Semua Bab The Breaking Point of Love: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Wynn replied politely, "That's very kind of you to say."Harry then glanced at the group and teased, "Looks like it's time for you guys to step up, too."Just then, Harold arrived with Celeste and Matthias in tow. He turned to Harry. "Father, meet the youngest Yoder. His company, YodaVision, has seen remarkable growth and is on the government's priority list for future support." He continued, "This is Celeste Rodriguez, the core technical developer at YodaVision and a rare talent in the field. The company owes much of its success to her." People of the older generation often had a greater concern for the future of the country. Hearing Harold's words, Harry's smile softened as he remarked, "That's wonderful. With the talent we have, there's a lot to look forward to."Harold also took the opportunity to introduce Betty to Harry. Then, Harry and Betty started chatting about art. Having been raised in a cultured household, Betty regularly practiced calligraphy and painting.

Trevor put away the glass and responded, "The honor is mine, Mr. Keller Senior."Then, he settled into the seat across from Brandon. "Mr. Keller Senior, please go easy on me."Wynn, Beck, and the others came over to spectate the match. Celeste and Matthias joined the crowd as well. However, they were standing behind Brandon. Wynn, Beck, and the others knew how to play chess. Seeing Celeste watching intently, as if she was familiar with chess, Beck headed over to her. He asked, "You play chess?"Celeste answered, "A little bit."With that, Matthias went speechless.A bit? More like a whole lot. But he didn't say that aloud. Since they weren't familiar with each other's playstyles, Brandon and Trevor started off with cautious, unclear moves. Over time, they seemed to grasp each other's tendencies, and Brandon adopted a more offensive strategy. Trevor, on the other hand, was countering Brandon's aggressive moves and searching carefully for his own openings. It loo

Brandon smiled. "Indeed. It's not bad at all."Upon finishing his words, he asked again, "Aren't you busy with your painting? Why are you here?""Well, I didn't want you to think that I wasn't a good host, so I came over to take a look.""Go take care of your stuff; don't disturb me while I watch the match."However, Harry stayed. When the Shaws and Lockets heard Brandon and Harry praise Wynn, smiles spread across their faces. A lot of people there knew Wynn, and many felt both envious and jealous of her. After all, Wynn had the looks and the credentials. And now, thanks to her chess skills, she caught the attention of Harry and Brandon. Besides, Wynn's charm had earned Trevor's affection, helping both the Shaws and Lockets rise effortlessly in status. What parent wouldn't want a daughter like that?With envy, someone remarked to the Lockets and Shaws, "What a fantastic daughter and granddaughter you have.""Exactly!" the others agreed, then asked, "How did you manage t

From then on, Wynn started paying more attention to Celeste's moves. When she saw Celeste resolve the tricky situation Trevor had set up for her in a way she hadn't anticipated, she felt a sense of unease. Hearing Brandon's praise, her heart sank even lower. Celeste was fully absorbed in the game, blocking out everything around her.She was holding her ground for now. However, she knew that winning was almost out of reach. Thus, she paused for a second, looking at Trevor. Trevor made another move. And Celeste halted her movements. Harry chuckled. "This is incredible. I never imagined I'd witness such an amazing game here, especially played by two young ones. Well done!"Brandon was frustrated since he broke his concentration. "Shush, shush!"Harry was at a loss for words. After a few minutes, Celeste made her move, subtly shifting the game back to her advantage. Two minutes later, Trevor countered with a move. Then, Celeste set the chess piece down and said, "I l

That wasn't a good sign. Hence, they wanted to talk to Celeste about it. Harvey spoke first. "Cel, I…"Before Celeste could respond, Matthias chuckled and interrupted, "Mr. Locket, are you here to announce your relationship with Cel?"Harvey's smile faltered, and then he awkwardly laughed. "Mr. Yoder, I need to talk to Cel for a moment, can you…"Matthias cut him off. "If you're eager for everyone to know about your relationship with Cel, you're welcome to say anything."Harvey didn't want to upset Matthias. Hence, he could only leave with Lennox. However, before he left, he turned to Celeste. "I'll call you later tonight. Don't forget to pick it up."Celeste remained silent. She couldn't be bothered with him. As for the call, there was no way she was answering it. Matthias was frustrated. "Man, I really want to just lash out at him."How could Celeste not feel the same? The problem was, when it came to her situation with Trevor, she had never been able to prove h
