Beck actually knew the location of the bakery.After Celeste left, he didn't go there.Instead, he got into his car, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed a number. "Miles, I'm back. I have another flight to catch later, but I want to visit Wynn at the hospital before I leave. See if Trevor is free. If he's not, come with me."Miles was stunned. "You're back? When did you get back?"Beck ignored his question. "Call Wynn and check if she's available."Miles was about to ask why Beck wasn't calling Trevor or Wynn himself, but after a second thought, he figured Beck must be busy and in a rush.Since he hadn't visited Wynn yet either, he didn't question it further and agreed. However, Trevor wasn't available.After hanging up, Beck bought a bouquet and a basket of fruit before heading to the hospital to meet Miles.โฆInside the hospital room, Wynn smiled and asked, after seeing Beck, "Why did you suddenly come back?"Beck replied coolly, "Had to take care of something."Wynn l

Trevor didn't say much and simply used his phone to call Celeste.Celeste saw the call and directly cut it off.Trevor paused for a moment before saying, "Your mom didn't answer my call either.""She must have been busy, so she didn't see it." Otherwise, there was no way Celeste wouldn't answer Trevor's call."Maybe." Trevor put on his suit jacket, picked up a black coat, and said, "I'm heading out. If you want to go out, have the bodyguards take you.""But I want Mom to go with meโฆ" Even though she didn't like it when Celeste disciplined her, she still wanted her company sometimes.She pouted and asked, "Dad, are you going to the hospital to see Wynn, or are you heading to the office?""I'm stopping by the hospital first, then going to the office." Trevor lightly tapped her forehead. "I'm off. Have fun.""...Oh."She called Celeste two more times but still got no answer. With no other choice, she had the bodyguards and Hannah take her out.But without the person she wanted t

But considering Theodore's position, having access to first-hand information and giving his own people an advantage was only natural.That was just how things worked in high society. Matthias was used to it.He gritted his teeth and said, "Our company does need partners to expand the project, but I just can't stand Jorgeโฆ"Celeste knew he was upset because Jorge liked Wynn. But she didn't care.She remained calm. "The priority is making sure the project runs smoothly and maximizing our benefits. Everything else is secondary."She had met Theodore once. He might have his own agenda, but judging by how Zachary treated him, he was someone trustworthy.Matthias sighed. "I know." He was just venting.Then, with a smirk, he said, "Anyway, there's still time before we officially start seeking investors. I'll keep him hanging for a while."Celeste chuckled. "Alright." As long as he was happy.After Jorge's call, Celeste and Matthias went back to business. But half an hour later, his p

At the restaurant, seeing the Locket and Shaw families approaching, Celeste remained expressionless.Matthias, on the other hand, muttered under his breath, "What a small world."The Locket and Shaw families were delighted to see Matthias.Harvey greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Yoder, we meet again."Matthias responded with a faint smile, "Yes."Harvey suggested, "Since we've run into each other, why don't we dine together?"Earlier on the phone, Harvey had already wanted to invite Matthias for a meal. Now that they'd met by chance, he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.Matthias replied, "No need. This is my personal time. Maybe next time.""Wellโฆ Alright, next time then." Since Matthias had declined, Harvey couldn't insist.Matthias nodded and said to Celeste, "Let's go."Celeste nodded as well. Without sparing the Locket and Shaw families another glance, she followed him upstairs.Watching them leave, Lennox frowned. "Wynn told me that Matthias has always kept h

There were a lot of things going on in YodaVision.That evening, after dinner, Celeste and Matthias returned to YodaVision to work.On Wednesday morning, while they were in a meeting, Matthias' secretary walked in and informed him that Beck was there.He didn't even need to think to know why Beck had shown up unannounced.Given Beck's status, it wouldn't be appropriate to ignore him since he was already there.Matthias had no choice but to say to Celeste, "You continue with the meeting. I'll go see him.""Alright."When Matthias arrived, Beck was already seated in the reception room.Seeing that Matthias had come alone, Beck's deep eyes flickered slightly. He stood up and took the initiative to shake hands. "I came unannouncedโhope you don't mind, Mr. Yoder."Matthias had no choice but to say, "Mr. Harper, you're too polite."Once seated, Beck got straight to the point, handing over a document. "This is my offer of cooperation. Do you want to take a look?"Matthias took it a

Jordyn nodded. "Okay." As long as she didn't have to go out alone, that was fine.Trevor made a call to Beck, asking him to take care of Jordyn on Saturday.Beck agreed. "Sure."On Saturday, Beck took Jordyn and Shanice to Happy Valley.The amusement park had a variety of attractions. But no matter what ride it was, Jordyn didn't seem very interested. Unlike before, she wasn't having as much fun.She looked a bit preoccupied.Beck handed the ice cream cones he had bought to both her and Shanice.Looking at her face, which bore some resemblance to Celeste's, he asked, "Jo, are you feeling down today?"Sitting on a swing, Jordyn licked her ice cream in small bites and softly said, "I miss my mom a little."Back when they were abroad, sometimes she wouldn't see her mom for two to three months. But she would call her every day and chat with her.Lately, her mom had been busy with work, but even when she called every few days, her mom would always answer and even rush home to cook
The Breaking Point of Loveย ย ย Chapter 176
Beck did indeed think that way.Trevor took a sip of tea. "Although I have custody, the agreement clearly states that she can see Jordyn anytime she wantsโthere are no restrictions."Beck didn't expect that.At that moment, the two children looked over, so they dropped the topic. Trevor suddenly said, "I heard you've been in contact with YodaVision recently?"Beck paused. "Yeah." Then he asked, "What about you? Not interested?"Trevor replied, "I haven't decided yet. There's still time, and I'm not in a rush."Beck hummed a response.โฆCeleste still hadn't finished her thesis.After spending a day and a half working on it, she went out for dinner with Lottie on Sunday evening. They wandered around for more than two hours before heading home.A quiet, productive, and undisturbed weekend passed just like that.On Monday, Celeste went to work at YodaVision as usual.From that day on, those who had previously called Matthias to discuss potential collaborations with YodaVision

After saying that, Jorge added, "I have other matters to attend to, Ms. Rodriguez. See you next time."Celeste had already sensed that Jorge didn't seem to like her. Even though he remained polite during their meeting in the reception room, she could still pick up on the subtle indifference in his attitude.Business was business. She was simply looking for a suitable partnerโwhat mattered to her was her own interests, not necessarily making friends with him.So, she pretended not to notice his attitude and smiled. "Alright, see you next time."Then she instructed Matthias' secretary, Candice Arden, "Ms. Arden, please see Mr. Robinson out."Jorge left.Downstairs, he spotted a familiar figure. "Ms. Locket?"Yes, Wynn and Harvey had not left.Candice had indeed told them to leave, citing "Mr. Yoder is away on a business trip," but they had chosen to stay.They suspected that it was just an excuseโan attempt to avoid meeting them. So, they had been waiting downstairs, hoping to c

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
