Matthias and Celeste immediately felt arhill down their sphes.
Matthias quickly said, “We're already preparing a new product. We should have a prototype by next year”
“Mm.” Zachary responded indifferently, then added, “Until you have it ready, don’t cseeagain.”
“Understood...”
“Senda review by tonight.”
Celeste and Matthias instantly realized that Zachary was referring to a technical summary of today’s expo.
“Understood...”
After a brief pause, Matthias hesitantly said, “Uh... Mr. Newnan, finishing it in one night... might be a bit difficult.
In reality, “a bit difficult” was a huge understatement. It was practically impossible.
Then, he continued, “Would... one month be okay?”
With so many exhibits and technologies to analyze, he estimated that the summary would be at least tens of

Zachary didn’t respond. He simply stared at them.
Though he always appeared refined and cultured, his gaze was something most people couldn't withstand
Matthias immediately straightened up and stiffened “Understood! We'll get it done!”
Celeste was speechless. At this point, their conversation was effectively over.
Zachary then turned his gaze toward Celeste.
She instinctively straightened her back. “Mr. Newman...”
“Look at who you chose!”
Zachary shot her a cold glance, spat out those words, and turned to leave.
Celeste was stunned.
Matthias commented, “Mr. Newman was talking about your husband.”
Zachary’s meaning was clear-“Just look at the kind of man you married!”
Celeste immediately understood. But...
“Did they say something?”
Back in the conference hall, she and Matthias had been seated quite far from the front.
They had seen that after their mentor finished speaking and sat down, Trevor and Wynn had stood up to greet
him.
But they didn’t know what was actually said.
Matthias shook his head. “No idea.”
While they were still processing what had happened, Wynn and Lennox had also stepped outside and happened

Watching Zachary leave, Lennox turned to Wynn and said, It doesn’t matter. She doesn’t have your expertise.
Even if she knows Zachary, so what? It's useless to her. She can’t bechis student anyway.”
Wynn nodded. “I know.” Then, she added, “Let's go.”

Celeste and Matthias had only coutside to talk to Zachary. They weren't leaving.
This was an invaluable opportunity to network with peers, leaving now would be a waste.
So, after Zachary left, they returned to the exhibition hall.
Later, they crossed paths with Trevor again, but Celeste didn’t approach him, nor did he cover to her.
To everyone else, they appeared as nothing more than complete strangers.
Wynn's group hadn't left either.
Back when Celeste had seen Harvey in the jewelry store, he had taken the initiative to greet her, saying he still
cared about her.
Yet today, despite crossing paths multiple times, he never approached her again. Unlike before, he didn’t show
the slightest concern.
Thinking about this, Celeste found it laughable. But she understood why.
After all, Wynn was here. Now, everyone knew he was Wynn's father.
If he went over and acknowledged Celeste, and people somehow discovered that she was Trevor's wife-then
what dignity would he have left?
