The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 289
Wynn officially owned InnovaTech's shares now. She wasn't here earlier because she was in a meeting with Trevor. "Hi, Wynn." Linda walked over with a smile. She gave Celeste a sidelong glance and snickered. Then, she whispered, "She received flowers and was gloating about it, but I told her that a lot of men sent you bouquets and that Trevor transferred the company shares to you. She couldn't think of anything to say after that."Wynn glanced at Celeste when she heard it, but she remained quiet. Linda added, "Wynn, you told me that Matthias doted on her. However, all he did was send her a bouquet on Valentine's Day."Wynn raised an eyebrow. Was that all Matthias did? If that was really the case, then it was truly a half-baked attempt on his side. After all, Celeste had major authority in YodaVision Co. Now that Wynn could compare herself with Celeste, she realized that things might not have been what she imagined. If Matthias really cared about the latter that much, he woul

With that said, Jorge no longer felt that surprised to see Celeste at a place like this when he noticed that Matthias and Zachary were there. Theodore didn't expect to run into his own son here, either. He asked, "Are you here for a business meetup as well?"Jorge responded, "Yeah."Kael chuckled and asked, "Theodore, is he your son?"Theodore grinned and responded, "Yeah.""He looks outstanding and is exceptionally talented. He's a fine man."Needless to say, Jorge also knew just who Kael and Rowan were. They were extremely busy most of the time. Although Theodore was quite close to them, he had never seen them in person. Jorge noticed how Kael took the initiative to greet him, and he politely shook the latter's hand. "You're too kind."Then, he saw Wynn and Harvey getting out of the car, and he was stunned. Wynn and Harvey were rooted to the spot when they noticed Jorge, Zachary, Rowan, and the others. Aside from Jorge, it was extremely difficult to see the rest of them i

So, faced with Zachary's indifference, Wynn didn't take it to heart.After greeting Zachary, she politely took the initiative to greet Rowan and the others, saying, "Good evening, gentlemen."She addressed them collectively rather than individually, which was the more appropriate approach. After all, Rowan and the others hadn't made any effort to get to know her. If she had greeted them one by one, it would have felt more like an intrusion to them.Kael and Rowan's attention was entirely on Celeste.Like Caleb, they had also noticed Celeste's apparent dislike for Harvey and Wynn.Kael even had detailed information about Celeste. He had recognized Harvey and Wynn the moment they showed up.When he heard Wynn greet them, Kael simply gave a small nod before turning to Zachary and Celeste. "Let's not just stand around here. We should head in," he said.Zachary nodded, and the group turned and entered the restaurant.Theodore turned to Jorge and reminded him, "Don't drink too much

Meanwhile, in the private room, Kael smiled and said, "We've met plenty of prodigies over the years, but someone like you, Cel—so young yet already achieving so much—is still a rare find. That's why Rowan and I both wanted to meet you. I hope it's not been a bother."Despite his high status, Kael spoke with such courtesy that Celeste responded respectfully, "Not at all. It's truly my honor to meet you."Rowan chuckled and said to Kael, "Alright, don't go scaring the kid."Both he and Kael genuinely felt that Celeste was an exceptional young talent with limitless potential. They were impressed and optimistic about her future, which was why they had wanted to meet and get to know her.Kael and Rowan both spoke with warmth and politeness, and with Harold and Theodore also present, the atmosphere in the room was quite pleasant.After dinner, the group stayed and chatted for another hour.Only after exchanging contact details with Kael and Rowan did they finally part ways.Monday mar

Besides, they still had Trevor.Given how much Trevor valued Wynn, if the two of them got married in the future, then the Locket and Shaw families would quickly rise to another level. By then, the Rodriguez family probably wouldn't even have a place near them.Thinking of that, Ruby smirked and glanced disdainfully in Celeste's direction before heading off with the others to help Calvin move into the boys' dorm.After helping Jamie settle her luggage, Celeste left the school and returned to her own place.She had only just walked in when there was a knock at the door—it was Tilda and Sylvia, the mother and daughter duo. They had just returned from their hometown and, upon seeing that Celeste was back, came over especially to drop off some local specialties.Celeste accepted them and said, "Thank you.""You're welcome!" Sylvia replied sweetly.Then she pulled a small ornament from her pocket. "I set this aside especially for Jordyn. Tomorrow, when school starts, I'll bring it to

Matthias followed her gaze and saw Trevor and Wynn as well.The Yoder family didn't have much of a relationship with the Fleming family, so Matthias had actually never been to Fleming Manor before and didn't even know it was nearby. Seeing Trevor and Wynn, he curled his lip slightly. "What are they doing here?"Celeste withdrew her gaze and said, "That's the only road leading into Fleming Manor."Matthias froze for a second, then suddenly realized, "So, Trevor brought Wynn back to meet the Fleming family?"Before Celeste could say anything, Matthias let out a disbelieving laugh. "Your divorce papers aren't even finalized yet, and he's already bringing her to the manor? What's the rush?"It did seem like Trevor was in a hurry. But she knew that he had actually tried bringing Wynn to meet the Fleming family a long time ago. It was just that Martha had refused to allow it, and with Arnold seriously ill at the time and opposition from all sides, Trevor had been forced to compromise.

Trevor replied quickly this time, "Alright, got it."On Saturday morning, Celeste drove to the Yuvenhart manor. Most of the Yuvenhart family lived overseas, so when she arrived, aside from a few maids, only Gideon was home.When he heard she had arrived, Gideon personally came out to greet her. "Cel's here?""Yes," Celeste smiled. Seeing that he looked fairly well, she felt a bit more at ease, but she still couldn't help saying, "You've lost quite a bit of weight."Gideon chuckled. "I have, but I'm in good spirits—don't worry about me."They entered the house, and Gideon offered her some tea. When he saw she had come alone and Trevor wasn't with her, he didn't ask about him either. From that alone, Celeste could tell he was already aware that she and Trevor were preparing for divorce.Not only did Gideon not ask about Trevor, he also didn't bring up Jordyn—which meant he likely already knew that Celeste didn't have custody either.Since he didn't ask, Celeste didn't bring it up.
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 296
Gideon was truly angry.He ignored Trevor completely and looked at Celeste instead. "Come on, Celeste. I'll take you out for a meal."Celeste set down her teacup and stood up. "Alright."With that, Gideon didn't spare Trevor another glance and left with Celeste.Trevor remained seated on the couch, calmly, sipping his tea. He neither got up to follow them nor tried to stop them from leaving.Wynn looked at their backs as they walked out. "This—"Trevor said, "It's fine. Just give it some time."In other words, after enough time passed, Gideon would accept reality and slowly start accepting her?…Gideon had witnessed the state of Celeste and Trevor's marriage during the first two or three years after they got married. He had seen clearly from the start that Trevor didn't like Celeste. And now, Trevor had someone else he cared for.Though Trevor had always had a good relationship with elders like Martha and Gideon, he was never someone easily swayed by them. So, even if they d

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
