. "B-But…"But Trevor seemed increasingly indifferent toward Wynn lately. On the contra
Celeste returned to work at YodaVision as usual soon.Two days later, she attended a government meeting as a representative of YodaVision.When she arrived at the venue and was about to take a seat, she spotted Wynn.Wynn saw her as well but quickly looked away.However, after scanning the entire conference hall with her gaze, Wynn still didn't see Trevor.Just when she thought Trevor wouldn't appear, he finally arrived moments before the meeting was about to begin.Wynn instantly let out a sigh of relief.Yet when she saw Trevor take the seat next to Celeste, the faint smile that had just appeared on her lips immediately faded, and a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes.Over there, after sitting down, Trevor said to Celeste, "Morning."Celeste replied, "...Morning."After that, she turned her face away and ignored him.The meeting soon began, and Trevor didn't speak again.During the break midway through the meeting, Wynn walked over to him."Trevor."When Trevo
Linda looked smugly at Celeste.Lilian also felt genuinely happy for her daughter. Celeste, as usual, couldn't even be bothered to look in their direction.She quietly lowered her head and sipped her tea, blending into the background, not participating in the discussion between Wynn and Rodney a
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 r
As soon as the words were spoken, a knock sounded at the private dining room door.It was Miles and Beck.Miles pushed the door open, and upon seeing how many people were already inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa, so many people?"This restaurant was owned by his family.He and Beck had ju
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 cha
