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

Celeste was about to wash up after helping Jordyn with her bath and drying her hair. Since her toiletries weren't in Jordyn's room, she went to the master bedroom. The master bedroom was all dim and silent. Trevor wasn't there. She switched on the light and immediately froze, for a second thinking she might have stepped into the wrong room. Having spent seven years in this room, she was intimately familiar with every part of it. Yet, everything in sight felt so foreign to her. Everything about the room was different. Well, almost—at least the floor remained unchanged. The floor was the only thing left untouched. The chandelier, curtains, bed, nightstand, small round table by the window, couch, coffee table, rug—everything had changed. Even the water dispensers and mugs were new. On top of those, the vanity desk she had always used was nowhere to be seen, along with all her bottles and jars.She could tell that every reminder of her had been deliberately removed. The

Celeste went upstairs at around 7:00 am. Jordyn had already woken up. Seeing her return, Jordyn quickly switched away from the WhatsApp conversation. Celeste pretended not to notice it and said casually, "Go wash up and get changed.""Okay!"Celeste packed up her things and was about to head downstairs when she saw Hannah gathering her pajamas from last night to wash. Thus, she said, "There's no need to wash them, Hannah. You can just throw them away."The other stuff as well, though. Please throw them away for me; I won't be needing them anymore."Her divorce with Trevor should be finalized soon. Going forward, even if she was meeting Jordyn, she wouldn't set foot here again, let alone stay the night. These belongings were no longer needed, nor did she wish to keep them. There had always been issues between Celeste and Trevor. Over the last few months, Celeste's rare visits had already hinted that their relationship was nearing its end. When Trevor had her things

At Jordyn's school, Celeste heard a sweet voice call out her name. "Ms. Rodriguez."Turning slightly, she saw Sylvia running toward her and saying, "Ms. Rodriguez, my mom asked me to bring you some buns last night, but you weren't home, so I took them back."Just as Celeste was about to speak, Jordyn, unaware that Celeste had already moved out, huffed and said, "That's not true. My mom was home last night."Sylvia scratched her head. "Huh? Really? Then why…"Before Celeste could respond, Jordyn's teacher called out to her, "Ms. Rodriguez."Celeste turned. "Ms. Alper."Donna gestured for Jordyn and Sylvia to head inside, saying she had something to discuss with Celeste.Once the two children went in, Donna said, "Ms. Rodriguez, do you know about next week's parent-child activity at the school?"Celeste shook her head. "No."Jordyn didn't mention it to her.Donna hesitated, having already suspected this but still wanting to confirm it with her.Celeste simply said, "As long as

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

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

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
