The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 420
When Celeste saw Howard, there wasn't a trace of surprise on her face.
The city's smart traffic project was crucial to the Locket family's tech company, and yet she had swooped in at the last moment and taken it. How could they possibly sit still and do nothing?
Besides, this wasn't going to be the last time she made a move like this.
She would strike again when the time was right.
Now that the bidding had ended and the project was in YodaVision's hands, there was no way the Locket family could snatch it back.
So, if she guessed correctly, Howard had come to see her to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.
And how would he try to persuade her?
By appealing to emotion, of course. Because that would cost nothing.
But Celeste had no interest in playing along with such false sentimentality.
She turned around and cut Howard off when he was about to speak.
"I remember what happened the last time. Madam Locket said in front of everyone that I'm not her granddaughter. You've been living in Baumond for over half a year now, and I've run into you more than a few times.
"But not once have you ever taken the initiative, in public, to call me your daughter."
She paused here, her tone cold and distant as she looked him straight in the eye. "So, Mr. Locket, what exactly do you think you can say to me now?"
Celeste laid bare the reality—there was no affection left between them as father and daughter.
Howard froze. Before he could respond, a chuckle sounded from behind him.
Matthias's voice followed. "Exactly. Things have already come to this—Mr. Locket, what do you really think you can say to Cel?"
Howard frowned. "Mr. Yoder, this is between me and Cel—"
"'Cel'?" Matthias laughed. "You call her that so intimately, yet I don't recall you ever addressing her that way in front of others."
Everything that needed to be said had already been made clear.
Celeste didn't want to continue the conversation. She turned to Matthias and said, "Let's go."
Erin frowned deeply.
Celeste had been right. Howard had approached her this time to prevent her from targeting them again and causing them to lose another key project.
Linda scoffed, "This time was just a fluke. So what if she managed to steal the project from us once? It's not like she has the ability to do that every time. Isn't this giving her too much credit?"
She was right. But it was not the likely case that hurt one. It was the unlikely one that caught one off guard.
With Celeste now at Matthias' side, if something like this happened again, it would be them who suffered. So, it was still best to avoid it from happening again.
So, even though Linda was often reckless, this particular point was something everyone agreed with, including Lilian and Wynn.
Celeste might seem capable now, but there was no way Matthias would back her on everything. And even if he did, they didn't believe she had the power to sabotage them every single time.
So, Wynn added, "We don't need to overreact. Just be a bit more cautious and keep an eye on her when we're working on projects."
Howard nodded. "That's all we can do now."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Another saviour debt?? Seriously?...
I just need an effing glimpse to what goes around in Trevor's mind. Author - do something about it please There is not even a single mention about what Trevor really wants - interested in Celeste? If yes, then why there is no reaction on seeing people courting Celeste...
I love the story bt really death slow... Y cant you post 5 to 10 chapters per day????...
This reads like a daily diary account...and not a story with a planned plotline. Author, we would share if you took the time to start developing the story, rather than dragging it out with outlines. no depth, no character development, not even the overused tropes are present, just a daily itinerary. We want you to do well..but you have to put the work in making it a viable story...
The storyline is moving painfully slow.. Will we ever get to hear Trevor's side of story? Currently the mixed signals from Trevor are just confusing and frustrating. He is using Jordyn to postpone the divorce and side by side ignoring Wynn to the level that he didnt invite her to the Fleming group banquet. But when asked about clarifying divorce to Jordyn, he is not doing so. Awfully frustrating...
Team beck or Caleb. Trevor has wynn saved his contact as 'babe', kissing her in office and spending nights with her. How in initial chapters Trevor pushed jordyn towards wynn without caring about a mother's feelings. Now he is two timing, suddenly interested in Celeste after knowing background and leaving wynnn behind. Spineless man. He knows cels history with her father, still chose to support them. I don't how people are rooting for cel and Trevor. I wish truth comes out. Cel deserves someone who loves her with whole heart. She thrives in her field. Beck saw cel when she was not famous. But Caleb is good option too. I hope Celeste grows spine starts to demand explaination for dragging divorce....
Author - dont you think the story has been dragged as is? Now, you want to include the angle of Wynn being pregnant as well? God, i really want to know Trevor side of story, why is he playing both sides?...
Are they going to compromise for Jordyns sake? I'll be sad for Celeste if that happens. Why is author giving mixed signals in almost every alternate chapter? Initially Trevor and Wynn were always appearing together along with huge PDA, then Trevor seems involved with Celeste - when she was under alcohol influence, then Trevor seemed to be ignoring Wynn - all the while divorce proceedings are still on and now Jordyn is getting depressed because of their situation. Feels like we are just roaming around the bush or the author is making us do that. Sigh!!...
I don't understand where this story is headed to.. I can't seem to know what Trevor is thinking, in late 500 chapters, he was seen dodging the divorce, ignoring Wynn and now at 624, he is planning on how to tell Jordyn about the divorce. This is messed up!...
My fav novel post us more chap per day...
