The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 84
Celeste wasn't surprised to hear Wynn answer the call. After all, Trevor and Wynn were already so close—practically inseparable.So what if she answered his phone?Celeste remained calm. "I need to speak to Trevor."Wynn, already knowing it was Celeste on the other end, replied coldly, "He's in the shower. If you have something to say, you can tell me."Tell her? Well, this matter did concern Wynn.Ivan saw Wynn's maternal uncle and Oliver Shaw's wife, Ruby, in the neighborhood today. However, Harvey had likely purchased the villa across from them.If Harvey had bought that house, it was probably meant as a gift to Wynn's grandmother and his current mother-in-law, Dorothy Adams.So, if Celeste told Wynn about this, would she stop Dorothy and the others from moving in?No, she wouldn't.Besides, Celeste didn't believe that Wynn had no idea Oliver's family was planning to move into the house right across from the Rodriguez residence. Which meant telling her would not only be poi

"Okay!" Jordyn happily ran upstairs, her footsteps light and quick.Celeste had just finished shutting down her laptop and tidying up when she stepped out of the master bedroom. Before she could react, Jordyn threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Mom!"Celeste only patted the top of her head without hugging her back.Jordyn didn't notice, too excited as she chattered away. Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps made Celeste look up, and her gaze locked onto Trevor's.His face was expressionless, while hers remained calm.Looking down at Jordyn, Celeste said, "Go have Hannah help you with your bath. Mom needs to talk to Dad."Trevor stopped walking upon hearing this.Jordyn had spent two fun-filled days outside and was in a great mood. Though she was reluctant, she didn't argue and obediently went to her room to have Hannah help her wash up.Celeste turned to Trevor, who was casually leaning against the wall, occupied with his phone. "Can we talk in the room?

Tears welled up in Celeste's eyes, and her mind momentarily went blank. But she quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Thank you. Then what—"Before she could finish asking what the conditions were, Trevor moved his cigarette away and reached out to wipe away a tear that had slipped down her cheek. "Get some rest."Celeste froze, watching his retreating figure, momentarily forgetting how to react. When she gathered her thoughts, she was unsure what to do next.When Trevor told her to rest early, did that mean he expected her to stay the night?Though she had moved out, they hadn't officially divorced. Staying over for one night wouldn't be a big deal.As for sleeping in the master bedroom… she'd better not.Calming herself, she picked up her belongings, along with a change of clothes and some toiletries, and went to Jordyn's room instead.That night, she stayed in Jordyn's room.The next morning, Celeste woke up before seven.Shortly after, Jordyn also woke up.

Although Martha spoke sternly, she still shot a glare at Trevor.Trevor remained unfazed and didn't react. He didn't need another reminder; he simply picked up a dish and placed some food on Celeste's plate.Celeste responded, "Thank you."Martha then mentioned that she had brought a variety of health supplements for them. After dinner, she planned to personally oversee the preparation of some nourishing soups for Celeste and Trevor.Celeste couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement.Martha had spent time in Yorkhaven in her younger years and had mastered the art of making rich, slow-cooked broths.After dinner, she went to the kitchen to personally guide the staff in preparing the tonics. When Celeste tried to help, Martha simply pushed her out of the kitchen.Left with no other choice, Celeste sat down on the couch.Jordyn and Trevor were also there—one focused on her Artisan's Puzzle, the other on his phone, busy with work.The room was silent.At that moment, Matthi

Celeste was shocked and at a loss for words. She felt a little awkward but was not overly flustered. After all, they were husband and wife, and over the years, they had done what married couples do plenty of times.Though she had always hoped Trevor would fall in love with her, she had never deliberately seduced him.It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it—she simply believed it wouldn't work on him, so she had never acted on the idea.That was why she usually wore loose, collared, two-piece pajama sets at home.The one she had on now was one such set—oversized and long enough that, even without pajama pants, it didn't seem too revealing.She had no intention of seducing him.Still, to avoid any misunderstanding, she explained, "I just forgot to grab my pants."Celeste was confident that her loose-fitting top, with its long hem, wasn't revealing.But she had overlooked something—her figure was naturally well-proportioned, with smooth curves in all the right places. The hig

What was more, it wasn't just any kind of drug.But Trevor understood its effects and had seen through it. It seemed he hadn't drunk the soup at all last night.Celeste hadn't expected Martha to go this far.She frowned, but Martha let out a dissatisfied sigh before she could speak. "Sometimes, it's not a good thing for a grandson to be too smart. Sigh, I was hoping for another grandchild. Cel, if you have time, put in more effort with Trevor, alright?"Celeste was speechless. She didn't know what to say.Even though Trevor had agreed to help her yesterday, she knew there was no future for them.It would have been a disaster if something had happened between them last night. As for having another child, that was impossible.Just as these thoughts crossed her mind, Jordyn came downstairs.When she saw her, Celeste's expression cooled slightly as she was reminded of Jordyn's admiration and affection for Wynn.During breakfast, Trevor once again naturally took the seat beside Cel

At the thought of it, Celeste's throat felt a little tight and sore. Suddenly, it seemed to be a little stifling in the car. Celeste withdrew her gaze and intended to lower the car window for some fresh air, but she paused just as she was about to touch the button. Eventually, she didn't press it. Instead, she turned her head sideways and looked out the window. Time passed, and they arrived at Jordyn's school. Celeste stepped out of the car to take her to the school premises, while Trevor remained seated. Jordyn said, "Dad…""Dad's busy.""Oh…" Celeste knew Trevor acted differently when he took Jordyn to school with Wynn. He would get out of the car with her and take Jordyn to the teacher before he left. Today, Celeste was here with Trevor. She had no idea if he was actually busy or if he simply didn't want to be seen in public with her. At that thought, Celeste decided she wouldn't push for it. She looked at Trevor and said, "You can leave first. I'll hail a cab to the com

With that said, Trevor was here as well. So, Isabelle didn't do or say anything reckless. Wynn walked over, but she didn't talk to Celeste. Instead, she faced Matthias and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Mr. Yoder. We meet again."Matthias plastered on a smile and said, "Yeah. It is.""I've always wanted to treat you to a meal, Mr. Yoder, but I've been busy. So, I couldn't make time for it.""Don't worry about it, Ms. Locket. I'm well aware that you're extremely busy." Of course, Wynn was busy. Otherwise, she would have reported to work at YodaVision Co. after meeting Matthias for the first time a month ago. Harvey also wanted to make a connection to Matthias. He noticed that Trevor didn't object to Wynn ignoring Celeste and greeting Matthias. So, he figured it was safe to walk over. Lennox noticed and followed suit. After Harvey greeted Matthias, he looked at Celeste and said, "Hi, Cel."Celeste didn't respond to him. Harvey didn't say anything further. Instead,

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

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
