The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 97
Celeste felt uneasy when she looked at herself in the mirror, but she didn't hate the red and suggestive bottoms. So, she put it on. Celeste was still wearing the bathrobe. She stopped in her tracks when she noticed Trevor's gaze and remembered the bikini set she was wearing. A moment later, however, Celeste walked over as if nothing happened. She approached the edge of the hot spring and put down the stuff on her hands. Then, she took off her bathrobe. Just like that, she revealed her suggestive clothing to Trevor. Trevor was stunned when he saw it. Celeste believed that he knew Martha had given her this. Trevor might misinterpret her choice to wear it as an invitation to have an intimate moment, but the truth was that she didn't intend that at all. Trevor was free to think whatever he wanted. Celeste had no reason not to put on the bikini set, which she quite liked, just because he might misunderstand her. This thought strengthened Celeste's resolve not to feel uneasy whe

At that moment, the door to another elevator slid open, and out came Miles. Celeste was surprised to see him. She didn't expect him to be here at the hot spring retreat. However, Martha and Trevor weren't surprised at all. Obviously, they knew about Miles' presence. Miles saw Celeste and raised an eyebrow. Then, he swiftly turned to Martha and asked enthusiastically, "Are you leaving already, Mrs. Fleming Senior? Aren't you going to have lunch before you go?"The Fleming family and the Quinton family shared a close bond, so Martha had known Miles since he was a little boy. She flashed him a loving smile and said, "I won't be joining you guys. Go ahead and have fun."All of them sent Martha to the entrance and saw her left. After her car drove into the distance, Jordyn merrily asked, "What are you doing here, Mr. Quinton?"Miles bent over and pinched Jordyn's fair cheeks. "Your dad asked me to be here. I came here immediately after I greeted your grandma. What do you think? Aren'

As the staff headed toward the elevator, he bumped into Trevor and the gang in the hallway. Miles asked, "This meal…"The staff immediately responded, "The missus ordered it."Obviously, he was talking about Celeste. Trevor and his gang didn't put the staff in a difficult position. Instead, they let him go back to his work. After the staff said, Miles chuckled and said, "It looks like we won't have to invite Celeste to lunch."Trevor responded nonchalantly, "We should ask her to join us."Wynn was immediately dumbfounded when she heard what he said. She pursed her lips and looked at him. Beck and Miles were taken aback as well. Miles chuckled. "I guess you're right. Mrs. Fleming Senior explicitly told you to look after Celeste. There will be hell to pay if she finds out we excluded Celeste from our lunch."After all, the hot spring retreat belonged to the Fleming family. Martha probably had arranged for her own men to be here, monitoring everything. Anything Trevor and the gan

Jordyn ran downstairs and told Trevor, "Dad, Mom's already having lunch in the room. So, she's not coming down here."Miles raised an eyebrow when he heard it. It turned out Celeste knew her place. Beck lowered his gaze and fell silent. Meanwhile, Wynn smiled subtly. She knew that Celeste wouldn't dare to join them for lunch. After all, no one really wanted her here. Celeste could try coming down and joining them, but all she would get was mockery and exclusion. Instead of putting herself through this, it was natural for her to hole up in her room and be the weasel that she saw. Trevor heard what Jordyn said and responded, "Alright. Got it."He wasn't that insistent about Celeste joining them as well. "Let's not wait anymore. Dig in, everyone."Wynn heard what he said, and her smile deepened. Then, she gracefully sat next to Trevor. Meanwhile, Celeste continued to work after she had finished her lunch. By now, Matthias had reached home, and she had thought of more new ideas.
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 101
The hot spring retreat was vast, and Celeste had no idea where Trevor and the others were. She didn't run into them when she went downstairs.Since the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, Celeste called on two staff members to help her and headed up the mountain.At this hour, the wind was a bit chilly, but she was dressed warmly and didn't feel cold. She spent some time enjoying the breeze and picking apples, which helped clear her mind.With so many people helping, it didn't take long to fill two or three cartons of apples.After they finished, she didn't head down immediately. The sunset was beautiful today, so she sat down to appreciate it for a while.Just then, she heard footsteps and the voice of a child.She turned her head and met Beck's gaze.He clearly hadn't expected to run into her either and hesitated for a moment.At that moment, the child on the video call excitedly exclaimed, "Ms. Rodriguez!"It turned out that Beck was on a video call with Shanice, showing he

Tonight's bonfire party featured stew, grilled chicken, and barbecued meat.The chicken stew was already simmering, and the grilled chicken was prepared. A long table beside the bonfire was filled with an array of top-tier, fresh ingredients, all prepped and ready to cook.The bonfire was already burning.Miles and the others had taken their seats around it.When Beck and Wynn returned, Wynn naturally sat down beside Trevor.Miles couldn't resist and had already started eating the marinated grilled chicken.Seeing that everyone had arrived, he was about to officially start eating but suddenly thought of Celeste.He turned to Jordyn and said, "Jo, go upstairs and invite your mom. Tell her there's delicious food here and ask her to come down and eat with us."Even though he figured Celeste would refuse, just like at lunch, it was still necessary to go through the motions.Wynn understood his intention as well. After all, they had done their part. Whether Celeste came down or not
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 103
Trevor let out a silent chuckle and said, "Got it."With that, he turned around and left.By the time he went back downstairs, Miles and the others were already eating. Seeing him return alone, they were all a bit surprised.Like Jordyn, they had assumed that since Trevor personally went to invite her, Celeste would never refuse.Beck asked, "She's not coming down?"Trevor replied, "No."Then, he turned to the staff assisting them and instructed, "Prepare a portion of the barbecue, grilled chicken, and stew. Then, send it upstairs to the missus."Wynn pressed her lips together at his words.Celeste refusing to come down and Trevor arranging for food to be sent up to her didn't necessarily mean anything.But, she didn't like hearing him refer to Celeste as the missus. It sounded like he was acknowledging Celeste as his wife.However, she soon reasoned that the staff at the retreat probably didn't even know Celeste's name. If he didn't refer to her as the missus, how would they

Due to the angle and height of the camera, the others in the video conference could only see that the person walking in from outside had a great physique and carried himself with an elegant and composed demeanor.Just from his presence alone, they could tell he wasn't an ordinary person. But they couldn't see his face.At first, people in the company assumed there was something going on between Celeste and Matthias.It wasn't until later that they found out Celeste was already married and had a child who was quite grown up.However, Celeste rarely spoke about her personal life. When it came to her husband, the team knew almost nothing.Because Celeste was stunningly beautiful, and the more they worked with her, the more they realized she was far more capable than they had initially thought—even more impressive than Matthias—everyone became quite curious.What kind of man could marry such a gorgeous, intelligent, and capable woman?Now, Celeste's husband had finally made an appea

However, Celeste didn't look up and continued discussing technical matters with the InnovaTech staff.Albert smiled. "Mr. Yoder, do you know Mr. Robinson and Mr. York?"Matthias replied, "Yeah."After all, they were all second- or third-generation elites in Baumond's upper circles, so naturally, they knew each other.It was just that he had taken a different path from them, so they weren't particularly close.After exchanging brief greetings with Matthias, Jorge and Xavier followed Albert to another area to discuss their business.Wynn, however, stayed with Matthias.She had also noticed Celeste, but after just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze, uninterested, and refocused on Matthias."Mr. Yoder, did you just arrive?" she asked.Matthias was highly capable in his own right, and on top of that, he was Zachary's student.Even though she could tell that he held some bias against her because of Celeste and had always been somewhat cold toward her, she still wanted to mai

Maybe because he saw how exhausted they were, Zachary let Matthias and Celeste go home early that night.After a long day, Celeste took a shower as soon as she got home and went to bed early.…There was something that needed their attention at InnovaTech the next day.In the afternoon, Celeste and Matthias found time to make a trip there. As soon as they arrived, they started discussing technical issues.Not long after, Jorge and Xavier walked in, led by InnovaTech staff. Both of them looked surprised to see Celeste.Xavier raised an eyebrow. "She's actually an employee at InnovaTech? What a coincidence."Jorge shrugged. He didn't even really know her, so how would he know if she worked at InnovaTech?Hearing their conversation, one of the InnovaTech staff members said, "Are you talking about Ms. Rodriguez? She's not an employee here. She's a tech specialist from YodaVision, and she's here today to help with some technical issues."Sensing that someone was looking at her, Cel

Wynn was momentarily stunned before she pressed her lips together.This wasn't the answer she'd wanted.Zachary was about to push the door open and leave when Wynn quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Newman, how do you think I should improve?"Zachary paused for a brief moment and replied indifferently, "Do more research. Keep up with the latest developments in the industry."Just as he finished speaking, Trevor returned.Before he could say anything, Zachary stated, "I've done what I needed to do. I'll contact you in a few days.""Alright."With that, Zachary left.Trevor looked at Wynn and noticed her expression wasn't great. "Didn't go well?"Wynn nodded frankly. "He didn't accept me.""What did Mr. Newman say? Tell me about it."Wynn recounted the entire conversation, including Zachary's evaluation and advice."You're definitely capable," Trevor said. "And I think his advice is quite fair."Wynn paused. Lately, she had indeed spent less time diving into professiona

After watching Jordyn and Beck leave, Trevor and Wynn also got into their car and headed to the restaurant.A few minutes after they arrived in their private dining room, Zachary also arrived."Mr. Newman." Seeing Zachary push the door open, Trevor and Wynn both stood up to greet him.Zachary showed no surprise upon seeing Wynn.Wynn politely reintroduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Newman. My name is Wynn Locket. We met before at the technology exhibition—""I know." Zachary's expression remained neutral as he briefly shook her hand.After he had sat down, Wynn took the seat beside him and said, "I greatly admire you. I've always hoped for the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the AI industry face-to-face.""Mm."At that moment, Trevor's phone buzzed. He stood up and said to them, "I need to take a call. You two go ahead and talk."Wynn nodded.After Trevor had stepped out, Wynn picked up the menu and handed it to Zachary. "Mr. Newman, shall we order first and discuss t

It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather.At that moment, Celeste's phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lottie, asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon.Celeste replied via voice message, "I have things to do today, so I won't be going. You go ahead and have fun.""Alright then."In the evening, while Celeste stepped out of Zachary's study to get some water, Lottie sent her another message.This time, it was a few photos. And the people in the photos were none other than Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, Beck, and Shanice.Then, Lottie sent another message: "My friends and I were having such a great time skiing, but then we ran into them. Totally ruined the mood!"Celeste only clicked on one photo. Once she confirmed who was in them, she didn't bother looking at the rest.Seeing Lottie's complaint, she calmly replied with a voice message, "Just enjoy yourselves and ignore them."Lottie qu

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste's hesitation, Beck said, "I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle."Hearing this, Celeste asked, "Are you sure?""I'm sure."Celeste knew Ivan's company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Alright.""Let me know when you're free, and I'll arrange a time to meet.""Alright," Celeste replied.At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, "The night wind is chilly. You should head inside."Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.Beck remained where he was.As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.Only after watching her car disappear into the distance did Beck get into his own car and leave.Betty, Ivan
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 133
Jordyn wrapped her arms around Celeste's neck, burying her small face against it to shield herself from the cold wind.Celeste's clothes were soft and warm, and Jordyn snuggled into her embrace, rubbing her face against her neck with enjoyment.Trevor was always punctual. By the time Celeste carried Jordyn to the parking lot, his car had pulled in.Seeing them, the car stopped right beside Celeste.Even though her dad had arrived, Jordyn didn't get down from Celeste's arms. Instead, she playfully said to Trevor, who had lowered the car window, "Dad, carry me inside."Trevor didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car and took Jordyn from Celeste's arms.Happily, Jordyn swung her legs in the air while nestled in his hold.As Trevor leaned in to take her, Celeste caught a familiar scent—Wynn's perfume.When he had been sitting beside her earlier, he hadn't smelled like this.This meant that after leaving them, he had gone to the Shaw family.Trevor looked at her and said,

Zachary said, "Sure."Trevor nodded and turned to Celeste. "Are you going home tonight?"Celeste had still been going over the conversation between Trevor and Zachary in her head. When he suddenly spoke to her, she paused for a moment before responding, "No."Trevor nodded again. "Got it." Then he stood up and said, "I'll come by later to pick Jo up."That meant he was leaving.Celeste replied coldly, "Got it."Trevor didn't say anything else to her. Instead, he walked over to Betty and said, "Madam Klein, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."Betty didn't stand up, and her tone was equally cold, "Sure. I won't see you off."Trevor didn't seem bothered by her indifference. He turned to Ivan, gave him a slight nod as a form of greeting, and then left the banquet hall.Outside the hotel, Beck had just stepped out of his car when he saw Trevor walking out. His movements stalled for a brief moment.Trevor quickly got into his car and drove off.Beck watched but re

Neither Celeste nor Trevor spoke again.Celeste's younger cousins had rarely seen Trevor before. Now that they were seeing him in person, they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.As someone who had held a position of power for years, Trevor exuded authority effortlessly, even without trying. When he noticed their gazes, he glanced at them briefly.Unable to meet his eyes, they instinctively looked away, not daring to stare any longer.Trevor showed no reaction to this, nor did he make any effort to exchange pleasantries. He simply shifted his gaze away, calm and indifferent.Trevor was the man Celeste loved. She had thrown herself into this love headfirst, and after all these years, she still couldn't escape.Given the way Trevor had treated his own niece for so long, it was impossible for Ivan not to harbor resentment toward him.However, what could he do?The Rodriguez family was powerless against Trevor.Now that Trevor was here, as the host, Ivan had no choice bu
