Bryson’s assistant didn’t know that both Celeste and Matthias were Zachary’s students.
So, when Bryson commented that Matthias was lucky to be with Celeste, the assistant added, “Last night in an
interview, Mr. Yoder said that as a student of Mr. Newman, he had always been held to very high standards.
“Mr. Newman constantly made him stay on top of the latest developments in the field and required him to
thoroughly understand every technical breakthrough.
“Mr. Newman would also fill in any gaps in his knowledge based on his research.
“Ms. Rodriguez is already quite capable. After getting together with Mr. Yoder, she also has his guidance. That
means she’ll be able to grow even faster.
“So really, being with Mr. Yoder is a good thing for Ms. Rodriguez.”
That much was true; However...
One of Rodney's students then said, “So what you're saying is-the insights Ms. Rodriguez just shared were
largely a combination of the result of Mr. Yoder’s and Mr. Newman's research?”
In other words, Celeste wasn’t quite as impressive as they had just assumed.
Although the student didn’t directly say so, everyone present-including Wynn-understood the underlying

Rodney, realizing this, was momentarily stunned and visibly disappointed. He had genuinely thought Celeste was
a rare, all-around genius in Al. He hadn't expected this to be the case.
Trevor also paused for a moment.
Seeing both Rodney and Trevor's reactions, Wynn's lips curved slightly.
So, it turned out that what Celeste had said earlier was really just a repackaging of the technical analyses done
by Matthias and Zachary.
No wonder Bryson and Rodney had mistakenly thought she was skind of Al genius.
As for Trevor, although he hadn't praised Celeste as openly as Bryson and Rodney, he had been present when
Celeste spoke about recent developments in the field.
He, too, had probably been impressed by her insights.
But judging from his reaction now, it seemed he had also realized that Celeste’s so-called brilliance was actually
just riding on the coattails of Matthias and Zachary.
In reality, Celeste didn’t have that level of ability.
But Bryson knew the fact that Celeste was also Zachary’s student.
He'd previously had a discussion with her on the developments of Al and was also aware that YodaVision’s now-
famous programming language had been developed under her leadership.
So, he knew very clearly that Celeste’s technical abilities were absolutely strong. It wouldn't be totally
unthinkable that she had cup with all those insights she shared earlier.
Since she was Zachary’s student, such brilliance wasn’t entirely impossible.
That was why Bryson actually believed the ideas Celeste had shared cfrom her own research.

It was just that these matters were confidential and couldnt be disclosed publicly.
So, even though he knew that Trevor and the others had misunderstood Celeste, he couldn’t say anything to
defend her.
Celeste didn’t know what had happened in Trevor's office.
After leaving Fleming Group, she returned directly to Yodavision.
While she was eating lunch, Naomi messaged her with genuine congratulations. “Ms. Rodriguez, | didn’t expect
you to be doing so well after leaving the company. Congratulations!”
Naomi didn’t really know what kind of collaboration Celeste was discussing with Fleming Group, but the fact that
Celeste could comain as a partner meant her current position had to be pretty high.
Celeste replied, “Thank you. You seem to be doing well too congrats to you.”
Then she followed up with another message. “Also, the coffee you made was really good. Thank you for that.”
Naomi felt both happy and a little embarrassed when she read it. “But | still think your coffee tastes better, Ms.
Rodriguez. No matter how many times | try, | can’t seem to match it.

“I use the exact smethod and measurements, but Mr. Fleming still doesn’t like mine. In the end, just to keep
my job, | spent a long tlearning from a barista friend before I could even achieve what | can now.”
After chatting a bit more with Naomi, Celeste ended the conversation.
Matthias returned from his business trip that afternoon.
The lawyer informed them that regarding InnovaTech’s compensation to YodaVision, Wynn had already paid 200
million dollars. There were still over 100 million left, which would take smore time..
Matthias curled his lip. “Isn't Trevor always generous with Wynn? Buying her a house without hesitation, giving
her a company as a gift, and all.
“After the contract termination, he even immediately helped her secure a partnership with DataWing Inc.
“Our total compensation is just over 300 million, and yet it's taking this long to raise the money? Are they doing
this on purpose?”
Celeste guessed, “Probably not. | think the Locket family doesn’t want to trouble Trevor anymore—they intend to
cover this amount themselves.”
That did seem likely.
Matthias clicked his tongue and said, “Given the Locket family’s strength, it’s not easy for them to cup with
two to three hundred million in a short twhile still keeping all their projects running.
“still, the fact that Wynn insists on paying us back herself. Well, those two really are devoted to each other.”
Celeste thought so too.
But honestly, she had already known this very clearly back when Wynn had risked her life to take a knife for
Trevor and when Trevor insisted on divorcing her.
