As soon as the words were spoken, a knock sounded at the private dining room door.
It was Miles and Beck.
Miles pushed the door open, and upon seeing how many people were already inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa, so many people?"
This restaurant was owned by his family.
He and Beck had just come over for a meal. After hearing from the restaurant manager that Trevor was dining here, they decided to drop by and say hello—they didn't expect such a large gathering.
And on top of that, it was full of familiar faces.
Seeing so many people there, Miles instantly felt that just the two of them dining alone would be no fun, so he asked, "Trevor, since there are already so many here, do you mind if Beck and I join as well?"
Trevor turned and asked, "Professor Milford, Mr. Yoder, I wonder if—"
Since Rodney had just voluntarily invited the Lockets and the Shaws to join, Trevor couldn't very well refuse his own friends.
Rodney replied graciously, "Of course, I don't mind. I wonder what Mr. Yoder thinks?"
Matthias smiled and said, "Mr. Harper and Mr. Quinton are old acquaintances of mine, I don't mind at all."
Originally, Matthias had been a bit displeased about the Lockets and the Shaws tagging along.
But now?
He almost wished the whole world would cram into the private room—how could he possibly mind two more?
Meanwhile, Linda, who had been wanting to see Beck for a while now, couldn't hold herself back once she finally laid eyes on him. She stood up and said, "Beck, come sit over here with me."
But Beck ignored her, and, along with Miles, had the server add two chairs next to Trevor.
They had barely sat down when another knock came at the door.
This time, it was Jorge and three core engineers from his company. His company was also involved in the Fleming Group's project.
"I see," Jorge nodded, then turned to Wynn. "For Professor Sweeney to personally message you about this—he must really hold you in high regard."
Wynn smiled modestly, saying, "I'm deeply honored by the professor's mentorship. I'll keep working hard, and I'll be sure to study the recommended paper thoroughly—I won't let him down."
With both Rodney and Cayden showing her such recognition, Jorge was genuinely happy for her. At the same time, he felt even more admiration—and fondness—for her.
It was clear he was reluctant to take his eyes off her with the way he looked at her. But since Trevor was present, he eventually looked away.
Wynn, of course, could sense Jorge's growing interest in her.
She still hadn't forgotten that Beck didn't personally attend her grandmother's birthday, and she was a bit bothered by it.
She glanced over at him, only to find him sitting there quietly drinking tea, not even looking her way, nor reacting to all the compliments being showered on her.
Her brows furrowed slightly before she turned away.
Once again, Wynn had become the center of attention, much to the delight of the Lockets and the Shaws.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
ok im done im not reading this trash anymore its repetitive celeste finally speaks and its less than 5 words.this isn't good at all and now we're getting the netizens pov but not hers. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION EXCEPT HER AND TREVOR...
I’m not liking where this is headed.. I’m getting the sense that the author is following the revenging husband storyline and Trevor did all this just to avenge his wife...
Isn't this a company that Celeste and Matthias work for? This will be a fatal blow to those scoundrels....
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what happened to Jo... What is the story behind that court summons?...
A court summons? Oh my God, what happened?...
Here we go again…drip-drop. One page a day instead of the promised 5 Chapters and even that stops suddenly so we never know if the story will advance. I swear this author is writing the new page on their lunch break and laughing at us when we get frustrated....
I feel like reading the novel from everyone else's perspective, but the main characters. There has never been a glimpse on Trevor's side of thoughts or intentions. He feels like a ghost in this whole storyline. Although i am glad that Mathias revealed the truth about Celeste, but it still feels empty without main character's thoughts or feelings or voices being shared....
