The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 280
Just after Jordyn called Celeste, the car Trevor sent to pick Jordyn up showed up. In the end, Jordyn didn't manage to see Celeste before she left. As she reached the private lounge, Jordyn ran straight into Trevor's arms. "Dad, Wynn, hi!"Smiling, Trevor softly ruffled her hair. Wynn helped Jordyn set her backpack aside. Beck, Miles, and Linda were there in the private lounge as well. Seeing how much Jordyn missed Trevor and Wynn, Miles chuckled and said, "See? I told you, Trevor. You should've brought Jo along on the trip. Look how upset she is. If you'd stayed away any longer, Jo would probably have been in tears."Miles's comment made it seem like staying with Celeste had been unfair to Jordyn. Before Trevor and the others could say anything, Beck smoothly steered the conversation in another direction. "Did you do anything fun while you were there, Jo?"Jordyn settled down in her seat. "I did! I went to watch a movie with Mom, and we played VR games together. We also d

They were halfway through the meal when something suddenly popped into Miles' mind. He said to Wynn, "That reminds me, YodaVision Co. is actively recruiting talents. Do you want to try working there again?"Although she had spent the last few days overseas, she was aware of YodaVision Co.'s movements. Truth be told, she was quite tempted to go. After all, the company had the most impressive technology ever. Working there would do wonders for her personal growth. However, something was still holding her back.Miles knew that Wynn was worried that Celeste might make things hard for her. He grinned and said, "I ran into a friend yesterday. It sounded like Matthias was also earnestly getting in touch with people with experience in management, aside from technicians with a specific set of skills."Judging by the way YodaVision Co. was recruiting new talents, Matthias didn't reserve any managerial position for her." Naturally, he was talking about Celeste. YodaVision Co. was expanding

After work, Celeste and Matthias swung by Zachary's villa. Zachary was frowning and talking with someone over the phone. When he saw them, he ended the call, took a seat, and said, "After seeing your research content, some people were interested in meeting you. I'll introduce you to them next time."Celeste nodded obediently. "Okay."Her current research had been officially designated as a national project. Then, Zachary talked to her about what she should expect from it. Afterward, Celeste and Matthias asked him for some pointers about something. By the time they left, it was already midnight. The next morning, they went back to YodaVision Co. Celeste was going through the resumes that the human resources department had filtered for the technical department. She had been reading them for a while when she suddenly stopped. Matthias was right next to her, and he noticed how unusual she looked. He asked, "What's the matter?""This is Wynn's resume."Matthias raised an eyebrow

The government staff arranged lunch for Celeste and the other company representatives. After the forum had concluded, she packed her stuff, rose to her feet, and left. Trevor watched her retreating figure and walked behind her. The Robinson family and the Jennings family were quite close to each other. So, Jorge and Harold knew one another quite well. Once they were out of the conference room, the former greeted the latter. Celeste ignored Jorge, who was standing next to Harold. Instead, she walked over and greeted Harold as well. "Mr. Jennings."He smiled and responded warmly, "You don't have to be so stiff. Just act natural."Celester readily took his advice. "Alright, Mr. Jennings."Jorge heard what she said and was stumped. If memory served him right, Celeste and Harold had probably met each other for the first time during Harry's art exhibition. Back then, Harold might've been quite polite toward Celeste out of respect for Matthias, but they were likely not that close. Th

Jorge proceeded to tell Caleb about what he saw today. The latter replied to his text, saying, "Celeste and her grandma left a good impression on my dad and my grandpa. Perhaps that has something to do with it."The way Jorge saw it, Harold paid close attention to Celeste and treated her rather specially. It didn't matter how good of an impression she left, they had merely met each other once. It was too far-fetched. With that said, Jorge didn't think too much of it after he heard what Caleb said. The weather forecast predicted rain or even snow in the afternoon. Before Celeste finished eating, she noticed that it was pouring outside. After the meal, Harold and the other politicians needed to have a deeper discussion with Celeste and the other company representatives. This time, it was about last year's production and operation as well as this year's development plan. Later, Harold and the other politicians thanked the various companies for their contribution to the city's e

Celeste's expression shifted slightly. She pushed him away and said, "Let me…"Trevor interrupted her and said, "Hold the umbrella."At the next moment, he swooped her up and carried her down the steps before she could say anything. She was still in his arms when he turned around and said to the others, "I'll be taking my leave now. Let's hang out again when we have the chance."The businessmen who were considerably close to him were actually a little stunned. After all, everybody knew about Celeste's relationship with Matthias. If Matthias let her represent YodaVision Co. for the forum hosted by the government, it also meant that things were still fine between them. Trevor had his own girlfriend. Even if he did have feelings for Celeste, he really should have exercised some restraint. Instead, he openly did something so intimate to someone else's girlfriend. In all honesty, he demonstrated a massive show of disrespect for Matthias. After all, Matthias had some fearsome pulls

Trevor heard the sound of a car door opening, and he turned around to check. Celeste stepped out of the car and closed the door. She stepped forward quietly and took the umbrella from his hand. He lowered his head and looked at her ankle. "Are you okay?" It actually hurt a little, but Celeste could still walk. However, she didn't say anything to him. She couldn't be bothered to think about the reason he swooped her up and carried her in his arms. She said nonchalantly, "Give me a call once the divorce procedures are done."What she meant was that there was no need for them to keep in touch with each other if it wasn't about their divorce. At the next moment, Celeste held the umbrella, walked past him, and left. Trevor watched her retreating figure, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he did nothing as she walked away. Their cars weren't parked too far away from each other. He didn't turn around and leave until she had safely gotten into her car. A while later, his car drove

Beck had a business meetup that night. So, he intended to leave as soon as he was done talking about work with Celeste. She noticed that he was staring at her, and she raised her head. "What is it?"Valentine's Day was tomorrow, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he shook his head and responded, "It's nothing."Celeste was completely focused on work now. She had all but forgotten about Valentine's Day. It wasn't until her company staff told her about it the next day that she suddenly realized what day it was. She was about to return to her office when she heard a voice at the entrance. "Excuse me, but which one of you is Ms. Rodriguez? Someone bought you some flowers. Please come over and take it."Celeste turned around when she heard it. She found herself looking at a delivery guy holding a big bouquet of roses and standing outside. His words and the roses captivated the attention of everyone around him. The public might've been spreading suggestive rumors about

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
