The Scent of 57

Chapter 57

As soon as people received the news, many rushed toward the front rows.

However, by the time these seated further back managed to squeeze their way forward, Zachary was already surrounded by the prominent figures who had been seated in the front row.

Wynn was also in the front row, but she didn’t attempt to speak with Zachary

Seeing this, Lennox grew anxious and waved her over.

Wynn noticed and walked toward her. “Aunt Lennox.”

She understood what Lennox meant, so before her aunt could even speak, she said, “Mr. Newman is currently surrounded by influential figures. Even if I squeeze in to talk to him, I wouldn’t get much time. Trevor said it’s better to find another opportunity to speak with him privately later.”

“That’s true…” Lennox finally realized she had been too impatient.

The people around Trevor were all top–tier business magnates whom they normally wouldn’t even have the chance to approach. Wanting Wynn to expand her network, Lennox gave her a little push, urging her to go back. But Wynn remained calm and said, “I’ve already met them all ”

Because of Trevor, those business leaders had treated her with courtesy.

Lennox knew how much Trevor valued Wynn. Hearing this she felt reassured and smiled. “That’s good.”

Even so, after chatting briefly with Lennox, Wynn returned to Trevor’s side.

The area was quite crowded, and an ordinary person would have found it difficult to get through. But now, everyone knew she was Trevor’s companion. When they saw her, they automatically stepped aside to make way.

Some of the business executives, having finished their conversations with Zachary, stopped trying to approach him and instead began discussing business matters among themselves,

Noticing Wynn’s return to Trevor’s side, one of them smiled and said warmly, “Ms. Locket is truly talented and beautiful. Trevor has a great eye and is a lucky man.”

These influential figures, despite their high social status, didn’t judge people solely by their family background. Wynn’s credentials were impressive. She was beautiful, composed, and carried herself with grace. Her demeanor was steady and composed, never rash or impulsive.

Overall, she was undeniably an outstanding young woman

So, when they praised her, their words were genuine.

Trevor responded with a faint smile, while Wynn graciously replied, “You flatter me, Mr. Young.”

Their conversation was pleasant, but Zachary’s time was limited. After a while, he told the group he had matters to attend to and needed to leave.

Upon hearing this, no one dared to stop him.

After all, Zachary had strong government connections, and no one would question how important his business might be.

And so, he left.

Meanwhile, Celeste and the teclinical teams from various companies were deeply engaged in discussions.

She and Matthias had never tried to push forward and talk to Zachary like the others. After all, they didn’t need to.

If they wanted to meet Zachary… Well, while it wasn’t exactly easy, it wasn’t difficult either.

Sure enough, shortly after Zachary left, Matthias received message.

He immediately pulled Celeste along and left the hall. They headed outside to the parking lot, where they met Zachary.

He was holding his phone and seemed to be replying to a message. When he noticed them, he raised his head.

Celeste stopped in her tracks, “Mr. Newman…”

Zachary gave a slight nod. “Mm.”

Then, in his usual cold tone, he said, “I saw your exhibit. It was… passable. But-” His gaze swept over them indifferently.

“Three years, and this is all you’ve accomplished?”
