Chapter 439 After her secretary left , Wynn''s mood grew heavier and heavier . Technology was the foundation of apany''s growth . With Velotra''s brilliant performance ahead of them , InnovaTech would need another major technological breakthrough to gain a foothold in the autonomous vehicle market . But achieving a breakthrough in technology was incredibly difficult . So far , she had already invested six to seven hundred million dors into InnovaTech .


    But now that Velotra had disrupted the market , InnovaTech''s future was uncertain .. If she continued to invest and InnovaTech failed to make a breakthrough with real impact , it would be the same as throwing away all the money . Yet , she was unwilling to give up now . So … Should she move forward or retreat ? Thinking of this , she thought of Trevor . But even he couldn''t guarantee whether thepany could achieve à breakthrough in the future , could he ?


    So , even if she asked him , he likely wouldn''t be able to give her a definite answer either . Wynn sat there deep in thought for a long time . It wasn''t until her secretary knocked again that she realized it was already noon . Her secretary asked , " Ms. Locket , would you like me to arrange lunch for you ? " Wynn nced at her phone but said nothing . She was sure Trevor understood the extent of the impact Velotra would have on InnovaTech even more clearly than she did .


    And based on what she knew of him , he probably had already predicted how the attitudes of Leroy and the other potential partner , Steven Watts , had changed toward InnovaTech . Now was exactly the time when she needed him most . But since dinner with Leroy the day before , he hadn''t contacted her at all . Thinking back to how he had looked at Celeste during theunch event - so focused , as if he hadpletely forgotten her existence - her heart clenched painfully .


    So maybe he , like her , had yet to recover from the shock brought by Celeste''s dazzling performance at theunch . Celeste had been busy for most of the day . At around five in the evening , her phone rang . It was a call from Jordyn . She nced at the screen and answered , " Jo , what''s the matter ? " '' Mom , our school is going on summer break soon . There''s a parent - teacher meeting tomorrow . Can you attend it ? " Celeste paused .


    She hadn''t been involved in these matters in a long time . " It''s summer break already ? " " Yeah ! " Regaining her focus , Celeste asked calmly , " Is your dad not avable ? " With the fallout from Velotra''sunch , Wynn was likely swamped so maybe Trevor didn''t have time to attend the meeting ? " Dad is free , " Jordyn pouted . " But I want you toe with me . Mom , can youe tomorrow morning ? Please ? " Celeste replied , " Alright . " Jordyn cheered happily , " Yay !


    " " I still have things to do , so let''s talkter . See you tomorrow . " " Okay ! See you tomorrow , Mom ! " The next day , Celeste drove to Jordyn''s school in the morning . When Jordyn saw her , she ran into her arms and shouted , " Mom ! " Celeste patted her head and held her hand as they walked into the school together . Tilda and Donna were both surprised to see Celeste personally attending the meeting .


    After all , ever since thest parent - child event , it was usually Trevor who came with Jordyn . Donna greeted her , " Hello , Ms. Rodriguez . Long time no see . " " Long time no see , " Celeste replied . After the greeting , Donna began chatting with Celeste about Jordyn''s performance at school recently . From the teacher''s words , Celeste learned that Jordyn had been quite happy both at home and at school , which meant Trevor had indeed been attentive to her .


    During the parent - teacher meeting , Jordyn held Celeste''s hand and said sweetly , " Mom , it''s been so long since we had a meal together outside . Can we go out for lunch after this ? " Celeste agreed , " Sure . " However , after the meeting ended , when Celeste was walking out of the school holding Jordyn''s hand , she saw Trevor stepping out of his car . Jordyn didn''t look surprised at all . Instead , she happily said , " Dad , you''re here !
