Wynn would probably be drowned in public opinion if that happened.This made it obvious how blatantly biased Harvey was toward Wynn.Harvey didn't want to associate with Celeste in this kind of setting, but he couldn't bear to miss the chance to connect with Matthias.So, when Celeste went to the restroom, he, Wynn, and Lennox approached Matthias.Introducing himself, Harvey said, "Mr. Yoder, hello, I'm Harvey Locket, father of both Wynn and Celeste. It's a pleasure to meet you."Matthias politely shook his hand and replied, "So, you're Mr. Locket. Nice to meet you."Harvey glanced at Wynn and continued, "Celeste has a bit of a stubborn personality, and there have been some misunderstandings between her and Wynn. As her father, I've always hoped they could get along well, but unfortunately, no matter what I say, Celeste just won't listen…"Matthias feigned realization. "Oh, is that so?""Yes." Harvey sighed but then smiled. "Still, I'm very happy that Celeste has the opportunit

Wynn also saw Celeste. She remained composed and said to Matthias, "We have something to attend to, so we'll leave first. Let's talk another time.Matthias shook hands with them. "Alright, let's catch up next time."Without sparing Celeste another glance, Wynn turned and left with Harvey and the others.…Matthias' status and reputation naturally attracted attention, and by noon, several influential figures approached him with invitations to lunch.From what they hinted, Trevor would also be attending.Trevor's table would likely gather industry leaders, making it an ideal opportunity to delve into the future direction of AI. Essentially, the market's trajectory was tied to the decisions of these individuals.This was not just a chance to glean insights but also to build connections. If the discussions went well, collaborations could be finalized right at the dining table.Matthias was indeed tempted.He turned to Celeste while silently seeking her opinion.With Trevor presen

If Celeste dared to cause a scene, it would undoubtedly upset Trevor.Given what she knew about Celeste and Trevor's marital status, Celeste wouldn't dare provoke him. After all, if she did, it would only deepen Trevor's disdain for her.Lennox felt somewhat reassured after hearing this, but she was still worried that Trevor might treat Wynn too kindly, which could be too much for Celeste to bear.Celeste, however, paid no attention to what they were thinking. She wasn't even particularly aware of their interactions, as she was more focused on the person sitting beside her—Bryson Leonard.Bryson had known that Celeste would be attending the expo and had made a point to greet her earlier at the event.The last time they met at a banquet, they had an engaging conversation. He had been wanting to connect with her again since, but both of them had been too busy. Now that they had run into each other, he wasn't going to let the opportunity pass.Not long after they were seated, he str

Despite having been at the table for quite a while, Trevor and Matthias hadn't exchanged a single word.Hearing the comment, Trevor picked up a napkin, dabbed the corner of his mouth, and looked at Matthias with a smile. "It's true, I've been considering it. What's your take, Mr. Yoder?"Matthias wasn't one to pass up an opportunity for business."To have Mr. Fleming's interest is an honor for YodaVision Co."If Trevor and Matthias were to collaborate, Wynn would be delighted. After all, closer ties between them would mean more chances for her to interact with Matthias. And if that happened, it would make it easier to bring Matthias over to her side.With that thought in mind, she shot a cold glance at Celeste.Celeste, however, spent most of her time chatting with Bryson. Though she kept a casual ear on the overall dynamics at the table, she wasn't overly concerned.If Matthias genuinely wanted to collaborate with Trevor, she had no objections. After all, there was no reason to

When Matthias noticed what had happened, he immediately paused his conversation with Yale and walked over to Celeste."Are you okay?"Celeste shook her head."Did you twist your ankle?""A little," she admitted. Her ankle was indeed aching. It was likely sprained.Seeing Matthias' concern warmed her heart, but it also left her feeling a tinge of sadness.She was well aware of the looks people were giving her. They probably thought she had intentionally thrown herself into Trevor's arms. Even now, seeing that she was injured, they likely believed she deserved it.As for Trevor, he hadn't even offered to steady her properly, let alone ask if she was alright after the fall.The only person genuinely concerned for her here was Matthias."Let me take a look.""No need—"There were so many people around.Ignoring her protests, Matthias scooped her up effortlessly. After carrying her away from the crowd, he set her down and knelt to inspect her ankle. Removing her high heels, he g

Celeste instinctively declined. "No need to trouble yourself. I'll pick it up myself."Her straightforward refusal led to a brief silence on the other end."Mr. Harper?" she prompted."Alright. I'll send you the contact information for the repair shop shortly.""Thank you. I appreciate it."Beck didn't say anything else and hung up the call.With her injured ankle, it was impossible for Celeste to pick up the car herself. After thinking it over, she decided to ask Matthias for help.Matthias agreed. He promised to bring the car back once he finished his work.That evening, Celeste ordered takeout. Just as she finished eating, her phone rang. It was Jordyn."When are you coming home?" Jordyn asked.Celeste replied directly, "I sprained my ankle and can't walk easily. I'm staying elsewhere to recover, so I won't be coming home. You should go to bed early."Jordyn gasped. "What? Mom, you hurt your ankle? Is it serious? Does it hurt a lot?""It hurts a bit, but it's not serious
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 65
After a brief pause, Beck said, "I'll send you my account details shortly.""Alright," Celeste replied politely. "Sorry to trouble you, and thank you so much for your help today.""There's no need to thank me," Beck replied coolly before ending the call.Matthias, who had been sitting nearby and overheard the conversation, asked, "The person who helped with your car today?"At that moment, Beck sent over his account details along with a photo of the repair invoice.Glancing at the message, Celeste opened her payment app and replied, "Yes."From the way Celeste had spoken to Beck, Matthias could tell they weren't particularly close.Matthias knew Beck as well and was aware that Celeste also knew him. However, to his knowledge, there was almost no connection between the two of them. Even when he heard Celeste address the person on the phone as "Mr. Harper," it hadn't immediately occurred to him that it was Beck.Celeste transferred the exact amount of the repair cost back to Bec
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 66
Hearing Jordyn's words, Celeste was momentarily brought back to her thoughts.Yesterday, when she fell, Trevor didn't help her.When she got hurt, he acted indifferent.He behaved that way not just because he didn't care about her but also because he didn't want Wynn to misunderstand.In his heart, Wynn's thoughts and feelings were what mattered most.Whether Celeste lived or died didn't concern him.Otherwise, how could he have been so cold when he saw her fall and get injured?With this thought, her expression turned indifferent. Just as she was about to decline, Trevor spoke first. "Ask your Mom," he said to Jordyn.Jordyn turned to Celeste. "Mom, Dad wants to know if you want to talk to him."Celeste pressed her lips together briefly before responding, "No, I'm busy.""Oh," Jordyn relayed this to Trevor. "Dad, Mom said no."Trevor simply replied, "Okay."Jordyn said, "Okay, Mom. Bye.""Bye."After hanging up, Jordyn set down her phone and turned to Trevor. "Dad, I t

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
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 345
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
