“ Cel understands engines and chips ? How is that possible ? ”
Even after Celeste’s paper earlier caused a stir , Harvey still didn’t believe she was truly the one who wrote it .
And now Lilian was telling him that Celeste was very skilled in things like engines and chip technology ?
How could that be possible ?
Lilian lowered her gaze . Whether it was possible or not , they only had to check online to find out .

A moment later , after watching part of Celeste’s presentation from Velotra’s launch event , Lilian’s heart gradually sank . 1
Harvey , on the other hand , still couldn’t believe it .
Then Linda said angrily over the phone , “ She did it on purpose ! She sabotaged Uncle Harvey’s transportation project , and now she’s trying to target Wynn’s company too ! ”
On that point , both Harvey and Lilian agreed .
Whether the breakthrough technology shown at the press conference truly belonged to Celeste or not , one thing was clear- Velotra’s launch event would deal a serious blow to InnovaTech .
Before they could say anything , Linda continued , now full of anxiety . “ What do we do now ? Everyone’s saying Velotra will likely dominate the autonomous vehicle market going forward . Wynn’s company has no competitiveness left— ”

Although Velotra did seem impressive right now-
Lilian released her clenched fist and said in a calm , unaffected tone , “ Technology evolves every day . Today it’s your company with the breakthrough , tomorrow it’s mine with a better edge .
“ Autonomous vehicles haven’t officially launched on a global scale yet . We still have time . Fortune is a fickle mistress . It’s too early to say who’ll truly win the market once these cars are commercially available . ”
What Lilian said wasn’t entirely wrong .
However , Harvey knew very well that his own tech company had failed to produce any real competitive breakthroughs for years . He also knew it wasn’t easy to gain a technological edge .
After all , if achieving tech breakthroughs were simple , there wouldn’t be so few tech giants in the world , whether in the country
or abroad . M
The key to technological breakthroughs lay in gaining the upper hand early .
And Velotra’s breakthrough wasn’t just on one front – it was on multiple fronts , and their advancements had global significance .
Other companies could only look up to Velotra or try to catch up . That might take a year or two at best , or ten to twenty years at
worst .
And by the time they thought they had caught up , the market would already have no place left for them .
Harvey was visibly unsettled and said , “ I wonder what Trevor thinks about all this . ”
Lilian understood that he meant to contact their daughter .
She replied calmly , “ They still have Important matters to handle . Let’s wait until Wynn and Trevor are done with their work before talking about it . ”
“ Alright . ”
There was no other option .

After having dinner with Trevor and Leroy , Wynn returned home .
Although her family hadn’t contacted her during the dinner , she knew for sure that they were already aware of what had happened at Velotra and with Celeste .
As expected , when she arrived home , she saw her parents and Linda there .
Before anyone could say a word , she asked first , “ You know about already ? ”
“ Mm , ” Lilian replied . “ So , what does Trevor say about it ? ”
Wynn sat down and shook her head . “ Trevor didn’t say anything . ”
Lilian , in the middle of lifting her teacup , froze . “ What do you mean ? ”
Wynn answered , “ Regarding Velotra’s launch today , he didn’t say a word . ”
Trevor hadn’t commented at all – not on Celeste , not on Velotra’s future . Nothing .
Lilian froze again .
Harvey and Linda both looked stunned .
This wasn’t like Trevor at all . 10
Velotra’s launch was putting InnovaTech under such massive pressure .
Under normal circumstances , Trevor would have comforted Wynn , told her not to worry , and then carefully analyzed Velotra’s tech breakthroughs from every angle – technical , market , and business – and discussed what strategies they needed to adopt to
overcome the current crisis . ( 16
But this time , he’d said nothing . ( 15
