The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 424
Three days after Jordyn started staying at the Rodriguez residence, her phone rang in the evening just as Celeste was in her room drying her hair.Seeing the caller ID, Jordyn happily turned to Celeste and said, "Mom, it's Dad calling!"Celeste gave a soft hum, and Jordyn answered the call, putting it on speakerphone. "Dad!"Trevor asked, "Have you had dinner?""I have!"After some small talk, he got to the point of his call. "Tomorrow is the day we planned to go out with Wynn. I'll be sending someone to pick you up soon."Even though Celeste had been busy with work and hadn't spent a lot of time with her, these past few days had still been very happy ones for Jordyn.She wasn't quite ready to leave. So, her first instinct was to say, "Dad, I don't want to—"But she suddenly paused, as if something came to mind, and changed her mind. She lowered her voice and said, "Okay, but Dad, you have to come pick me up yourself."Trevor, indulgent as ever when she acted spoiled, chuckled

That night, when Celeste got home, Jordyn was already asleep in her room.After washing up and getting into bed, Celeste felt Jordyn instinctively snuggle into her arms and sleepily mumble, "Mom, you're home?""Mm, go back to sleep."There was no reply.Celeste looked down and realized she had already fallen asleep again.…The next day, Matthias went off to discuss a potential partnership, while Celeste went to Fleming Group with a group of engineers.That morning, Celeste spent a long time discussing technical topics with others. When the conversation was wrapping up, she turned and suddenly noticed that Trevor had been standing not far from her, listening as she spoke.She paused briefly, then looked away and said to the others beside her, "Regarding what I just mentioned, there are actually a few excellent academic papers on the topic. Would you like to check them out?""Sure, absolutely."Celeste then listed the titles and authors of the papers.After she finished and

The next morning, Celeste drove back to YodaVision after dropping Jordyn off at school.She had already met with two heads of companies working on autonomous vehicles through Matthias previously. But after speaking with them, she felt neither was a good fit.To find a more suitable partner, she and Matthias attended a cocktail party that evening.They arrived fairly early and chatted with a few people.Before long, they spotted Trevor and Wynn.Celeste and Matthias quickly looked away.Perhaps their reaction was too obvious, but Trevor and Wynn made no move to come greet them either.A little while later, Jorge and Xavier arrived as well.Upon seeing the two pairs—Trevor and Wynn, and Celeste with Matthias—Jorge first walked over to Celeste's side and greeted them."Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez, long time no see."It had been a while since they'd last seen Jorge. Celeste and Matthias both nodded politely, but their expressions remained indifferent.They still didn't care much fo

As Isabelle's condition was in the early stages and her organ failure not yet severe, Lauren and her medical team were able to make several adjustments based on her overall health and condition.In the end, they managed to find a treatment plan that could stabilize her illness.When the news came, the tension that had been gripping Celeste and Betty finally eased. The dark cloud that had hung over the Rodriguez family for half a month had finally lifted.That night, overwhelmed with joy, Betty even cooked dinner to celebrate with everyone.After dinner, just as Celeste sat down with Betty in the living room, Celeste's phone rang—it was a call from Jordyn.It had actually been over a month since mother and daughter last spoke.Strictly speaking, Celeste should have answered the call the last time Jordyn tried. But at that time, she had just found out about Isabelle's organ failure. Her mood was terrible, so she didn't answer the call.Now…When she saw the caller ID, Betty said,

When Celeste saw Howard, there wasn't a trace of surprise on her face.The city's smart traffic project was crucial to the Locket family's tech company, and yet she had swooped in at the last moment and taken it. How could they possibly sit still and do nothing?Besides, this wasn't going to be the last time she made a move like this.She would strike again when the time was right.Now that the bidding had ended and the project was in YodaVision's hands, there was no way the Locket family could snatch it back.So, if she guessed correctly, Howard had come to see her to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.And how would he try to persuade her?By appealing to emotion, of course. Because that would cost nothing.But Celeste had no interest in playing along with such false sentimentality.She turned around and cut Howard off when he was about to speak."I remember what happened the last time. Madam Locket said in front of everyone that I'm not her granddaug

It wasn't just Wynn and Howard. When the other bidders saw Celeste and Matthias, they more or less realized that all their efforts had likely been for nothing.And that was exactly the case.As everyone waited, the results were quickly announced. The smart traffic project was awarded to YodaVision.Celeste and Matthias weren't surprised at all by the outcome. They had more important matters to attend to and had no intention of lingering.As the two of them walked past Howard and Wynn without even sparing them a glance, the expressions on the father and daughter's faces—which were already grim—grew even darker.Since moving to Baumond, the Locket family's company had been running fairly well thanks to Trevor's support.Because of Wynn's connection to him, many people in their social circle were aware of their company.However, that recognition was mostly limited to within their circle. They had yet to establish a solid reputation on a broader, public level.The main reason for t
