Chapter 52

By the time Celeste , Matthias , and their group had their tickets checked and entered the exhibition hall , it was already quite packed .
The hall was massive , showcasing exhibits such as drones , flying cars , and humanoid robots .
There were numerous exhibits , each with its own focus on core technologies . As soon as Celeste and the others entered , they were overwhelmed by the dazzling array of innovations .
Matthias was quite well – known . Shortly after they arrived , people started coming over to greet him one after
another .
He also introduced Celeste to some connections .
While she was smiling and greeting someone , she happened to be facing the entrance of the exhibition hall . Her gaze unexpectedly met Wynn’s as she and her group walked in .
Wynn paused . She didn’t expect to see Celeste here .
After all , this exhibition was a dream networking event for top tech elites . Each invitation was extremely valuable .
Matthias was a major shareholder of YodaVision . It was one thing for him to bring Celeste , a mere undergraduate , into the company . Employees might not say much about it .
But for him to give such a precious ticket to Celeste , a newcomer to the company , surely the other elite employees of YodaVision would have something to say about it .
Matthias was a student of Zachary . She had heard before that although he dedicated part of his efforts to the business side of things , his expertise in AI remained formidable .
Over the years , he had personally overseen the development of his company’s products .
He was technically skilled and a valued talent . With Cuap as a core barrier protecting the company , YodaVision had flourished in recent years .
Quentin had spoken highly of him before . He called him an exceptional leader .
Previously , Wynn had already started to question whether he truly deserved such high praise when he refused to hire her because of Celeste .
And now , he was actually giving an important exhibition ticket to Celeste ?
Wasn’t this completely irrational ?
Frowning at the thought , Wynn’s expression darkened .
Harvey and Lennox also spotted Celeste . They , too , frowned . They didn’t expect to see her here as well .
Celeste merely glanced at them before looking away .
Harvey noticed that she was chatting with a tall man , and they seemed to have a close relationship . He frowned and asked Wynn , “ That man … Wynn , do you know him ? ”
“ That’s Matthias . ”
“ That’s Matthias ? ” Harvey was surprised .
He was aware that Celeste had left Fleming Group to join YodaVision . But he had assumed she was just an ordinary employee there .

He didn’t expect Matthias to hold her in such high regard .
Before Wynn could say anything , someone approached there .
“ Ms. Locket , Mr. Locket , you’re here ? ”
“ Mr. Abbot . ” Wynn and Harvey greeted the newcomer .
Originally , they had only received two tickets , but because of last night’s “ scene ” at the charity gala , many in their social circle had become aware of Wynn’s unusual relationship with Trevor .
Wanting to strengthen their ties with Trevor , Carl Abbot had someone deliver an extra ticket to them overnight upon learning that Wynn’s group lacked a ticket .
Quite a few people had learned about Wynn’s connection to Trevor from news about the charity gala .
Carl had only exchanged a few pleasantries with Wynn before others came over to greet them as well . Before long , more and more people gathered around them , drawing attention from those nearby .
Meanwhile , on Celeste’s side , Cole Turner , who had been chatting with them , glanced over and commented , ” That’s the Locket family over there . You’ve all heard about it , right ?

“ Ms. Locket has quite the connection with Trevor . Look at that crowd – everyone’s flocking over to cozy up to them . ”
His tone carried a hint of disdain .
Matthias was also aware of what happened the previous night at the charity gala involving Wynn .
