Chapter : 566

The press conference soon officially began.

Celeste didn’t look at Trevor again. She focused completely on

answering the journalists’ questions.

The conference drew huge attention both domestically and

internationally.

The Locket family was also in the same line of business, so

news about a major technological breakthrough was something

Harvey and Luther would never miss—especially since this

project came from Fleming Group. 2

Linda normally had little interest in such news, but when she saw

it was related to Trevor, curiosity got the better of her. She

clicked on the livestream only to see Celeste on the screen. 1

“It’s her again! She’s everywhere!” she snapped. ©

Lilian and Erin knew that Fleming Group’s project was a

collaboration with YodaVision.

But they had assumed that Matthias would be the one personally

attending the press conference to handle the media.

After all, thanks to Fleming Group’s earlier publicity, the event

had drawn enormous international attention.

They hadn’t bothered to watch it themselves. To them, it was

enough to know that Fleming Group had once again taken the

lead in product innovation. 2

Only now, after hearing what Linda said, did they realize that

Celeste had actually been the one representing YodaVision and

speaking at the conference.

And from the way things looked, she had been the star of the

entire event.

According to remarks from Fleming Group’s Lazarus, this

unexpected breakthrough owed a great deal to Celeste’s

contribution.

“How could she possibly be that capable? It must’ve been

Matthias helping her behind the scenes,” Linda said sourly. 5

Watching Celeste calmly and confidently discuss complex

technical topics on-screen made her fume. 2

“She talks like she really knows what she’s doing—acting like

she’s some genius! So shameless!” 5

“She’s never made a single mistake in these kinds of public

settings,” Ruby said mildly, though she sounded unimpressed.

I’ll give her that she does have some ability.

“But so what if she does? Even if she’s been a big help to

Matthias, what does she actually gain from it? Even if they’re

dating, YodaVision will never belong to her. No matter how

impressive she looks, she’s still just working for someone else.

The company’s profits have little to do with her.” 5

In truth, Lilian and Patricia felt the same way.

Sure, Celeste seemed to have a good relationship with Matthias.

With his and Zachary’s help, her professional skills had

improved significantly.

But so what?

Without Matthias, Celeste was just another talented Al

specialist, and there was no shortage of those in the world. =

Being skilled didn’t automatically mean turning that skill into

So, no matter how glamorous she looked now, the reality was

that what she got out of Matthias was probably not even a

fraction of what Wynn had. 2

Look at things that way, Celeste’s apparent success and busy

lifestyle seemed almost laughable. 2

While the others were talking, Wynn stayed silent.

Sensing the glances cast her way, she lowered her eyes slightly,

her hand tightening around her coffee cup.

She hadn’t watched the press conference because even without

seeing it, she already knew that the project’s success must have

had something to do with Celeste. *

When Fleming Group had released its teaser earlier online, she’d

looked into it. And she’d had to admit—professionally, Celeste

really was getting further and further ahead.
