There were still important matters at the company , so Harvey was called away by a phone call .
Wynn didn’t look too well .

Lilian guessed that aside from being shaken by Celeste’s dazzling performance today , something else must have happened .
She asked , “ At the launch event , how did Trevor act toward Celeste ? ”
Wynn lowered her eyes . “ He admired her . ” 18
Lilian’s expression gradually darkened .
In the past , Trevor had always ignored Celeste . In his eyes , she was worthless . He had never once shown any admiration for her .
But now-
“ The technology Celeste talked about at the event – do you think it really came from her ? ”
Though she hadn’t interacted with Trevor much , from what her daughter had said , she knew that he understood technology himself and had always held deep respect for technical experts .
So , if Celeste truly had that kind of ability , it wouldn’t be surprising for Trevor to change his stance and start admiring her .
Before Wynn could respond , Linda blurted out , “ Of course , it’s not hers ! She’s just an undergrad – how could she have that kind of capability ? It must be Matthias- ” ( 7 )
But before she could finish , Wynn said , “ It probably is hers . ”
Linda’s eyes widened in shock . “ How is that possible ? How could she- ? ” ( 2
But the fact was , Celeste had skipped three grades and entered university early – at Aurelia University , the top – ranked university
in the country .
Although Linda herself had also skipped grades and gone to a well – known university , it still wasn’t on par with Aurelia University . 2
In other words , Celeste had the foundation for academic research if she had wanted to pursue it .
So , even if it was hard to admit , Wynn couldn’t deny the possibility that both Celeste’s paper and the technologies she presented today might really be her own work . 5
Lilian had thought of this too .
Back then , Celeste’s outstanding academic performance had actually put a lot of pressure on Wynn .
Clenching her hands , Wynn asked , “ If it wasn’t her work , would she dare to claim it so publicly ? ”
Linda disagreed . “ She’s so shameless ! Why wouldn’t she dare to do that ? ”
Lilian and Wynn chose to ignore her .
Wynn pursed her lips and said , “ I just don’t understand … ”

Even though Celeste had skipped grades to enter university , she didn’t achieve anything particularly notable during her time at university . 8
After graduating with her bachelor’s , she got married and had Jordyn , and later joined the Fleming Group .
In that situation , how could she still possess such extensive research expertise ?
Lilian had considered this too . She knew what her daughter was struggling with .

Atter sending Linda out of the room , Lilian said gently , “ Even if Celeste really is that capable , you and Trevor have such a deep bond . It’s not something that can be easily shaken .
“ Besides , you have your own strengths too . So , Wynn , don’t worry too much . ”
Could she not worry ?
Wynn said nothing .
Even though Trevor had seemed calm after the launch event and treated her as kindly as always , could he really be as unaffected by Celeste as he appeared ?
She couldn’t help but think of how , not long ago , Trevor had gone out of his way to collect the research papers Celeste had recommended while giving technical lectures to Fleming Group’s engineers . 5
That thought felt like a thorn in her throat .
If he truly was as calm as he seemed , then why had he not once mentioned anything about the launch event after it ended ? 10
