Celeste was sitting beside Zachary ,
He was still talking to Betty , and he hadn’t spared her a glance yet .
Celeste turned a little to Matthias . “ Thank you , Matthias . ”
She could tell that Betty was in a much better mood after Zachary came .
“ There’s no need to thank me . ” Matthias shrugged . “ Mr. Newman just happened to reply to me regarding the project you came up with not long ago . Then I told him about this , and he came . So , really , you should be thanking yourself . ”
As Celeste was about to speak , she heard someone mention Trevor’s name .
Hesitating for a moment , she turned around , only to see Trevor at the entrance .
With all eyes on him , he approached Betty with steady steps . “ Happy birthday . ”
Then , he handed the gift box to her and said , “ Just in case the first gift wasn’t to your taste , I brought another . I hope you like it . ”
Betty didn’t realize Trevor would attend at all .
Yet his arrival didn’t bring joy to her ..
Sure , the Shaws were shameless , but without his support , they wouldn’t have the nerve to act so boldly here in Baumond .
With so many people watching , Betty accepted the gift politely . “ Thank you , that’s very thoughtful of you , ” she voiced indifferently .
Then , she turned to the waiter and asked , “ Could you set an extra place at the table ? ”
Trevor remained unfazed by Betty’s indifference . Noticing Zachary aside , he greeted calmly , “ Hello , Mr. Newman .

Zachary gave him a quick nod .
As Celeste looked his way , he met her eyes . Trevor instructed the waiter to place a chair between Celeste and Zachary , then settled into his seat .
The guests here wasted no time spreading the news that Zachary was there to celebrate Betty’s birthday after he had arrived .
It took less than two minutes for the news to reach the Shaws ‘ side .
The guests at the Shaw residence were all shocked .
“ The Rodriguez family has connections this strong ? ”
“ I don’t know . Oh , that’s Matthias Yoder in the photo , right ? And the beautiful lady by his side is actually Mr. Rodriguez’s niece ? I don’t recall Mr. Rodriguez ever mentioning this . Well , that clears things up . If she’s Mr. Rodriguez’s niece , it makes perfect sense . ”
“ What do you mean ? ”
“ She and Matthias went to the tech expo together recently . They’re clearly close – maybe something big is coming .

The Yoders were a prestigious family , and YodaVision was doing exceptionally well . Apparently , Zachary had great expectations for Matthias as well .
If Ivan’s niece and Matthias really got together , it would significantly boost the Rodriguez family’s connections .
With that , the Rodriguez family was still not to be underestimated .
Neither the Locket family nor the Rodriguez family anticipated that Zachary would make an appearance at Betty’s birthday party , a
Watching the guests reassess their relationship with the Rodriguez family due to Matthias and Zachary’s presence , the Shaws couldn’t hide their displeasure .
Linda wasn’t one to keep up with national news . She was aware Wynn wanted to learn from someone , but since she wasn’t interested , she didn’t remember the person’s name .
She asked , “ Is Zachary someone influential ? Why are they so surprised ? ”
Wynn replied expressionlessly , “ He’s a globally influential figure in the AI field and also someone who could speak for the country . He’s my ideal mentor . ”
Linda was stunned . “ That’s impressive . ”
Seconds later , she added , “ So , was this the reason why Uncle Harvey was so angry with Celeste for making you lose the chance to meet with this important figure ? ”
