There were still important matters at the company, so Harvey was called away by a phone call.
Wynn didn't look too well.
Lilian guessed that aside from being shaken by Celeste's dazzling performance today, something else must have happened.
She asked, "At the launch event, how did Trevor act toward Celeste?"
Wynn lowered her eyes. "He admired her."
Lilian's expression gradually darkened.
In the past, Trevor had always ignored Celeste. In his eyes, she was worthless. He had never once shown any admiration for her.
But now—
"The technology Celeste talked about at the event—do you think it really came from her?"
Though she hadn't interacted with Trevor much, from what her daughter had said, she knew that he understood technology himself and had always held deep respect for technical experts.
So, if Celeste truly had that kind of ability, it wouldn't be surprising for Trevor to change his stance and start admiring her.
Before Wynn could respond, Linda blurted out, "Of course, it's not hers! She's just an undergrad—how could she have that kind of capability? It must be Matthias—"
But before she could finish, Wynn said, "It probably is hers."
Linda's eyes widened in shock. "How is that possible? How could she—?"
But the fact was, Celeste had skipped three grades and entered university early—at Aurelia University, the top-ranked university in the country.
Although Linda herself had also skipped grades and gone to a well-known university, it still wasn't on par with Aurelia University.
In other words, Celeste had the foundation for academic research if she had wanted to pursue it.
So, even if it was hard to admit, Wynn couldn't deny the possibility that both Celeste's paper and the technologies she presented today might really be her own work.
After sending Linda out of the room, Lilian said gently, "Even if Celeste really is that capable, you and Trevor have such a deep bond. It's not something that can be easily shaken.
"Besides, you have your own strengths too. So, Wynn, don't worry too much."
Could she not worry?
Wynn said nothing.
Even though Trevor had seemed calm after the launch event and treated her as kindly as always, could he really be as unaffected by Celeste as he appeared?
She couldn't help but think of how, not long ago, Trevor had gone out of his way to collect the research papers Celeste had recommended while giving technical lectures to Fleming Group's engineers.
That thought felt like a thorn in her throat.
If he truly was as calm as he seemed, then why had he not once mentioned anything about the launch event after it ended?

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
