When Celeste returned to the private dining room, the atmosphere had already shifted. Not long after, Jorge also came back, and the meal concluded without further drama. As they left the restaurant, the group split: Jorge headed to his company to prepare documents, while Celeste and Matthias returned to Yoda Vision.
The afternoon sun hung high when, around three o'clock, Beck arrived at Yoda Vision's doorstep – at nearly the same moment Jorge appeared. These two men had dined together before, back during the autonomous vehicle tests at Innova Tech, so there was a certain familiarity between them.
"Mr. Harper, have you confirmed your partnership with Yoda Vision?" Jorge asked, his tone polite but probing.
"Yes. So that means Mr. Robinson is also ready to sign the contract?" Beck replied, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
"That's right."
Beck couldn't hide his astonishment. He remembered clearly how Matthias had rejected Jorge without hesitation at the banquet. What on earth had changed between then and now? Just as he was mulling this over, Celeste and Matthias entered the reception room together.
Matthias didn't particularly care for either Beck or Jorge, but it was obvious that Beck treated Celeste with far more respect than Jorge ever did. So when it came to business discussions, Matthias made a practical decision: Celeste would handle negotiations with Beck, while he dealt with Jorge directly.
Jorge raised no objections, but Beck simply smiled warmly. "I'll be in your hands, Ms. Rodriguez."
"You're too polite, Mr. Harper. This way, please," Celeste replied, leading him into the meeting room.
The hours ticked by as Celeste and Beck's team dove deep into technical discussions. When they finally emerged, the sky had darkened into a blanket of twilight.
"Ms. Rodriguez, would you like to have dinner together?" Beck asked, his tone hopeful.
"I have something to take care of. I'll ask Matthias—"
But before she could finish, Matthias stepped out of his own reception room. "Dinner? Sounds good," he interjected smoothly, then turned to Celeste. "Cel, if you have something to do, go ahead. I'll take care of this."
Celeste nodded, offered Beck a polite farewell, deliberately ignored Jorge's lingering gaze, and turned to leave without a backward glance.
Beck was left speechless.
Matthias looked at Jorge with a knowing smile. "Mr. Harper is treating us to dinner. Mr. Robinson, care to join?"
"I'll join," Jorge replied, his voice flat.

Meanwhile, Celeste made her way back to the Rodriguez residence. Her errand was no casual family visit – she had serious business to discuss with Ivan. Yoda Vision was currently preparing two major projects, each broken into multiple outsourced segments, and Celeste had purposely reserved one of those segments for her uncle.
After hearing her proposal, Ivan's eyes gleamed with temptation. "Would Matthias be okay with this?"
"He won't mind. I've already discussed it with him," Celeste assured him.
"Alright." Ivan nodded, but then hesitated. "But my liquidity is running low. I'm afraid..."
"I have over 100 million," Celeste said calmly. "If that's not enough, we can auction off the two gifts Trevor gave Grandma for her birthday."
During Betty's birthday celebration, two major projects had been in their final stages of confirmation. Celeste had taken those gifts back with her at the time, knowing exactly how she would use them. Since she and Trevor were getting divorced, auctioning off his gifts would hardly raise objections.
But Ivan was still wary. "Trevor has extensive connections. If we really put those gifts up for auction and he finds out, won't he..."
"He won't care."
Her certainty was absolute, and Ivan felt reassured. With her 100 million, plus an estimated 100 million from the auction, and some additional funds from his own side, they should be able to gather around 500 million – enough for the project.
If it still wasn't enough...
Celeste's gaze drifted toward the villa across the street, her eyes carrying a secret that only she understood.
The next afternoon, Ivan found an opportunity and quietly sent the items to the auction house.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter masterfully weaves together business maneuvering and personal strategy. I love watching Celeste take charge – she's no longer just reacting to circumstances but actively building her future. The parallel between Beck's genuine respect and Jorge's forced cooperation is striking. And that final hint about the villa across the street? It sends chills down my spine. What is Celeste planning next?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With the gifts now heading to auction, Trevor is bound to find out – and when he does, his reaction could shift the balance of power. Meanwhile, the dinner between Matthias, Jorge, and Beck will surely reveal hidden tensions. I predict a confrontation is brewing, and Celeste's secret glance at that villa suggests she's preparing a move that could shake everyone's assumptions.
