The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 416
Isabelle's treatment plan wouldn't be ready so soon.
So, the next day, Celeste went back to work as usual after a visit to the hospital.
Kevin had flown in from another province to discuss business with her and Matthias.
At noon, Celeste and Matthias took Kevin out for lunch.
Their collaboration was already close to being finalized. So, while on the way, Matthias asked when Kevin planned to leave.
Kevin smiled and said, "I'll stay an extra two days this time, because I have another business meeting tomorrow."
Matthias asked with interest, "Oh? What kind of collaboration?"
"It's with InnovaTech."
Upon hearing that name, both Celeste's and Matthias's smiles faded slightly.
Kevin didn't notice their change in expression. He was unaware of the feud between YodaVision and InnovaTech.
Then, he continued, "InnovaTech made a breakthrough recently. I've heard people in the industry say their future development prospects look very promising.
"Yesterday, Ms. Locket from InnovaTech called and proposed a collaboration. I thought it sounded pretty good, so I agreed."
Lately, both Matthias and Celeste had been extremely busy and hadn't had time to keep up with such news. Now, hearing this out of the blue, their expressions darkened.
After glancing at Celeste, Matthias finally said, "Is that so..."
They chatted a bit more and soon arrived at their destination.
After lunch, just as they were about to leave the restaurant, they ran into Wynn and her group in the elevator.
"Mr. Locket." Seeing Wynn and Howard, Kevin greeted them warmly.
They didn't expect to run into Kevin, Celeste, and Matthias either.
When Kevin greeted them, Howard and Wynn smiled and responded, "Ah, Mr. Thatcher!"
After some polite small talk, Kevin looked at Celeste and Matthias. "Ms. Locket, these two are—"
Matthias gave a faint smile. "No need to introduce us. We're acquainted."
Kevin chuckled, "Right, we did meet last time. My memory's really failing."
He couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Locket and Ms. Locket, your company is developing so well. It's truly enviable."
Wynn and Howard smiled modestly at the compliment.
Ever since InnovaTech's tech department recently overcame a major bottleneck, the news spread quickly. InnovaTech's autonomous vehicle project suddenly gained a competitive edge in the industry.
Now everyone in the field was predicting that if things continued smoothly, InnovaTech could be worth over ten billion in the future.
When they got back to the office, just as they were discussing their upcoming meeting, they were suddenly informed that the final compensation payment of over 100 million from InnovaTech had already been transferred.
Matthias paused. "They raised the money this quickly?"
Celeste replied, "Looks like it."
They both fell silent.
After a while, they returned to discussing work.
Later that afternoon, just after a meeting, Celeste suddenly got a call from Lottie.
"Cel, did you hear about InnovaTech?"
"I did."
"That bitch's got some serious luck. If InnovaTech's autonomous vehicles really turn out to be that competitive, then wouldn't that mean—"
Celeste gripped her mouse tightly. Before she could speak, Lottie continued, "And I heard that your scumbag father's company is also doing better.
"They might even win the government's smart traffic construction project for the transportation platform. If they actually land that project, then Locket Tech will make a name for itself.
In other words, Trevor had single-handedly helped both Wynn and the Locket family establish themselves firmly in Baumond.
Watching the Locket family rise, Lottie was truly filled with resentment. "Why? Why do those scumbags get to live better lives?"

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....
