The evening was alive with the soft hum of conversation and the clink of crystal glasses. Elegant figures drifted through the room, exchanging pleasantries and business cards, when Nathan approached Celeste and Matthias with a guest in tow.
"Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez, a friend of mine would like to discuss something with the two of you. Do you have a moment?" Nathan said politely, his tone warm but measured.
The man standing beside him was a notable figure in the artificial intelligence industry, someone whose reputation overseas had grown as solid as steel. After excusing themselves from Philip, Celeste and Matthias stepped forward and extended their hands in greeting.
"Nice to meet you," Celeste said with a composed smile, her eyes sharp and professional.
Since the man was also a client of the Lackspur family, Narcissa had no choice but to accompany them. She stood beside Nathan, a silent shadow with a faint, mocking smile curling at the corners of her lips. Her gaze drifted toward Celeste with undisguised disdain, a quiet challenge thrown into the air like a dart.
But Celeste didn’t spare her a glance. Not once. Her focus remained fixed on the conversation at hand, her presence calm and unbothered — exactly the kind of indifference that seemed to infuriate Narcissa even more.
Meanwhile, Kieran had been standing at the edge of the earlier conversation, saying little as Celeste, Matthias, Trevor, and Philip talked. He had observed from a distance, patient and watchful. But now that Celeste and Matthias had stepped away, he noticed something small yet telling: Celeste’s drink was nearly empty.
Even though he saw Narcissa standing nearby, he didn’t hesitate. He called over a waiter, selected a fresh drink that matched Celeste’s preferences perfectly, and walked over to her. Without a word, he handed her the glass and gestured gently for her empty one.
Celeste paused for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing her features before she accepted it. "... Thank you."
Kieran smiled gently, saying nothing. He simply placed her empty glass onto the waiter’s tray, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Narcissa’s eyes narrowed as she watched the exchange. She shifted her gaze to Kieran, studying him with a sharp, calculating look. Kieran noticed her staring, but he said nothing. His attention remained on Celeste, steady and unshakable.
That only made Narcissa’s irritation grow.
She walked over to him, stopping a few steps away from Celeste and her group. Glancing at Celeste — who was now deeply engaged in business conversation with the industry guest — Narcissa let out a derisive laugh.
"She’s already got Matthias wrapped around her finger, and somehow she’s still got you hopelessly hooked. I have to admit, Celeste really knows how to play people."
Kieran flicked her a glance, his voice flat. "Are you done?"
Narcissa smiled, but it was sharp as a blade. "What? Upset because I criticized her?"
She narrowed her eyes at him, stepping closer. "Have you forgotten what she did to Wynn? Have you forgotten why you joined Yoda Vision in the first place?"
She paused, then scoffed. "You’ve changed pretty quickly."
Kieran looked at her in silence.
No, he hadn’t forgotten. He hadn’t forgotten what had happened between Celeste and Wynn. He hadn’t forgotten why he joined Yoda Vision either. But here was the truth that Narcissa couldn’t seem to grasp: it was *because* he remembered that he had gradually begun to notice something about the past that didn’t add up.
People had claimed Celeste was nothing more than an ordinary undergraduate. They whispered that she had squeezed Wynn out of Yoda Vision by having an improper relationship with Matthias. That was the story. That was the rumor. That was what everyone had believed.
But after joining Yoda Vision, Kieran had seen with his own eyes that Celeste and Matthias’s relationship was completely normal. There was nothing inappropriate about it. No secret affair. No scandalous entanglement. Just two brilliant people working side by side, earning trust through competence and respect.
And Kieran? He had only started seriously studying AI because of Wynn. He had improved quickly, driven by the desire to understand the field that had consumed Wynn’s passion. But through that journey, he gained something he hadn’t expected — a clear, unclouded understanding of true capability.
It was exactly because he understood her abilities that, not long after joining Yoda Vision, he realized the truth: Celeste was better than Wynn.
No, that wasn’t quite right. She wasn’t just better than Wynn. She was even more capable than Matthias. That was why most of Yoda Vision’s major decisions were made by Celeste. If anything, it was Matthias who followed Celeste’s lead.
The longer he worked with her, the better he got to know her, the more surprises he discovered — layers of brilliance, quiet strength, and integrity that contradicted every ugly rumor that had been spread about her.
So how could he not know exactly what he was doing? How could he not know what kind of person he had fallen for?
He might not fully understand everything that had happened between Celeste and Wynn. Nor did he know all the details of Celeste’s past. But he knew what kind of person Celeste was. And that knowledge was firmer than any accusation, sharper than any doubt.
Narcissa had expected her words to make Kieran question himself. At the very least, she thought he’d hesitate. She thought that mentioning Wynn’s name would crack his resolve or plant a seed of suspicion.
Instead, his gaze remained unwavering.
She laughed in exasperation, shaking her head. "What on earth did she do to you?"
Then her smile turned into a sneer. "Has she cast a spell over you?"
But Kieran said nothing. He didn’t need to defend himself. He didn’t need to explain the quiet certainty in his heart. He simply stood there, his loyalty and his judgment intact, letting the silence speak louder than any argument Narcissa could throw at him.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a beautifully tense chapter! There is so much power in the unspoken here. Kieran’s quiet, unwavering defense of Celeste is deeply moving, especially when faced with Narcissa’s sharp-tongued mockery. Instead of reacting with anger or doubt, Kieran simply *knows* — and that kind of steady conviction is rare and refreshing. His internal realization that Celeste isn’t just talented but even more capable than Matthias adds a wonderful layer of depth to his character and to the story’s understanding of Celeste’s true worth. Narcissa, on the other hand, remains as sharp and disdainful as ever, but her attempts to manipulate Kieran fall completely flat, which is deeply satisfying to read. This chapter may be quieter in action, but it is a masterclass in emotional tension and character integrity.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on this chapter’s quiet storm of emotions, I predict that Narcissa won’t let Kieran’s unshakable loyalty go unchallenged. She may attempt to dig deeper into Celeste’s past, or even try to sabotage Celeste’s business dealings behind her back. Meanwhile, Kieran’s growing certainty about Celeste’s character could push him to investigate what really happened between Celeste and Wynn — and this time, he might uncover the truth that everyone tried to bury. Will that truth bring him closer to Celeste, or will it ignite a new conflict involving Matthias? I can’t wait to see!
