Matthias and Celeste immediately felt arhill down their sphes .
Matthias quickly said , “ We’re already preparing a new product . We should have a prototype by next year ”
“ Mm . ” Zachary responded indifferently , then added , “ Until you have it ready , don’t come see me again . ”
“ Understood … ”
“ Send me a review by tonight . ”
Celeste and Matthias instantly realized that Zachary was referring to a technical summary of today’s expo .
“ Understood … ‘
After a brief pause , Matthias hesitantly said , “ Uh … Mr. Newnan , finishing it in one night … might be a bit difficult .
In reality , “ a bit difficult ” was a huge understatement . It was practically impossible .
Then , he continued , “ Would … one month be okay ? ”
With so many exhibits and technologies to analyze , he estimated that the summary would be at least tens of thousands of words ; if not , over a hundred thousand . How could they possibly complete it in one night ?
Zachary didn’t respond . He simply stared at them .
Though he always appeared refined and cultured , his gaze was something most people couldn’t withstand
Matthias immediately straightened up and stiffened “ Understood ! We’ll get it done ! ”
Celeste was speechless . At this point , their conversation was effectively over .
Zachary then turned his gaze toward Celeste .
She instinctively straightened her back . “ Mr. Newman … ”
“ Look at who you chose ! ”
Zachary shot her a cold glance , spat out those words , and turned to leave .
Celeste was stunned .
Matthias commented , “ Mr. Newman was talking about your husband . ”
Zachary’s meaning was clear- “ Just look at the kind of man you married ! ”
Celeste immediately understood . But …
“ Did they say something ? ”
Back in the conference hall , she and Matthias had been seated quite far from the front .
They had seen that after their mentor finished speaking and sat down , Trevor and Wynn had stood up to greet him .
But they didn’t know what was actually said .
Matthias shook his head . “ No idea . ”
While they were still processing what had happened , Wynn and Lennox had also stepped outside and happened to

Watching Zachary leave , Lennox turned to Wynn and said , It doesn’t matter . She doesn’t have your expertise . Even if she knows Zachary , so what ? It’s useless to her . She can’t become his student anyway . ”
Wynn nodded . “ I know . ” Then , she added , “ Let’s go . ”
Celeste and Matthias had only come outside to talk to Zachary . They weren’t leaving .
This was an invaluable opportunity to network with peers , leaving now would be a waste .
So , after Zachary left , they returned to the exhibition hall .
Later , they crossed paths with Trevor again , but Celeste didn’t approach him , nor did he come over to her .
To everyone else , they appeared as nothing more than complete strangers .
Wynn’s group hadn’t left either .
Back when Celeste had seen Harvey in the jewelry store , he had taken the initiative to greet her , saying he still cared about her .
Yet today , despite crossing paths multiple times , he never approached her again . Unlike before , he didn’t show the slightest concern .
Thinking about this , Celeste found it laughable . But she understood why .
After all , Wynn was here . Now , everyone knew he was Wynn’s father .
If he went over and acknowledged Celeste , and people somehow discovered that she was Trevor’s wife – then what dignity would he have left ?
