Chapter 422
The next morning , Celeste drove back to YodaVision after droppin Jordyn off at school .
She had already met with two heads of companies working on autonomous vehicles through Matthias previously . But after speaking with them , she felt neither was a good fit .
To find a more suitable partner , she and Matthias attended a cocktail party that evening .
They arrived fairly early and chatted with a few people .
Before long , they spotted Trevor and Wynn .
Celeste and Matthias quickly looked away .
Perhaps their reaction was too obvious , but Trevor and Wynn made no move to come greet them either .
A little while later , Jorge and Xavier arrived as well .
Upon seeing the two pairs – Trevor and Wynn , and Celeste with Matthias – Jorge first walked over to Celeste’s side and greeted them .
“ Mr. Yoder , Ms. Rodriguez , long time no see . ”
It had been a while since they’d last seen Jorge . Celeste and Matthias both nodded politely , but their expressions remained indifferent .
They still didn’t care much for Jorge .
Sensing this , Jorge didn’t push his luck . After the brief greeting , he went over to Trevor and Wynn . “ Mr. Fleming , Ms. Locket . ”
Trevor gave a slight nod . Wynn turned around , smiled faintly upon seeing him , and said , “ Ah , it’s you , Mr. Robinson . It’s been a while . ”
Jorge looked at her . “ Indeed . ”
Though reluctant , he averted his gaze . Seeing that the two were in a serious conversation with someone , he didn’t interrupt
further .
After greeting them , he turned and walked away .
Even though Celeste and Matthias had come with a clear goal in mind , they were constantly being approached by others trying to network , so they were kept fairly busy throughout the event .
Trevor and Wynn were no exception .
In the past , whenever Wynn accompanied Trevor to events like this , she was clearly just a companion . None of the industry bigwigs actually took her seriously . 11
But now , things were different .
Whether InnovaTech had been given to her by Trevor or she had earned it herself , the fact remained that the company now legally belonged to her . 3
She was on the cusp of becoming a billionaire in her own
right .
So tonight , many businessmen who had previously dismissed her were now treating her with noticeably more respect and enthusiasm .
Not only did Wynn herself notice this shift – others did too .
Xavier nudged Jorge with his elbow and said , “ Honestly , on this point , you really have to admit defeat . “ /

Trevor had handed over a company worth billions just like that . When it came to this kind of grand gesture , Jorge truly couldn’t
compare .
He didn’t respond to Xavier .
Even though he saw Trevor as a rival in love , when it came to how Wynn had been treated , he had to admit he was impressed .
Watching her back , he murmured , “ She deserves it . ”
Xavier was dumbfounded .
Seriously ?
Still , both his childhood friend and Trevor were obviously completely captivated by Wynn , both willing to give her everything without hesitation . He couldn’t relate , but he didn’t want to rain on his friend’s parade either .
But , he couldn’t help but comment , “ Financial freedom really is something else . You can spend it on whoever you want , whenever you want . No one can stop you . Honestly , I’m a little jealous of Trevor for that . ” 5
Jorge cut in coldly , “ If you had financial freedom , you’d probably blow through all your money in under a year .
Xavier was speechless ..
Meanwhile , Celeste and Matthias had also noticed how people’s attitudes toward Wynn had shifted .
During conversations , some even joked that Trevor was being incredibly generous – dropping billions for a beauty without batting an eye . 2 .
Wynn , for her part , was actually paying quite a bit of attention to Celeste and Matthias .
However , since so many people kept coming over to greet them , she hadn’t yet figured out what exactly they were here at the party for .
