Jordyn had been staying at the Rodriguez residence for the past few days. She showed no intention of leaving, even on the weekends.
Trevor hadn't said anything about coming to pick her up either.
Not long ago, Celeste had submitted another paper to a top-tier international journal. It passed review with ease and was scheduled for official publication early Sunday morning.
But she didn't stay up waiting. She went to bed early on Saturday night.
…
When she woke up the next morning and turned on her phone, it was flooded with missed calls and messages.
Celeste glanced through them and returned Matthias's call first.
He picked up almost immediately. "You're awake."
Celeste hummed a response.
"You probably know why I called. Your latest paper caused quite a stir right after publication. Congratulations," he said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Matthias was genuinely happy for her and had just wanted to congratulate her personally. They didn't chat for long before hanging up.
Celeste then went through the rest of her missed calls and messages, replying one by one.
Soon after, Beck, Kieran, Caleb, Bryson, and others all called her to offer their congratulations to her. Celeste thanked each of them politely.
Then reporters from major media outlets reached out, wanting to interview her. She spent quite some time speaking with them and arranging possible schedules.
It took her more than an hour to finish the arrangements.
Jordyn had woken up earlier than Celeste. When she saw her mother busy with the calls, she quietly stayed out of the way.
Although she had been staying at the Rodriguez residence these past few days, Trevor still called her every day—as he did now.
However, such doubts were in the minority. As Celeste had appeared frequently in public over the past year, her capabilities had gradually earned widespread recognition.
Most people didn't believe that Matthias or Zachary would risk their own reputations and futures for the sake of a woman.
The Lockets and Shaws knew of Celeste's capabilities. But that didn't mean they could accept it.
Their resentment only deepened as they watched her rise higher in the industry while backed by Matthias and Zachary.
"If Wynn had come back earlier and not missed the chance to join YodaVision, everything Celeste has now would've been hers."
"Exactly! Wynn has a much higher starting point than Celeste," Linda chimed in.
And it wasn't just the Lockets and the Shaws having such thoughts. Quentin Yallop, a former employee of YodaVision, had the same thought.
His expression turned extremely unpleasant looking at Celeste's newly published paper.

Is he trying to rudely ask Celeste for help? The audacity of these two families exceeds my expectations....
Trevor, you're damned... I just wanted to say this for no reason....
Are we back to having rage baiting chapter?...
I don't want to raise my hopes regarding this lawsuit. I'm sure the bank (Trevor) will get them out of there....
Let's beat around the bush again...
Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
ok im done im not reading this trash anymore its repetitive celeste finally speaks and its less than 5 words.this isn't good at all and now we're getting the netizens pov but not hers. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION EXCEPT HER AND TREVOR...
I’m not liking where this is headed.. I’m getting the sense that the author is following the revenging husband storyline and Trevor did all this just to avenge his wife...
