The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 238
After Jordyn left, Celeste went upstairs, turned on her computer, and got to work.About an hour later, Jason sent her some documents to review.Celeste opened them and looked through them. The first thing that caught her eye was the three newly added properties, with their specific locations clearly marked.She paused when she saw the details.All three properties were vacant units in the Rodriguez family's residential neighborhood, and they were relatively close to the Rodriguez residence.To be honest, although Trevor had previously helped her buy the house in front of the Rodriguez residence, that alone didn't completely put her at ease.After all, Betty loved going out for walks. Even if the Shaw family no longer lived right across from her, as long as they were in the same neighborhood, they would inevitably run into each other.That had always worried her. But now…Looking at this new agreement—was Trevor trying to eliminate her concerns once again?Even though he was l

Celeste and Betty stayed with Martha for about half an hour before Trevor said, "I'm stepping out for a bit."During that time, Trevor had mostly remained a silent observer, barely speaking.Hearing this, Martha scoffed, "Just go then."Trevor left the hospital room. But once he was gone, he didn't return for over half an hour.Earlier, Samantha had been there, making sure the fruit, pastries, and tea were all well taken care of.After Samantha stepped away for a moment, Celeste noticed that Betty's tea had gone cold. So, she picked up the small teapot and went over to the table, intending to brew a fresh pot of tea.Seeing Celeste personally handling the tea, Martha suddenly thought of Trevor.She frowned and muttered, "Trevor really is something… I don't know what he's off doing, but he's been gone for so long."When Trevor had said he was stepping out, Celeste didn't pay much attention to it. But hearing Martha's complaint, she suddenly recalled that Wynn was still downstair

Celeste and Betty walked toward their car.Just as they were about to get in, Wynn stepped out of a nearby vehicle."Oh, so she hasn't left," Betty said and glanced at her before withdrawing her gaze.Celeste had thought Betty didn't notice Wynn earlier, but apparently, she had.As she watched Trevor walk over to Wynn, Betty seemed to remember how he had left the hospital room for over half an hour earlier.She remarked, "Their relationship seems to be quite good."Celeste fastened Betty's seatbelt without responding.Just as she pressed the gas pedal and was about to drive away, she saw Tucker running out of the hospital.He had probably just spotted Wynn as he looked both surprised and excited as he quickly ran over to them.Celeste took one glance before withdrawing her gaze and driving off.…"Trev!" Tucker ran over, his eyes locked onto Wynn. "You… You're really CC! I-I thought I was seeing things!"Wynn knew that Trevor had a younger brother in high school. But they h

Celeste had just driven away from the hospital when Betty suddenly recalled something. "Trevor made it to the hospital, but what about Jo? Where did she go?"Before Celeste could speak, Betty's expression darkened right away. Celeste could tell from her expression that she was unhappy about Trevor leaving Jordyn behind while he and Wynn came to the hospital to see Martha. "Don't worry. He'll take good care of her," Celeste said. However, Betty wasn't convinced. "If he keeps this up, Cel, take him to court. No matter what, you have to get custody of Jo!" Celeste paused for a brief moment before she spoke flatly. "Okay."Betty remained displeased. She got out of the car as soon as they arrived at the Rodriguez residence. Just then, Celeste's phone rang. It was a call from Jordyn, but she didn't pick it up. Maybe it was because she hadn't spent much time with Jordyn these past few months and had been missing her calls, but over the last two days, she could clearly sense

Celeste murmured a reply. Jordyn paused, realizing that Celeste might not know who Shanice was, and quickly added, "Shanice is my friend—she calls Mr. Harper her uncle."Celeste responded softly, noticing how eager she was to share. "What did you guys do?""We explored a maze!"Celeste listened without much reaction, but Betty's expression grew stern. When Trevor took Jordyn back, she thought he would be looking after Jordyn himself. It was only now that she realized Trevor wasn't taking care of Jordyn himself. Instead, he was focused on dating Wynn and would rather leave her with someone else than let Celeste care for her. Betty's face soured. Jordyn had no clue what Betty was thinking. Then, she added, "Mr. Harper asked me to stay for dinner, but I want to come back, so I called you."Celeste nodded. "Did you thank him then?" she asked. "Yes, I did!" Jordyn replied cheerfully. Celeste didn't ask any further. Since Jordyn had finished her homework, she stayed in

Even though YodaVision had sealed the deal with Jorge and Beck, certain aspects of the business still lacked suitable partners. To accelerate the search for the right partners, enhance the company's exposure, and push for growth, YodaVision had been organizing an investment conference, which officially took place on Monday morning. After dropping Jordyn off at school in the morning, Celeste headed to the hotel for the conference. By the time she got there, Matthias and the others were already present.Celeste was set to take the stage shortly as the company's core engineer to deliver a speech and answer the media's questions. Hence, she was going over the agenda backstage with Matthias. Just then, Beck arrived.He had only been seated for a moment when Jorge also showed up. About 20 minutes later, Matthias and Celeste went upstage to give their speeches. Jorge appeared engaged during Matthias's speech, yet when Celeste stepped forward, a frown crept onto his face. Was

However, everyone thought she was just being humble.After a brief moment of celebration, the team settled back into work. Wynn knew YodaVision had a press conference this morning. She was just too busy to look it up online. Then, she grabbed her phone and searched for news about the conference. "Did you attend the press conference this morning as well, Mr. Robinson?" she asked Jorge."Yeah."She was watching the video seriously, and the screen happened to be displaying Celeste's presentation on YodaVision's products and technology. He observed Wynn's expression and noticed that she looked composed, without any hint of displeasure or irritation toward Celeste. Remembering Celeste's hostility toward Wynn on Christmas and comparing it to Wynn's demeanor now, he was even more convinced that Celeste couldn't match Wynn's level of composure. Just as he was about to speak, Albert leaned over and commented, "I watched parts of YodaVision's press conference, and I have to say, t

After hanging up, Harvey set down his phone. As he watched the YodaVision press conference playing on the huge screen, he pressed his fingers against his temple, feeling the weight of his concerns. Linda lounged as she enjoyed the fruit. However, watching Celeste command the stage with such ease at a major event unsettled her. With a scowl, she turned off the TV. "Why does she get to be the one up there? She's stealing all the attention.""That's not the point," Lilian said. As far as she was concerned, Celeste was just benefiting from Matthias' influence. A speech at the press conference? So what? That was nothing but a superficial moment in the spotlight. What truly mattered was YodaVision's technology. That was the real prize. Harvey caught on to Lilian's meaning. Sure, Celeste spoke well at the event, but when it came to YodaVision's technology, he, Wynn, and Lilian all believed that Matthias had fed her the information beforehand. There was no way she genuinely un

Bryson, unaware of the grudge between Celeste and Wynn, followed up on Rodney's words and said, "Yes, we were just discussing some new developments in the industry."Ms. Locket also studied AI—more minds mean more ideas. It would be great if Ms. Locket joined the discussion."Wynn responded, "Oh, I see..."As she spoke, she glanced over at Celeste.After finishing the serious work discussions, Celeste had planned to leave. But unable to resist Rodney and Bryson's enthusiasm, she stayed and chatted with them for a while longer.Now with Wynn's arrival, she finally had an excuse to excuse herself.She stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I have something I need to attend to. Mr. Fleming, Professor Leonard, Professor Milford, let's chat again next time."Besides Celeste's recently published paper, a few other companies in the AI field had also made significant technical breakthroughs lately.When they were chatting earlier, Celeste had quickly grasped the core of those break

Celeste nodded and sat down on the sofa by the coffee table.Trevor then instructed, "Have someone bring us some coffee."Zeke replied, "Already taken care of."Just as he finished speaking, Naomi came in carrying coffee.When she saw Celeste, she froze for a moment. "Ms. Rodriguez?"Naomi had been the one to take over Celeste's job after she left Fleming Group. Since then, they had basically had no contact.Celeste nodded with a smile, "Long time no see.""Long time no see." Naomi smiled too. But given the situation, it wasn't really appropriate for her to chat too much.She placed the coffee carefully in front of both Celeste and Trevor, and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something and turned back to report on some work matters.After listening, Trevor said, "Got it. I'll have time this afternoon. Tell him to come by before three.""Okay." Naomi answered, then smiled and nodded politely at Celeste before hurrying out.Celeste watched her leave, slowly stirr

After they finished playing golf, Celeste and the others still had other plans.Trevor and Wynn had joined midway, and perhaps guessing that Celeste and the others had other arrangements that they might not be suited to join, Trevor took the initiative to say, "We have some other plans later, so we won't keep interrupting everyone's fun."Hearing this, Rowan and Theodore didn't insist on keeping them and said, "Is that so? That's fine. Let's meet up again next time when we're free."Trevor smiled and nodded before leaving with Wynn.Matthias had actually been a bit worried that Trevor and Wynn might tag along for their meal afterwards.Seeing Trevor leave on his own initiative, he felt a little relieved and whispered to Celeste, "At least he knows when to back off."Celeste smiled and hummed a response.…After they had walked a distance, Trevor finally asked, "Upset?"Having stumbled twice today, Wynn was indeed feeling down. Especially seeing how much Rowan and the others li

The group chatted while playing golf.However, it was obvious that Theodore and Rowan were far more interested in the topic they were discussing than in the game itself.At first, they talked about international affairs. As the conversation went on, Theodore and Rowan ended up simulating a battle arrangement right there on the spot.As they got more and more into it, Celeste and Matthias simply stood by and listened, along with Trevor and Wynn.Maybe not wanting the younger ones to just stand around, Rowan said, "Why don't you join in and share your thoughts?"After a moment, Celeste spoke up, "With strong enemies on all sides, it's not suitable to charge in alone. So for now, staying put would be a good choice."Hearing this, Wynn paused.She had to admit, it was a good idea. If Celeste hadn't said it first, she honestly wouldn't have thought of it herself.Just as that thought crossed her mind, she saw Rowan smiling and nodding in agreement.Matthias reacted quickly too. He

Rowan said to Trevor, "Since you're here, why don't you stay and join us for a while?"Trevor replied, "Sure."After exchanging a few pleasantries with Trevor, Rowan turned back to Harold, Matthias, and the others and asked, "Where were we just now?"Matthias answered, "We were discussing how we should appropriately handle the situation if we discover a foreign probe entering our controlled area."Hearing this, Wynn couldn't help but start thinking about it too.Rowan smiled and asked, "What do you think? Cel, do you have any thoughts?"Earlier, Matthias and Celeste hadn't had time to really think about it before Trevor and Wynn showed up.Now that Rowan asked again, Celeste and Matthias both paused briefly.When Wynn heard Rowan call Celeste by her nickname, she suddenly got distracted.Cel? Rowan was addressing Celeste so intimately.Moreover, she noticed that whenever Rowan looked at Celeste, his demeanor was very warm and kind—he genuinely seemed to admire her.She frown

After dinner, Jordyn followed Celeste back to the Rodriguez residence.That night, she received a call from Rowan, inviting her and Matthias to play golf the next morning.Celeste agreed. However, when she saw the address Rowan sent, she hesitated for a moment.The golf course happened to be a property owned by the Fleming family. She had been there before.Still, since she had already agreed, it wouldn't be appropriate to back out now.…Early Saturday morning, she drove out as planned.When she and Matthias arrived at the golf course, Rowan, Theodore, and Harold were already there.Seeing them, Rowan and the others greeted them with a smile, "You're here."Celeste nodded.Rowan asked, "Do you know how to play golf?"Celeste nodded again. "I've learned a bit."After some polite small talk, they began playing golf while chatting casually.Not long after, just as Celeste was putting away her club, she saw two people walking toward them from a distance.It was Trevor and Wy

Although Celeste and Matthias had already asked Candice to politely decline Cayden's request for a meeting, he still showed up uninvited two days later.Since he had come in person, Celeste and Matthias couldn't completely refuse to see him.They gave him a brief, symbolic reception, but after chatting for just over ten minutes, they politely sent him off.After that, whenever Cayden tried to arrange another meeting, they simply ignored him.With Celeste and Matthias maintaining a firm stance, and unable to meet with them, Cayden invited Wynn out for a meal the next day instead.During the meal, Cayden chatted with her about the developments in the industry for a while before saying, "If you had joined YodaVision last year, you would've grown so much by now. What a shame."At their last meeting, Cayden had asked about her current situation. After hearing she hadn't gotten into YodaVision, he didn't comment much.But now, recalling the matter, he couldn't help expressing his regr

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
