Chapter 241

Celeste had just driven away from the hospital when Betty suddenly recalled something. "Trevor made it to the hospital, but what about Jo? Where did she go?"Before Celeste could speak, Betty's expression darkened right away. Celeste could tell from her expression that she was unhappy about Trevor leaving Jordyn behind while he and Wynn came to the hospital to see Martha. "Don't worry. He'll take good care of her," Celeste said. However, Betty wasn't convinced. "If he keeps this up, Cel, take him to court. No matter what, you have to get custody of Jo!" Celeste paused for a brief moment before she spoke flatly. "Okay."Betty remained displeased. She got out of the car as soon as they arrived at the Rodriguez residence. Just then, Celeste's phone rang. It was a call from Jordyn, but she didn't pick it up. Maybe it was because she hadn't spent much time with Jordyn these past few months and had been missing her calls, but over the last two days, she could clearly sense

Celeste murmured a reply. Jordyn paused, realizing that Celeste might not know who Shanice was, and quickly added, "Shanice is my friend—she calls Mr. Harper her uncle."Celeste responded softly, noticing how eager she was to share. "What did you guys do?""We explored a maze!"Celeste listened without much reaction, but Betty's expression grew stern. When Trevor took Jordyn back, she thought he would be looking after Jordyn himself. It was only now that she realized Trevor wasn't taking care of Jordyn himself. Instead, he was focused on dating Wynn and would rather leave her with someone else than let Celeste care for her. Betty's face soured. Jordyn had no clue what Betty was thinking. Then, she added, "Mr. Harper asked me to stay for dinner, but I want to come back, so I called you."Celeste nodded. "Did you thank him then?" she asked. "Yes, I did!" Jordyn replied cheerfully. Celeste didn't ask any further. Since Jordyn had finished her homework, she stayed in

Chapter 243

Even though YodaVision had sealed the deal with Jorge and Beck, certain aspects of the business still lacked suitable partners. To accelerate the search for the right partners, enhance the company's exposure, and push for growth, YodaVision had been organizing an investment conference, which officially took place on Monday morning. After dropping Jordyn off at school in the morning, Celeste headed to the hotel for the conference. By the time she got there, Matthias and the others were already present.Celeste was set to take the stage shortly as the company's core engineer to deliver a speech and answer the media's questions. Hence, she was going over the agenda backstage with Matthias. Just then, Beck arrived.He had only been seated for a moment when Jorge also showed up. About 20 minutes later, Matthias and Celeste went upstage to give their speeches. Jorge appeared engaged during Matthias's speech, yet when Celeste stepped forward, a frown crept onto his face. Was

However, everyone thought she was just being humble.After a brief moment of celebration, the team settled back into work. Wynn knew YodaVision had a press conference this morning. She was just too busy to look it up online. Then, she grabbed her phone and searched for news about the conference. "Did you attend the press conference this morning as well, Mr. Robinson?" she asked Jorge."Yeah."She was watching the video seriously, and the screen happened to be displaying Celeste's presentation on YodaVision's products and technology. He observed Wynn's expression and noticed that she looked composed, without any hint of displeasure or irritation toward Celeste. Remembering Celeste's hostility toward Wynn on Christmas and comparing it to Wynn's demeanor now, he was even more convinced that Celeste couldn't match Wynn's level of composure. Just as he was about to speak, Albert leaned over and commented, "I watched parts of YodaVision's press conference, and I have to say, t

After hanging up, Harvey set down his phone. As he watched the YodaVision press conference playing on the huge screen, he pressed his fingers against his temple, feeling the weight of his concerns. Linda lounged as she enjoyed the fruit. However, watching Celeste command the stage with such ease at a major event unsettled her. With a scowl, she turned off the TV. "Why does she get to be the one up there? She's stealing all the attention.""That's not the point," Lilian said. As far as she was concerned, Celeste was just benefiting from Matthias' influence. A speech at the press conference? So what? That was nothing but a superficial moment in the spotlight. What truly mattered was YodaVision's technology. That was the real prize. Harvey caught on to Lilian's meaning. Sure, Celeste spoke well at the event, but when it came to YodaVision's technology, he, Wynn, and Lilian all believed that Matthias had fed her the information beforehand. There was no way she genuinely un

"Okay.""I'll hang up now. I have to work later," Celeste added. "Alright, bye, Mom!"Celeste then ended the call. After having breakfast, she went to the office. Yesterday had been hectic, and today was just as demanding. But in the afternoon, she managed to leave a little early and went back to the Rodriguez residence to have lunch with Betty. When she arrived, she noticed that Betty seemed a little down. She glanced around the living room, and Jordyn was nowhere to be seen. Jordyn was probably out having dinner with Trevor. Celeste wasn't fazed, but Betty noticed how attached Jordyn was to Trevor. With a serious tone, she said, "Cel, when work isn't as hectic, you really need to spend more time with Jo. Otherwise…"Celeste nodded absentmindedly. "I know. I will. Let's eat first."Betty sighed, letting the conversation end there. After dinner, Celeste chatted for a bit with Betty before she went upstairs to rest. At around 9:00 pm, she went downstairs, only

Celeste placed the cake box into the fridge. Just as Jordyn finished her bath, her phone rang. It was Trevor who called. She answered the call. "Dad?""I just received a message from your grandpa, and he's coming back in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll send someone to pick you up after school, and we'll have dinner at home. Go tell your mom about this."Trevor's father, Lincoln Fleming, worked for the government. He was usually busy working, and he seldom had time to visit his family. The night Martha took a fall, Lincoln rushed back at dawn but left again before the sun even rose. Now, with her still in the hospital, Lincoln arranged for two days off so he could return and spend New Year's Day with her. Upon hearing what Trevor had just said, Jordyn replied, "Okay, got it."After speaking, she suddenly remembered that Trevor had said "pick you up" on the phone—not "pick you both up".That meant Celeste wasn't part of the plan. Hence, she turned to Celeste and asked, "

Technically, she was still married. And with where things stood between them, saying something like that would be inappropriate. After seeing Beck off, Celeste quickly headed back upstairs. He watched her go, lingering for a moment before turning to James Ford, one of his company's core engineers, and said, "I need your help with something.""Of course," James replied. "A friend of mine is looking to study natural language processing in depth but needs an elite mentor…"James listened and, given their rapport, agreed without question.However, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I may have some expertise in this field, but to be honest, I don't think I measure up to Mr. Yoder from YodaVision or Ms. Rodriguez, who has been handling our collaboration discussions. So, if you're looking for the best guidance, Ms. Rodriguez or Mr. Yoder might be better choices."Beck was a little surprised when he heard what James had said. His background was in finance, and AI wasn't h

Wynn was stunned for a moment. After processing his words, she responded kindly, "No worries. Your plans should come first."Beck nodded. Once Wynn drove off, he got into his own car. But instead of starting the engine, he reached for his phone, found Celeste's number, and, after a brief pause, dialed. Celeste was still at the office. Seeing his name on the screen, she answered the call casually, "Mr. Harper?"Beck had words at the tip of his tongue, but the noise in the background made him stop short. Instead, he asked, "Still working at this hour?""Yeah."Considering the time, Celeste assumed this wasn't a work matter. "I'm free tomorrow. What does Shanice have in mind?"Silence.Noticing his silence, Celeste prompted, "Mr. Harper?"Beck knew how busy she had been this week. It was already past nine, and she was still working. He didn't even need to ask—she had to be drained. Her own daughter had returned to the Fleming Manor, and she wouldn't get to see her tom

The next day, just before noon, Celeste went out. It had been a long while since she had met Shanice, and Shanice missed her a lot. Celeste stepped into the restaurant and made her way to the private lounge. The moment Shanice spotted her, she ran over. "Ms. Celeste!"Smiling, Celeste gave her a hug. "It's been a while, Shanice."It was Celeste's first time dining at that restaurant. As she sampled the food, she found every dish surprisingly good—exactly to her taste. After lunch, they went straight to the cinema to pick up the tickets that Beck had booked for the early afternoon. Before heading to the theatre, Shanice asked for popcorn. Beck, about to buy it, asked, "Large or small?""Large! I'll share it with you and Ms. Celeste."Beck replied with a smile. "Alright."Inside, Shanice sat in the middle. Settling in, she placed the popcorn bucket on her lap, took a piece, and munched on it before nudging Celeste to have some too. Celeste obliged, reaching for a piece
