---
The room seemed to hold its breath as the golden spotlight found Celeste on stage. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated victory, and every soul in that grand auditorium felt the weight of it. Standing at the microphone, her gaze swept across the vast audience, but her eyes inevitably settled on one particular figure. Matthias. His presence was her anchor.
With a soft, genuine smile that reached her luminous eyes, Celeste began to speak. "At this moment, there are many things I want to say. Perhaps you feel that they are unnecessary, but the thing I want to say most to you is still thank you." Her voice was steady, but the emotion behind it was undeniable. "Thank you for your support and understanding all this time. Thank you for always putting me first, no matter what happens. Whenever something involved me, you would disregard all interests and doubts, continue to believe in me, and always stand by my side."
As her heartfelt words washed over the audience, the giant screen behind her seamlessly shifted its camera focus. There, looking up at her from the crowd, was Matthias. He was beaming—not with pride for himself, but with a radiant, genuine happiness for her. He applauded fervently, his eyes sparkling with devotion and pride, looking utterly proud to witness her greatness unfold. There was no jealousy, no calculation, just pure joy that the woman he loved was shining so brightly.
The audience erupted in thunderous, enthusiastic applause, a wall of sound that celebrated not just the award, but the beautiful connection between the two people on display. Inside the venue, the glamorous awards ceremony continued without pause, each moment building upon the last in a cascade of prestige and recognition. But outside, in the homes of those who knew Celeste too well, the atmosphere was vastly different—cold, bitter, and thick with the fog of misunderstanding.
Over at the Locket residence, the members of the Locket and Shaw families were initially nonchalant about Celeste's award. To them, it seemed like just another trinket. But as the news began to circulate—videos of Celeste attending that exclusive debate club in the morning, engaging in deep, intellectual discussions with veteran industry titans, and posing for interviews alongside these legends—the reality began to sink in, crashing onto them with the weight of a tidal wave. This award wasn't just a certificate of merit. It was a key to a kingdom they never even knew existed.
One by one, they connected the dots. The powerful figures gathered at that ceremony were the ultimate authorities in the same field as the legendary Zachary. This wasn't just a gathering of the elite; it was a constellation of every leading mind in the domestic AI industry. Most of these people were untouchable, unreachable by money or connections alone. Yet, here was Celeste, not only rubbing shoulders with them but receiving their open praise and admiration. To make matters worse, it was becoming painfully obvious that Zachary was personally grooming her—deliberately placing her on a trajectory to become one of the top figures in the entire industry. This was a journey far grander, deeper, and more profound than any of them had ever imagined. Celeste's future, they realized with a sickening jolt, was a boundless universe of possibilities.
This realization hit Lilian like a physical blow. Her face, once composed, now drained of all color. She sat there, silent and rigid, feeling a constriction in her chest that suffocated any pretense of calm. Unable to bear the sight of Celeste's dazzling image on the screen any longer, Lilian abruptly stood up. Without a word, she retreated from the living room, abandoning the live broadcast and leaving behind the suffocating reminder of Celeste's ascension. Her silence spoke volumes, a quiet confession of the insecurities she had so desperately tried to bury.
Linda, however, refused to bend. Though discomfort flickered in her eyes, she clutched her pride and let out a defiant huff. "Even if Zachary personally wants to get Celeste to that position because of Matthias, does it mean she really has the ability to get there? Hmph, I don't think so."
Ruby, ever the echo of Linda, nodded vigorously, her voice laced with the same venom. "Exactly! Zachary is probably overestimating Celeste's abilities. He probably believes that all those papers Celeste published were written by her, which is why he supports her so much. But in reality... Hmph!" She let the implication hang in the air like a toxic cloud, clinging to their delusion that Celeste's success was merely an illusion crafted by others.
As luck would have it, the atmosphere in the Locket residence shifted with the arrival of guests. Quentin and Narcissa had chosen that very day to visit, and they walked into a parlor thick with resentment. Hearing the sharp, petty comments from Linda and Ruby, Quentin furrowed his brow. Not knowing the full history, he attributed their hostility to the shared belief that Celeste was a bully—a villain who had continuously oppressed poor, innocent Wynn.
And Wynn herself? She was silent. She sat there, a ghost in her own skin, listening to the venom and the denials. She knew, with a painful clarity that gnawed at her bones, that Celeste had stepped onto a path so lofty that Wynn would never, in a thousand lifetimes, be able to follow. She often tried to comfort herself, whispering inner reassurances that the gap didn't matter. Celeste had her own road, and Wynn had hers. Her future might not be worse, right?
But it was a lie. Every time she watched Celeste become more dazzling, more brilliant, more respected, the pit of her stomach would hollow out. She could never truly deceive herself. The difference between them was no longer a matter of comparison; it was an unbridgeable chasm, a canyon of shattered hopes.
Quentin noticed Wynn's depressed mood, misinterpreting the source entirely. He watched her silent suffering and concluded that she was distraught because the girl who had supposedly "oppressed" her was now being worshipped by the world. He imagined Wynn felt the sting of injustice; that she wished, more than anything, that the world could see the "real" Celeste lurking beneath the accolades, just as she did.
But even in her misery, Wynn knew the ugly truth: the world was seeing the real Celeste. And that was the most devastating part of all.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, this chapter was a deliciously painful contrast of light and shadow! I could *feel* the warmth radiating from the screen when Celeste thanked Matthias, and my heart swelled watching him cheer for her. But then, to slice through that beautiful moment with the bitter, envious whispers of Linda, Ruby, and the silent, suffocating misery of Lilian and Wynn? It was masterfully dramatic. The denial of the Locket and Shaw families is almost sad at this point—they are so desperate to pull Celeste down to their level, but she is simply too far above them now. This chapter gives us the triumph Celeste deserves while perfectly setting up the ticking time bomb of Quentin's misunderstanding. The emotional depth and the high-stakes social dynamics make this incredibly satisfying to read.
⭐️⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
With Quentin sitting in the Locket home, misreading Wynn's sadness as the result of Celeste's "bullying," a dangerous fuse has been lit. He is a powerful figure, and his protective instinct over Wynn is often misguided. I predict that in the next chapter, Quentin will take matters into his own hands, possibly confronting Celeste or attempting to "expose" her, which will inevitably backfire spectacularly. When he tries to disparage Celeste, Zachary or Matthias will step in, and the whole false narrative of Celeste's "bullying" will be shattered in front of everyone. This will be a moment of massive humiliation for the Lockets and a revelation for Quentin—one that might dramatically alter his perception of Wynn, Celeste, and his own wife's family.
