Just as Celeste was thinking about this, Beck spotted her car and walked toward her.


    Celeste slowly rolled down the window. “Mr. Harper.”


    “Good morning,”


    Celeste nodded. “Moming.” Then she asked, “Did youe here for something, Mr. Harper?”


    In truth, Beck had no particr business here. He had just been thinking about his suspicions from the night


    beforest


    So, he said, “Last Saturday night, 1 saw you with Mr. Yoder and Mr. Newman outside the restaurant.”


    Celeste listened, not yet understanding why he was bringing this up, when she suddenly heard him ask, “You’re also Mr. Newman’s student, aren’t you?”


    She froze, frowning at him. “You-”


    But Beck had already seen the answer in her reaction.


    “So, these two YodaVision projects were also developed under your leadership?”


    Celeste pressed her lips together. “What exactly are you


    “Onest question.” Beck continued, “YodaVision’s CUAP programmingnguage–was that also created by you?”


    He wasn’t a coding expert, but his family’s business involved in rted fields. He knew just how powerful CUAP was. As far as he knew, CUAP had existed since the very inception of YodaVision.


    If this suspicion was also correct, then that meant Celeste had developed such an advanced programmingnguage at just 17 years <b>old</b><b>. </b>


    Yet, even now, Wynn still couldn’t grasp the fundamentals of CUAP.


    It was clear just how extraordinary Celeste was in this field.


    People praised YodaVision’s technology, but the truth was the genius wasn’t Matthias.


    The truly brilliant one was Celeste.


    Celeste said nothing.


    But Beck had already reached his conclusion,


    Even though he had suspected this, having it confirmed still left him utterly shaken.


    Looking at Celeste, memories from the past and recent events shed through his mind. He suddenly realized- he had never truly understood her.


    Celeste pursed her lips before finally speaking. “Did youe <b>all </b>this way just to tell me this?<b>” </b>


    “I was just extremely shocked and wanted confirmation”


    Although he had shown up here this morning, he didn’t actually n to ask her these questions.


    <b>Given </b>their current rtionship, he knew it wasn’t really his ce to pry. But the moment he saw her, the words had just slipped out,


    Even he was surprised at himself.

    Before Celeste could reply, Beck looked at her and said, “Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone.” Celeste paused. She saw the sincerity in his eyes as he spol. But, she didn’t say anything.


    Beck took a step back, putting some distance between the “Go <b>ahead </b>inside. I won’t keep you.” With that, he tumed and left.


    Celeste frowned slightly and then drove into the underground parking lot and headed upstairs.


    For the next ten days, Celeste and Matthias buried themselves in work. Whenever they had a moment to spare, they meticulously studied the materials Zachary had given them.


    They arrived at the office early every morning <b>and </b>often didn’t leave until after midnight.


    Then, one morning, Celeste went to the airport to pick up a business partner.


    After waiting for more than 20 minutes<b>, </b>the person she was expecting finally arrived.
