Matthias rubbed his sore temples, his eyes barely open. "I knew you didn't sleep either!""I'm heading downstairs for breakfast now. Let's talk in a bit?"Despite his exhaustion, Matthias, slumped in his chair like a corpse, spoke with excitement. "Talk? Of course, we have to talk!"Inspiration was fleetingโit had to be seized while it lasted."Alright."Just as Celeste finished breakfast and was about to video call Matthias, Jason's call came in."I just got a call from Trevor's lawyer. The property deeds for the three villas he transferred to you have been processed. I'll pick them up later today. "When would you be available to collect them? If you're busy, we can arrange a time so I can bring them to you."Celeste had almost forgotten about this. Her mind was elsewhere now.Hearing Jason's words, she replied, "Thanks, Mr. Payne. Sorry for the trouble."After hanging up, she and Matthias got to work immediately. They worked tirelessly until noon, their brains nearly fried

Just as Celeste was thinking about this, Beck spotted her car and walked toward her.Celeste slowly rolled down the window. "Mr. Harper.""Good morning."Celeste nodded. "Morning." Then she asked, "Did you come here for something, Mr. Harper?"In truth, Beck had no particular business here. He had just been thinking about his suspicions from the night before last.So, he said, "Last Saturday night, I saw you with Mr. Yoder and Mr. Newman outside the restaurant."Celeste listened, not yet understanding why he was bringing this up, when she suddenly heard him ask, "You're also Mr. Newman's student, aren't you?"She froze, frowning at him. "Youโ"But Beck had already seen the answer in her reaction."So, these two YodaVision projects were also developed under your leadership?"Celeste pressed her lips together. "What exactly are youโ""One last question." Beck continued, "YodaVision's CUAP programming languageโwas that also created by you?"He wasn't a coding expert, but his f

Just as Celeste was about to step forward to greet her business partner, a familiar figure appeared behind him.When Celeste saw Harvey, her expression remained unchanged.Harvey, however, didn't notice her. But a teenage boy of around 17 or 18 beside Harvey happily waved toward the other side of the exit."Mom, Wynn! Dad and I are over here!"Hearing the teenager's words, Celeste abruptly stopped in her tracks. She suddenly realized who he was.Turning her head, she saw exactly what she expectedโLilian and Wynn.Lilian and Wynn smiled, while Calvin Locket quickly ran toward them.At that moment, YodaVision's business partner, Kevin Thatcher, approached with a friendly smile and greeted her in advance. "Ms. Rodriguez."Celeste unclenched her fist, withdrew her gaze, and smiled as she shook hands with him. "Mr. Thatcher."Just then, Lilian, Harvey, and the others finally noticed Celeste.Harvey frowned slightly.Lilian's smile faded somewhat.Wynn, however, remained indiffer

However, Harvey and his group had already turned and gone upstairs, so they didn't see Matthias getting out of the car.Matthias withdrew his gaze and quickly went over to greet Kevin.After exchanging pleasantries, their group was about to head upstairs when Trevor also arrived.As soon as he stepped out of the car, Kevin spotted him and greeted him with delight. "Mr. Fleming!"Trevor's expression remained unchanged when he saw Celeste and Matthias.He smiled faintly and shook hands with the approaching Kevin. "Mr. Thatcher, when did you arrive?""Just now," Kevin said with a laugh. "Last time, you mentioned having a meal together when you had time. When would you be available? How about tonight?"Trevor replied, "My schedule is full today. Let's do it in a couple of days.""Sure, sure, a couple of days works too."Watching Trevor and Kevin chatting, Matthias muttered in a low voice, "We only had peace for half a month, and now we've run into them again."Celeste said nothin

The collaboration with Kevin went smoothly.Two days later, both parties signed the contract, and since Kevin had other engagements, he left YodaVision.After a tiring half-day, Celeste and Matthias returned to the meeting room. They had just taken a short break with some hot drinks when Candice walked in, placing a thick stack of invitations in front of them."These are all the year-end banquet invitations we've received over the past few days."There were at least 30 invitations. Among them were invitations from Jorge, Beck, Fleming Group, and InnovaTech.Looking through them, Celeste and Matthias noticed that the Locket family had also sent an invitation.Not only was Matthias' name on the Locket family's invitation, but Celeste's name was included as well.Matthias leaned lazily against the conference table, holding the Locket family's invitation with a smirk. "Looks like our company has quite the charm."Rather than saying their company was particularly attractive, it was

Calvin said, "Everyone seems to have a lot of respect for Wynn."The person leading him in smiled and replied, "Of course. Ms. Locket is highly capable, and our team really likes her."Besides, because of Wynn's relationship with Trevor, the team also enjoyed excellent benefits.Of course, he didn't say that part out loud.Hearing someone praise his sister, Calvin smiled happily, feeling a sense of pride. However, he didn't intend to disturb Wynn while she was working.So, he said, "Take me to see the rest of the company.""Alright."As Calvin and his guide walked out, they happened to run into Beck, who had just arrived.The person accompanying Calvin quickly greeted him, "Mr. Harper."Beck nodded and glanced at Calvin. Seeing his youthful face and student-like attire, he immediately guessed his identity. But he didn't say anything.The person beside Calvin introduced him, "This is Ms. Locket's younger brother, Calvin Locket."Calvin had never met Beck before, but he knew o

Wynn watched but didn't seem to care.Beck's softened attitude toward Celeste was merely because of his collaboration with YodaVision.Miles shared the same thought.This was the third time Calvin had seen Celeste.He said, "So, that young lady is Beck's girlfriend?"Miles almost choked on his own saliva. "What girlfriend? They have no such relationship. Don't make things up."Calvin had just come to Baumond and didn't know much about anything.Miles and Wynn assumed he was just guessing because Celeste was good-looking, and she and Beck made an attractive pair."Alright then."But earlier, after Beck saw that young lady, his attention never shifted away from her even once. That was why he thought they were a couple.But even if they weren't together now, Beck must like that young lady, right?Beck had already noticed the gazes from Wynn and Miles.As the meeting time approached, he briefly exchanged farewells with Celeste and was about to leave. But suddenly, he remember

Seeing Trevor and Wynn, Beck's gaze fell on Celeste.Noticing that Celeste's expression remained unchanged at the sight of those two, he lowered his head slightly and smiled, saying, "I'll head over for a moment."Celeste and Matthias both nodded.Beck walked over and had just exchanged a few words with Trevor and Wynn when Jorge arrived as well.Upon seeing Wynn, his instinct was to walk toward her.Wynn glanced at him and smiled slightly. "Mr. Robinson.""Ms. Locket." Jorge had been busy lately and hadn't seen Wynn in a while.Now that he did, a flicker of admiration flashed in his eyes. He took an extra discreet glance at her before greeting Beck and Trevor.YodaVision was now an extremely important partner for the Robinson Group. So, after a brief chat with Beck, Jorge headed over to Matthias and proactively greeted him.After exchanging pleasantries, he greeted Celeste with a lukewarm, "Ms. Rodriguez."Celeste simply smiled without responding.YodaVision had already sen

Melissa likes Celeste? How is that possible?If what Miles said was true, then what she told Melissa yesterdayโฆThinking 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 theyโ"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. HoweverโฆWynn 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.โฆMelissa 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 callโshe 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 Loveย ย ย 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 aboutโprobably 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

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.โฆJorge 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
