On Thursday night, Celeste and Matthias, who had just returned from a business trip, attended a banquet together.
As soon as they arrived, she spotted Wynn and Linda.
They had noticed her too.
The moment Linda saw her, her expression soured. She snorted and muttered to Wynn, "Why is she everywhere?"
Celeste paid them no attention. After she and Matthias chatted briefly with the host of the banquet, she saw Kieran approaching them.
Kieran had gotten an invitation after learning she would be attending the event.
That evening, Celeste wore a sleek, form-fitting black gown with a simple cut, paired with her long, straight, dark hair.
Not only did she look cool and composed, but she also carried an air of mystery. She was stunning and eye-catching.
It seemed that every time he saw her at a banquet, she managed to impress him all over again.
He had been at the previous two events as well, so Celeste wasn't surprised to see him this time. She simply said, "You're here too?"
Kieran quickly masked the amazement in his eyes and replied, "Yeah."
It was said that Dane Tanner would also be attending tonight's banquet. He was a good friend of Cayden's. The two were equally well-known for their contributions to AI.
During her PhD studies, Wynn had met Dane twice.
They weren't close, but they knew each other.
Upon hearing that Dane was present, Wynn approached to greet him. "Mr. Tanner, long time no see."
Dane gave her a small nod.
Seeing that he still remembered her, Wynn smiled and wanted to continue the conversation.
However, Dane, clearly uninterested, turned his head before she could say anything and asked his assistant, "Well? Are Rodriguez and Yoder here yet?"
Meanwhile, Dane had reached Celeste and immediately introduced himself. He said, "I've read your paper multiple times—it's absolutely fascinating."
After shaking hands, Celeste replied, "Mr. Tanner, you flatter me."
Her paper had only been published a few days ago, but organizers from several top international AI conferences had already sent her invitations, hoping she would attend.
Celeste, however, had politely declined them all.
Since she wouldn't travel abroad, Dane had decided to fly in himself to meet her.
Now that he finally saw her, he launched enthusiastically into conversation. He started with her paper, then quickly expanded into other AI-related topics.
Whether it was the history of AI or trends in its development, Celeste responded with calm fluency.
When Dane mentioned who had published which paper in what year and on which topic, she could immediately follow up by highlighting the brilliance of that work and naturally referencing two or three related papers.
She extracted the core ideas and engaged Dane in a deep and informed discussion.

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....
