The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 88
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
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 90
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
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 91
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,

Martha was still awake when Trevor and Celeste arrived home. Once she was sure that the couple came back in the same car, she finally felt assured and went back to her room. After Celeste got upstairs, she called Ivan and gave him the update. When she was done with the phone call, Matthias' call came in. Half an hour later, Celeste ended the call and returned to her room. Trevor was already done taking a bath and was leaning against the headboard with a book in his hand. Trevor turned his gaze from his book when he noticed her. After a brief moment, he turned his focus back to his book. Celeste also turned her gaze away. She took a bath and applied the conditioner. It was very late by the time she was done with all this. Then, she glanced at Trevor again. In the past, Celeste might've gotten used to it when Trevor treated her coldly. She wouldn't feel uneasy when she spent some private moments with him. Now that Travor helped Celeste out, it brought them slightly closer. Th

Although it was an old villa neighborhood, the environment was wonderful. On top of that, with the insane real estate prices in the downtown area, the villa was worth at least two to three billion dollars.Celeste didn't have that kind of money now. Trevor had just returned home not long ago and was loosening his tie. He probably found what she said amusing because he raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, "Do you intend to pay me for the villa?""Yeah. I…""Save it." Trevor put his tie on the dresser. "I can afford to give you that kind of money."Then, he also put his watch down before walking into the bathroom. Celeste watched his retreating figure. She was stunned momentarily before deciding she wouldn't insist on paying him. Ever since they got married, she was concerned about being a bother to him. That was why she had never asked him for anything. Now that Celeste thought about it, this particular villa was the only thing Trevor had taken the initiative of giving he

Celeste tucked her phone away and went downstairs. She told Martha that Trevor had dinner plans outside. That night, Trevor didn't return home. The next day, Martha was enraged when she learned about it. "I can't believe him. I know he's very busy with work, but how could he not come home at all?"Celeste merely wordlessly grinned when she heard what Martha said. Trevor might've been busy, but he could've come home if that was what he wanted to do. After all, he needed to sleep. Celeste recalled hearing Wynn's voice over the phone last night. Trevor must've gone somewhere better. That was most likely why he didn't come home. Meanwhile, YodaVision Co. had its major projects outlined for the next two years. Celeste had done it in the past two days, but Matthias believed they should compile their ideas. Thus, he sent some documents to Zachary so that the latter could provide him with some insights.Zachary was very busy most of the time. On top of that, his whereabouts were quit
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 95
Celeste also had the same thought. What was more, she believed that this was Trevor's way of making it up to Wynn after he stopped Wynn's uncle from moving into the villa across from Ivan. After all, Trevor loved Wynn. There was no way he would make her feel sorry for herself just because it inconvenienced Celeste. Matthias said, "If Wynn had been concealing her capabilities all this while, then…"He trailed off in silence and didn't finish his sentence. He and Celeste were Zachary's mentees—that much was true. Zachary might've treated them coldly, but he was actually quite close to them—that was true as well. After all, Zachary was tenderhearted despite his icy and distant character. His strict expectations of them didn't change the fact that he cared about them. With that said, Zachary was a man of strong principles as well. If Wynn really showed enough talents and capabilities, he would never refuse to take her in as his apprentice just because of the bad blood she had wi

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
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 343
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
