Beck didn't respond.
Neither did Wynn.
Miles had thought that what he said in the Harper Corporation chat would pique everyone's interest.
Instead, after the message had been sent for quite a while, no one paid him any attention.
He typed, "Where is everyone? Hello? Anyone there?"
Beck saw it and only then replied, "Busy."
Wynn watched the exchange and, after a long pause, replied as well, "Busy."
At that moment, Trevor finally replied, "No time."
Miles was dumbfounded. "Everyone's that busy?"
Trevor replied, "Yeah. Talk next time."
After sending that message, Trevor didn't reappear in the chat.
Beck really was busy. After exchanging a couple of lines with Miles, he stopped responding as well.
Wynn saw that Trevor had briefly shown up and then gone offline. She didn't send any more messages to Harper Corporation either. She simply stared at the screen, looking somewhat absent-minded.
Ever since two days ago, when she hadn't told Trevor, but had privately contacted Jacob to corner him at the dinner, and had tried to kiss him in the car, only to be rejected and then failed to reach him again the following day, she hadn't contacted Trevor at all.
It wasn't that she felt awkward about what happened that day. She just felt that she shouldn't appear in front of Trevor too frequently.
"Wynn?"
While she was lost in thought, Lilian and Ruby returned.
Wynn nodded. Before she could say anything, someone said, "You're back."
"Mm." Harvey nodded as he sat down.
"We ran into an acquaintance just now and heard that the invitations for Beck's company banquet have already been sent out. Did Beck mention anything to you about the Harper Corporation's banquet this year?"
With the New Year approaching, partly because of Trevor, they had been receiving quite a few banquet invitations over the past couple of days.
Ruby and Linda's expressions immediately turned ugly.
Especially Linda—she bit her lip, her eyes reddening, and quickly ran upstairs.
To be honest, Harvey and Lilian hadn't expected Beck to care so much about Linda's matter.
They had thought that no matter what, he would still send them an invitation for Wynn's sake.
Who would have thought...
That said, if Beck had sent the invitation, Linda really might have ended up going along as well.
Lennox sighed. "Looks like next time, not just Linda but even the rest of us need to be more careful. We can't mention Linda in front of him anymore."
Ruby's expression didn't look good, but this time it really was her daughter's fault, so she didn't say anything.
Wynn knew very well that the real reason Beck hadn't sent invitations to either the Lockets or the Shaws this year wasn't because of Linda.
In truth, he was using the incident with Linda as a pretext to draw a clear line between himself and her.

Comments
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....
