Wynn replied politely , “ That’s very kind of you to say . ”
Harry then glanced at the group and teased , “ Looks like it’s time for you guys to step up , too . ”
Just then , Harold arrived with Celeste and Matthias in tow ,
He turned to Harry . “ Father , meet the youngest Yoder . His company , YodaVision , has seen remarkable growth and is on the government’s priority list for future support .”
He continued , “ This is Celeste Rodriguez , the core technical developer at YodaVision and a rare talent in the field . The company owes much of its success to her . ”
People of the older generation often had a greater concern for the future of the country .
Hearing Harold’s words , Harry’s smile softened as he remarked , “ That’s wonderful . With the talent we have , there’s a lot to look forward to . ”
Harold also took the opportunity to introduce Betty to Harry-
Then , Harry and Betty started chatting about art .
Having been raised in a cultured household , Betty regularly practiced calligraphy and painting . While she wasn’t in the same league as Harry , she had a solid grasp of painting and could speak on the subject with real depth .
The conversation between them went on for a long time .
Wynn noticed Harold’s introduction of Celeste mirrored Matthias ‘ words from the last banquet . She assumed that Harold admired Matthias and was simply echoing his praise
As Celeste and Betty basked in the Jennings family’s favor , Patricia and the Lockets couldn’t quite hide their discomfort .
Since Patricia and the others had missed the last banquet , they had no idea that Matthias had already spoken highly of Celeste before .
Surprised by Harold’s glowing words , Ruby pulled Wynn aside and lowered her voice . “ Is Celeste really that impressive ? ”
Wynn shrugged and replied , “ Nope . ”
Then , she repeated exactly what Matthias had said about Celeste at the banquet .
“ She only got into YodaVision recently . How could its current success have anything to do with her ? But Matthias clearly has a soft spot for her , or he wouldn’t be so willing to share credit . ”
“ Oh , I see . I really thought she was the real deal . ”
Wynn remarked casually , “ She’s just an undergrad . ”
“ Yeah , whether it’s her school , degree , or anything else , she’s nowhere close to your level . The way Mr. Jennings hype her up , you’d think she was even more accomplished than Matthias . ”
Lilian’s expression , which had just wavered slightly , quickly returned to its usual icy calm after hearing Wynn’s
comment
Sometime later , Trevor returned.
His eyes flicked toward Celeste and Betty , who had unexpectedly moved to the front , but after a brief look , he

turned away .
Wynn smiled , noticing him . “ Call over ? ”
“ Probably more coming in later . ”
“ Something about the overseas company ? ”
Trevor nodded .
Seeing them engaged in conversation , Beck averted his gaze and let it settle on Celeste standing nearby .
He realized she wasn’t even looking at Trevor and Wynn all .
It was as if she no longer cared about Trevor ,
The Shaws , however , were beaming .
After all , even with all the recognition Celeste and Betty gained from Harry , it wouldn’t do much to improve the Rodriguez family’s standing
There was no way the Jennings would try to set Celeste up with Caleb ,
It just didn’t make sense .
