The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 429

Jorge didn't leave and continued to stay by Wynn's side.

A short while later, just as Wynn was about to go look for Trevor, he was no longer standing by Celeste's side.

Instead, Celeste was speaking with Harold.

Given how well Harold and Jorge knew each other, it was natural for them to greet one another in public.

After the greeting, Jorge began introducing Wynn, "Mr. Jennings, this is—"

But Harold smiled and cut him off, saying, "Ms. Locket, we've met before."

Wynn politely greeted Harold.

He nodded and smiled, then turned his gaze back to Celeste. "Cel, have you been keeping busy lately?"

Even though the summit had ended, they were still in a public setting.

Harold's warm and familiar way of addressing Celeste, and the gentler tone he used with her compared to how he spoke with Jorge, made it clear.

Harold was quite fond of Celeste and made no attempt to hide it.

Celeste nodded. "Yes."

She could certainly sense Harold's fondness.

She had always greeted him normally in the past. But when Jorge suddenly walked over just now, it reminded her that Harold was actually Caleb's father.

Thinking about Caleb's pursuit, Celeste didn't feel uncomfortable around Harold. After all, nothing had actually happened between her and Caleb.

Harold's attitude toward Wynn wasn't cold or dismissive, but compared to the way he treated Celeste, the difference was obvious.

In fact, after Wynn had greeted him, Harold didn't speak to her further. It was as if he wasn't interested in building a closer connection, let alone showing any kind of admiration.

If he had wanted to show support, he would've at least mentioned InnovaTech, the company she represented.

After all, she'd been invited to this summit, which should've given her some standing.

When they had last met, she could tell that Theodore seemed to like Celeste quite a bit. She had assumed he would mention Celeste to Jorge, and that might change Jorge's perception of her.

But apparently…

Harold was a busy man. So, after chatting for a few minutes, Celeste moved on to other matters as well.

After a while, Celeste found a break and quietly left the hall.

Seeing her leave, Beck's expression shifted slightly. He turned to Trevor beside him and said, "Trevor, I've got something to do. I'll head out first."

Trevor turned his head. "Not joining me for dinner?"

Beck shook his head. "No."

"Alright," Trevor didn't insist. "Let's catch up again when you're free."

"Sure."
