What a pity. Celeste was beautiful on the outside but rotten within. Thinking this, Miles suddenly lost interest and
looked away, 2
Jorge had also been momentarily dazzled by Celeste’s beauty. However, his thoughts were similar to Miles’.
That was why he almost immediately turned his face away in disgust.
Xavier, on the other hand, quite liked Celeste’s type. He wasn’t in a hurry to look away, but noticing Jorge's
reaction, he asked, “What's up with you? That reaction.. Did she offend you again?”
Caleb also withdrew his gaze.
Jorge then recounted in full detail what had happened at YodaVision a couple of days ago.
Xavier commented, “Huh... Never would've thought that Ms Rodriguez was that kind of person.”
Caleb, pausing as he sipped his drink, responded, “Maybe there was already an unresolved grudge between her
and Ms. Locket that we don’t know about.”

Jorge dismissed the thought. “Even if theres a grudge, does that mean she gets to abuse her position for
personal revenge?
Without knowing the full story, Caleb refrained from making further judgments.
Meanwhile, Celeste and Matthias, who had just arrived at the banquet hall, were immediately surrounded by the
crowd.
Everyone was eager to flatter Matthias,
Matthias replied, “You givetoo much credit. YodaVisions success today is the result of our entire company’s
efforts.”
At that, he turned to look at Celeste and added, “Especially cel-her contributions have been invaluable.
From the CUAP project to the latest initiatives, the core technology was all in her hands.
Of course, her identity still couldn't be revealed. In fact, even the key personnel from their company involved in
the project had signed confidentiality agreements with the government.
While he couldnt expose her identity, he could at least make sure people recognized her significance.
Lately, with so much attention on YodaVision, many knew that Celeste was not only an employee there but also
had a close relationship with Matthias.
Seven knew that Matthias would entrust her with handling company affairs in his absence.
Hearing him say this now, most instinctively believed that Celeste must be quite capable at work.
But as for his claim that “YodaVision wouldn't be where it is today without her,” no one took that too seriously.
After all, they had heard that Celeste had only joined YodaVision two to three months ago.
Matthias was probably just deeply in love, not wanting anyone to look down on her.
Given Celeste’s undeniable beauty and the fact that Matthias was currently riding high in his career, it was no
surprise he'd be utterly enchanted by her.
Though people thought this privately, they kept their expressions composed, smiling as they complimented her,
Ms. Rodriguez truly embodies both talent and beauty.”

On the other side, Wynn overheard this and let out a mocking; chuckle.
She glanced at Trevor, only to see that after looking over in Celeste’s direction for a brief moment, he lost
interest and looked away.
Seeing this, Wynn also withdrew her gaze indifferently, but just then, she noticed Beck staring intently in that
direction.
No-he was probably looking at Matthias, not Celeste.
Wynn Inew that Beck was interested in collaborating with YodaVision.
As for Celeste, Beck had always despised her. There was no way he’d be watching her. No matter how beautiful.
Celeste was, Beck would never be interested in her.
Noticing Wynn looking at him, Beck turned his gaze away and asked, “What's wrong?
Wynn smiled. “Nothing.”
“I'm
Beck didn’t press the matter. Seeing that the crowd around Matthias and Celeste had thinned a bit, he said,
going over to greet Matthias. Trevor, have you decided whether to collaborate with YodaVision? If so, why don’t
we go over together?”
