Chapter : 675

As Wynn and Linda were talking, a news platform suddenly broadcast a report about an Al-related academic conference.

It turned out that one of Andostan’s most prestigious and long-established conferences was about to take place.

A reporter was interviewing a senior member of the organizing committee. The official casually listed around eight names and, coincidentally, both Celeste and Matthias were among them.

From the tone of the interview, the invitations had already been sent out, and they were currently awaiting responses from the invitees.

The official also expressed great anticipation about meeting Celeste, Matthias, and the others, hoping to engage in in-depth exchanges and jointly promote the development of the Al industry.

The moment Linda saw the news, her face darkened. She turned to Wynn and asked, “Wynn, did you receive an invitation?”

Even though Linda didn’t fully understand the significance of the conference, the names mentioned by the official were all world-class figures. So, she could tell immediately that this event was anything but ordinary.

After all, Wynn’s PhD supervisor was one of them.

When Wynn saw the news, the flicker in her eyes was far more intense than that of the others in her family. But she concealed it well, so no one noticed.

Hearing Linda’s question, she just replied calmly, “No.”

The Lockets and the Shaws didn’t think much of it, but Linda instantly grew indignant. “Fine, Matthias is one thing, but how does Celeste get an invitation when you didn’t? Out of all these people, do they actually believe she has real ability?”

Even if she did, there was no way she could surpass Wynn!

She let out a snort and added, “If you ask me, these so-called conferences and grand events just invite whoever is famous. They’re all about the hype. Honestly, most of the people attending probably don’t even have that much real substance.”

Wynn and the others didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, after news broke that Celeste and Matthias had received invitations to a world-class Al conference both of them were approached by the media during public events.

Since Celeste was currently unable to travel abroad, she first expressed that she was honored to be invited when asked about it, but quickly. added that she had been swamped lately and was unlikely to attend.

When Linda saw this report, she was furious. “Too busy? I bet she’s just afraid of being exposed!”

Lilian, Patricia, and the others didn’t comment.

That said, Celeste had indeed been thriving lately.

She wasn’t aware of how closely the Lockets and the Shaws were watching her as she was genuinely busy.

Her collaboration project with Quincy and Fleming Group had officially begun.

So, after finishing her interview, she immediately set off with Kieran to meet Trevor and Quincy to discuss work.

Every time the three parties met, they focused purely on the collaboration. There had been little to no conflict, and the partnership had been progressing quite smoothly.

Kieran had accompanied Celeste to meet Trevor and Quincy a few times. Each time, seeing how Celeste and Trevor stayed fully immersed business still surprised him-always polite and strictly professional with each other.

He didn’t expect that two people who once had friction between them could be so

clear-cut in separating work from personal matters.
