Celeste lifted her head unintentionally, only to catch the scorn and arrogance in Wynn’s eyes.
The moment their gazes met, Wynn withdrew her eyes. 2
Matthias curled his lip. “She really is full of herself.” 1
Watching the guests eagerly chatting with Wynn and Harvey, all hoping to collaborate with them, Celeste tightened her grip on her glass and lowered her gaze.
Then, she spoke quietly, “She has someone who loves her–someone who gives her all the confidence she needs. Of course, she’s arrogant–that’s normal.”
She paused and then added, “There are a few very capable talents in the Locket family.” 3
Matthias knew that she’d been wanting to take some action against the Locket family lately.
But perhaps she didn’t want him getting too involved so that he wouldn’t be implicated if something went wrong; she never let him ask much.
Now that she had brought it up herself, he realized things weren’t going smoothly. He leaned closer and whispered, “Not going well?”
“Mm.”
She had broken into the Locket Tech’s system several times, but the defenses were clearly far stronger than before.
Even though she had been extremely discreet, the IT experts that Trevor had hired for the Locket family had nearly traced it back to her. 1
It was obvious that Trevor was helping them guard themselves against her.
With his deep pockets and extensive connections, Trevor could funnel endless manpower, resources, and capital into Locket Tech.
So, whether it was through cyberattacks or other methods of sabotage, bringing the Locket family down was proving nearly impossible.
The reason no one in the Fleming family could restrain him was that his empire was simply too vast. 1
Rumor had it that years ago, some analysts had already calculated that his personal wealth surpassed that of the entire Fleming Group.
Though YodaVision had developed well in recent years, compared to Celeste and Matthias’s personal fortunes, they were still on a completely different level from Trevor.
For him, propping up both InnovaTech and Locket Tech at the same time was hardly a challenge
The thought made Matthias’s teeth ache in frustration.
Afraid Celeste might act rashly, he couldn’t help but advise, “Don’t rush it. You will have the chance.”
“I know.”
Neither of them felt like staying longer,
After lingering at the banquet for barely half an hour, they prepare to leave.
When they reached the hotel entrance and were heading toward the parking lot, they spotted Trevor standing not far away with Wynn and Harvey.
Trevor hadn’t even attended the banquet. It was obvious that he had come specifically to pick Wynn up.

At that moment, Trevor, Wynn, and Harvey also noticed them.
Wynn’s expression was cool, while Harvey frowned at the sight of Celeste. Trevor, on the other hand, gave them a polite nod.
But both Celeste and Matthias looked away, deliberately ignoring im.
Their car wasn’t parked far from Trevor’s. And they had guessed right–he really had come just to fetch Wynn. 1
As they reached their car, they saw Trevor and Wynn waving goodbye to Harvey, then getting into the car together and driving
off.
It was late at night, and he was here to pick her up. So, they were probably already living together. 1
Thinking of this, Matthias pursed his lips and muttered, “Get some rest.”
Celeste nodded.
With that, they each got into their own cars and left.
In order to hasten the progress of their project, Celeste, Matthias, and several engineers from YodaVision headed to the airport to meet with people from Fleming Group, preparing to travel to Jorburgh for system testing. 1
But just as they arrived at the airport and joined the group, they saw Trevor and Wynn there too.
