Chapter 806
Quentin never would have imagined that Cuap was actually Celeste’s creation.
The shock hit him so hard that he couldn’t recover for a long time. His chest felt tight, and it took him quite a while to finally regain his composure.
He looked at Matthias and spoke with difficulty. “Are you trying to say that Celeste was able to get into YodaVision because of her capability rather than because she pulled strings like I thought?”
The moment he spoke, the entire room fell silent.
Matthias gave him a mocking smile. “Of course not. Weren’t you just asking whether the reason Ms. Locket failed to get into YodaVision, become my mentor’s student, and become Professor Lancaster’s student tonight was all because Cel was taking revenge on her?
“I don’t know the details of what happened tonight with Professor Lancaster, as we just found out that he wanted to take Cel on as his student at the same time as everyone else here. But for the other two matters…”
He paused and didn’t continue immediately.
He glanced at Quentin and Wynn before turning to the other guests and smiled. “Everyone should know that YodaVision has two founders, right?”
Everyone immediately understood what Matthias was getting at the moment those words left his mouth.
Quentin, Georgette, and the others all widened their eyes in disbelief. “How… How is that possible?”
Xavier’s eyes were almost bulging out of his head. He was completely stunned by the revelation. “Holy crap…”
Lilian suddenly looked up, the disbelief in her eyes even greater than everyone else’s. Her wineglass had slipped from her hand and fallen onto the carpet, but she didn’t even notice.
Harvey was equally stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Linda and Ruby reacted much the same way. Linda’s mind had gone completely blank. She stared at Celeste in a daze, unable to accept what she was hearing. “That… That’s impossible…”
Miles felt dizzy. He stared blankly at Celeste before turning mechanically to Beck. “I… I must be dreaming, right?”
How could Celeste possibly be one of YodaVision’s founders? How was that even possible?
Beck had known about this for a long time. So, hearing Miles’s words, he only looked at Celeste but said nothing.
However, he couldn’t help remembering all the misunderstandings and prejudices he, Trevor, and Miles had once held against Celeste every time he thought about that.
Then, looking at everything she had accomplished and her capabilities, even he sometimes found it hard to believe.
Kieran was equally shocked. He simply couldn’t believe it.
Although he already knew that Celeste and Matthias weren’t a couple as everyone had assumed, he had always thought that Matthias handed so much authority over to her And because they were close het
e trusted her, and she was capable
enough to earn that.
He had never imagined that Celeste was actually one of YodaVision’s founders. He
just stared at her, completely stunned.
Amid the shock of the entire hall,
Matthias spoke again while looking at Quentin, “YodaVision is Cel’s own company. And since it’s her company, she has the right to decide who works for the company. How does that become ‘revenge’?”
The others finally began to recover from their shock.
“That’s right. Ms. Locket and her family destroyed Ms. Rodriguez’s family and then went on to interfere in her marriage. Anyone with common sense would know not to let someone like that work at their own company. She’d have to be an idiot to do otherwise.”
“Exactly.”
