The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 146
After hanging up, Celeste went back to work.After a full mental workout, she was already feeling much better.At that moment, Matthias called. "Wanna hang out?"Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the bar.Matthias came out to meet her and asked, "Want a drink?"Celeste hesitated for a second before saying, "Yeah, a little."Matthias leaned in to take a closer look at her. "Not in a good mood?""I'm much better now."Matthias didn't press further and ordered her a low alcohol cocktail.Celeste held the glass, taking small sips while listening to Matthias chat with his friends. Neither of them noticed that someone upstairs at the bar counter was watching them.Xavier commented, "So, it's her and Matthias."The man next to him followed his gaze. Seeing Celeste, he paused.Xavier noticed and smirked. "Is she your type?"His friend didn't answer but asked, "You know her?""Yeah," Xavier replied. "She's the woman I told you about the other dayâthe one Jorge was into at fir
The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 147
Of course, that was just a joke. There was no way Matthias would actually let Celeste pay.Besides, he was also worried that Zachary might find out he had taken Celeste out drinking at a bar. So, after settling the bill at the counter, he left with her.The next day at noon, Celeste drove to Zachary's villa to pick him up.Once Zachary got in the car, she asked, "Mr. Newman, where are we going?"Zachary gave her an address.Half an hour later, they arrived at a restaurant. A waiter led them to a private dining room.When they pushed the door open, two men were already seated inside. Both were middle-aged men with imposing presences.Seeing them enter, the two men stood up. "You're here."Zachary, as indifferent as ever, introduced them, "Theodore Robinson, Harold Jennings. My student, Celeste Rodriguez."Celeste had seen them in the news before. One held a high-ranking position in the military, while the other was a major figure in politics.But despite their status, their de

After lunch, as soon as Celeste got home, Matthias called.After hearing why Zachary had asked to see her, he said, "Theodore and Harold? Yeah, I know them."Then he added, "By the way, that Jorge is actually Theodore's son. Tsk, with a father that impressive, I really don't get how the son ended up being blind at such a young age."Celeste didn't expect Jorge to be Theodore's son. But it didn't concern her.âĶOn Tuesday, InnovaTech conducted the initial test of its self-driving car.Celeste and Matthias went over to InnovaTech early in the morning. By the time they got there, Jorge, Xavier, and the others had already arrived.When they saw Celeste and Matthias, they glanced over briefly before looking away.Matthias didn't care to acknowledge them either and pulled Celeste along to focus on the test preparations.Seeing that everything was set up, but the test hadn't started yet, Matthias asked, "Why hasn't it begun?"Henry replied, "Mr. Fleming is coming to observe the test

Wynn didn't even spare Celeste a glance. Clearly, Celeste wasn't included in her apology.Jorge wasn't paying attention to Celeste at all, so he naturally didn't notice these details. He simply said, "It was just a few minutes, it's fine.""How generous of you, Mr. Robinson," Matthias stood up, his tone chilly. "Now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more of our time. Let's get started."Trevor maintained his politeness. "That was our mistake, Mr. Yoder. Please, go ahead."Matthias let out a cold huff, grabbed Celeste, and walked out of the meeting room first.Trevor saw how closely Matthias held onto Celeste, but he quickly looked away, showing no reaction, as if he didn't care.However, Beck glanced at them a couple more times.Among the group, Trevor and Wynn were undoubtedly the center of attention.When they arrived at the test track, the staff respectfully reported, "Mr. Fleming, Ms. Locket, everything is ready."The way they acted made it clear they regarded Wynn
The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 150
As they left InnovaTech and got into the car, Matthias was still fuming.Something suddenly occurred to him, and he turned to Celeste. "By the way, who was that woman in the business suit standing behind Wynn? She looked at you strangely. Do you two know each other?"Celeste replied, "Wynn's cousin.""So, it's already bad enough that Trevor brought Wynn into InnovaTech, but he actually took in her family too? At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if InnovaTech changes its name to Locket in a few months."Celeste felt the same way. But she simply hummed a response.Given how much Trevor adored Wynn, she wouldn't even be surprised if he handed InnovaTech over to her entirely. Letting the Shaw family work at InnovaTech was nothing.Matthias decided to stop talking about it before he got even more frustrated.That night, Celeste and Matthias stayed out late, working on replicating the engine specs of Trevor's self-driving car.On the way home, snow began to fall.When they arrived
The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 151
"Okay."Celeste went back to the Rodriguez residence for a meal on Saturday morning. She asked Ivan about the new project.After confirming there were no issues with the new project, Celeste finally felt at ease. At 2:00 pm, she drove to the campsite. Beck and Shanice had just arrived as well when she did. Beck's people were working on pitching the tents and preparing the grill. It had been showing for the past few days. Thus, there was a thick layer of snow stretching across the mountains. The moment she arrived, Shanice tugged at her excitedly, saying she wanted to build a snowman together. Celeste used to build snowmen with Jordyn as well.Hence, it wasn't a complicated task for Celeste.Before long, Celeste and Shanice put together a small snowman. Shanice even prepared a scarf for the snowman. When the snowman was done, she asked the helpers to look for the scarf and carrot for her. Beck walked up to Celeste. Celeste didn't say anything upon seeing him. Bec

The sky was now completely dark, and the mountain air had turned even colder. After hanging up the call, Beck turned around and walked back to their tent. He saw Celeste and Shanice huddled together, sharing food and conversation. Hence, he went into the tent and returned with two warm coatsâone big, one small. He passed the big coat to Celeste. She said, "It's fine, I'm not coldâĶ""Just drape it over your shoulder."Beck unfolded the coat and casually wrapped it around her, then made sure Shanice was bundled up in the small one. Celeste hadn't really felt cold, but with the coat blocking most of the mountain wind, it was undeniably warmer, so she chose not to refuse. They went to the bonfire party after dinner. As they approached, someone blurted out, "Oh my, this little family is almost too good-looking to be real!" Celeste paused for a brief moment and explained, "We're not a family."The group of people chuckled among themselves. They joked that even though the thr

Celeste dozed off for a few minutes in the car. She couldn't rest well. As she opened her eyes and noticed Beck pulling his hand back, she didn't dwell on it and simply asked, "Are we there yet?""Almost."Two minutes later, their car pulled up in front of the hospital. Beck got out of the car with Shanice in his arms. "Do you need someone to send you back?" he asked Celeste.She shook her head. "It's fine. I can drive back."Beck didn't insist. When Celeste almost reached home, her phone rang. It was a text from Trevor. He texted, "Grandma will be visiting your Granny later, and she asked us three to go to the Rodriguez residence together."She had to respond to the text. Hence, she gave Trevor a call. He picked up right away. "Hello?""I'll go and pick Jordyn up now," Celeste said. She didn't think Trevor would want to go back to the Rodriguez residence with her, and that was why she said that. After all, he had been coming up with different kinds of excuses whenever

Melissa likes Celeste? How is that possible?If what Miles said was true, then what she told Melissa yesterdayâĶThinking about how Melissa had left during their conversation yesterday, Wynn's heart sank.Perhaps noticing her change in expression, Trevor, concerned, asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"Wynn snapped back to reality, forcing a smile. "No, I'm fine."Later that day, she informed her family.Upon hearing that Melissa liked Celeste so much, even agreeing to let her be their daughter-in-law, both the Shaw family and the Locket family were in disbelief."Celeste is married with a child, and her family background is ordinary. But Matthias' family is well-off and successful. How could the Yoder family possibly agree to them being together? Did Mr. Quinton misunderstand?""That's right," Linda hurriedly added, "Or maybe that woman hid her past? The Yoder family doesn't know she was married, which is why theyâ"Wynn also couldn't understand why the Yoder family

The next morning, Trevor, Jordyn, and Wynn arrived early at the sports hall for Jordyn's competition.After they had been there for a while, Beck and Shanice arrived as well.Jordyn saw them and greeted, "Mr. Harper, Shanice, you're here."Shanice came over and shook Jordyn's hand. "The competition is about to start. Are you nervous, Jo?"Jordyn was very calm and shook her head. "No, I'm fine."Beck had some business to attend to, and he was just dropping Shanice off.Trevor knew Beck was in a hurry and said, "I'll take care of Shanice. You can go ahead with your things."Beck nodded. "Alright, I'll join you all for lunch later.""Okay."Their relationship seemed to be as good as ever. HoweverâĶWynn listened to their conversation, her gaze shifting between Trevor and Beck. If Trevor knew that Beck had developed feelings for Celeste, would their relationship still be as good as it was now?Beck noticed her gaze and gave her a slight nod. But he didn't speak to her, just turne

After Sebastian and Melissa left, Trevor asked, "Did you finish talking to Mrs. Yoder?"Wynn smiled slightly and nodded.Looking at Melissa's expression earlier, it seemed that she was becoming increasingly displeased with Celeste.âĶMelissa had actually known about the issues between InnovaTech and YodaVision long before. Matthias had already informed her in advance.When Melissa was talking to Wynn, she didn't really get a phone callâshe had recorded their conversation.She walked a little further away, glanced at Trevor and Wynn, and then sent the recording to Matthias.Matthias and Celeste had not finished work yet. After listening to the recording, Matthias smiled and went to Celeste's office to inform her of the situation.After hearing the news, Celeste said, "Now I can be sure that we'll definitely win the lawsuit.""Exactly."Their insistence on suing for contract termination was not only because they really wanted to break the contract with InnovaTech, but also beca

Wynn had thought she would have to wait a few more days for news.However, that afternoon, Trevor called her and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Yoder will be attending an auction tomorrow. Would you like to go?"Wynn smiled and replied, "Sure."The next evening, not long after arriving at the auction, Trevor took Wynn over to greet Sebastian and Melissa. He introduced Wynn to them.Sebastian and Melissa knew about Trevor's relationship with Celeste and were aware of all the conflicts between Celeste and Wynn. However, when they saw Trevor, they didn't let their feelings about Celeste show.They smiled and shook hands with Trevor, greeting him warmly. When Trevor introduced Wynn, Melissa also smiled and politely shook Wynn's hand, saying, "Hello."The auction was filled with the elites from high society.After some casual conversation, Trevor and Sebastian, along with others, began discussing business matters.At this moment, Wynn saw an opportunity and started chatting with Melissa alone.

Caleb was still thinking about it when Jorge asked him again, "Caleb, besides your father and my old man, do you know anyone else who has Zachary's contact info?"Caleb replied, "No one else."Then, as if something occurred to him, he added, "But didn't you say Ms. Locket had met Zachary before? I imagine she should have his contact. "If talking to Mr. Newman could resolve things, wouldn't she have already reached out to him herself?"Jorge said, "I thought about that too. But since she's directly involved, unless absolutely necessary, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to contact Mr. Newman just to complain about Matthias, right?"He was actually being pretty considerate. Seems like he liked Wynn more than he realized.Jorge said, "Forget it, I'll try asking some other people.""Alright."The fact that Celeste was also one of Zachary's students hadn't been made public meant that it was to remain confidential. Since that was the case, it wasn't his place to share it with Jorge
The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 359
Theodore refused to help, so Jorge immediately decided to contact Zachary himself.However, he didn't have Zachary's contact information.He messaged Theodore asking for Zachary's number, and Theodore simply replied with a single word. "Nope."Before he could even react, Theodore sent another message. "I've already spoken to Harold too. Don't waste your time."Seeing that, Jorge was genuinely a little angry.But when he tried calling Theodore again, the call went unanswered.Since Theodore and Harold were both at a dead end, he thought of Caleb.He remembered Caleb had mentioned before that he had some work-related interactions with Zachary. They'd even had a meal together.With that in mind, Jorge reached out to Caleb.Caleb didn't return his call until the evening. After hearing that Jorge was looking for Zachary's contact info, he said, "I don't have Mr. Newman's number.""You don't? Didn't you have dinner with him and my old man before? You guys didn't exchange contacts?"
The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 358
Before Jorge could finish his sentence, Theodore cut him off. "You're trying to say that he's siding with Celeste again and bullying Ms. Locket, aren't you?"Jorge was surprised that Theodore hit the nail on the head. "Old man, how'd you know? Don't tell me you already know what happened?"Theodore replied, "I don't. I guessed."Back when Celeste and Matthias agreed to work with his foolish son for his sake, it was clear they wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him in the workplace.His son also wasn't the kind to stir up trouble at work for no reason. So, even if they couldn't become friends, their professional relationship should have stayed smooth.If Jorge didn't clash with Matthias or Celeste personally, then the conflict likely involved someone he cared aboutâprobably Wynn.Earlier that year, when he'd met with Kael, Celeste, and the others for dinner, they'd happened to run into Wynn at the restaurant entrance.At the time, seeing how attentive his son was to

Matthias crossed his legs. "Become what exactly? Blinded by lust? Or unable to tell right from wrong?"Both.Of course, Jorge didn't say that out loud.Matthias saw right through him and smiled. "But why do I feel like the one who's blinded and can't tell right from wrong isn't me, but someone else?"Before Jorge could respond, Matthias added, "Also, the student my mentor values most isn't me. It's someone else entirely. Mr. Robinson, you're giving me far too much credit."Jorge didn't expect that, even after bringing up Zachary, Matthias still showed no sign of remorse.But Matthias wasn't about to indulge him. He said directly, "If you can't bear to watch and want to seek justice on behalf of Ms. Locket, then you're free to terminate our contract."Of course, the condition is that you'll have to compensate YodaVision for the corresponding losses."Jorge thought he had approached Matthias politely and reasonably.But Matthias had been hostile from the beginning, and now, in a

Last week, Matthias' lawyer went to InnovaTech to negotiate the contract termination, but the talks fell through. That same day, they filed a lawsuit with the court.When Celeste had that confrontation at InnovaTech with Wynn and the others, Matthias was away on a business trip.Maybe because she couldn't meet Matthias, Wynn hadn't given up on the matter yet.On Monday, when Celeste arrived at work, she saw Wynn again. As before, when the two women saw each other, neither acknowledged the other.When Celeste got to the office, she found that Matthias was already there."You're here early."Matthias shrugged. "I came in over half an hour early just in case someone tried to intercept me."Celeste smiled at that.âĶJorge happened to be in YodaVision that day to discuss something with Matthias. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he spotted Wynn.He had already heard about what happened between YodaVision and InnovaTech last week. So the moment he saw her, he immediately u
