The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 18
Tucker raised his hand as if taking an oath."Today is CC's first race since returning to the country. She's the top female racer in the continent and my idol. I can't miss it! I swear I'll head back right after the race. So don't worry about me and go home.""But—" Celeste began, only to be interrupted by a chorus of excited voices ahead, shouting "CC.""My idol is coming out?" Tucker exclaimed, completely forgetting about Celeste. He joined the crowd in cheering and raised his binoculars to focus on the starting line.Celeste was taken aback by Tucker's fanatical excitement. "Since when were you into racing?"Though they weren't exactly close, she knew he hadn't shown any prior interest in racing."I wasn't into it before, but that's because I hadn't met CC! Do you have any idea how gorgeous and cool she is? You'll get it when you see her, Celeste. I'm telling you, you're going to fall for her too! She's perfect. Everyone loves her!"At that moment, CC made her entrance.Tuck

Even Trevor, typically composed and reserved, wore an expression of admiration and awe. Next to him, Jordyn and Miles leaped from their seats in excitement.The race reached a fever pitch. Tucker reclaimed the binoculars once more, oblivious to the fact that Trevor and his group were also present.As the race paused, Wynn temporarily took the lead.Celeste asked Tucker for the binoculars again.Tucker beamed with delight. "You've fallen for CC too, haven't you? I told you, nobody can resist her!"Celeste smiled faintly without responding.She was thinking of calling Trevor. She wanted to see how he would react but then dismissed the thought as she knew he'd likely decline the call, as he always did.Still, just one last time, she thought.In the end, Celeste dialed Trevor's number and raised the binoculars again. Through them, she watched as Trevor glanced at his phone and unhesitatingly ended the call before refocusing on Wynn.His eyes held only Wynn.Celeste inhaled deeply

So, when Wynn celebrated her birthday, Trevor had Beck and the others help her celebrate. This time, when Wynn had a competition, Beck and the others also came to watch…It was said that Wynn's relationship with Trevor's circle of friends had become very close. They were so close that even when Trevor wasn't around, they would always invite Wynn to any gatherings.Beck and the others had completely accepted her as one of their own. Perhaps because of this, in the past couple of years, when they saw Celeste, they had grown more and more indifferent.In the past, Celeste had wanted to build a good relationship with them. However, they had looked down on her and never gave her a chance.She had her pride, so she didn't force the issue once they had made their stance clear. But whenever they met, and when necessary, she would still greet them politely.Nonetheless, most of the time, she was either ignored or even looked down upon. This time, Celeste didn't intend to speak up. She bypa

When Trevor returned home after celebrating Wynn's victory, it was nearly 1:00 am.Peter noticed Trevor carrying a sleepy Jordyn and asked with concern, "Why were you out so late, Mr. Fleming?"Trevor responded with a hum and offered no further explanation.After settling Jordyn into her room, Trevor returned to his own, turned on the light, and noticed Celeste's absence. He asked Peter, "She didn't come home tonight?""Mrs. Fleming? No, she hasn't."Trevor raised a brow in mild surprise.Celeste had rarely been staying at home the past few days. Frequent nights away were unusual for her. Could something serious have happened with the Rodriguez family?The next morning, Jordyn woke up beaming, still feeling the joy of her time spent with Wynn. Hugging her stuffed doll, she happily made her way to the master bedroom."Mom! Mom!" she called out cheerfully.But the room was empty.The smile on Jordyn's face faltered.Just then, Trevor stepped out of the walk-in closet, already

There was an important meeting in the morning that Trevor would also attend.When Celeste and the others had been seated for more than ten minutes in the conference room, Trevor finally walked in.The moment he appeared, Naomi gasped, and her eyes shone with admiration as she couldn't tear her gaze away from him.When the meeting officially began, she snapped out of her daze and tugged on Celeste's sleeve."Mr. Fleming is really handsome!"Celeste had only glanced up when Trevor entered the room. At Naomi's comment, she merely responded without lifting her head, "Mm."Naomi was surprised by Celeste's apparent lack of interest but quickly reminded herself that Celeste was already married and had a child.Throughout the meeting, Naomi's heart fluttered as she couldn't stop staring at Trevor. She barely heard anything discussed during the meeting.Celeste, on the other hand, was diligently taking notes on her laptop.Once the meeting ended, Trevor left first, and the others slowl

At that moment, Zeke had just arrived in the break room and paused when he overheard Celeste and Naomi's conversation.He and Jacob had always thought that Celeste wouldn't be able to leave the company. They were confident that she would find a way to stay.When Naomi took over Celeste's duties, they expected Celeste to make a move. After all, Naomi was stunning. How could Celeste let her stay so close to Trevor?However, during the past couple of days, Celeste had not only accepted Naomi but also gotten along well with her. Now, she was even willing to teach Naomi how to make the coffee Trevor liked.What on earth was going on?Celeste was oblivious to Zeke's thoughts. She was focused on finishing her work and politely turned down Naomi's offer to go out for dinner that evening.She planned to head home for a quick meal and continue researching AI-related topics.Just as she left the company, her phone rang. It was Jordyn calling."Mom, are you done with work?"Celeste got in
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 24
The others exchanged glances.For years, there had been rumors that Trevor had been married for some time, but no one knew who his wife was. Some even said he was never married at all.The truth remained unclear, and they dared not ask too many questions. Now that Trevor had casually mentioned having a daughter, many were surprised. But most didn't dare to probe.…After dinner, Jordyn continued waiting for Celeste to return home.By 9:00 pm, after taking a shower, Jordyn was still anxiously awaiting. She kept listening for any sounds outside. When she heard a car approaching around 10:00 pm, she rushed downstairs excitedly."Mom—"Her cheerful voice halted when she saw Trevor walking in instead."Dad?"Trevor handed his coat to Peter and noticed the disappointment on Jordyn's face. "What's wrong?""I thought Mom was back..."Trevor wasn't bothered by the typical "kids only care about their mom" sentiment. He paused for a moment and said, "She's not back yet?""Yeah…"He s
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 25
Just then, Trevor's phone rang. Celeste happened to glance over and saw that the incoming call displayed the word "Babe" on the screen.She had convinced herself that she no longer cared, but after loving someone for so many years, it wasn't easy to let go completely.The sight of those two words stung her eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze.Trevor noticed her reaction when he looked up, but without hesitation, he answered the phone right in front of her and spoke in a gentle tone, "Yes?"Jordyn also noticed Trevor's actions.In Jordyn's memory, Trevor only showed this kind of tenderness when speaking to Wynn. For a moment, she forgot that Celeste was there and excitedly asked, "Dad, is that Wynn?"Trevor calmly replied, "Yes."Jordyn wanted to say that she wanted to chat with Wynn too but hesitated, remembering that Celeste didn't like Wynn. She swallowed the words back, her good mood slightly dampened.She furrowed her brow and couldn't help but think, "If only Mom could

It turned out that Matthias was away on business.Wynn was lost in thought when Kieran asked nonchalantly, "Anything else?"She shook her head and asked, "It's been a while since you started working at YodaVision Co. Is everything going well for you?""It's been good," he responded. "If that's all, I'll be heading up then."Then, Kieran turned and left. Wynn frowned slightly as she watched his retreating figure. There was no hesitation in his footsteps. Kieran was upset at her for revealing his whereabouts to the Gibsons. So, he hadn't answered any of her recent phone calls. Then, she ran into him today. When he finally responded to her, she thought he was done being upset at her. However, he was still much colder to her than before. Wynn grinned. He probably just needed more time to calm down. A phone call interrupted her thoughts. It was a number she didn't recognize, and the person said that he was an attorney representing YodaVision Co. He was acting on Matthias' orde

Linda was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that even Trevor couldn't resolve the incident.She said frantically, "I still don't get it. T-This was obviously a trivial matter. Can Celeste and Matthias take us to court and terminate the collaboration just because they couldn't let go of a jibe? S-Surely, something like that is not feasible."Wynn responded, "I got my lawyer to go through and confirm the clauses in the collaboration agreement between InnovaTech and YodaVision Co. The stipulations clearly stated that either party has the right to terminate the collaboration if the other party damages its reputation.""B-But, it doesn't matter if this incident damages their reputation. It's not going to have a big impact on them."Wynn said, "It would barely scratch their reputation. Ordinarily, if something like this happens, we just have to eliminate the impact this matter brought to YodaVision Co., apologize, and give them some gifts as compensation. That would've been eno

"He called me several minutes ago." Celeste said.Matthias snickered. "I knew it. You were the first person he called."Both of them had predicted that Wynn would seek Trevor's help and that he might want to screw with the Rodriguez family for her sake.Meanwhile, Trevor also predicted that they might threaten him to back off with the latest collaboration between Fleming Tech and YodaVision Co. That was why he got in touch with Celeste first. He wanted to see if he could work things out with her. However, she didn't give him a chance to do it. So, he contacted Matthias instead. Matthias dealt with Trevor because he was the official person in charge of YodaVision Co. It was more appropriate for him to have the conversation with the latter. This also led Matthias to see that Trevor intended to set Celeste up for Wynn's sake because Trevor mistakenly thought that she was meek and gullible. The notion filled his heart with rage. At the same time, he was concerned about Celeste a
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 347
On the same afternoon, Celeste received a phone call from Trevor not long after she arrived at YodaVision Co. InnovaTech would suffer a huge loss if they were to terminate the collaboration.When she saw his name on her phone screen, she knew why he had called. So, she didn't answer. He gave her two more calls, but she didn't answer any of them. Then, he dialed Matthias' number instead. Needless to say, Matthias also knew why Trevor was calling him, but he answered it. He went straight to the point and said, "Is this about InnovaTech?"Trevor responded, "Yeah. Mr. Yoder, name your terms.""I'm sorry, Mr. Fleming. Ms. Locket crossed a line, and I'm not going to waver this time." Then, Matthias added coldly, "Is there anything else you want to talk about?"Trevor asked, "Is there no way we can turn this around?""No," Matthias said. "My lawyer and I will follow up with this matter closely. I don't want you to pester my company staff. Otherwise, it just tells me that you're the s
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 346
Wynn had the same idea, but the thing was that they started the whole mess to begin with. She had maintained a gentle demeanor around Trevor to this point. If he learned about this incident, she wasn't sure if he would think that she and her family had been picking on Celeste. That, in turn, would affect her image in his heart.Needless to say, Lilian understood Wynn's concerns. She knew better than anyone how important it was to maintain one's image. After all, that was the key to making a man love a woman forever. Erin also understood it. Trevor loved Wynn deeply because she was very special to him. If they handled it carefully, it might not have a lasting effect on Wynn. However, it was still not a good move for her. She glanced at Linda and said nonchalantly, "Linda, you're a grown-up. You really have to mind what you do and say in the future."If they failed to handle this incident with finesse, it might prove to be a fatal blow to their families. "But, I…" Linda trailed
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 345
When Wynn was on the phone with Matthias, she was sitting in a luxurious private room in a restaurant with Lilian, Erin, and the others, waiting for their dishes to be served.Lilian noticed the awful look on Wynn's face after the phone call ended. She asked, "What's the matter? What did Matthias say to you?"Wynn tightened her grip on her phone and responded, "Matthias is terminating the collaboration with us and demanding we compensate YodaVision Co. for damage of reputation.""What?" Lilian gasped, and so did Erin, Linda, and the others. Linda said angrily, "We have apologized properly for this incident. Didn't the bitch say that the whole thing will blow over once you get in touch with Matthias and tell him how sorry we are? "Why is he terminating the contract and demanding some kind of compensation?"Lilian wore an icy expression, but she caught on fast and chimed in, "Celeste did it on purpose."Linda didn't get it, though. "Huh?"Wynn said, "Celeste wanted InnovaTech a

Celeste made some time in the afternoon and filled Matthias in about what had happened. "You'll have to shift the focus of the conflict for this."He paused briefly before he caught on to what she was hinting at. Grinning, he said, "Okay. I know what I have to do."Shortly after, Matthias received a call from Wynn. He answered it casually and heard her voice over the phone. "Mr. Yoder, I wonder if you're aware of the morning incident."He chuckled and said, "Ms. Locket, are you referring to the moment when your family ignored the truth and accused my staff of being incompetent? If I got it right, they also slandered my staff for not being committed to fulfilling the terms of our agreement."Wynn responded, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yoder. Linda is in the wrong this time. I will…"Matthias interrupted her and said, "Furthermore, it was made known to me that my staff told you about what happened and defended my company, but you accused her of blowing the incident out of proportion. Did some
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 343
Lilian and Wynn's expressions shifted slightly when they heard what Celeste said. Normally, they would have made Linda apologize when something like this happened. They would never let the incident get worse and affect their reputation. However, Celeste said that they were free to terminate the contract with YodaVision Co. if they found her and her colleagues to be incompetent. Saying something like that shifted the Lockets and the Shaws' focus to the question of whether she had the power to call the shots for YodaVision Co.They instinctively thought that it didn't matter if Linda was in the wrong. They could still decide if they wanted to apologize to Celeste after they were done arguing with her. However, they didn't expect Celeste to capitalize on their careless mistake and steer the focus off track.Not everyone in the company had a clue about the feud between Celeste and the Lockets and the Shaws, be it YodaVision Co.'s technicians or InnovaTech staff. They were merely on
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 342
If a party breached the contract for no good reason, that party was required to pay compensation as per the stipulations. Celeste wouldn't mind calling off the collaboration with InnovaTech if YodaVision Co. was compensated handsomely. "Why, you!" Linda would love to draft the violation of contract agreement. However, she didn't have the authority to make any decisions for InnovaTech. Even if she could do it on behalf of Wynn, Matthias had YodaVision Co.'s back. She was aware that Wynn and the others in the family wanted to keep an amicable relationship with him. If Linda rashly called the shots and terminated YodaVision Co.'s contract, she would definitely cross Matthias. This alone was enough to make Wynn think twice before agreeing to do it. For that matter, Patricia, Erin, and the others shared the same thoughts. Patricia found it distasteful when she saw how Linda was stumped. In fact, even Lilian's gaze turned colder when she looked at Celeste. None of them thought Celest
