There was a slight shift in Beck's expression. He glanced at Celeste. Matthias didn't notice that Beck was staring at Celeste. He was getting into the mood. Dramatically, he bent at the waist and offered his hand like a true gentleman. "May I have the honor of a dance with you, the beautiful and charming Ms. Rodriguez?"Celeste knew how to dance as well. She chuckled at Matthias's enthusiasm and said, "I'd be delighted. In fact, it's my pleasure."Then, she placed her hand in his. With her hand in his, Matthias led her onto the dance floor. Upon seeing that, Beck offered his hand politely to the woman before him. As Celeste and Matthias stepped onto the dance floor, their eyes fell on Trevor and Wynn. They were about to dance too, and they just happened to look in Celeste and Matthias' direction. When Celeste was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of Trevor smiling at her. She frowned. Then, she realized it was just a fleeting misperception. Trevor was smi

"Celeste?" Caleb paused for a brief moment and continued, "As in… celestial?""Yup."The name suited her a lot, but Caleb didn't say it aloud. Jorge, Miles, Beck, Wynn, and Trevor all noticed what was happening. Switching partners on the dance floor was nothing unusual. But Celeste and Caleb?Visually speaking, they looked incredible together. Jorge furrowed his brows.And Beck stilled for a second. His partner looked at him and asked, "Mr. Harper?"Beck averted his gaze. "I'm sorry.""It's fine."There was indeed nothing unusual about swapping partners on the dance floor. To him, even swapping partners with Trevor was fine. But Celeste…It was Wynn's first time seeing Caleb tonight. Jorge had stopped by to say hello, but Caleb hadn't come with him. Hence, she had no idea about Caleb's background. But from the way Jorge and Xavier treated Caleb, she knew his status had to be at least equal to Jorge's.Wynn frowned as she watched Celeste dance with Caleb, he

Realizing what had just happened, Celeste's immediate response was to push Trevor away."Relax," Trevor said casually. As if he had expected her reaction, he gripped a little firmer on her waist. "You!"She couldn't pull away, and she wasn't about attracting unwanted attention. People didn't do things without a reason. She figured he must have something to say, which was why he pulled this switch. Hence, she stopped struggling. In a cold voice, she asked, "What do you want to tell me?"Trevor glanced down at her cool expression but didn't seem bothered. Then, he asked in a relaxed tone, "When are you going to pick up Jo's calls?""Some time later."Trevor smiled. "Which is like, around ten days then?"Celeste paused for a brief moment. "Yeah."Even though she and Trevor were getting divorced and she didn't have custody of Jordyn, she still had obligations as Jordyn's mother. Hence, she had decided to carve out one day each month just for Jordyn. In roughly ten days

Celeste was stunned for a moment.Even though Caleb invited her to dance again, she could tell that he didn't mean it romantically. It was just a gesture of apology and friendliness.Seeing his sincerity, Celeste obliged and placed her hand in his. Beck had already got off the dance floor. His expression darkened when he noticed that Celeste and Caleb were back on the dance floor, dancing together. Wynn, too, was a little surprised when she saw how Caleb had invited Celeste for another dance. Trevor saw them as well. He lifted an eyebrow, smirking. As though nothing had happened, he continued his dance with Wynn. Moments later, Trevor received a call. He and Wynn stepped off the dance floor. It just so happened that Miles didn't want to keep dancing either. Hence, Miles and Wynn made their way to Beck, whose gaze had hardly left Celeste. Celeste and Caleb were still dancing. Miles took a sip of his drink, his gaze settling on Celeste. "Caleb seems pretty interes

The pastries Matthias wanted were right over there.Just as Matthias and Celeste were about to head there, someone called them over to talk business. On the other side, after greeting Wynn, Caleb turned to Beck and Miles. "Hello, Mr. Harper, Mr. Quinton."Beck nodded. Just then, Trevor wrapped up his calls and made his way over. Miles recalled how Caleb and Celeste had spent quite a while on the dance floor. He rubbed his nose and let out a quiet cough. After all, regardless of everything, Celeste was still Trevor's wife. Beck's expression darkened a little as well. Trevor, however, appeared completely unfazed. He took the initiative to greet Caleb when he saw him. "Hello, Mr. Jennings."Caleb nodded. "Hello, Mr. Fleming."Trevor tapped his glass against his, took a sip, and said, "It's been a while, huh?"Caleb gripped his glass lightly. "Yeah, it has been."Miles was at a loss for words. Well, that was a pointless concern. The group of people then started cha

Upon hearing what Celeste had just said, Wynn replied, "I see."With a sharp gaze fixed on Celeste, she added, "In that case, Ms. Rodriguez, will you please tell me what issues my proposal has so I can revise it accordingly?"Celeste immediately realized that she was being challenged on purpose, with the intent to make things difficult for her. Hence, she smiled and responded, "Ms. Locket, any issues with the proposal are yours to resolve. Do you think it's appropriate for us to pinpoint the issues for you? Let me remind you that we're not obligated to work with you. By asking that sort of question, are you implying that you want to collaborate with us but you have no clear understanding of our company's needs? If that's the case, I'm even more convinced that your team is incapable of meeting our standards."Wynn's words indeed reflected her doubt toward Celeste and her deliberate attempt to put Celeste in a tough spot. She was sure that Celeste wouldn't be able to point out th
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 187
Once she was done discussing Wynn's proposal, Celeste asked, "What about Fleming Group's proposal?"Matthias rubbed his nose lightly. "Well, you know, Trevor is in the same industry as us, so he's pretty tech-savvy." Besides, Fleming Group was financially strong. Their tech experts were highly sought after in the industry. Not to mention that Trevor was an expert himself. Thus, the proposal he sent over wasn't just good—it was on a whole different level. Perhaps that was why he could remain unruffled and only now make his move for a partnership. It didn't really surprise Celeste when she heard that. She said, "Just assess the situation objectively when you make the decision."After all, working with a top-tier team took a lot of worries off the table.Whatever had happened between her and Trevor was insignificant compared to the project. Jorge came to YodaVision in the afternoon.And this time, Matthias didn't go and meet him. Since Jorge didn't manage to see anyo

"That's a relief."Feeling slightly reassured, Beck dropped the subject. After a brief word with Matthias, Celeste left the office.When Celeste arrived at the villa, she entered Jordyn's room to find Trevor working at the desk. Trevor looked up, noticing her. "You're back," he said. Celeste murmured a soft reply. She set aside her bag and went over to Jordyn's bedside. Jordyn was still on an IV. She must have been tired, as she had dozed off with a slight frown. Celeste didn't wake her up. Instead, she turned to Trevor and asked, "Is she okay now?""She was hurting pretty bad when I got home, but it's much better now.""I see."Celeste sank into the couch, book in hand, intending to read while waiting for Jordyn to wake up. Then, Trevor asked, "Have you eaten yet?""No, I haven't."Before Trevor could utter another word, Jordyn woke up. She was very surprised to see Celeste. "Mom? You're back!""Yup."Celeste closed the book she had barely started reading, wal

Melissa likes Celeste? How is that possible?If what Miles said was true, then what she told Melissa yesterday…Thinking 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 they—"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. However…Wynn 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.…Melissa 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 call—she 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?"

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 about—probably 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
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 356
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.…Jorge 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
