Linda curled her lips and gave a cold snort. "Taking on so many major projects at once—let's see if they can swallow it all without choking."
But even as she said that, she didn't sound confident—if anything, her words came off as sour.
After all, if YodaVision dared to take on that many projects, chances are, they had the capacity to manage them.
Linda's father, Luther Shaw, was also bitter.
Thinking about how both the Locket family's tech company and InnovaTech were constantly hitting bottlenecks, while YodaVision seemed to be progressing without any setbacks, he couldn't help but grumble, "I wonder how Matthias hires people—how does he keep finding such top-tier talent?"
Ever since YodaVision became widely known, both InnovaTech and the Locket family's tech company had tried to poach people from them.
But after YodaVision gained fame, countless big-name companies—both domestic and international—started trying to recruit YodaVision's tech staff.
The Locket family and InnovaTech had no real advantage in that competition.
So, even though they offered decent packages, it was still incredibly hard to lure away truly outstanding talent.
And the fact that YodaVision, despite constantly being targeted by headhunters from major companies, still managed to roll out new innovations from time to time, proved that they had no shortage of creative and capable people.
Just that alone was enough to make others envious, jealous, and resentful.
Hearing all this, Wynn lowered her head, poking at the food on her plate without saying a word.
Although both the Lockets and the Shaws had hoped Wynn could help achieve a technical breakthrough, the more they learned about the industry, the more they realized how incredibly difficult such breakthroughs actually were.
So when Wynn didn't respond, no one pressed her. They simply assumed she too was troubled over InnovaTech's stalled progress.
…
The next day, Celeste headed to the conference room for a meeting. Shortly after she sat down, Matthias arrived as well.
Before the meeting began, Matthias leaned in and said to her, "This morning my mom mentioned that a certain auction house has been quite lively lately. They're about to auction off a rare, one-of-a-kind diamond.
"I remember you once mentioned that your mom really likes diamonds—do you want to go check it out?"
Who would dare bet their entire fortune on that?
At the time, her cousins were still very young, and the Rodriguez family business was struggling to stay profitable.
So in the end, Celeste had no choice but to watch that opportunity slip by.
More than ten years had passed since then.
Now, another rare diamond had finally surfaced—this time released by a private collector. So, it held great historical value.
If they missed this chance, who knew how long they'd have to wait for another?
Hearing what Matthias said, Celeste's heart stirred. She couldn't help but say, "I want to go."
Even if the diamond didn't end up having the miraculous effect she hoped for, if her mother liked it—even just to hold or admire—it would be worth it. She wouldn't regret it.

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....
