The Scent of 344
Chapter 344
Celeste made stin the afternoon and filled Matthias in about what had happened. “You'll have to shift
the focus of the conflict for this.”
He paused briefly before he caught on to what she was hinting at. Grinning, he said, “Okay. | know what | have to
do.”
Shortly after, Matthias received a call from Wynn. He answered it casually and heard her voice over the phone.
“Mr. Yoder, | wonder if you're aware of the morning incident.”
He chuckled and said, “Ms. Locket, are you referring to the moment when your family ignored the truth and
accused my staff of being incompetent? If | got it right, they also slandered my staff for not being committed to
fulfilling the terms of our agreement.”
Wynn responded, “I'm sorry, Mr. Yoder. Linda is in the wrong this time. | will...”
Matthias interrupted her and said, “Furthermore, it was made known tothat my staff told you about what
happened and defended my company, but you accused her of blowing the incident out of proportion. Did
something like that actually go down, | wonder?

“Ms. Locket, what are you going to do about this?”
Wynn responded, “Mr. Yoder, we are in the wrong this time. | give you my word that | will keep a close eye on
Linda. This won't happen...”
Matthias suddenly chuckled and said, “Ms. Locket, I'm afraid this isn’t just about Linda. After you learned about
the whole incident, you still believed that my staff was blowing it out of proportion when all she did was defend
my company.
“It’s clear that you also thought that my staff was incompetent and not fully committed to carrying out their
tasks.
“Ms. Locket, what you did is slander and defYodaVision Co. We're in a collaboration, and yet you can’t even
show us respect, which was the bare minimum.
“I'm sorry, but | can’t keep collaborating with someone like you. | hope you will compensate for the damage
you've caused to my company’s reputation and terminate the contract as soon as possible.”
Wynn's expression shifted when she heard what Matthias said. She had always thought that this was an
insignificant incident and that nothing would cof it. At most, Matthias would want to make things right for
Celeste and stop at that.
The last thing she had expected was for him to look past Linda altogether and escalate the issue to her.
Wynn said, “Mr. Yoder, this incident really isn't...”
“I have a lot of things | have to do. Here's hoping you will givea satisfactory answer, Ms. Locket.” Matthias
hung up the phone as soon as he was done talking, not giving her a chance to say anything.
Then, he gave Celeste a call and said, “It's done, and I've recorded the phone conversation.”
She responded, “I appreciate your hard work.”
There was a reason Celeste told Wynn to talk to Matthias about the incident. She had guessed that Wynn weld
tone down her attitude and want to resolve the issue when she was dealing with him.
Aside from that, she also knew that Wynn would wrongly assthat Linda was the heart of this issue.

Matthias recounted the incident faithfully on the phone. If Wynn would admit her wrongdoings and apologize to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim in person, it would also mean that she was owning up to the fact that she had ignored the truth and
intentionally defamed her collaborative partner.
With the aurecording in their hands, Celeste and Matthias would have more say in how to proceed with
handling the incident.
He said, “Con. It was very easy, barely an inconvenience.”
At this point, he scoffed and continued, “At the end of the day, Trevor has to shoulder the blfor this incident.
He knew that we had collaborations with InnovaTech.
“Since he owns a lot of companies, he could have given any company to Wynn for all we care. Why did it have to
be InnovaTech? Why couldn’t he have picked another company?”
Trevor had never taken into consideration what kind of situation he was putting Celeste in, or how she was
supposed to feel about it when her work involved InnovaTech in the future.
She knew what Matthias meant, but she maintained a poker face and said nothing.
