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

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

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

Jorge asked, "Are you familiar with that woman?"Hearing him mention Celeste, Wynn's fingers briefly tightened on the keyboard. She instinctively thought he might be interested in her.Celeste was indeed beautiful. But recalling what she had overheard at the auction that day, along with Jorge's current attitude, she quickly realized she had been mistaken.Expressionless, she replied, "Not really. Why?"Jorge glanced in Celeste and Matthias's direction and said, "Judging by how she talks with Matthias, she seems quite capable."Wynn said indifferently, "I'm not sure, but I heard she only has a bachelor's degree.""Only a bachelor's degree?""Mm."That explained a lot. With a lower academic background than Wynn and lacking the same striking charm, it was understandable that she would feel insecure about Matthias being taken away.Jorge could understand Celeste's nervousness about losing Matthias.But seeing someone better than herself and instantly treating them as an enemy, al
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 141
Celeste knew that smile of his was a subtle jab at Jorge and nodded. "Mm."Wynn noticed that Matthias was genuinely good to Celeste and frowned.Although Jorge and the others had said they were busy and couldn't join the dinner, their work there was already done, so they headed downstairs with Celeste and Matthias, preparing to leave InnovaTech.At that moment, Wynn received a phone call. After hanging up, she said, "Trevor is almost here too. I'll leave with you."By the time they reached the ground floor, Trevor was already waiting outside.When he saw them, he got out of the car and greeted both Jorge and Matthias. He also glanced at Celeste but didn't say anything to her.Meanwhile, Wynn had already moved to stand beside him the moment he stepped out of the car. Seeing them together, they truly looked like the perfect couple.As Jorge exchanged pleasantries with Trevor, Matthias smirked slightly and said in a detached tone, "Mr. Fleming, we have dinner plans, so we'll be hea

Celeste paused and asked her, "When do you want to go?""Um…" Jordyn hesitated.Celeste knew she was waiting for a time when Wynn and Trevor weren't available so she could ask her instead. But she had no way of knowing when they'd be busy, which was why she was hesitating.Celeste withdrew her gaze and said, "It's okay. Just tell me when you want to go, and if I'm free, I'll take you."Jordyn beamed. "Okay!"Celeste was busy with work for the rest of the week.On Friday evening, she finished work early. Just as she got home and was about to make something to eat, her phone rang—it was Jordyn calling. She hesitated for a moment before answering."Mom, I'm free on Saturday! Let's go skiing!"Celeste had promised that Jordyn could let her know when she wanted to go skiing. But she didn't plan on taking her tomorrow.Her schedule for the day was essentially half a social obligation, and she didn't want to be distracted by taking care of her.So, she said, "I'm not free tomorrow.

Worried that they might get bumped into by other people, Beck stayed close to them so he could protect them.However, the crowd was just too large today.They had only been skiing for a little over an hour when two girls accidentally bumped into them.Shanice was fine, but Celeste ended up crashing directly into Beck.He instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her securely into his embrace.Pressed against his broad chest, Celeste froze for a moment and immediately felt uncomfortable. She tried to push him away, only to realize that her foot hurt.Beck didn't let go. "Did you twist your ankle?""I think… yeah."He called over a staff member to help Shanice and then bent down and picked Celeste up.She had assumed he would let the staff assist her. So, being suddenly lifted into his arms, she was caught off guard and instinctively resisted. "Put me down, I—"Beck interrupted, "The doctor is already waiting. Let's take care of your foot first."Celeste hesitate

Celeste drove off after the meal with Beck and Shanice. On the way home, she received a call from Lottie."Cel, where are you? I'm exhausted! Hurry up and come pick me up for dinner."Celeste didn't mention that she had already eaten. "Where are you?""Yorkshire Garden," Lottie said. "It's that classical courtyard-style residential complex developed a few years ago. I've been here all morning with my aunt, looking at houses. I'm dead tired.""Okay."After hanging up, Celeste adjusted her GPS and headed toward Yorkshire Garden.About ten minutes later, Lottie called again. "Damn! Guess who I just ran into?"Celeste paused. Lately, there was only one person who could make Lottie curse right off the bat."Trevor and Wynn with her whole family! He's here showing the Locket family around!"Staring straight ahead, Celeste's expression remained unchanged as she let out a neutral hum.Most of the time, when Trevor and Wynn went out, they would bring Jordyn along. So, the reason he ha

Celeste didn't care how Trevor thought of her or looked at her, nor was she interested.After leaving the restaurant, Celeste and Matthias' group headed back to Fleming Tech for a meeting.This time, Lilian and Linda didn't follow. But Wynn did.Seeing Wynn come along again, Matthias secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Fleming, about Ms. Locket—"Trevor seemed to know what he wanted to say.Before Matthias could finish, Trevor spoke up, "If you're concerned about confidentiality, you don't have to worry. If anything does happen, I'll take full responsibility."Matthias had expected him to say that. After all, when they first started working with InnovaTech, Trevor had said exactly the same thing.Even so, Matthias still needed clear assurance.Hearing Trevor's words, Matthias put on a half-hearted smile and said, "I feel better with your assurance."During the meeting in the morning, the seat at the center of the table was occupied by Trevor alone. Now that Wynn was here,

Before Trevor could respond, his phone rang.He stepped outside to take the call, and by the time he returned, the food was being served.Miles' question was left hanging—brushed aside just like that.Right now, the author of the paper that engineers in the country and abroad were scrambling to read was sitting right in front of them.As the meal progressed, Rodney and his students couldn't help but ask Celeste questions as they skimmed through the paper's core content and experimental data.Whether they asked about specific parts of the paper or about broader problems that had puzzled them in their own research, Celeste responded to everything fluently and confidently.Wynn watched in silence. Her heart was calm.Watching Celeste speak so assuredly with Rodney and the others actually seemed like she did know what she was talking about.But was that really possible?Given Matthias' capabilities, if he was willing to credit Celeste as first author, then he must have ensured she

It really was Celeste?Even though Jorge, Lilian, and Linda didn't specialize in AI and couldn't fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste's paper was, they did know one thing—Wynn's advisor, Cayden, was a major figure in the AI world.A world-renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper—personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly—was a huge deal.On top of that, Rodney's student had just said Celeste's paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad, with top engineers staying up all night to read it.All of this pointed to one thing: Celeste's paper had real weight. But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste?Rodney, not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws, hadn't read the paper yet.Still, just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long-text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited.He immediately turned to Matthias and asked,
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 382
Linda looked smugly at Celeste.Lilian also felt genuinely happy for her daughter. Celeste, as usual, couldn't even be bothered to look in their direction.She quietly lowered her head and sipped her tea, blending into the background, not participating in the discussion between Wynn and Rodney at all.Seeing Wynn receiving so much admiration from all these seasoned experts, Jorge finally felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.Just then, Cayden sent another message to Wynn."YodaVision is a truly astonishing and innovative company. Not only is its founder Matthias, but many of the engineers under him are highly creative. "I'll likely visit again soon. I hope to have an in-depth conversation with Matthias and some of his engineers."The NMI journal adopted a strict double-blind review process, where reviewers couldn't see the identities of the authors. So until now, Cayden had no idea who had actually written the paper he was so impressed with.Wynn saw his message and ass

As soon as the words were spoken, a knock sounded at the private dining room door.It was Miles and Beck.Miles pushed the door open, and upon seeing how many people were already inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa, so many people?"This restaurant was owned by his family.He and Beck had just come over for a meal. After hearing from the restaurant manager that Trevor was dining here, they decided to drop by and say hello—they didn't expect such a large gathering.And on top of that, it was full of familiar faces.Seeing so many people there, Miles instantly felt that just the two of them dining alone would be no fun, so he asked, "Trevor, since there are already so many here, do you mind if Beck and I join as well?"Trevor turned and asked, "Professor Milford, Mr. Yoder, I wonder if—"Since Rodney had just voluntarily invited the Lockets and the Shaws to join, Trevor couldn't very well refuse his own friends.Rodney replied graciously, "Of course, I don't mind. I wonder w

Exchange ideas? There was no way Matthias and Wynn could exchange anything meaningful.Of course, with so many people present, there was no need for him to say that out loud to Rodney. After all, he and Rodney were just casual acquaintances.Instead, he gave a perfunctory smile and said, "You're right, Professor."Rodney was pretty well-known in the AI field in the country.The Lockets and the Shaws also assumed that Matthias would look more favorably on Wynn because she was a student under Cayden, a leading expert in the field.And now, hearing how much Rodney admired Wynn, Linda looked smugly at Celeste.Wynn was a student under someone as prestigious as Cayden Sweeney. But Celeste? What was she? In front of Wynn, Celeste was nothing.That was how Lilian, Harvey, and the others saw it too.When Trevor called Wynn earlier, Lilian, Harvey, and the rest were all there.When they heard there would be a group lunch, they decided to drop by as well. But to be fair, they weren't t

As soon as she finished speaking, before Caleb could respond, Celeste's communicator rang.Seeing the message on the device, she quickly said, "Something urgent came up at the data center, I have to go," and hurried off.…The next morning, Celeste left the military base.After taking a day off to rest at home, she returned to work at YodaVision.YodaVision had officially begun its collaboration with Fleming Tech. The day she returned to YodaVision, Matthias happened to be heading there for a meeting.Previously, when negotiating the contract with Trevor, she could step aside and let Matthias or Joseph handle the discussions.But this new project between YodaVision and Fleming Tech required her direct involvement to move forward.This meeting was to discuss core technology cooperation between the two companies. So, after returning to YodaVision, Celeste accompanied Matthias to the Fleming Group.Along with them were Kieran and other technical staff.Just as they reached the m

Celeste quickly nodded to Zachary, then turned to Caleb and said, "Sorry, I can't go to the cafeteria with you."Caleb responded gently, "It's okay."With that, Celeste left.Caleb watched as she and Zachary walked away and then went to the cafeteria by himself. He hadn't taken a break in a while, and two days after meeting Celeste, his official leave began.During those two days, he hadn't seen her again.When he returned home, no one in his family knew he was on leave—everyone was busy with their own things and not at home.When Jorge heard he was back, he asked him out for a meal.While they were eating, Xavier couldn't help but gossip to Caleb."Didn't expect that Ms. Locket, the woman Jorge likes, turns out to be Cayden Sweeney's student. She's really something."Caleb wasn't familiar with the AI development and didn't know who Cayden was.Xavier knew that Caleb wouldn't know. He himself hadn't known either, until recently—thanks to Jorge, he'd learned a little.Caleb

Sunday was Mother's Day.Jordyn was driven over to the Rodriguez residence on Saturday by Trevor's driver.Her Mother's Day gift for Celeste was a handmade card, on which she had written, "Happy Mother's Day, Mom. Love you." in six words."Pretty, right? The teacher said I could ask Dad to help, but he's been too busy lately. I did everything myself—from the layout, drawing the patterns, to sticking on the little hearts."It had been a while since Celeste last saw Jordyn doing homework. Her handwriting had become noticeably more beautiful.Upon hearing this, Celeste looked at the card in her hands and suddenly remembered something from last year.She had flown all the way to Andostan to spend her birthday with Jordyn and Trevor, only to find that Jordyn was busy polishing a bracelet for Wynn.And from what Jordyn said, that bracelet had been a collaborative effort between her and Trevor.Celeste thought about all of this, but her expression didn't change.She slowly closed the
