Chapter 374

A few days after attending the International Artificial Intelligence Conference, Celeste went to a hotel one evening after work to attend Adeline’s nephew’s wedding banquet.

She entered the elevator and just as the doors were about to close, she suddenly heard someone say, “Hold the

door.”

At the same time, a hand reached in to stop the elevator from closing.

When she saw who it was, Celeste’s eyes flickered slightly.

Calvin was also surprised to see her in the elevator.

Though they had only met a few times and their last meeting was two or three months ago, he still remembered her. He gave her a polite nod.

At that moment, Erin appeared at the elevator entrance as well.

She looked slightly surprised when she saw Celeste. But she quickly averted her eyes, entering the elevator as if she didn’t recognize her.

Calvin was about to press the button for their floor, but noticed that the 18th floor had been selected.

Since Celeste was technically an acquaintance, he smiled and turned back, intending to make small talk.

But Celeste clearly saw his intentions, turned her face coldly, and looked away.

Calvin froze for a moment. Seeing how clearly she didn’t want to talk, he said nothing further.

Calvin then affectionately put his arm around Erin’s shoulders. She smiled and patted his hand lightly.

Celeste stood beside them in silence, observing quietly.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 18th floor.

As the doors opened, a wave of noise greeted them from outside.

Following behind Erin and Calvin, Celeste stepped out of the elevator and realized the lobby on the 18th floor was packed with people.

Harvey and Lilian were dressed to the nines, standing beside the reception table and greeting guests who had come to celebrate Erin’s birthday.

That’s right–today was Erin’s 70th birthday.

When Celeste had seen her earlier in the elevator, dressed so elegantly, she had almost immediately remembered. what day it was.

As soon as Erin appeared, someone noticed and called out warmly, “Look, here comes the star of the day!”

Then someone spotted Celeste behind her.

Seeing her striking appearance and poised demeanor, they couldn’t help but brighten up and say, “Madam Locket, is this your granddaughter? No wonder she was able to charm the most outstanding young talent in Baumond.

“She’s so beautiful, and she even looks a little like you did in your youth. You’re truly blessed!”

Celeste wanted to leave immediately, but the crowd was too dense–she couldn’t make her way out just yet.

The Shaw family and Harvey were standing not far away. When they saw Celeste and Erin arrive together, they were visibly surprised.

For a brief moment, they thought Erin had actually invited celeste to her birthday banquet.

But, how could that be possible?

They quickly figured out that Celeste must have been headed to the wedding banquet next door instead.

There was a separate elevator for that venue, but first–time visitors to the hotel often didn’t know the layout and sometimes took the wrong elevator.

It had already happened a few times earlier that evening.

The moment someone said Celeste resembled Erin in her youth, Celeste’s face immediately turned cold, and she was about to respond.

But before she could speak, Erin cut in with a flat tone, “You’ve got the wrong person. She’s not my granddaughter. I don’t know her.”

Just as those words left her mouth, Trevor and Wynn happened to walk out of another elevator.

Someone spotted Wynn and immediately said, “Oh come on, what are you all looking at? This is the real granddaughter.”

Everyone turned their attention to Wynn and Trevor.

Both were exceptionally good–looking, and they looked striking standing together.

Given their respective identities, the surrounding guests quickly began offering praise with bright smiles.

“Wow, no wonder she’s the student of a top scientist–just look at that presence! Ordinary people really can’t compare.”
