The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 322
A moment later, Trevor answered the call. "School's out?""Yes."Trevor then asked, "Missing Mom?""Yes.""You didn't call her?""No."Trevor chuckled and said, "Go ahead and call her. She should have time to answer today."Jordyn's eyes lit up. "Really?""Really. Call her.""Okay!"After hanging up, Jordyn quickly dialed Celeste.When Celeste saw the caller ID, she paused for a moment.Although she had seen Jordyn twice recently—once when Martha fell down the stairs and was hospitalized, and another time at the Yoder family's house—those encounters didn't count toward their usual once-a-month meetings.Aside from those two incidents, it had actually been over a month since they last met.Thinking of this, she answered the call. "Jo, are you out of school—"Before she could finish, Jordyn, thrilled that she had actually answered, excitedly called out, "Mom!"Her voice was filled with joy.Celeste froze, her hand gripping the mouse stopping in place.It took her two se

After dinner, Jordyn mentioned something that made Celeste realize Trevor was away on a business trip.At around 9:00 pm, while Celeste was taking a shower, her phone rang.Jordyn saw that it was Beck calling and answered it. "Mr. Harper."Hearing her voice, Beck paused slightly. "Jo."Before Jordyn could continue, Celeste stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing her, Jordyn handed her the phone and said, "Mom, it's Mr. Harper.""Okay." Celeste took the phone, but before she could speak, Beck beat her to it. "I hope I'm not disturbing you?""No."Beck said, "I'm out of town right now, so we'll have to reschedule our dinner for another time.""That's fine."After hanging up, Celeste was about to dry her hair when Jordyn suddenly looked at her in confusion.Noticing her gaze, Celeste asked, "What's wrong?""Mom, you know Mr. Harper too?""Yes.""Okay."…The next morning, Celeste went downstairs to make breakfast.About half an hour later, as she was heading back upstairs, she

Over the years, the Locket family's tech company had been struggling, constantly losing money due to a lack of core technology and high-level talent.To help them solve this issue, Trevor had spent a significant amount of time during his business trip overseas recruiting a few top-tier tech experts for the Locket family's company.With his support, the Locket family's business would likely improve in the near future.However, none of this had anything to do with Celeste. If she still had lingering feelings for Trevor, knowing about this would only upset her.So, Beck chose not to mention it.After lunch, since Beck had other matters to attend to, they went their separate ways.…On Monday, the transfer of InnovaTech's shares to Wynn was finalized.Celeste and Matthias found out about it because the moment the news broke, the industry group chat they were in immediately shared the information.Whether it was the luxury villa worth over 600 million that Trevor gifted to Lilian o

Beck still continued to ignore Linda.Just then, someone happened to come over and greet him. The person also knew Celeste and Matthias, so the four of them started chatting.Linda was left standing there, completely ignored. Her face grew increasingly awkward until she had no choice but to leave, humiliated.…Not far away, Miles glanced in their direction and remarked, "Beck seems to be getting closer to them." By "them," he was naturally referring to Celeste and Matthias.Wynn shared the same thought.After all, if Beck and Matthias were simply business partners, a quick greeting and some polite small talk would have sufficed at an event like this.Yet, Beck was engaged in a long conversation with Matthias and Celeste. It was starting to look like they were actually becoming friends.Of course, in Wynn's view, the reason Beck would consider befriending Matthias was that Matthias was indeed worth knowing. As for Celeste, she was just along for the ride.Hearing Miles' comm

However, neither Beck nor Kieran said anything.Celeste and Matthias were engaged in conversation with others and didn't notice the silent exchange between Beck and Kieran.Since Celeste hadn't eaten dinner, she excused herself after a while and headed to the buffet area for food.Kieran followed her shortly after and struck up a conversation.At the same time, Miles happened to be near the buffet. When he noticed them, he froze for a second, muttered "Shit," and then turned back toward Trevor and Wynn.He leaned toward Trevor and whispered, "That Kieran... I think he likes Celeste. The way he looks at her is... tsk!"Trevor followed Miles' gaze and saw Kieran talking to Celeste.The way Kieran looked at her—slightly tilting his head down, his eyes warm and filled with a deep intensity—was unmistakably the way a man looked at a woman he adored.Moreover, he was treating her with great care, taking the empty glass from her hand and setting it aside before reaching for a piece of
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 327
As soon as Beck approached, Kieran noticed him.His thin lips pressed together in displeasure, and his gaze toward Beck instantly turned cold.But Beck acted as if he didn't see it, continuing toward them without the slightest hesitation in his steps.He stopped in front of Celeste and naturally faced her. "What are you two talking about?"Celeste, unaware of the tension between them, casually replied, "Work-related stuff."The fact that Celeste could talk so easily with Kieran suggested that Kieran must be quite competent in his field. In other words, compared to him, Celeste and Kieran had more to talk about.Not to mention, Kieran was currently working at YodaVision. That meant Kieran had far more opportunities to interact with Celeste than he did.Thinking about this, the smile on Beck's face faded slightly.Just as he was about to speak, Matthias walked over.Seeing both Kieran and Beck standing next to Celeste, he found it a bit odd.However, he didn't dwell on it and s

Celeste ignored him, so Trevor didn't say anything else.Kieran had just walked out from the other side of the parking lot. Seeing them, he made his way toward Celeste."Morning."Celeste nodded. "Morning."Kieran paused for a moment before turning back to give Trevor a brief, indifferent greeting. "Morning."Trevor smiled. "Morning."Today, Trevor was here at YodaVision to discuss a business collaboration. As an important figure in the company, Celeste should have been the one to warmly receive a potential business partner.Yet, after Kieran greeted both Celeste and Trevor, he noticed that Celeste never once turned back to acknowledge Trevor. She simply walked straight ahead, showing no intention of playing the host.Was this attitude because of Trevor's relationship with Wynn?Thinking about this, Kieran glanced back at Trevor.However, Trevor didn't look the least bit upset about Celeste's treatment of him.Kieran didn't comment further.The four of them entered the elev

Trevor then added, "How about lunch together? My treat."Matthias had no interest in dining with him and replied, "I appreciate your offer, but I'm a bit tired today. I don't feel like going out. I'll just grab a simple meal at the cafeteria. You're welcome to do as you please."Trevor smiled. "Eating at the cafeteria is certainly more convenient. If you don't mind, how about we join you?"Matthias couldn't say anything.So, just a few minutes later, they found themselves in YodaVision's cafeteria.As the company's boss—combined with the fact that both he and Trevor were strikingly handsome—their arrival instantly drew attention.Celeste was already eating. And Kieran was sitting across from her.They were deep in conversation, so she didn't notice Matthias' arrival.It wasn't until she heard someone greet him that she instinctively looked up—only to realize that not only was Matthias here, but Trevor had also come to the cafeteria.Hearing the greeting, Kieran also looked ove

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
