The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 41
When Trevor and Miles arrived at the private room in the restaurant, Wynn and Jordyn were already there.Wynn asked, "What's making you smile so happily?"Miles smiled and said, "Nothing, I just ran into someone quite interesting."After dinner, Trevor and Jordyn went home.Getting out of the car, Jordyn happily ran upstairs, calling out, "Mom, Mom…"Hannah heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen. "Mrs. Fleming hasn't returned.""Huh?" Jordyn was disappointed. "Why has Mom been so busy lately?" Then, she went upstairs, grumbling.Seeing Trevor standing still, Hannah asked, "Mr. Fleming?"Trevor shook his head. "It's nothing."Then, he went upstairs as well.That night, Trevor noticed that Celeste hadn't returned.The next morning, when Jordyn woke up, she thought she would get to eat the breakfast Celeste prepared again.Seeing the breakfast on the table that didn't look like Celeste's cooking, she frowned. "Mom didn't get up to make breakfast?""Mrs. Fleming is no

Thinking of that, Celeste replied, "Got it. I'll be back soon."That night, Celeste made honey garlic spare ribs for Jordyn and also prepared some soup. She stayed over for the next two days.On Friday, Betty called, asking her to come home for dinner. So, Celeste took Jordyn to the Rodriguez family home.However, only Betty was at home. The others were either out socializing or still in school.Betty didn't know that Jordyn had returned to the country. Seeing Celeste bring her along, she was pleasantly surprised.Jordyn was quite close to Betty and quickly won her over, making her very happy.That night, Celeste and Jordyn stayed at the Rodriguez family home.The next morning, Celeste got up early to make pancakes.Watching her skillful movements, Betty couldn't help but sigh, remembering how Celeste had never done housework before she got married.Celeste knew what Betty was thinking and smiled. "Cooking helps me clear my mind. I actually enjoy it."Celeste had gained a lit

Jordyn must have been having too much fun with Wynn because she didn't contact Celeste at all over the weekend.On Monday, Celeste went to work at YodaVision as usual. Right before getting off work, Lottie called and invited her to dinner.During the meal, Celeste went to the restroom and ran into Beck.Without pausing, Celeste acted as if she hadn't seen him and walked straight past him.However, Beck stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at her.Celeste noticed it but ignored him.When she exited the restroom, she saw that Beck was still standing at the same spot where they had crossed paths earlier, as if he had been waiting for her.Seeing her come out, he turned his head and asked, "Here for dinner?"It seemed as if he had been waiting for her on purpose."Yes," she replied coolly. Then, she added indifferently, "Does Mr. Harper think I followed you here again?"Beck hesitated before saying, "That's not what I meant."Celeste didn't know what he meant. Nor d

Ruby immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this Cel? Long time no see. You're getting more and more beautiful.""Mom…" Hearing Ruby compliment Celeste, Linda was displeased.She had always known that Celeste was beautiful, but after not seeing her for a few years, she didn't expect her to be even more stunning.Looking at Celeste's smooth, delicate skin and outstanding temperament, jealousy surged in Linda's heart.However, she quickly consoled herself—so what if Celeste was beautiful? Her future brother-in-law didn't like her anyway. He only loved her sister, Wynn.With that thought, she felt a little better.Harvey looked over and said, "Ruby, what brings you here?""We hadn't seen you in a while, Uncle Harvey, so we came to check on you," Linda interjected.Then, she noticed the open brocade box the store owner had just displayed. So, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Uncle Harvey, is this the wedding anniversary gift you customized for Aunt Lizzy? It's so beautiful
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 45
After walking some distance, Lottie looked at Celeste with concern. "Cel…"Celeste shook her head and said lightly, "I'm fine."From the moment Harvey had divorced her mother, he had stopped being her father. What pained her was how her presence had added to her uncle's burdens.As for Trevor's favoritism. Thinking about how Trevor only cared about Wynn, how ruthless he was toward Matthias and Ivan for Wynn's sake, and how he had never considered her feelings, it felt like a knife was stabbing into her heart.The pain was unbearable."Cel…" Lottie hugged her, feeling her own heart break for her dear friend.Celeste forced a smile but didn't say anything. It was fine. She had already decided to move on. She just needed a little time. She could do it."Want to grab a drink?" Lottie thought Celeste needed to relax.But, Celeste shook her head. "No."Rather than drinking, she preferred going home to work on her data. That was when she could truly calm down, relax, and regai
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 46
In Lennox's view, Celeste was simply jealous that Wynn had taken Trevor away, which was why she was deliberately obstructing Wynn from joining YodaVision.Celeste had neither talent nor knowledge—all she did was stir up trouble. Just thinking about it made Lennox scoff.She figured it wasn't just her—Trevor probably thought the same way, didn't he?Unfortunately, Celeste herself was completely oblivious to this. Perhaps even now, she was still smug about ruining Wynn's opportunity.Thinking about Wynn's brilliance and then comparing her to Celeste, Lennox became even more convinced that the two were simply not on the same level.Harvey sighed. "I know." He shared the same thoughts as Lennox."But she just won't listen.""She really is…" She was just as stubborn as her mother.Lennox didn't say this out loud—after all, anything related to that person was never pleasant to discuss."Regarding Cuap…""Let's wait until Wynn comes back and ask her about it." Harvey was highly in

Trevor owned multiple companies and was always busy.For the next two days, he was away on business, leaving Jordyn alone at home. Feeling bored, she couldn't help but call Celeste again.Having been occupied for two days, Celeste had already moved on from what had happened that day. So, when she saw Jordyn's call, she answered."Mom, when are you coming home…"Upon learning that Trevor wasn't home, Celeste went back after work that evening.Jordyn was overjoyed when Celeste returned. She clung to her, excitedly sharing amusing stories from school and telling her all about the new game she had recently become obsessed with, insisting on teaching Celeste how to play.As long as she had finished her homework, Celeste was generally willing to spend time with her, playing whatever she wanted and indulging in her interests, as long as they weren't harmful.After watching Jordyn play twice, Celeste teamed up with her for over an hour.That night, Jordyn was in high spirits. When it w

"No. Mom, come home and then go with me! The hot spring retreat is so far away, and it'll be so boring to go alone," Jordyn said.Celeste hesitated for a moment. Perhaps, she could go with Jordyn. "…Alright."YodaVision was currently developing a new app, and after dinner, Matthias called her to discuss some technical issues.While Trevor and Jordyn were chatting in the living room, Celeste stepped outside to take the call. The conversation lasted half an hour.Jordyn looked up at her and couldn't help but say, "Mom, you've been getting so many phone calls lately. You talk for so long every night. You weren't like this before…"Hearing this, Trevor lifted his gaze toward her.Peter also realized that.After all, Celeste had never been someone who made frequent phone calls, let alone ones that lasted this long.Could it be that she was having an affair? No… that couldn't be, right?Considering how deeply she felt for Trevor, that didn't seem likely."It's just about work," Cel

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

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,
