Chapter 411

That afternoon, Celeste and Kieran were in the office discussing work when a knock came at the door."Ms. Rodriguez, Mr. Payne is here.""Alright, thank you." Celeste turned to Kieran and said, "I have some personal matters to deal with. You go ahead and get back to work."Kieran glanced at Jason and his assistant and then nodded and left.Each holding a briefcase, Jason and his assistant stepped inside.Once Candice closed the door behind them, they began laying out the various agreements and documents to double-check everything.After the inventory and handover were complete, Jason added, "By the way, Mr. Fleming's lawyer asked me to pass along a message."He said that if you find it too troublesome and don't want to be involved in any company management or decision-making, and if you're considering selling those shares—Mr. Fleming would be a willing and excellent buyer."Celeste replied coolly, "Got it."With that, Jason didn't linger any longer. He left shortly after with

That night, just as Celeste was getting ready to leave work, she received a call from Jordyn.Since tomorrow was Saturday, Celeste guessed Jordyn probably wanted to visit her. But she wouldn't be free.She had plans to visit the nursing home with Betty and the others to discuss her mother's treatment and medication with the doctor.So, she didn't answer Jordyn's call.On Saturday, when she arrived at the nursing home, Celeste found that Isabelle looked even thinner than the last time they had seen her. Her hair was dry, and her face had lost all color.The doctor explained, "The psychiatric medication she was on earlier has a certain level of toxicity to the liver and kidneys."It wasn't an issue before, but given her current organ failure, it's no longer suitable. So, we've stopped part of her medication."Her mental state has been very poor these past few days, and on top of that, she's taking antibiotics for organ failure. Her body is under tremendous stress..."Celeste tigh

Celeste didn't say anything and walked past Trevor and Jacob into the meeting room.Many people in the room had seen her talking with Trevor at the door.However, since most of them didn't know the nature of her relationship with him, they simply assumed it was a casual greeting and didn't think much of it.But Matthias was in the know.When he saw her return, he quietly asked, "Did you have a fight with him?"Celeste shook her head. "No."Even at the peak of tension and conflict between her and Trevor, they had never fought—let alone now.Fleming Group and YodaVision had just officially begun their collaboration, so Celeste ended up spending nearly the entire day at Fleming Group.That afternoon, just after 5:00 pm, a sudden cheer erupted from the meeting room."Holy crap, it actually worked!""Huh? What happened?""Ms. Rodriguez said the model we were working on before wasn't good enough. We discussed it last week, and over the past few days, we implemented her suggestions

"It's nothing." Wynn smiled, then calmly glanced at her watch and said, "It's about time. Let's go."Trevor replied, "Okay."After briefly greeting everyone in the meeting room, he turned and left with Wynn.Celeste, meanwhile, continued working with the engineers.…Celeste had been worrying about Betty's health. So, she had been staying at the Rodriguez residence ever since Isabelle's medical checkup.That night, after finishing work at Fleming Group, Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence for dinner.Just after she finished eating, her phone lit up with a new message.It was from Caleb. "I'm heading back to base tomorrow."Celeste read the message but didn't reply.Perhaps anticipating her silence, Caleb sent another message a moment later. "See you in a month."This was his way of telling her that he would start pursuing her officially once she got divorced.Celeste understood what he meant, but still didn't reply.She set her phone down and was about to flip thro

Lauren knew Martha as well.After greeting her, she turned her gaze to Celeste and smiled. "You must be Cel?"It was the first time Celeste had met Lauren. So, she respectfully replied, "Yes, I am."Lauren nodded in approval and praised, "You're very good-looking."She had already been briefed on Isabelle's condition before arriving at the hospital. However, instead of hastily issuing a treatment plan, she preferred to observe and further understand the situation before making any decisions.Celeste and Betty originally planned to accompany her the whole time and invite her for lunch at noon as a gesture of gratitude.But Lauren asked them to go home, saying she would inform them once the treatment plan was ready."As for the meal," she looked at Celeste and smiled, "there will be plenty of opportunities in the future—no rush."Since she said so, Celeste and Betty had no choice but to leave for now.After leaving the hospital, Celeste returned to work at the company, and Mar

Isabelle's treatment plan wouldn't be ready so soon.So, the next day, Celeste went back to work as usual after a visit to the hospital.Kevin had flown in from another province to discuss business with her and Matthias.At noon, Celeste and Matthias took Kevin out for lunch.Their collaboration was already close to being finalized. So, while on the way, Matthias asked when Kevin planned to leave.Kevin smiled and said, "I'll stay an extra two days this time, because I have another business meeting tomorrow."Matthias asked with interest, "Oh? What kind of collaboration?""It's with InnovaTech."Upon hearing that name, both Celeste's and Matthias's smiles faded slightly.Kevin didn't notice their change in expression. He was unaware of the feud between YodaVision and InnovaTech.Then, he continued, "InnovaTech made a breakthrough recently. I've heard people in the industry say their future development prospects look very promising."Yesterday, Ms. Locket from InnovaTech call

Celeste didn't answer that question. She had asked it many times long ago.But the truth was, this world was simply unfair.That was something she had come to understand a long time ago.So, she had long since stopped asking.Back then, she had no power to stop anything. But now—She and Matthias were both aware of the city's smart traffic project. It was indeed a solid opportunity.However, YodaVision's reputation was soaring, and they already had better projects in hand, leaving them stretched. So at the time, neither of them had planned to bid on it.But now…After hanging up the call, Celeste went online to thoroughly study the details of the project.The goal of the project was to optimize scheduling for congested urban roads using AI algorithms and to integrate traffic monitoring, signal light networks, and other modules.The technical demands of these modules might require a lot of work and strategic planning for other companies. But for her, they posed no real difficu

Chapter 418

Over the next two to three days, Celeste was fully occupied with matters related to the smart traffic project.To ensure there were no flaws in her proposal, she even went out several times for on-site inspections.In the end, she successfully submitted the bidding documents before the deadline.When Matthias received the news, he smiled and texted her. "Good job."He had also been quite busy these past few days.In addition to overseeing internal affairs and the collaboration with Fleming Group, he also attended two banquets.After the banquets, several executives from autonomous vehicle companies reached out to him.He planned to gather more information about these companies before making any decisions.In the meantime, the collaboration between YodaVision and Fleming Group was going smoothly. They had already entered the next phase of cooperation.To celebrate this positive partnership, Trevor personally invited Matthias and another partner to dinner.When Matthias replied

It wasn't just Wynn and Howard. When the other bidders saw Celeste and Matthias, they more or less realized that all their efforts had likely been for nothing.And that was exactly the case.As everyone waited, the results were quickly announced. The smart traffic project was awarded to YodaVision.Celeste and Matthias weren't surprised at all by the outcome. They had more important matters to attend to and had no intention of lingering.As the two of them walked past Howard and Wynn without even sparing them a glance, the expressions on the father and daughter's faces—which were already grim—grew even darker.Since moving to Baumond, the Locket family's company had been running fairly well thanks to Trevor's support.Because of Wynn's connection to him, many people in their social circle were aware of their company.However, that recognition was mostly limited to within their circle. They had yet to establish a solid reputation on a broader, public level.The main reason for t

Chapter 420

When Celeste saw Howard, there wasn't a trace of surprise on her face.The city's smart traffic project was crucial to the Locket family's tech company, and yet she had swooped in at the last moment and taken it. How could they possibly sit still and do nothing?Besides, this wasn't going to be the last time she made a move like this.She would strike again when the time was right.Now that the bidding had ended and the project was in YodaVision's hands, there was no way the Locket family could snatch it back.So, if she guessed correctly, Howard had come to see her to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.And how would he try to persuade her?By appealing to emotion, of course. Because that would cost nothing.But Celeste had no interest in playing along with such false sentimentality.She turned around and cut Howard off when he was about to speak."I remember what happened the last time. Madam Locket said in front of everyone that I'm not her granddaug
