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

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 1
When Celeste Rodriguez arrived at the airport in Andostan, it was already past 9:00 pm.It was her birthday that day. Therefore, she received a bunch of birthday wishes from her colleagues and friends when she turned on her phone. However, there was no message from her husband, Trevor Fleming, at all.Celeste's smile faded.By the time she reached the villa, it was already past 10:00 pm.Hannah Lynd, the housekeeper, was startled when she saw her. "Oh, Mrs. Fleming… Why have you come here?""Where are Trevor and Jo?" Celeste asked. "Mr. Fleming hasn't returned yet, and Ms. Fleming is in her room, playing," Hannah replied.Celeste handed her luggage to Hannah. When she went upstairs, she found Jordyn wearing a pair of pajamas and sitting at her table, fiddling with something. She was so focused that she didn't even notice anyone entering the room."Jo?" Celeste called out.Jordyn turned her head when she heard her. In a happy tone, she greeted, "Mom!"Then, she turned back

At around 9:00 pm, Trevor and Jordyn returned home.Jordyn clung to the hem of Trevor's coat and got out of the car sluggishly. Because Celeste was at home, she was reluctant to return that night.But Wynn had said that Celeste came specifically to be with her and Trevor, and if they didn't return, she would be sad. Trevor also said that if they didn't go home that night, Celeste would definitely insist on joining them on their outing to the sea the next day.Reluctantly, Jordyn agreed to come home.Still worried, she muttered gloomily, "Dad, what if Mom insists on tagging along with us tomorrow?""She won't," Trevor replied confidently.In all the years they'd been married, Celeste had always tried to find ways to spend more time with him. But she was also sensible. As long as he made his stance clear, she wouldn't dare make him upset.In Jordyn's memory, Celeste always listened to Trevor. Since he said she wouldn't, she felt reassured. As a result, her mood lifted. She made he

Zeke was one of Trevor's personal secretaries. When he saw Celeste's resignation letter, he was extremely surprised.He was one of the few in the company who knew about the relationship between Celeste and Trevor.Anyone familiar with Trevor knew that he didn't love Celeste. So, he had been cold to her and rarely went home after their marriage.To get closer to and win over Trevor, Celeste had chosen to work at Fleming Group.Her initial goal was to become his personal secretary, but Trevor refused vehemently. Even when Arnold stepped in, he couldn't get Trevor to agree. In the end, Celeste had to settle for a position in the secretarial team, becoming one of Trevor's many ordinary secretaries.At first, Zeke had worried that Celeste's presence in the secretarial team would create chaos. But to his surprise, she didn't bring them any trouble. Although Celeste used her position to get closer to Trevor, she was mindful of her timing and never overstepped her boundaries. On the con

Jordyn jumped out of bed in excitement. "Really?""Yes, really," Trevor replied."Then why didn't Wynn tell me just now?""It was just finalized. She doesn't know yet."Jordyn was ecstatic. "Dad, let's keep this a secret from Wynn. We'll surprise her when we go back to the country, okay?""Alright.""You're the best, Dad! I love you so much!"After hanging up, Jordyn was still overjoyed. She sang and danced on her bed.After a while, she suddenly thought of Celeste. For the past few days, she had been in a great mood because Celeste hadn't called her. In fact, to avoid talking to Celeste, she had deliberately left home early and even turned off her phone or kept it far away from her after school.But after two days, she was worried that Celeste might get angry if she found out. So, she stopped doing that. To her surprise, Celeste hadn't called at all in the days that followed.At first, she thought Celeste had discovered that she was deliberately avoiding her calls. But then

Over the years, Matthias and Celeste had rarely seen each other. Yet, even from just a few encounters, Matthias could tell that she was no longer the confident and spirited person she had once been.Matthias thought back to the Celeste he knew from the past. He could never have associated the word "insecure" with that individual. He didn't know much about Celeste's marriage to Trevor, but he was completely clueless about her sorry state which was essentially an open secret.He had his suspicions but didn't voice them. Instead, he sincerely encouraged, "Falling behind for a time doesn't matter. Your ability and talent surpass that of most geniuses. As long as you're still passionate about this field, it's never too late to start again."Don't forget that you were our teacher's favorite student throughout his entire career."Celeste smiled as she listened to him. "If he heard that, he'd probably scoff and say that he didn't have much of a choice and could only settle on the least bad

The next day, Celeste unexpectedly ran into Trevor at the company. She hadn't known that Trevor and Jordyn had returned to the country. Caught off guard by their sudden encounter, Celeste froze mid-step.Trevor also seemed slightly surprised to see her, but he assumed she had just returned from the business trip and didn't think much of it.He passed by her coldly, his face expressionless. As usual, he treated her like she was a stranger and turned to enter the building.In the past, if Celeste had found out that he'd suddenly come back, she would have been overjoyed. Even if she couldn't throw herself into his arms in such a scenario, she would have been very happy and excited. Her eyes would light up as she greeted him. Even if Trevor remained indifferent, she would have smiled and wished him good morning enthusiastically.But now, Celeste merely glanced at his handsome face before lowering her eyes. There was no longer any trace of the joy and excitement she once felt.Trevor

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

After the people from Youtopia recognized Betty, they noticed that the Lockets and the Shaws didn't say anything about her presence.It became clear to them that the Locket family didn't want the past between the Rodriguez and the Locket families to be widely discussed.Seeing this, even though some people recognized Betty, none of them stepped forward to greet her.Instead, some shifted their attention to Wynn and Calvin.One guest even smiled and said to Erin right in front of Celeste and Betty, "Madam Locket, your grandchildren are so outstanding—in both looks and demeanor. You are truly blessed."Indeed, Wynn and Calvin were the pride of both Erin and the entire Locket family.Erin didn't spare Celeste another glance.Upon hearing the compliment, she looked lovingly at Calvin and Wynn and smiled, "You're exaggerating."Whatever she said next, Celeste didn't hear. She and her family had already moved past the crowd and walked away.As for Trevor, after the initial moment sh

"Isn't that so?"Jorge, Miles, and the others were also present.They didn't know about the grudges between Celeste and the Lockets and Shaws, so when they heard Erin say the guests had mistaken someone for her granddaughter, they didn't react much.Neither Harvey nor Lennox said a word in defense of Celeste.Linda watched it all with a deep sense of satisfaction.Janet looked like she wanted to say something, but with so many people around, she didn't dare. She just lowered her head in silence.Just then, Betty, along with Jamie and Hector, walked out of the elevator."Celeste?"As soon as they stepped out and saw the crowd, Jamie and Hector hadn't even had time to react before they spotted Celeste, who was about to leave.Hearing Hector's voice, Celeste turned her head and saw her grandmother and younger siblings.Soon, Betty and the others also saw Trevor.But at the same time, Betty also spotted Harvey, Lilian, and the rest of the Locket family.Celeste pressed her lips
