Celeste returned to the private dining room, and a while later, Jorge also came back.
By then, they had finished eating, so they left the restaurant
Jorge returned to his company to prepare materials, while Celeste and Matthias headed back to YodaVision.
Around 3:00 pm, Beck arrived at YodaVision at nearly the same time as Jorge.
They had dined together before during the autonomous vehicle tests at InnovaTech.
Seeing Beck now, Jorge greeted him, “Mr. Harper, have you confirmed your partnership with YodaVision?”
“Yes. So that means Mr. Robinson is also ready to sign the contract?”
“That’s right.”
Beck was a little surprised. After all, at the banquet before, Matthias had outright rejected Jorge without hesitation.
He didn’t expect that in the end, they would still end up working together. But what exactly changed? At that moment, Celeste and Matthias entered the receptiat room.
Although Matthias wasn’t particularly fond of either Beck of Jorge, it was clear that Beck had a much better attitude toward Celeste compared to Jorge.
So, when it came to discussing business, Matthias let Celeste handle the negotiations with Beck, while he took care of matters with Jorge.
Jorge had no objections to this arrangement. But Beck…
He simply smiled and said, “I’ll be in your hands, Ms. Rodriguez.”
Celeste replied, “Mr. Harper, you’re too polite. This way, please.”
After sitting down, Celeste began discussing technical matters with Beck’s team. By the time they finished, the sky had already darkened.
As they left the meeting room, Beck asked, “Ms. Rodriguez, would you like to have dinner together?” Celeste replied, “I have something to take care of. I’ll ask Matthias-”
At that moment, Matthias stepped out of the reception room and interjected, “Dinner? Sounds good” Then He turned to Celeste and said, “Cel, if you have something to do, go ahead. I’ll take care of this.”
Celeste nodded, greeted Beck, ignored Jorge’s gaze, and turned to leave.
Beck couldn’t say anything
Matthias looked at Jorge and said, “Mr. Harper is treating us to dinner. Mr. Robinson, care to join?” Jorge replied, “T’ll join.”
After leaving YodaVision, Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence,
Her visit this time was to discuss business with Ivan.

Currently, YodaVision was focused on preparing two major projects, though each project was divided into multiple parts and outsourced.
She h
had specifically set aside one of these outsourced segments for her uncle.
After hearing her out, Ivan was naturally tempted. “Would Matthias be okay with this?”
“He won’t mind. I’ve already discussed it with him.”
“Alright.” Ivan nodded, then hesitated before saying, “But my liquidity is running low. I’m afraid…”
“I have over 100 million,” Celeste said. “If that’s not enough, we can auction off the two gifts Trevor gave Grandma for her birthday.”
During Betty’s birthday, two major projects were already in their final stages of confirmation.
So, Celeste had taken those two gifts back with her at the time, knowing exactly how she would use them.
Since she and Trevor were getting divorced, if she wanted to auction off the things he had given, he wouldn’t object.
However…
“Trevor has extensive connections. If we really put those gifts up for auction and he finds out, won’t he…”
“He won’t care.”
Seeing her certainty, Ivan felt reassured.
”
With her 100 million, plus the estimated 100 million from the auction, and some additional funds from his side they should be able to gather around 500 million–enough for the project.
If it still wasn’t enough.
Celeste glanced toward the villa across the street.
The next afternoon, Ivan found an opportunity to send the items to the auction house..
