The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

Once she was done discussing Wynn’s proposal, Celeste asked, “What about Fleming Group’s proposal?”

Matthias rubbed his nose lightly. “Well, you know, Trevor is in the same industry as us, so he’s pretty tech–savvy.

Besides, Fleming Group was financially strong

Their tech experts were highly sought after in the industry.

Not to mention that Trevor was an expert himself.

Thus, the proposal he sent over wasn’t just good–it was on a whole different level.

Perhaps that was why he could remain unruffled and only now make his move for a partnership.

It didn’t really surprise Celeste when she heard that.

She said, “Just assess the situation objectively when you make the decision.”

After all, working with a top–tier team took a lot of worries off the table.

Whatever had happened between her and Trevor was insignificant compared to the project.

Jorge came to YodaVision in the afternoon.

And this time, Matthias didn’t go and meet him.

Since Jorge didn’t manage to see anyone, he soon left on his own.

Then, Beck came.

Matthias and Celeste went to meet him together.

As they finished reading through Beck’s new proposal, they exchanged a glance.

–

Realizing their thoughts aligned, Celeste extended her hand to Beck and said, “Let’s make this a successful partnership, Mr. Harper.”

Beck noticed that Celeste had the final say over YodaVision His gaze briefly flickered between her and Matthias before he stood and shook hands with both. “Looking forward to it. I believe this will be a great collaboration.”

Then, they dove straight into the contract details.

As evening fell, they neared an agreement on the initial terms. Just then, Celeste’s phone rang.

Jordyn’s name flashed on the screen–two calls back to back

Celeste dismissed them outright, and Jordyn didn’t try a third time.

Trevor, on the other hand, answered the call from Jordyn.

He went back home half an hour later.

Jordyn was on an IV, looking pale in bed, Seeing Trevor, she mustered just enough energy to murmur, “Dad….”

Trevor sat by the bed. When he noticed the sheen of cold sweat on her forehead, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully. “Does your stomach still hurt?”

“Slightly..

Though it was still quite painful to her.

Trevor didn’t scold her for eating something bad. Instead, he picked up on her low mood “Want me to ask Wynn to come by?” he asked.

In the past, she wouldn’t have hesitated to agree.

But this time, she held onto Trevor’s fingers, shook her head, and whispered, “I want Mom to come back.”

Jordyn adored Wynn. Yet, even when her mother could get on her nerves sometimes, she was still the first person. Jordyn wanted to see when she wasn’t feeling well.

More than anything, she wanted Celeste to be the one by her side now.

Upon hearing that, Trevor replied, “Okay.”

He let Jordyn hold his hand as he used the other to call Celeste.

Celeste had just finished discussing the contract details with Beck, and they were about to go for dinner.

She thought of the two missed calls from Jordyn when she saw Trevor calling. After hesitating for a quick while, she answered the call, “Hello?”

“Jo has mild food poisoning, and she’s currently on IV at home: She wants to see you,” said Trevor.

Celeste’s fingers tensed around the phone. “Got it. I’ll come back now.”

As soon as she hung up the call, she turned to Beck. “Sorry, something just came up. We’ll have to do dinner another day.”

Catching the shift in her expression and voice, Beck asked, “Did something happen to Jo?”

Celeste nodded.

“Is it something major?”

Trevor didn’t explain much, so Celeste wasn’t sure either. “She’s probably okay now.”
