Chapter 147
Of course, that was just a joke. There was no way Matthias would actually let Celeste pay.
Besides, he was also worried that Zachary might find out he had taken Celeste out drinking at a bar. So, after settling the bill at the counter, he left with her.
The next day at noon, Celeste drove to Zachary’s villa to pick him up.
Once Zachary got in the car, she asked, “Mr. Newman, where are we going?”
Zachary gave her an address.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a restaurant. A waiter led them to a private dining room.
When they pushed the door open, two men were already seated inside. Both were middle–aged men with imposing presences.
Seeing them enter, the two men stood up. “You’re here.”
Zachary, as indifferent as ever, introduced them, “Theodore Robinson, Harold Jennings. My student, Celeste Rodriguez.”
Celeste had seen them in the news before. One held a high–ranking position in the military, while the other was a major figure in politics.
But despite their status, their demeanor toward Celeste was warm. They extended their hands to shake hers.” We’ve heard a lot about you.”
Although Celeste was a little caught off guard, she remained composed and shook their hands respectfully. ” That’s something I should be saying to you.”
Theodore and Harold chuckled and gestured for her to sit.
Once she was seated, Theodore said, “We’ve heard about you for years. We’ve always hoped Mr. Newman would introduce us, but everyone’s been busy, and there was never a chance.
“Recently, our team has been studying the system you developed, and since we happen to have some free time these days, we thought we’d invite you to a meal and finally meet you in person.”
After some polite conversation, they began discussing more serious topics–systems, chips, energy….
Zachary just sat quietly, eating and drinking tea, rarely joining in.
Over an hour later, Theodore poured Celeste a cup of tea, which she quickly accepted.
He set down the teapot and gazed at her with deep, experienced eyes. Yet, his expression remained gentle. “If I remember correctly, Cel, you’re in your 20s, right?”
Celeste nodded. “Yes, I’m 25.”
“Young indeed.” Harold, catching on immediately to Theodore’s meaning, interjected with a smile, “Do you have a boyfriend?”
Celeste froze for a moment before answering, “I’m married” Though she’d get a divorce soon.
But given who she was speaking to, it wasn’t appropriate to discuss her personal affairs, so she didn’t elaborate. Theodore and Harold were clearly surprised. However, they were not ordinary men.

Chapter 147
When Celeste mentioned she was married, a flicker of emotion passed through her eyes–subtle but telling. It suggested her marriage had issues. Which meant there was a good chance she’d be divorced.
That meant their sons might still have a shot.
There was no shortage of prestigious young ladies eager to marry into the Robinsons and Jennings.
Typically, even the daughters of wealthy families would struggle to gain entry into their circles, let alone a divorcee.
But Celeste was different. She was far too talented.
With the technology YodaVision currently possessed, the company’s growth in the coming years would be unstoppable.
Not to mention, Zachary’s position would very likely be passed down to her in the future. In other words, Celeste’s potential was limitless.
And beyond all that, despite her young age and remarkable achievements, she remained composed and graceful, without a trace of arrogance–an extremely rare quality in someone so young.
The more they observed her, the more they liked her.
Zachary, who had been listening in silence, finally lifted his gaze and shot them a cold, warning look.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
