Chapter 356
Last week , Matthias ‘ lawyer went to InnovaTech to negotiate the contract termination , but the talks fell through . That same day , they filed a lawsuit with the court .
When Celeste had that confrontation at InnovaTech with Wynn and the others , Matthias was away on a business trip .
Maybe because she couldn’t meet Matthias , Wynn hadn’t given up on the matter yet .
On Monday , when Celeste arrived at work , she saw Wynn again . As before , when the two women saw each other , neither acknowledged the other .
When Celeste got to the office , she found that Matthias was already there .
“ You’re here early . ”
Matthias shrugged . “ I came in over half an hour early just in case someone tried to intercept me . ”
Celeste smiled at that .
Jorge happened to be in YodaVision that day to discuss something with Matthias . As soon as he stepped out of the elevator , he spotted Wynn .
He had already heard about what happened between YodaVision and InnovaTech last week . So the moment he saw her , he immediately understood why she was there so early !
He walked over and asked with concern , “ When did you arrive ? Haven’t seen Mr. Yoder yet ? ”
“ I’ve been here for about half an hour . Mr. Yoder probably hasn’t arrived at the office yet , so I haven’t seen him . ” Then she added , “ Are you here for Mr. Yoder , Mr. Robinson ? ”
Jorge nodded . “ Yes . ”
He wasn’t sure if Matthias had arrived . Hearing she’d been waiting for so long , he frowned slightly .
But before he could say anything , Matthias ‘ assistant came out to greet him and his secretary . “ Mr. Robinson , please come in . ”
Jorge paused . “ Mr. Yoder is inside ? ”
Candice smiled . “ Yes . ”
Jorge glanced at Wynn .
Wynn stepped forward and said to Candice , “ Ms. Arden , I’m Wynn Locket from InnovaTech . I have something important to discuss with Mr. Yoder . Could you please— ”
“ Apologies , Ms. Locket , ” Candice interrupted before she could finish , “ but I don’t see an appointment for you . ” Then she turned back to Jorge . “ Mr. Robinson , please come in . ”
Jorge’s lips pressed into a tight , displeased line .
Just as he was about to speak , Wynn said , “ I really do have something urgent to discuss with Mr. Yoder . I’m willing to wait here . I won’t take up much of his time – ten minutes , that’s all . ”
Candice nodded with a polite smile , then looked back at Jorge .

Since Wynn had already said that , it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to push further . He gave her a brief nod and followed Candice into YodaVision .
Candice brought them straight to Matthias ‘ office . But once there , she didn’t mention Wynn at all .
Jorge noticed this and frowned deeper .
When it came to business matters , Matthias still treated him with a certain degree of courtesy . Seeing him arrive , Matthias stood and said , “ Mr. Robinson , you’re here . Please , have a seat . ”
Jorge sat down .
Just as Matthias was instructing Candice to bring them coffee , Jorge said , “ Ms. Locket from InnovaTech has been waiting outside for a while . Perhaps you should invite her in ? ”
Matthias chuckled when he heard that . “ Is that so ? But I already have my own arrangements . Mr. Robinson , why don’t we focus on our business ? ”
From that , Jorge immediately understood – Matthias knew Wynn was outside . But clearly , he had no intention of seeing her .
Jorge frowned and said , “ Mr. Yoder , I’ve heard about the situation . While InnovaTech is indeed at fault , it doesn’t seem serious enough to justify terminating the contract .
“ Is it really necessary to make things difficult for Ms. Locket over a personal grudge ? ”
Matthias laughed , a cold edge in his voice . “ Whether it’s serious enough to terminate the contract is up to me to decide . If I think the contract should be terminated , then I must have my reasons .
“ Mr. Robinson , I believe this is an internal matter of my company . It has nothing to do with you , does it ? ”
Jorge had long suspected that Matthias ‘ actions were influenced by Celeste , and that was why he was targeting Wynn .
Previously , Matthias had already done several things against Wynn that didn’t match his usual standards – all seemingly for Celeste’s sake .
Despite their long – standing collaboration , and even though he thought Matthias could be a bit arrogant , he had generally found him to be a decent person .
He had assumed that after the last incident , Matthias would realize he had gone too far , and wouldn’t let Celeste influence him again .
But to his disappointment , the same situation had arisen – and Matthias was once again choosing to bulldoze his way through without reason .
Jorge’s face darkened . He couldn’t help but say , “ Mr. Yoder aren’t you worried that once Mr. Newman finds out about this , he’ll be disappointed in you ? ”
Matthias raised an eyebrow and laughed . “ Mr. Robinson , are you threatening me ? ”
Jorge said calmly , “ I’m not threatening you . I’m just stating facts . I believe Mr. Newman wouldn’t want his most valued student to become someone so-
