Matthias paused. "What? This is such a coincidence."Trevor replied calmly, "It is."Matthias said, "There are a lot of us. Mr. Fleming, why don't you take the elevator first? We'll wait for the next one.""Sure. See you next time.""See you."The elevator doors closed, leaving Celeste, Matthias, and the others to wait for the next one.When the elevator arrived, Celeste's phone rang as they stepped inside. It was Jordyn calling.After excusing herself from the others, Celeste answered, "Hello?""Mom, are you off work? When are you coming home?"Ever since Celeste injured her ankle, Jordyn had been calling her daily to check in. When she heard yesterday that Celeste's ankle had healed, she had asked when Celeste would be coming home.Celeste had been too busy with work to promise anything yesterday. Now, hearing Jordyn's question again, she said, "I just finished up. I'll be home soon."By the time she ended the call, the elevator had reached the ground floor.Henry, who wa

Celeste agreed to it. Jordyn then asked Celeste to send her to school tomorrow. Celeste promised she would too. She hadn't seen Jordyn for almost ten days since visiting the hot spring retreat. Thus, she stayed at the villa that night. But she didn't sleep in the master bedroom. Instead, she wanted to stay in the same room as Jordyn. The last time Celeste stayed with Jordyn was when Jordyn was sick. However, Jordyn wasn't sick this time, and she didn't even ask Celeste to stay with her to sleep. Jordyn noticed Celeste was showering in her bathroom. The latter seemed like she wanted to stay here for the night. Jordyn found it odd that Celeste chose not to sleep in the room she shared with Trevor. She actually liked sleeping with Celeste as it felt cozy and warm to cuddle up with her. So, Jordyn didn't voice her question. Since Celeste was staying with her for the night, Jordyn had to be more careful when she said goodnight to Wynn. She didn't want Celeste to fin

"Shanice."Beck walked over to Celeste and took the little girl from her. Just then, Beck noticed how Shanice was completely soaked. He paused for a moment. Staring at Celeste, he asked, "How did she…"Celeste didn't know that this little girl was actually his niece as well. She explained, "She fell into the pool, and I pulled her out.""Thank you," Beck responded. "You're welcome," said Celeste. "Please help her change into dry clothes, in case she catches a cold."Beck nodded in agreement. He looked at Celeste and wanted to say something, but his niece's cries interrupted him. Shanice kept sobbing as if she was scared out of her wits. Thus, Beck comforted her and walked into the elevator after giving Celeste a quick nod. Celeste went back to the pool afterward. After soaking in the hot spring, she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went to the buffet area. Before she could finish her meal, Beck appeared in front of her. He was holding Shanice's hand. "Mind if

However, when Matthias saw how Celeste greeted the man, he felt that they seemed to know each other. "He's Beck Harper.""Beck?" Matthias was surprised. "Aren't you two not that close? How did you both end up at the same table?""His niece fell into the pool just now and I saved her, and he brought his niece over to thank me."Matthias nodded. "I see."Celeste told Beck that she was with her colleagues. Thus, Beck assumed the person who had greeted her earlier was just one of her colleagues, so he didn't turn around to check. After Celeste and Matthias walked a little further away, Beck turned around, only to see a tall young man walking beside Celeste. From the way he looked from behind, he seemed like a good match for Celeste. Beck could tell that they had a good relationship as they were walking closely to each other. "Uncle Beck…"Upon hearing Shanice's voice, Beck came back to his senses. "Are you done eating? Let's head back to our room then.""Okay," Shanice repl

Feeling embarrassed, Celeste's face flushed immediately. She adjusted the collar that Shanice had tugged. Beck's expression darkened in that instant. After he snapped back to his senses, he turned around and shifted his gaze. The nanny, who had been standing aside, was mortified as well. Luckily, they were the only ones there; otherwise, it would have been even more awkward. The nanny quickly helped Celeste adjust her clothes. Celeste was reserved, and she had never revealed so much of her body to any man other than Trevor. What made it worse was that the man before her was Trevor's good friend. That made her especially uncomfortable. After adjusting her clothes, she uttered in an unnatural tone, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."Only then did Beck turn around and face Celeste. "I'm sorry."Shanice knew she had done something wrong and thought she had upset Celeste. She looked at Celeste with teary eyes and softly apologized, "Ms. Rodriguez, I'm sorry…"

20 minutes later, Trevor came back with Jordyn. Martha's gaze went past Trevor and fixated on Jordyn. Grinning, she waved at Jordyn. "You're back, Jo!""Hi, Nana." Jordyn ran toward Martha. After Martha had hugged and ruffled her hair, Jordyn finally walked over to Celeste. "Hi, Mom."Celeste hummed a reply. When she was hugging Jordyn, she noticed the faint scent of Wynn's perfume on Jordyn's clothes. She didn't mention anything about it. Instead, she only lightly pushed Jordyn away. Trevor sat beside Martha and placed a box before her. "This is a token of apology."It was a pack of Coffea Arábica that Martha liked a lot. Besides, it was rare on the market, and hard to get even for a high price. Martha knew that Trevor was apologizing for not showing up at the hot spring retreat previously. She let out a huff. "You've got me covered, but what about Cel? Did you get her anything as an apology?"Trevor remained silent while glancing at Celeste.It was just a quick look. I

Celeste bathed Jordyn and blow-dried her hair.Jordyn was quietly looking at Celeste, who was blow-drying her hair. She suddenly realized Celeste wasn't as talkative as before.Back then, Celeste would keep the conversation going with various topics. Celeste noticed how Jordyn was gazing at her. It looked as if Jordyn was lost in thought. Celeste asked, "What's wrong?"Jordyn shook her head. "Nothing."She must be overthinking. Or perhaps, Celeste wasn't in the mood to talk.After her hair was dried, Jordyn rolled on the bed. "Mom, are you staying with me for the night?"Celeste paused for a moment before answering, "Do you want me to stay with you, Jo?""I'm okay with it! But Mom, you haven't been with Dad much lately. Don't you want to sleep with Dad?""Right. I'll go back to my room later on."Celeste and Trevor still hadn't completed their divorce paperwork. If Jordyn didn't ask her to stay and she insisted on it, it would cause a huge fuss once Martha knew about it.
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 76
Trevor's words were definitely not meant for Celeste. For all these years they were married, Trevor had never once hugged her in his sleep, let alone given her a morning kiss.Thus, Celeste was certain that Trevor had mistaken her for Wynn. She pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.Trevor was still asleep.Staring at Trevor, Celeste swallowed the bitterness welling up inside her. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Trevor. She was trying to escape his embrace. With how tightly they were pressed together, her slightest movement was bound to disrupt his sleep.Then, it was just as expected—as she removed Trevor's hand from her waist and sat up, Trevor opened his eyes. She was about to pull her legs back.Their eyes met at that exact moment.Trevor woke up completely. Once he grasped the circumstances and realized he had hugged the wrong person, he paused for a brief moment and shifted so his legs were not entwined with hers anymore.Celest

As soon as Celeste returned to her office, her phone rang.It was a call from Jordyn.Thinking back to what Trevor had said in the conference room—about having dinner and bringing Jordyn along—she looked at the call and didn't answer it.Jordyn called her three times in a row. When none of the calls were answered, she sent a message a moment later."Mom, I have a fencing competition next month. Can you come with me to training tomorrow?"When Celeste saw the message, her hand holding the phone suddenly froze.Ever since Trevor had taken Jordyn to Andostan over two years ago, she had missed out on many aspects of Jordyn's life.For instance, she didn't really know what classes Trevor had arranged for Jordyn, or what extracurricular activities she'd been enrolled in during those two years.Before she had brought up the idea of divorce, Celeste had tried to ask Jordyn about these things, but Jordyn didn't want to talk to her.If Jordyn hadn't mentioned it just now, she wouldn't e

Beck came back to his senses, looked at Celeste with a smile, and shook his head. "It's nothing."After finishing the business discussion with Beck that afternoon, Matthias called Celeste.Matthias said, "I just got word from the lawyer—Wynn still refuses to terminate the contract. She's willing to pay a substantial compensation fee for damage to our reputation, but I didn't agree. "Since negotiations failed, I've asked the lawyer to proceed with legal action."Celeste replied, "Alright, got it."After that, Matthias added, "Trevor is coming to the company tomorrow to discuss some matters. Joseph can handle the first part of the meeting, but there's one document that needs your confirmation, so—"In other words, she would have to meet with Trevor tomorrow.Celeste understood what he meant and said, "Alright, understood."…The next day, Trevor and Jacob arrived at YodaVision in the afternoon.As Matthias had said, Joseph was the one who received them initially. Midway throug

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
