The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 877
After saying that, the host of the banquet turned to Conrad and introduced them. "Mr. Mercer, these two are Mr. Yoder and Ms. Rodriguez of YodaVision."Conrad nodded and shook hands with Matthias and Celeste. "Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez. I've heard a great deal about you both.""You're too kind, Mr. Mercer."After exchanging pleasantries, Conrad got straight to the point. "My company does have a project we'd like to collaborate with you on. I was hoping to speak with you both privately for a few minutes. Would that be convenient?""Of course," Matthias replied.Seeing that they had business to discuss, the host excused himself.Conrad had brought along one of his company's scientists. After the introductions, Celeste and Matthias began discussing the project with him.Conrad apparently had no background in AI. He listened while they discussed the details, occasionally interjecting when they touched on key points. From the looks of it, he didn't have a particularly deep understandi
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 876
Recalling the indifferent expression on Conrad's face earlier, Wynn shook her head before answering Lilian, "We've only met once. I wouldn't say we know each other."It had been more than half a month since their last encounter. So, Wynn assumed that Conrad had already left Baumond, never expecting to run into him again here at the restaurant.…That evening, after work, Celeste and Matthias attended a dinner hosted by one of their business partners.Once they were in the car, Celeste rubbed her temples.She had spent most of the past two weeks working on the development of a new project and had barely been in touch with Jordyn. So, she called her daughter after thinking of this.Jordyn hadn't contacted her much either over the past two weeks, but when Celeste called, she answered almost immediately."Mom."Celeste smiled. "Mm. Have you had dinner?"Jordyn asked, "Yes. Are you off work, Mom?""I am, but I still have a few things to take care of."Celeste then paused for a mo

Celeste nodded. "I'll be leaving now. Remember to let Jordyn know when she wakes up."Trevor looked at her. "Okay. Aren't you going to have breakfast before you leave?""No."Trevor didn't insist. He got up and said, "I'll see you out.""There's no need to trouble yourself."Trevor said nothing, but followed her anyway, personally seeing her to the door. It was only after her car had completely left the driveway that he turned around and headed back inside.A little over ten minutes later, Jordyn woke up too. When she went downstairs, she looked around for Celeste."Your mom had something to take care of, so she left first," Trevor told her."Oh, okay..."The moment Jordyn had woken up and found Celeste no longer beside her, she had already guessed that this might happen. She just pursed her little lips and went to the dining room without saying another word.Trevor sat down beside her and felt her forehead."Your fever's completely gone. Is anything else bothering you? If y

Trevor took the bowl from Celeste. After feeding Jordyn a couple of spoonfuls of oatmeal, he turned to Celeste. "The kitchen should have prepared some other food as well. Why don't you go downstairs and have something to eat?"Celeste wasn't actually hungry.However, she and Trevor really had nothing to talk about. So, it was probably better for them to avoid being in the same space whenever possible, especially in front of Jordyn.She nodded and turned to her daughter. "Jordyn, I'll be going downstairs to get something to eat. I'll come back up after I'm done."Jordyn replied, "Okay."Celeste said nothing more and turned to leave.It was only after Celeste had disappeared through the doorway that Jordyn looked away. The smile on her face faded, and she raised her eyes to look at Trevor.Perhaps he could tell she had something to say. He wiped the corner of her mouth for her and asked, "What is it?"Jordyn pursed her little lips, clutching the blanket with both hands. In the en

Hannah smiled. "Alright. I'll bring the food upstairs."With that, she went downstairs.Trevor looked at Jordyn. "Are you sure you don't want me to keep you company?"Jordyn glared at him. "I said no!"Celeste felt that the two of them needed some time alone, so she turned to Jordyn and said, "I'm going to make a phone call. I'll be back in a little while."Jordyn nodded. "Okay."Celeste turned and left the room.Of course, she had no phone call to make. Instead, she went out to the balcony by the window and stayed there for a few minutes.By the time she returned to Jordyn's room, Trevor was gone, and Hannah had already arranged the food on the table.The kitchen had specially prepared some oatmeal for Jordyn. Along with it came several other dishes, making quite a spread.But Jordyn was sick and had no appetite. Even the oatmeal was difficult to swallow. So, after just a few mouthfuls, she looked listless and wanted to go back to sleep.Since she was tired, Celeste let her

Matthias recognised Trevor's number too.He snorted. "What's he calling for? Is he going to ask you to plead with Velotra on the Locket family's behalf? Has he really sunk that low?"Celeste said nothing and answered the call.Before she could speak, Trevor spoke first. "Jo's had a fever all day. If you're free tonight, could you find some time to come and check on her?"Celeste frowned. "She's had a fever for that long? How is she now?""She's still on an IV drip, and her temperature hasn't come down yet.""Understood. I'll go over later.""Sorry to trouble you."Celeste said nothing before ending the call. She finished handing over her outstanding work, then left YodaVision.When she arrived, Hannah heard she was back and hurried out to greet her. "Mrs. Fleming, you're back!""I'm going upstairs to see Jo."Upstairs, Jordyn had just finished her IV drip and was sleeping in a daze. Celeste entered the room and sat beside the bed, looking at Jo's furrowed brows as she gently
