Chapter 58
Matthias and Celeste immediately felt arhill down their sphes.
Matthias quickly said, “We’re already preparing a new product. We should have a prototype by next year”
“Mm.” Zachary responded indifferently, then added, “Until you have it ready, don’t come see me again.”
“Understood…”
“Send me a review by tonight.”
Celeste and Matthias instantly realized that Zachary was referring to a technical summary of today’s expo.
“Understood…‘
After a brief pause, Matthias hesitantly said, “Uh… Mr. Newnan, finishing it in one night… might be a bit difficult.
In reality, “a bit difficult” was a huge understatement. It was practically impossible.
Then, he continued, “Would… one month be okay?”
With so many exhibits and technologies to analyze, he estimated that the summary would be at least tens of thousands of words; if not, over a hundred thousand. How could they possibly complete it in one night?
Zachary didn’t respond. He simply stared at them.
Though he always appeared refined and cultured, his gaze was something most people couldn’t withstand
Matthias immediately straightened up and stiffened “Understood! We’ll get it done!”
Celeste was speechless. At this point, their conversation was effectively over.
Zachary then turned his gaze toward Celeste.
She instinctively straightened her back. “Mr. Newman…”
“Look at who you chose!”
Zachary shot her a cold glance, spat out those words, and turned to leave.
Celeste was stunned.

Zachary’s meaning was clear-“Just look at the kind of man you married!”
Celeste immediately understood. But…
“Did they say something?”
Back in the conference hall, she and Matthias had been seated quite far from the front.
They had seen that after their mentor finished speaking and sat down, Trevor and Wynn had stood up to greet him.
But they didn’t know what was actually said.
Matthias shook his head. “No idea.”
While they were still processing what had happened, Wynn and Lennox had also stepped outside and happened to

Watching Zachary leave, Lennox turned to Wynn and said, It doesn’t matter. She doesn’t have your expertise. Even if she knows Zachary, so what? It’s useless to her. She can’t become his student anyway.”
Wynn nodded. “I know.” Then, she added, “Let’s go.”
Celeste and Matthias had only come outside to talk to Zachary. They weren’t leaving.
