Bryson’s assistant didn’t know that both Celeste and Matthias were Zachary’s students .
So , when Bryson commented that Matthias was lucky to be with Celeste , the assistant added , “ Last night in an interview , Mr. Yoder said that as a student of Mr. Newman , he had always been held to very high standards .
“ Mr. Newman constantly made him stay on top of the latest developments in the field and required him to thoroughly understand every technical breakthrough .
“ Mr. Newman would also fill in any gaps in his knowledge based on his research .
“ Ms. Rodriguez is already quite capable . After getting together with Mr. Yoder , she also has his guidance . That means she’ll be able to grow even faster .
“ So really , being with Mr. Yoder is a good thing for Ms. Rodriguez . ”
That much was true ; However …
One of Rodney’s students then said , “ So what you’re saying is – the insights Ms. Rodriguez just shared were largely a combination of the result of Mr. Yoder’s and Mr. Newman’s research ? ”
In other words , Celeste wasn’t quite as impressive as they had just assumed .
Although the student didn’t directly say so , everyone present – including Wynn – understood the underlying implication .
Rodney , realizing this , was momentarily stunned and visibly disappointed . He had genuinely thought Celeste was a rare , all – around genius in AI . He hadn’t expected this to be the case .
Trevor also paused for a moment .
Seeing both Rodney and Trevor’s reactions , Wynn’s lips curved slightly .
So , it turned out that what Celeste had said earlier was really just a repackaging of the technical analyses done by Matthias and Zachary .
No wonder Bryson and Rodney had mistakenly thought she was some kind of AI genius .
As for Trevor , although he hadn’t praised Celeste as openly as Bryson and Rodney , he had been present when Celeste spoke about recent developments in the field .
He , too , had probably been impressed by her insights .
But judging from his reaction now, it seemed he had also realized that Celeste’s so – called brilliance was actually just riding on the coattails of Matthias and Zachary .
In reality , Celeste didn’t have that level of ability .
But Bryson knew the fact that Celeste was also Zachary’s student .
He’d previously had a discussion with her on the developments of AI and was also aware that YodaVision’s now- famous programming language had been developed under her leadership .
So , he knew very clearly that Celeste’s technical abilities were absolutely strong. It wouldn’t be totally unthinkable that she had come up with all those insights she shared earlier .
Since she was Zachary’s student , such brilliance wasn’t entirely impossible .
That was why Bryson actually believed the ideas Celeste had shared came from her own research .

It was just that these matters were confidential and couldnt be disclosed publicly .
So , even though he knew that Trevor and the others had misunderstood Celeste , he couldn’t say anything to defend her .
Celeste didn’t know what had happened in Trevor’s office .
After leaving Fleming Group , she returned directly to Yodavision .
While she was eating lunch , Naomi messaged her with genuine congratulations . “ Ms. Rodriguez , I didn’t expect you to be doing so well after leaving the company . Congratulations ! ”
Naomi didn’t really know what kind of collaboration Celeste was discussing with Fleming Group , but the fact that Celeste could comain as a partner meant her current position had to be pretty high .
Celeste replied , “ Thank you . You seem to be doing well too congrats to you . ”
Then she followed up with another message . “ Also , the coffee you made was really good . Thank you for that . ”
Naomi felt both happy and a little embarrassed when she read it . “ But I still think your coffee tastes better , Ms. Rodríguez . No matter how many times I try , I can’t seem to match it .
“ I use the exact same method and measurements , but Mr. Fleming still doesn’t like mine . In the end , just to keep my job , I spent a long time learning from a barista friend before I could even achieve what I can now . ”
After chatting a bit more with Naomi , Celeste ended the conversation .
Matthias returned from his business trip that afternoon .
The lawyer informed them that regarding InnovaTech’s compensation to YodaVision , Wynn had already paid 200 million dollars . There were still over 100 million left , which would take some more time ..
Matthias curled his lip . “ Isn’t Trevor always generous with Wynn ? Buying her a house without hesitation , giving her a company as a gift , and all .
“ After the contract termination , he even immediately helped her secure a partnership with DataWing Inc.
“ Our total compensation is just over 300 million , and yet it’s taking this long to raise the money ? Are they doing this on purpose ? ”
Celeste guessed , “ Probably not . I think the Locket family doesn’t want to trouble Trevor anymore — they intend to cover this amount themselves . ”
That did seem likely .
Matthias clicked his tongue and said , “ Given the Locket family’s strength , it’s not easy for them to come up with two to three hundred million in a short time while still keeping all their projects running .
“ Still , the fact that Wynn insists on paying us back herself . Well , those two really are devoted to each other . ”
Celeste thought so too .
But honestly , she had already known this very clearly back when Wynn had risked her life to take a knife for Trevor and when Trevor insisted on divorcing her .
