Chapter 37
Everyone was amazed to see Celeste. One employee eagerly asked, “Mr. Yoder, is this lovely lady really our new
colleague?”
“You're well-informed.” Matthias smiled.
Then, he continued, “Allowto introduce her to you. This is Celeste Rodriguez, our company’s...”
Before he could complete his words, Quentin abruptly interrupted him. “Mr. Yoder, did you fire Wynn because of
her?”
After a brief pause, Matthias nodded. “Yes. I'll explain it to you...”
Before Matthias finished, Quentin glanced at Celeste and said, “Wynn just earned her doctorate from a top-ten
university at only 25. Ms. Rodriguez, if you could kick her out to join YodaVision, your resmust be even more
impressive, right?”

Moments ago, Wynn mentioned that Matthias didn’t hire her for personal reasons, but she didn’t specify what
they were. Moreover, Quentin witnessed Celeste and Matthias hugging. Hence, he assumed they had a close
relationship, believing Celeste got into YodaVision through connections.
Despite the abundance of talent within their company, few could match Wynn's impressive resume. It was not
just within their organization, but on a national scale. He doubted that Celeste’s credentials could surpass
Wynn's
outstanding qualifications.
With that in mind, before Celeste had a chance to respond, he mocked her again. “Ms. Rodriguez, you look too
young to even have completed your doctorate.”
Matthias intended to have a private conversation with Quentin later about why Wynn was not hired. The matter
was sensitive, particularly due to the ongoing feud between Celeste and Wynn, making it inappropriate for a
public discussion. Yet, he was caught off guard when Quentin unexpectedly confronted them.
He frowned. “Quentin...”
However, Quentin believed that Matthias was attempting to defend Celeste, so he interjected loudly, “Mr. Yoder,
I'm talking to Ms. Rodriguez.”
He stared at Celeste and asked, “Is it hard for you to discuss your education? Why does Mr. Yoder speak for you?
Are you struggling to pass your doctoral exam, or is your university unranked, making it hard for you to mention
it?”
Celeste answered effortlessly, maintaining her composure. ‘It’s true that | haven't yet passed the doctoral exam,
but...”
Quentin couldn't help but sneer at her words. He was confident in his assumption. After all, not every woman
was as outstanding as Wynn.
He interrupted her with a snort, saying, “But what? What do you want to say? Even if you haven't passed the
doctoral exam, do you think your professional knowledge is as good as ours?
“What makes you think that? Is it just because you're pretty and used to compliments from men? Do you really
believe you have true talent?”
Matthias was furious. “Quentin!”
While reasonable suspicion was understandable, Quentin crossed the line by insulting Celeste to such an extent.
It was only natural for him to feel angry.

Chapter 37
Quentin removed the work badge from around his neck and declared, “I quit.”
“You!” Matthias was taken aback by Quentin's unexpected impulsiveness.
Quentin turned to Matthias and remarked, “Mr. Yoder, | once believed you were someone who truly appreciated
talent and maintained a clear boundary between your public and private life. It appears that | was mistaken
about you.”
After that, he left.
Matthias was frustrated. Watching Quentin walk away, he called out, “Take a moment to calm down. Whenever
you're ready to return, I'll be here...”
