Chapter 59
Wynn would probably be drowned in public opinion if that happened.
This made it obvious how blatantly biased Harvey was toward Wynn,
Harvey didn’t want to associate with Celeste in its kind of setting, but he couldn’t bear to miss the chance to connect with Matthias.
So, when Celeste went to the restroom, he, Wynn, and Lennox approached Matthias,
Introducing himself, Harvey said, “Mr. Yoder, hello, I’m Havey Locket, father of both Wynn and Celeste. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Matthias politely shook his hand and replied, “So, you’re Mr. Locket. Nice to meet you.”
Harvey glanced at Wynn and continued, “Celeste has a bit of a stubborn personality, and there have been some misunderstandings between her and Wyn. As her father, I’ve always hoped they could get along well, but unfortunately, no matter what I say, Celeste just won’t listen…”
Matthias feigned realization. “Oh, is that so?”
“Yes.” Harvey sighed but then smiled. “Still, I’m very happy that Celeste has the opportunity to know a young -talent like you. As her father, I feel reassured. I heard she has joined your company. Please take good care of her.
I’ll leave her in your hands.”
It sounded like genuine concern for Celeste.
If Harvey hadn’t deliberately waited until Celeste was abser to initiate this conversation…..
If he weren’t so well aware of Celeste’s past and her relationship with Trevor…
Matthias might have actually believed him.
But he didn’t call him out on it. Instead, he smiled and said, “You’re too kind, Mr. Locket. Celeste is very talented. It’s an honor for us at YodaVision to have her.”
Harvey, Wynn, and Lennox all assumed Matthias was just being polite.
With Celeste’s background, what could she possibly contribute to Matthias?
At most, she could do some miscellaneous tasks or basic programming work.
Of course, Harvey didn’t say this out loud.
Wynn pemained silent as well, while Lennox just gave a faint, dismissive smile.
Harvey then added, “Mr. Yoder, I’m sure you’re already aware of Wynn’s background. She’s always been deeply interested in Cuap and is very eager to have the opportunity to work at YodaVision…”
Although Trevor had already arranged for Wynn to meet Zachary soon–ensuring that she would have plenty of opportunities to learn more about Cuap in the future–YodaVision was developing rapidly.
Matthias also came from a prestigious family. Building a good relationship with him wouldn’t hurt.
Who knew? Maybe in the future, they could even collaborate more closely with YodaVision.
Matthias turned to Wynn and said, “I appreciate your interest, Ms. Locket. You’re indeed very talented, and if your were to join YodaVision, I’d be delighted. However, Celeste is my friend…”

Wynn wasn’t determined to work at YodaVision anymore. She just didn’t want to be on bad terms with Matthias
After all, they were likely to become fellow disciples under the same mentor in the future.
Having one more friend was always better than having one more enemy.
Matthias‘ attitude today was noticeably warmer than it had been at the banquet,
