While Celeste was gathering with Zachary and the others, Narcissa and Wynn were also out socializing.
Narcissa put down her phone after reading the news online and said in a tone full of resentment, “No wonder she’s clinging to Matthias and trying every possible way to stop you from getting close to Matthias and Zachary. 1
“Getting close to Matthias comes with so many benefits.” 4
To be honest, the Lackspur family was quite good. But even so, influential figures like Zachary, Kael, and Rowan were people Narcissa had never had the chance to come into contact with.
Some netizens were saying that just meeting people like Zachary and Kael once in their lifetime or even exchanging a greeting with them would make it feel like an honor that was worth bragging about.
However, in actuality, even Narcissa felt the same way. 2
Celeste’s family background was nowhere near hers. Yet because of Matthias, Celeste had effortlessly gotten acquainted with all these people. 3
Furthermore, according to what the restaurant staff who uploaded the photo had said, Celeste wasn’t just acquainted with them; she was apparently highly favored by them as well.
These were some of the things that Narcissa didn’t say outright. But Wynn understood the unfinished meaning behind her words perfectly well.
Wynn just lowered her eyes and didn’t respond. But her hand that was gripping her glass slowly tightened. *
Because no one knew the truth better than she did. 1
At the same time, Quentin also saw the news online.
Of course, he hadn’t missed the news about Celeste winning some awards a few days earlier.
He had read every single one of Celeste’s published papers and analyzed them one by one. And he had to admit that every paper she wrote was of exceptionally high quality. Each one left him feeling stunned with numbing shock and excitement.
In terms of the content alone, it showed that those awards were absolutely well deserved.
However, Celeste was only an undergraduate. Could she really have started research this profound and advanced after joining YodaVision for only around half a year?
Were those papers really written by her?
Quentin pressed his lips together, staring at Celeste in the photo with Zachary, Kael, and the others. Peopler like them were figures he likely wouldn’t have any chance of meeting in his lifetime.
Looking at this photo, he felt that he and Celeste were already people from completely different worlds
Celeste had now climbed to a height he could never reach, living a life beyond anything he could even imagine.
He could understand it if it had been Matthias. But Celeste…
What right did she have?
The look in Quentin’s eyes turned even colder at that thought

Jorge usually spent very little time online. But Xavier loved surfing the Internet. So, his jaw literally dropped when he saw the trending news of Celeste’s gathering. 1
So, he immediately called Jorge,
“Did you see what’s trending online now? Why aren’t you in the photo? Your dad was having a meal with them? Why didn’t he bring you along?”
Jorge was completely confused. So, he went to check online.
When he saw his father dining with Celeste, Zachary, Kael, Rowan, and Matthias, he froze for a moment too.
“Dang! That’s Zachary, Kael, and Rowan! It’s such a good opportunity to meet the big shots, and you didn’t tag along?”
Jorge replied, “My father didn’t tell me.” 3
Xavier blinked. “Huh? What?”
A moment later, he froze too. “Wait, but Matthias and Celeste both went. Why didn’t your dad bring you?”
Jorge wanted to know the answer too. But before he could say anything, Xavier suddenly blurted out, “Could it be that… They think you’re not outstanding enough?” s
1
Jorge couldn’t answer. He just deadpanned, “You really are a great friend.”
Xavier was clearly joking and laughed out loud. “I was just being curious.” 13
