The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 32
Matthias asked, "So?"Joshua replied, "Given her background, it's impressive that she can even be part of our circle, let alone in the circles of the Fleming family and other prominent families. However, Ms. Locket has easily integrated into their core circle and built strong relationships. She's truly remarkable."Initially, I was puzzled by Trevor's unexpected appearance at my dinner party. However, I later discovered that he had come to introduce guests to Ms. Locket."Trevor's effort to build connections for Ms. Locket and bring Beck and others along shows he is serious about her. If she were just a passing interest, he wouldn't have bothered. With Trevor's support, the Locket family will thrive in the future."Matthias and Celeste listened intently, yet both remained silent.In the end, Joshua let out a heartfelt sigh. "The Locket family is truly fortunate to have a daughter like her. It's genuinely admirable."As Joshua concluded his speech, Celeste looked around and realiz

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Trevor had returned."Dad!""Hmm." Trevor entered the room and headed straight for the bed.Celeste noticed the situation and attempted to place Jordyn down to create space for Trevor. However, Jordyn was reluctant to let go, leaning into Celeste's embrace while stretching her arms toward Trevor. Trevor picked Jordyn up.As he embraced Jordyn, his proximity revealed the distinct scent of a familiar male cologne. Yet, mingling with that fragrance was a delicate hint of a feminine perfume that caught Celeste's attention. She had just encountered this very scent on Wynn during the dinner party earlier that evening.Celeste averted her gaze and stood up, creating space between herself and Trevor until his scent faded completely from her senses.Trevor gently rested his hand, adorned with an exquisite watch, on Jordyn's delicate forehead and turned to Celeste. "What's her temperature now? Has it decreased a little?"Celeste rel

As Celeste stepped out of the kitchen, she caught sight of Trevor lounging on the couch in the living room, engrossed in a newspaper. He briefly glanced her way before going back to his reading.Celeste paused. In the past, she would have sat nearby and spent time with him without disturbing him. But now, they had nothing to say to each other.Reflecting on this, she turned and headed upstairs, with Trevor making no attempt to stop her. Celeste felt a twinge of confusion. She had expected him to confront her and Matthias about "bullying" Wynn. Yet, he'd remained silent.Jordyn woke up as Celeste went upstairs. She looked weak and came out of the room to look for Celeste. "Mom, I'm hungry. Is the chicken noodle soup ready?"Celeste replied, "It's almost done. Are you still having a fever?"Jordyn grinned. "Not anymore."Celeste felt relieved and returned to the kitchen. After five or six minutes, she emerged with a smile, announcing, "Jo, the chicken noodle soup is ready."Celest

Noticing Trevor's gaze directed toward the bathroom, Jordyn remarked, "Mom's in there taking a shower."Trevor replied, "Hmm. Did you ask your mom to shower here?""No, Mom brought the clothes herself."Trevor did not ask any further questions. After exchanging a few brief words, he advised her to go to bed early before walking away.Celeste heard some noises outside while in the bathroom, realizing Trevor had arrived, but she couldn't hear their conversation. Jordyn was still unwell and easily fell asleep after taking medicine. As it was getting late, Celeste lay down on the bed with her after the shower.Jordyn snuggled into Celeste's embrace, burying her face in her shoulder. "Mom, you smell amazing and feel so soft."She found Celeste's hugs to be the most comforting, even more so than Wynn's embrace. Yet, aware of Celeste's disdain for Wynn, she chose to keep her feelings to herself.Jordyn quickly fell asleep, followed by Celeste, who was also tired.When Jordyn fell ill,

Celeste did not answer but patted Sylvia on the head. "Sylvia, please don't tell Jo that I sent you here, alright?" Sylvia nodded. "Okay."Previously, Jordyn got angry with her for hugging Celeste. She felt a little scared of Jordyn and hesitated to speak to her. Moreover, Jordyn might still be upset, as she would glare at her whenever they crossed paths.Trevor, Wynn, and Jordyn appeared to be a happy family. Celeste observed them and thought they looked great together before looking away.After a while, after Trevor and Wynn departed, Celeste stepped out of the car alongside Sylvia.Jordyn's teacher recognized Celeste as Jordyn's mother. Just moments ago, she had seen Jordyn being dropped off at school by her father and another woman, leading her to believe that Celeste was simply occupied. But now, witnessing Celeste holding Sylvia's hand, her thoughts spiraled into confusion. "Ms. Rodriguez, you and Sylvia...""Mrs. Golden had an urgent matter to attend to, so she asked me
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 37
Everyone was amazed to see Celeste. One employee eagerly asked, "Mr. Yoder, is this lovely lady really our new colleague?""You're well-informed." Matthias smiled.Then, he continued, "Allow me to introduce her to you. This is Celeste Rodriguez, our company's…"Before he could complete his words, Quentin abruptly interrupted him. "Mr. Yoder, did you fire Wynn because of her?"After a brief pause, Matthias nodded. "Yes. I'll explain it to you..."Before Matthias finished, Quentin glanced at Celeste and said, "Wynn just earned her doctorate from a top-ten university at only 25. Ms. Rodriguez, if you could kick her out to join YodaVision, your resume must be even more impressive, right?"Moments ago, Wynn mentioned that Matthias didn't hire her for personal reasons, but she didn't specify what they were. Moreover, Quentin witnessed Celeste and Matthias hugging. Hence, he assumed they had a close relationship, believing Celeste got into YodaVision through connections.Despite the ab

"It's not necessary. I won't be returning to YodaVision ever again!" Quentin declared as he walked away, not even glancing back.Celeste held talent in high regard. She turned to Matthias, who shook his head, advising her not to rush.Matthias recognized Quentin's talent and was reluctant to let him go. However, he'd sensed that Quentin had feelings for Wynn from their first meeting.Though Quentin's feelings were a personal affair that didn't concern Matthias, he couldn't ignore that Quentin's emotions for Wynn had clouded his judgment. As a result, Quentin unfairly reacted to Celeste's arrival without justification. This behavior was simply unacceptable.Additionally, they collaborated with the government on Cuap's core technology and signed a confidentiality agreement. Thus, Celeste's identity could not be exposed.Quentin's impulsive nature was largely influenced by his high regard for Wynn. Even if Celeste were to showcase her talents in the future, Quentin might remain uncon
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 39
After Quentin left YodaVision, he immediately called Wynn."Celeste joined YodaVision?"Quentin was puzzled. "Hmm. Didn't you know this?"He thought Celeste replaced her at YodaVision."No." She thought Matthias didn't hire her as he wanted to vent his anger on Celeste's behalf. She pondered whether Celeste had left Fleming Group since joining YodaVision.Quentin was shocked. "So, what was the personal reason you mentioned earlier?"Wynn refused to elaborate. "Just some personal grudges.""But…""What's wrong?"He'd misunderstood. His resignation wasn't related to Wynn. Quentin then asked, "How good is Celeste? I heard she hasn't passed her doctoral exam yet. She...""Her situation isn't that she hasn't yet passed her doctoral exam. Rather, she only holds an undergraduate degree and has never pursued a master's degree.""What? Really?""Mmm," Wynn replied indifferently. She was taken aback by Celeste's decision to leave Fleming Group. Yet, even more surprising was that r

Wynn quickly signed the termination agreement.As for the compensation, she promised to pay it within the specified time in the agreement.After receiving the news, Matthias snorted, "She sure is quick to act."The subsequent matters were handled by the lawyers. After Wynn signed the termination agreement, neither Celeste nor Matthias paid much attention to it.…Three days later, Zachary had a break, and the three of them hadn't seen each other for a while, so they made plans to meet for a meal.At noon, Celeste and Matthias left the office. When they arrived at the restaurant, they ran into Wynn and Trevor at the entrance.With them was also Donald Johansen, the CEO of another local AI company.Donald and Matthias were familiar with each other and had a decent relationship. They would often sit down and chat when they met.Now, seeing Matthias, Donald greeted him first, "Mr. Yoder."Matthias didn't even glance at Trevor and Wynn, responding with a smile, "Mr. Johansen."Do

After confirming the contract termination, Wynn called Trevor to inform him about the situation."On the day of the auction, I misspoke during my conversation with Melissa, and she caught it. Matthias' reluctance to work with InnovaTech has also become very obvious."Even if I win the lawsuit, it would be difficult to guarantee that Matthias and his family won't cause trouble in the future. "Since they have no intention of collaborating with InnovaTech, I think it's better to terminate the contract early and find new partners. It may not be a bad thing."Trevor didn't ask what she had said that caused Melissa to latch onto her words.He just said, "Since you've decided, let's go ahead with the termination. Do you need my help with the termination fees?"To be honest, Wynn was somewhat moved by his offer. However, ever since her family moved to Baumond, Trevor had already done so much for them.Moreover, if she continued to expect him to help with everything, even if she was tal

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
