The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 407

On Thursday night, Celeste and Matthias, who had just returned from a business trip, attended a banquet together.

As soon as they arrived, she spotted Wynn and Linda.

They had noticed her too.

The moment Linda saw her, her expression soured. She snorted and muttered to Wynn, "Why is she everywhere?"

Celeste paid them no attention. After she and Matthias chatted briefly with the host of the banquet, she saw Kieran approaching them.

Kieran had gotten an invitation after learning she would be attending the event.

That evening, Celeste wore a sleek, form-fitting black gown with a simple cut, paired with her long, straight, dark hair.

Not only did she look cool and composed, but she also carried an air of mystery. She was stunning and eye-catching.

It seemed that every time he saw her at a banquet, she managed to impress him all over again.

He had been at the previous two events as well, so Celeste wasn't surprised to see him this time. She simply said, "You're here too?"

Kieran quickly masked the amazement in his eyes and replied, "Yeah."

It was said that Dane Tanner would also be attending tonight's banquet. He was a good friend of Cayden's. The two were equally well-known for their contributions to AI.

During her PhD studies, Wynn had met Dane twice.

They weren't close, but they knew each other.

Upon hearing that Dane was present, Wynn approached to greet him. "Mr. Tanner, long time no see."

Dane gave her a small nod.

Seeing that he still remembered her, Wynn smiled and wanted to continue the conversation.

However, Dane, clearly uninterested, turned his head before she could say anything and asked his assistant, "Well? Are Rodriguez and Yoder here yet?"

Meanwhile, Dane had reached Celeste and immediately introduced himself. He said, "I've read your paper multiple times—it's absolutely fascinating."

After shaking hands, Celeste replied, "Mr. Tanner, you flatter me."

Her paper had only been published a few days ago, but organizers from several top international AI conferences had already sent her invitations, hoping she would attend.

Celeste, however, had politely declined them all.

Since she wouldn't travel abroad, Dane had decided to fly in himself to meet her.

Now that he finally saw her, he launched enthusiastically into conversation. He started with her paper, then quickly expanded into other AI-related topics.

Whether it was the history of AI or trends in its development, Celeste responded with calm fluency.

When Dane mentioned who had published which paper in what year and on which topic, she could immediately follow up by highlighting the brilliance of that work and naturally referencing two or three related papers.

She extracted the core ideas and engaged Dane in a deep and informed discussion.
