Trevor let out a silent chuckle and said, "Got it."With that, he turned around and left.By the time he went back downstairs, Miles and the others were already eating. Seeing him return alone, they were all a bit surprised.Like Jordyn, they had assumed that since Trevor personally went to invite her, Celeste would never refuse.Beck asked, "She's not coming down?"Trevor replied, "No."Then, he turned to the staff assisting them and instructed, "Prepare a portion of the barbecue, grilled chicken, and stew. Then, send it upstairs to the missus."Wynn pressed her lips together at his words.Celeste refusing to come down and Trevor arranging for food to be sent up to her didn't necessarily mean anything.But, she didn't like hearing him refer to Celeste as the missus. It sounded like he was acknowledging Celeste as his wife.However, she soon reasoned that the staff at the retreat probably didn't even know Celeste's name. If he didn't refer to her as the missus, how would they

Due to the angle and height of the camera, the others in the video conference could only see that the person walking in from outside had a great physique and carried himself with an elegant and composed demeanor.Just from his presence alone, they could tell he wasn't an ordinary person. But they couldn't see his face.At first, people in the company assumed there was something going on between Celeste and Matthias.It wasn't until later that they found out Celeste was already married and had a child who was quite grown up.However, Celeste rarely spoke about her personal life. When it came to her husband, the team knew almost nothing.Because Celeste was stunningly beautiful, and the more they worked with her, the more they realized she was far more capable than they had initially thought—even more impressive than Matthias—everyone became quite curious.What kind of man could marry such a gorgeous, intelligent, and capable woman?Now, Celeste's husband had finally made an appea

Celeste assumed Trevor wouldn't be coming back.She intended to close the door before heading into the bathroom. However, just as she walked over, she ran right into Trevor, who had turned back.She froze and stepped aside.She thought he had just come back to grab something—after all, his luggage was still in the room.But when Trevor entered the room, he casually shut the door behind him. From the looks of it, he had no intention of leaving tonight.Celeste was caught off guard.Before she could say anything, Trevor walked past her and headed further inside.As he passed, Celeste keenly caught the lingering scent of Wynn's perfume on him. And there was a faint lipstick mark on the collar of his pajama top.He had just taken a shower and changed into these clothes, so there was no need to guess—Wynn's perfume and the lipstick mark had clearly been left on him after they left earlier.The moment she saw him, she had already noticed that his lips seemed a little red. At first,

At that moment, Jordyn noticed Celeste coming out with her suitcase. "Mom?""Mm." Celeste snapped back to reality, closed the door, and said, "I have work to do, so I'm heading back first. You stay here with Dad and have fun."Jordyn quickly nodded. "Okay, I got it, Mom."Celeste dragged her suitcase downstairs. When she reached the ground floor, she ran into Trevor, who was with Wynn.Seeing her leaving with her suitcase, he simply asked, "You're leaving?"Celeste replied coolly, "Mm.""Did you call a car?""I did."He didn't try to stop her and only said, "Alright."Celeste then walked out with her suitcase, got into the car, and left.…Miles woke up later than usual that day.When he came downstairs for lunch with Trevor and the others, he said, "Trevor, why don't you go upstairs and invite her down?"Of course, he was referring to Celeste.Trevor said indifferently, "No need. She has already left."Miles raised an eyebrow. "She left?"Beck also paused for a moment.

Although Ivan had lowered his voice and avoided Betty when handing over the invitation, Celeste understood everything perfectly.She replied, "I know."Betty and Martha were close friends. By right, Martha would attend Betty's birthday celebration.However, since Martha was older than Betty, according to their customs, elderly guests older than the birthday celebrant would not attend.For the past few years, Betty's birthdays had not been grand affairs. It was just a simple family dinner.And in all those years, Trevor had never once attended Betty's birthday. He excused himself by saying he was busy from the beginning.But Celeste knew that even if he had free time—enough to go out and have fun with friends—he still wouldn't show up.Even so, every year as Betty's birthday approached, she would always hold onto a bit of hope and ask him in advance if he was available, if he could accompany her back to the Rodriguez residence to celebrate.But every time, she was met with disap

Celeste lightly covered her nose for a moment before casually letting go and taking a small step back, subtly increasing the distance between them.Trevor didn't seem to notice her small movements. He opened the invitation and glanced at it. "70th birthday?""Mm." This time, she didn't ask if he was free that evening, nor did she plead with him to make time for it. She simply said, "Please tell your parents."It was unclear whether Trevor noticed that she hadn't asked him this time.He glanced at her, then casually set the invitation aside and said, "Got it." With that, he turned and walked into the bathroom.Celeste looked at his back for a moment, then put away the hairdryer and headed to Jordyn's room to help her shower.By the time she finished washing Jordyn's hair, drying it, and getting her ready for bed, nearly an hour had passed.Jordyn clung to her arm and snuggled into her embrace, asking, "Mom, can you sleep with me tonight?"Given the current state of things betwee

Celeste knew that he didn't allow her near his study, so she stayed in the bedroom, reading while waiting for him.It wasn't until nearly 1:00 am that Trevor finally returned to the room.Seeing him come back, Celeste put down her book and looked at him. Trevor noticed and asked indifferently, "Something wrong?"Celeste didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I heard there's a charity auction at Hearthside in two days—"Trevor elegantly removed his tie. Hearing this, he glanced at her and said, "You want an invitation?"Celeste was slightly surprised. "Yes.""Got it." With that, he turned and walked into the walk-in closet. A moment later, he entered the bathroom to take a shower.He agreed so readily that Celeste was a little surprised. But since he said yes, she felt relieved.It was late. So, she set her book aside and laid down on the bed. Before Trevor finished showering, she had already fallen asleep.…Since the auction was the day after tomorrow, Celeste ret
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 110
The next day, after dressing up, Celeste and Lottie headed to the auction.Neither of them dressed particularly extravagantly, but their striking looks still drew plenty of attention when they entered the auction hall.Lottie had attended a few auctions before and was fairly active in their social circle, so many people recognized her. But Celeste was someone they had never seen before.Seeing her attend the auction with Lottie, many people began speculating about which prestigious family she belonged to.Their seats were in the middle-to-back section.They didn't arrive early. Just a few minutes after they sat down, the auction was about to begin.At that moment, a sudden commotion broke out in the front row. Hearing the noise, Celeste and Lottie turned to look.When they saw what was happening, Celeste froze for a second.Lottie whispered, "It's Trevor and Wynn. They're here too." Then she turned to Celeste. "Did you know they'd be attending?"Celeste shook her head. "No."

However, Celeste didn't look up and continued discussing technical matters with the InnovaTech staff.Albert smiled. "Mr. Yoder, do you know Mr. Robinson and Mr. York?"Matthias replied, "Yeah."After all, they were all second- or third-generation elites in Baumond's upper circles, so naturally, they knew each other.It was just that he had taken a different path from them, so they weren't particularly close.After exchanging brief greetings with Matthias, Jorge and Xavier followed Albert to another area to discuss their business.Wynn, however, stayed with Matthias.She had also noticed Celeste, but after just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze, uninterested, and refocused on Matthias."Mr. Yoder, did you just arrive?" she asked.Matthias was highly capable in his own right, and on top of that, he was Zachary's student.Even though she could tell that he held some bias against her because of Celeste and had always been somewhat cold toward her, she still wanted to mai

Maybe because he saw how exhausted they were, Zachary let Matthias and Celeste go home early that night.After a long day, Celeste took a shower as soon as she got home and went to bed early.…There was something that needed their attention at InnovaTech the next day.In the afternoon, Celeste and Matthias found time to make a trip there. As soon as they arrived, they started discussing technical issues.Not long after, Jorge and Xavier walked in, led by InnovaTech staff. Both of them looked surprised to see Celeste.Xavier raised an eyebrow. "She's actually an employee at InnovaTech? What a coincidence."Jorge shrugged. He didn't even really know her, so how would he know if she worked at InnovaTech?Hearing their conversation, one of the InnovaTech staff members said, "Are you talking about Ms. Rodriguez? She's not an employee here. She's a tech specialist from YodaVision, and she's here today to help with some technical issues."Sensing that someone was looking at her, Cel

Wynn was momentarily stunned before she pressed her lips together.This wasn't the answer she'd wanted.Zachary was about to push the door open and leave when Wynn quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Newman, how do you think I should improve?"Zachary paused for a brief moment and replied indifferently, "Do more research. Keep up with the latest developments in the industry."Just as he finished speaking, Trevor returned.Before he could say anything, Zachary stated, "I've done what I needed to do. I'll contact you in a few days.""Alright."With that, Zachary left.Trevor looked at Wynn and noticed her expression wasn't great. "Didn't go well?"Wynn nodded frankly. "He didn't accept me.""What did Mr. Newman say? Tell me about it."Wynn recounted the entire conversation, including Zachary's evaluation and advice."You're definitely capable," Trevor said. "And I think his advice is quite fair."Wynn paused. Lately, she had indeed spent less time diving into professiona

After watching Jordyn and Beck leave, Trevor and Wynn also got into their car and headed to the restaurant.A few minutes after they arrived in their private dining room, Zachary also arrived."Mr. Newman." Seeing Zachary push the door open, Trevor and Wynn both stood up to greet him.Zachary showed no surprise upon seeing Wynn.Wynn politely reintroduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Newman. My name is Wynn Locket. We met before at the technology exhibition—""I know." Zachary's expression remained neutral as he briefly shook her hand.After he had sat down, Wynn took the seat beside him and said, "I greatly admire you. I've always hoped for the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the AI industry face-to-face.""Mm."At that moment, Trevor's phone buzzed. He stood up and said to them, "I need to take a call. You two go ahead and talk."Wynn nodded.After Trevor had stepped out, Wynn picked up the menu and handed it to Zachary. "Mr. Newman, shall we order first and discuss t

It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather.At that moment, Celeste's phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lottie, asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon.Celeste replied via voice message, "I have things to do today, so I won't be going. You go ahead and have fun.""Alright then."In the evening, while Celeste stepped out of Zachary's study to get some water, Lottie sent her another message.This time, it was a few photos. And the people in the photos were none other than Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, Beck, and Shanice.Then, Lottie sent another message: "My friends and I were having such a great time skiing, but then we ran into them. Totally ruined the mood!"Celeste only clicked on one photo. Once she confirmed who was in them, she didn't bother looking at the rest.Seeing Lottie's complaint, she calmly replied with a voice message, "Just enjoy yourselves and ignore them."Lottie qu

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste's hesitation, Beck said, "I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle."Hearing this, Celeste asked, "Are you sure?""I'm sure."Celeste knew Ivan's company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Alright.""Let me know when you're free, and I'll arrange a time to meet.""Alright," Celeste replied.At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, "The night wind is chilly. You should head inside."Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.Beck remained where he was.As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.Only after watching her car disappear into the distance did Beck get into his own car and leave.Betty, Ivan
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 133
Jordyn wrapped her arms around Celeste's neck, burying her small face against it to shield herself from the cold wind.Celeste's clothes were soft and warm, and Jordyn snuggled into her embrace, rubbing her face against her neck with enjoyment.Trevor was always punctual. By the time Celeste carried Jordyn to the parking lot, his car had pulled in.Seeing them, the car stopped right beside Celeste.Even though her dad had arrived, Jordyn didn't get down from Celeste's arms. Instead, she playfully said to Trevor, who had lowered the car window, "Dad, carry me inside."Trevor didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car and took Jordyn from Celeste's arms.Happily, Jordyn swung her legs in the air while nestled in his hold.As Trevor leaned in to take her, Celeste caught a familiar scent—Wynn's perfume.When he had been sitting beside her earlier, he hadn't smelled like this.This meant that after leaving them, he had gone to the Shaw family.Trevor looked at her and said,

Zachary said, "Sure."Trevor nodded and turned to Celeste. "Are you going home tonight?"Celeste had still been going over the conversation between Trevor and Zachary in her head. When he suddenly spoke to her, she paused for a moment before responding, "No."Trevor nodded again. "Got it." Then he stood up and said, "I'll come by later to pick Jo up."That meant he was leaving.Celeste replied coldly, "Got it."Trevor didn't say anything else to her. Instead, he walked over to Betty and said, "Madam Klein, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."Betty didn't stand up, and her tone was equally cold, "Sure. I won't see you off."Trevor didn't seem bothered by her indifference. He turned to Ivan, gave him a slight nod as a form of greeting, and then left the banquet hall.Outside the hotel, Beck had just stepped out of his car when he saw Trevor walking out. His movements stalled for a brief moment.Trevor quickly got into his car and drove off.Beck watched but re

Neither Celeste nor Trevor spoke again.Celeste's younger cousins had rarely seen Trevor before. Now that they were seeing him in person, they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.As someone who had held a position of power for years, Trevor exuded authority effortlessly, even without trying. When he noticed their gazes, he glanced at them briefly.Unable to meet his eyes, they instinctively looked away, not daring to stare any longer.Trevor showed no reaction to this, nor did he make any effort to exchange pleasantries. He simply shifted his gaze away, calm and indifferent.Trevor was the man Celeste loved. She had thrown herself into this love headfirst, and after all these years, she still couldn't escape.Given the way Trevor had treated his own niece for so long, it was impossible for Ivan not to harbor resentment toward him.However, what could he do?The Rodriguez family was powerless against Trevor.Now that Trevor was here, as the host, Ivan had no choice bu
