Wynn replied politely, “That’s very kind of you to say.”
Harry then glanced at the group and teased, “Looks like it’s time for you guys to step up, too.”
Just then, Harold arrived with Celeste and Matthias in tow,
He turned to Harry. “Father, meet the youngest Yoder. His company, YodaVision, has seen remarkable growth and is on the government’s priority list for future support.”
He continued, “This is Celeste Rodriguez, the core technical developer at YodaVision and a rare talent in the field. The company owes much of its success to her.”
People of the older generation often had a greater concern for the future of the country.
Hearing Harold’s words, Harry’s smile softened as he remarked, “That’s wonderful. With the talent we have, there’s a lot to look forward to.”
Harold also took the opportunity to introduce Betty to Harry-
Then, Harry and Betty started chatting about art.
Having been raised in a cultured household, Betty regularly practiced calligraphy and painting. While she wasn’t in the same league as Harry, she had a solid grasp of painting and could speak on the subject with real depth.
The conversation between them went on for a long time.
Wynn noticed Harold’s introduction of Celeste mirrored Matthias‘ words from the last banquet. She assumed that Harold admired Matthias and was simply echoing his praise
As Celeste and Betty basked in the Jennings family’s favor, Patricia and the Lockets couldn’t quite hide their discomfort.
Since Patricia and the others had missed the last banquet, they had no idea that Matthias had already spoken highly of Celeste before.
Surprised by Harold’s glowing words, Ruby pulled Wynn aside and lowered her voice. “Is Celeste really that impressive?”
Wynn shrugged and replied, “Nope.”
Then, she repeated exactly what Matthias had said about Celeste at the banquet.
“She only got into YodaVision recently. How could its current success have anything to do with her? But Matthias clearly has a soft spot for her, or he wouldn’t be so willing to share credit.”
“Oh, I see. I really thought she was the real deal.”
Wynn remarked casually, “She’s just an undergrad.”
“Yeah, whether it’s her school, degree, or anything else, she’s nowhere close to your level. The way Mr. Jennings hype her up, you’d think she was even more accomplished than Matthias.”
Lilian’s expression, which had just wavered slightly, quickly returned to its usual icy calm after hearing Wynn’s
comment
Sometime later, Trevor returned.
His eyes flicked toward Celeste and Betty, who had unexpectedly moved to the front, but after a brief look, he

turned away.
Wynn smiled, noticing him. “Call over?”
“Probably more coming in later.”
“Something about the overseas company?”
Trevor nodded.
Seeing them engaged in conversation, Beck averted his gaze and let it settle on Celeste standing nearby.
He realized she wasn’t even looking at Trevor and Wynn all.
It was as if she no longer cared about Trevor,
The Shaws, however, were beaming.
After all, even with all the recognition Celeste and Betty gained from Harry, it wouldn’t do much to improve the Rodriguez family’s standing
There was no way the Jennings would try to set Celeste up with Caleb,
It just didn’t make sense.
