The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 21
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 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

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

Zeke didn't expect her to agree so decisively. "You…"Celeste stretched out her hand as she said, "Thank you for taking care of me over the years."Zeke hadn't yet recovered from his surprise but still reached out to shake her hand. "It was nothing."Then, Celeste packed her things and left.Zeke was still in disbelief as Celeste walked away."Why are you zoning out?" Jacob patted him on the shoulder."Celeste left the company."Jacob paused for a moment. "Really?"He couldn't believe it.He then said with a snort, "She might be leaving now, but that doesn't mean she won't find a way to come back. I bet not long from now, she'll be back with help from Mrs. Fleming Senior."Zeke didn't say anything. Though it seemed unbelievable, he was starting to think Celeste might actually be serious about leaving after the way she had been acting recently.After leaving Fleming Group, Celeste went straight home. She didn't receive any calls from Jordyn in the next two days as the latter

After Lottie's fever had completely subsided, Celeste returned home. She hadn't yet prepared a dress for the upcoming banquet, so in the afternoon, she headed out to shop for one.At a high-end boutique, the store manager and several attendants were busy with a particular dress. It wasn't until Celeste approached that they noticed her presence."Sorry, miss, how can we help you?""I'm just looking around.""Of course."Though Celeste had become part of an affluent family like the Flemings, she's attended very few banquets over the years. After all, Trevor and Queenie never took her along to any formal events.As for Martha, she'd stepped out of the limelight long ago and had no interest in the social scene.Celeste wasn't an expert on dresses, but Lottie worked in high-end fashion. Hence, she had developed a basic sense of style.However, the boutique was filled with so many beautiful dresses that it was hard to choose.She wasn't looking to be too picky and just wanted someth

Celeste's expression stiffened. "Wynn? Do you mean Wynn Locket? The one who returned from Andostan recently?"Matthias nodded, surprised. "Yes. Do you know her?""She's my half-sister."Matthias was dumbfounded. Although he knew a little about Celeste's family situation, he hadn't expected such a coincidence.Celeste's gaze turned cold, and she added, "She's also Trevor's lover."The car suddenly screeched to a halt.Matthias' eyes widened in shock. "You—"Celeste shook her head and kept a cool composure. She said, "I'm fine. I just don't agree with her joining our company."Matthias agreed without hesitation. "I support your decision."Celeste felt touched. "Thank you."After a pause, she said, "But that means you'll be losing a genius."Chuckling, Matthias shook his head and glanced at her. He replied with utmost sincerity, "She may be an algorithm genius, but compared to you, she's nothing."Celeste was stunned. She thought Matthias was exaggerating, but he stated, "I'm

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?"
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 358
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
