The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 383

It really was Celeste?

Even though Jorge, Lilian, and Linda didn't specialize in AI and couldn't fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste's paper was, they did know one thing—Wynn's advisor, Cayden, was a major figure in the AI world.

A world-renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper—personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly—was a huge deal.

On top of that, Rodney's student had just said Celeste's paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad, with top engineers staying up all night to read it.

All of this pointed to one thing: Celeste's paper had real weight. But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste?

Rodney, not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws, hadn't read the paper yet.

Still, just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long-text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited.

He immediately turned to Matthias and asked, "This engineer named Celeste Rodriguez—is she here today?"

"She is," Matthias said with a smile. He turned toward Celeste and added, "This is Celeste Rodriguez."

Celeste had been extremely low-key the whole time—whether during the Fleming Group meeting earlier or now—quiet and unassuming.

But her looks made her hard to ignore. Even those who didn't know her had taken notice of her just because she was so striking.

What no one had imagined was that she was this capable.

When it sank in that she was the one behind the paper causing such a commotion in the AI world, Rodney stood up in surprise and walked over to her, offering a handshake and greeting her politely.

"Hello, Ms. Rodriguez. I'm Rodney Milford from Yardley University. My research over the years has focused on fundamental AI theory and applied development. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Celeste also stood and shook his hand, replying, "Hello, Professor Milford. You're too kind. It's an honor to meet you."

Rodney's humility and courtesy were evident—so much so that anyone watching might've assumed he was the junior and Celeste the senior.

Linda, watching this scene, felt a flare of resentment.

Wasn't it just one paper? Was all this really necessary?

Lilian also frowned.

At that moment, Matthias turned to Wynn with a smile and said, "Ms. Locket, you mentioned earlier that you'd be studying this paper closely.

"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to Cel for guidance."

Wynn pressed her lips tightly together.

Rodney, a well-known professor at one of the top universities in the country, was already showing this much respect to Celeste, and now, Matthias was suggesting that Wynn should go to Celeste for help?

Linda couldn't take it anymore.

She slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "You're being—"

"He said your paper is full of brilliant insights, and he hopes to have a deep conversation with you."

Celeste replied, "I won't have time either. Please help me decline on my behalf."

"Understood."

At this, Jorge and Linda's expressions shifted.

Cayden wasn't just praising Celeste's paper—he was willing to fly over just to talk to her? Could the paper really be that impressive?

Wynn understood better than any of them just how influential Cayden was in the AI world.

So, when she heard that her advisor was eagerly requesting a meeting with Celeste, her face turned even darker than the others'.

Miles, meanwhile, didn't know who Cayden was—or what his name meant in the AI field. But he could check the trending topics online.

Seeing how everyone in the private room was talking about the paper, he pulled out his phone and curiously looked it up.

And what he found shocked him—the news about Celeste's paper had already climbed near the top of the trending topics. The comment section was full of endless praise.

Netizens were saying Celeste and Matthias were breaking Andostan's monopoly in the AI field, pushing Ceravelle into a new frontier, and fundamentally changing the game.

He glanced at Celeste, then leaned over to Trevor and whispered, "Is Celeste that amazing?"
