The Breaking Point of Loveย ย ย Chapter 162
Trevor didn't lift his eyes from his phone when he replied, "Alright."Hearing his agreement, Celeste felt relieved.Martha was talking to the housekeeper and didn't catch their conversation, but seeing that they actually had something to discuss, she smiled happily.After dinner, Martha had someone bring over Celeste's herbal medicine.Trever had the dining room to take a call.After finishing her medicine, Celeste had just stepped out of the dining room when she heard the sound of a car outside.She paused. "Is he going out?"Martha huffed, annoyed. "Yes, he left in such a hurry. Who knows what he's off to do?"Celeste frowned, suspecting that he had gone to InnovaTech to help Wynn again. But he had promised to have a talk with her later.She hoped he would come back that night. But he didn't.โฆThings had been busy at InnovaTech the past few days.After having breakfast at the Fleming Manor, Celeste and Matthias met at the entrance of InnovaTech. By the time they arrived

Matthias said, "Hurry up and finalize the divorce."Celeste replied, "I know."During lunch, Albert came over and informed them that Wynn was fineโTrevor had already taken her home to rest.Celeste still hadn't finished the herbal medicine that Bill had prepared for her. That evening, after leaving InnovaTech, Celeste returned to the Fleming Manor.But Trevor did not return that night.Celeste pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and called him. But no one answered. She could only put the matter to rest for a while.โฆWhile things were still going on in InnovaTech, Matthias and Celeste couldn't ignore their responsibilities at YodaVision either.The next morning, after handling some matters at YodaVision, they headed back to InnovaTech in the afternoon.By the end of the day, InnovaTech's matters would largely be wrapped up, meaning they wouldn't have to come here often anymore.Thinking about this, Matthias felt relieved and told Celeste, "I'm never coming to InnovaTech ag

Celeste took the document. It was a divorce agreement.The very first clause stated that Trevor would have full custody of Jordyn. The rest detailed the division of assetsโseveral pages listing everything he was giving her.She had been planning to ask him about the progress of their divorce.Now, seeing the agreement, she casually flipped through it without looking too closely, then placed it back on the table and said, "I have no objections."As she spoke, she opened her bag, took out a pen, and prepared to sign.Back when Celeste married Trevor, her methods had been less than honorable.Although neither Trevor nor Miles thought highly of her, they had also seen firsthand how deeply she loved Trevor over the years.Given how much she loved him, Miles had assumed that she wouldn't be able to accept the divorceโthat she'd be heartbroken and refuse to go through with it no matter what.But to his surprise, not only did she readily agree, but she didn't even object to Trevor taki

Miles was really starting to doubt reality.Just then, Martha came up in the elevator and said, "Dinner is ready. Cel has already gone downstairs. Why are you two still sitting here? Come down and eat."Miles snapped back to his senses. "Oh! Got it, coming."Trevor also stood up.Downstairs, Jordyn was happily sitting on the sofa, leaning against Celeste and chatting with her. Celeste just sat beside her, watching and listening attentively.It was a warm and loving mother-daughter moment.But when Miles remembered that Celeste had given up custody of Jordyn without a word, the scene before him suddenly felt incredibly fake.Martha was still unaware of the divorce. She smiled and called out to Celeste and Jordyn, "Cel, Jo, come eat."Celeste and Jordyn responded in unison, "Okay, coming."Jordyn held onto Celeste's fingers, happily leading her toward the dining room.Miles only watched in silence. Since he was already here, he sat down beside Trevor at the dinner table. Meanwh

Martha had also noticed that Celeste was no longer as proactive with Trevor as before.Hearing this, she couldn't help but sigh, giving Trevor a sidelong glance. "It's all your fault!"Celeste had taken the initiative for so long, and he still hadn't responded. Wouldn't she eventually feel disheartened and withdraw?Trevor only smiled faintly without saying a word.Celeste, on the other hand, remained silent as much as possible. Even after hearing this, she simply continued eating, showing no intention of speaking.Before dinner was even finished, Trevor's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, got up, and walked away to answer it.But he returned quickly.After dinner, he told Martha, "I have something to take care of, so I'll be leaving first."Jordyn was sharp enough to guess that the call had likely come from Wynn. She also wanted to go to the hospital to see her, so she said, "Daddy, I want to go too.""Alright."Martha added, "Take Cel with you. Tomorrow is Saturday.

Just now, Matthias had called her to say that he had arranged for a lawyer, and she would be meeting them tomorrow morning.Celeste needed to finalize the divorce as soon as possible.Beck knew she had misunderstood, but he didn't correct her. He simply responded, "Alright."At this point, Celeste assumed he was about to hang up. But when he didn't, she asked in confusion, "Mr. Harper, is there anything else?"Beck could tell that her voice was calmโthere was no trace of the pain, sorrow, or turmoil he had expected. Butโฆ Was that really the case? Or was she just suppressing her emotions?When he remained silent for two or three seconds, Celeste prompted, "Mr. Harper? Are you still there?"He snapped back to reality and replied, "Yes."Celeste asked again, "Is there anything else?" Then, without hesitation, she added, "I have other matters to handle. If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up."Beck had no choice but to say, "Alright."Without further conversation, Celeste e

Miles asked, "Beck? Are you busy?""No."Miles continued, "Ohโฆ Right, you're coming back on Tuesday?"Beck hummed a response. Before Miles could say anything else, Beck took the initiative. "Let's leave it at that.""Alright, let me know when you're back. I'll pick you up so you can come see Wynn."Beck agreed, "Okay."โฆThe next day, after getting up, Celeste went for a run for over half an hour and then came back for breakfast before heading out.By the time she arrived at the law firm, Matthias was already there. Seeing her, he waved.Jason Payne was the lawyer Matthias found for Celeste. As she took a seat, Jason's assistant poured her tea.Then, she handed the divorce agreement to Jason.He took it, and Matthias, being a long-time friend of his, leaned in for a look.The first clause, concerning Jordyn's custody, caught his eye. Seeing that, he glanced up at Celeste.He had seen Jordyn a few times years ago. Back then, Celeste had treated her like the most precious
The Breaking Point of Loveย ย ย Chapter 169
Hearing this, Celeste said calmly, "As long as there are no issues, that's good."With that, she picked up the pen beside her and signed her name without any hesitation.She then turned to Jason and said, "I'll leave the rest of the divorce proceedings in your hands, Mr. Payne."Jason nodded. "I have a meeting in a bit, but this afternoon, I'll contact Mr. Fleming to follow up on the next steps for your divorce.""Alright."It was almost lunchtime. After having a meal with Jason, Celeste and Matthias headed to her place to continue working on her research paper.โฆMeanwhile, at Fleming Group, Trevor had just returned to his office and was about to review some documents when his phone rang.He answered it casually. "Hello, who is this?""Good afternoon, Mr. Fleming. I am Ms. Rodriguez's lawyer, Jason Payne. Ms. Rodriguez has already signed the divorce agreement, and she has entrusted me to handle the remaining proceedings. Do you have time to discuss this now?"Trevor paused f

Melissa likes Celeste? How is that possible?If what Miles said was true, then what she told Melissa yesterdayโฆThinking 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 theyโ"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. HoweverโฆWynn 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.โฆMelissa 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 callโshe 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 Loveย ย ย 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?"

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 aboutโprobably 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.โฆJorge 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
