Ruby anxiously said, "I heard that in the few days since Martha got injured, Trevor and Celeste—even the other members of the Rodriguez family—have been in frequent contact."Yesterday, someone even saw Trevor having a meal with the old lady from the Rodriguez family. Could they be rekindling their past relationship?""There was never a relationship to rekindle," Wynn replied calmly, though she disliked Ruby's choice of words.Seeing how worried Ruby was, Wynn patiently explained, "Madam Daniels has a close relationship with the Rodriguez family. Trevor needs to keep Celeste and the old lady on good terms, so they'll continue visiting Martha. "That way, Martha won't use her surgery as leverage to force Trevor to break up with me."Ruby had never thought of this.Ever since Martha's fall, she had expelled both their families from the Fleming Group. For the past two days, both families had been worried that Martha would demand Trevor and Wynn break up as a condition for agreeing t

During lunch, Celeste bought movie tickets. After eating, they watched the movie and then went shopping for a while.While Jamie was trying on clothes and Hector was buying figurines, Celeste said to Jordyn, "I'll take you home later.""Home?" Sitting beside her, Jordyn said, "I don't want to go home. I want to stay at Granny's for another night. I'll go back tomorrow evening."Celeste took a sip of water and said, "Jamie and Hector have spent the whole day with you. Tomorrow, they need to focus on their homework. If you stay at Granny's, you'll distract them.""I don't need them to play with me. I can play on my tablet by myself."Celeste didn't say anything more, but she found a moment to send Trevor a message, asking him to have someone pick Jordyn up later.Trevor was probably busy, as he didn't reply for a long time.After Jamie finished shopping, they walked around a bit more before heading back to the Rodriguez residence.Betty and Ivan were genuinely happy to see Jordyn

After Jordyn left, Celeste went upstairs, turned on her computer, and got to work.About an hour later, Jason sent her some documents to review.Celeste opened them and looked through them. The first thing that caught her eye was the three newly added properties, with their specific locations clearly marked.She paused when she saw the details.All three properties were vacant units in the Rodriguez family's residential neighborhood, and they were relatively close to the Rodriguez residence.To be honest, although Trevor had previously helped her buy the house in front of the Rodriguez residence, that alone didn't completely put her at ease.After all, Betty loved going out for walks. Even if the Shaw family no longer lived right across from her, as long as they were in the same neighborhood, they would inevitably run into each other.That had always worried her. But now…Looking at this new agreement—was Trevor trying to eliminate her concerns once again?Even though he was l

Celeste and Betty stayed with Martha for about half an hour before Trevor said, "I'm stepping out for a bit."During that time, Trevor had mostly remained a silent observer, barely speaking.Hearing this, Martha scoffed, "Just go then."Trevor left the hospital room. But once he was gone, he didn't return for over half an hour.Earlier, Samantha had been there, making sure the fruit, pastries, and tea were all well taken care of.After Samantha stepped away for a moment, Celeste noticed that Betty's tea had gone cold. So, she picked up the small teapot and went over to the table, intending to brew a fresh pot of tea.Seeing Celeste personally handling the tea, Martha suddenly thought of Trevor.She frowned and muttered, "Trevor really is something… I don't know what he's off doing, but he's been gone for so long."When Trevor had said he was stepping out, Celeste didn't pay much attention to it. But hearing Martha's complaint, she suddenly recalled that Wynn was still downstair

Celeste and Betty walked toward their car.Just as they were about to get in, Wynn stepped out of a nearby vehicle."Oh, so she hasn't left," Betty said and glanced at her before withdrawing her gaze.Celeste had thought Betty didn't notice Wynn earlier, but apparently, she had.As she watched Trevor walk over to Wynn, Betty seemed to remember how he had left the hospital room for over half an hour earlier.She remarked, "Their relationship seems to be quite good."Celeste fastened Betty's seatbelt without responding.Just as she pressed the gas pedal and was about to drive away, she saw Tucker running out of the hospital.He had probably just spotted Wynn as he looked both surprised and excited as he quickly ran over to them.Celeste took one glance before withdrawing her gaze and driving off.…"Trev!" Tucker ran over, his eyes locked onto Wynn. "You… You're really CC! I-I thought I was seeing things!"Wynn knew that Trevor had a younger brother in high school. But they h

Celeste had just driven away from the hospital when Betty suddenly recalled something. "Trevor made it to the hospital, but what about Jo? Where did she go?"Before Celeste could speak, Betty's expression darkened right away. Celeste could tell from her expression that she was unhappy about Trevor leaving Jordyn behind while he and Wynn came to the hospital to see Martha. "Don't worry. He'll take good care of her," Celeste said. However, Betty wasn't convinced. "If he keeps this up, Cel, take him to court. No matter what, you have to get custody of Jo!" Celeste paused for a brief moment before she spoke flatly. "Okay."Betty remained displeased. She got out of the car as soon as they arrived at the Rodriguez residence. Just then, Celeste's phone rang. It was a call from Jordyn, but she didn't pick it up. Maybe it was because she hadn't spent much time with Jordyn these past few months and had been missing her calls, but over the last two days, she could clearly sense

Celeste murmured a reply. Jordyn paused, realizing that Celeste might not know who Shanice was, and quickly added, "Shanice is my friend—she calls Mr. Harper her uncle."Celeste responded softly, noticing how eager she was to share. "What did you guys do?""We explored a maze!"Celeste listened without much reaction, but Betty's expression grew stern. When Trevor took Jordyn back, she thought he would be looking after Jordyn himself. It was only now that she realized Trevor wasn't taking care of Jordyn himself. Instead, he was focused on dating Wynn and would rather leave her with someone else than let Celeste care for her. Betty's face soured. Jordyn had no clue what Betty was thinking. Then, she added, "Mr. Harper asked me to stay for dinner, but I want to come back, so I called you."Celeste nodded. "Did you thank him then?" she asked. "Yes, I did!" Jordyn replied cheerfully. Celeste didn't ask any further. Since Jordyn had finished her homework, she stayed in

Even though YodaVision had sealed the deal with Jorge and Beck, certain aspects of the business still lacked suitable partners. To accelerate the search for the right partners, enhance the company's exposure, and push for growth, YodaVision had been organizing an investment conference, which officially took place on Monday morning. After dropping Jordyn off at school in the morning, Celeste headed to the hotel for the conference. By the time she got there, Matthias and the others were already present.Celeste was set to take the stage shortly as the company's core engineer to deliver a speech and answer the media's questions. Hence, she was going over the agenda backstage with Matthias. Just then, Beck arrived.He had only been seated for a moment when Jorge also showed up. About 20 minutes later, Matthias and Celeste went upstage to give their speeches. Jorge appeared engaged during Matthias's speech, yet when Celeste stepped forward, a frown crept onto his face. Was

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

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
