"Not at all. I still have a long way to go compared to you, Ms. Larkspur," Celeste said calmly.
The Lackspur family had invested heavily in this project, yet Narcissa didn't hesitate to offend one of their potential partners. If anyone was being reckless, it definitely wasn't Celeste.
Narcissa seemed to read her thoughts. She smiled and said, "Ms. Rodriguez, you're quite confident. You're right that YodaVision is indeed a good choice within the country. However, we're not limited to just your company."
With that, she stood up. "Since YodaVision isn't capable of taking on our project, I won't take up more of your time. Ms. Rodriguez, until next time."
Celeste had no interest in continuing this pointless exchange. "Take care."
That afternoon, Matthias asked about the potential collaboration with the Lackspur Corporation after he returned. So, Celeste briefly recounted what had happened.
"Narcissa has a problem with you? So, she just came to stir up trouble?"
"That's how it felt."
The Yoder family and the Lackspur family hadn't had much interaction in the past. So, Matthias didn't know them well. But he understood the general standing of both families.
He also knew Celeste's social circle well, so he knew there had been no prior connection between her and Narcissa.
He recalled hearing that Narcissa had spent most of these years studying in Andostan. So, given her attitude today, he thought of something and paused before saying, "Could she be close to Wynn? And came here specifically to make things difficult for you on her behalf? Or is it because of Trevor?"
"I think it's the former."
Matthias let out a short laugh. "That's ridiculous. This Narcissa is really not thinking straight if she came to offend a potential partner for some so-called sisterhood.
"Honestly, if the Lackspur family is letting someone this emotional to handle such a huge project, it'd probably be nothing but trouble if we really did collaborate. It's probably best if we don't take it."
Celeste hummed in agreement.


The topic then naturally turned to the major project the Lackspur family was currently working on.
"I've heard they came back well-prepared," the partner said.
"They already secured collaboration with a team in Andostan, and that team just arrived yesterday. Apparently, it's the well-known Team p.MAI."

The Lackspur family had clearly put in everything they had into this project.
But since Team p.MAI had already arrived yesterday, it meant that the collaboration had long been finalized. So, there was no real need for YodaVision anymore.
This meant that Narcissa's visit to YodaVision the day before, under the pretense of discussing a collaboration, had been nothing more than a deliberate provocation.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I think there wont be a closure anytime soon, with the speed with which the story is flowing. New characters are being introduced, sides and opinions are being formed blindly - yet no one is ever discussing anything with each other. This is by far the most frustrating novel i have read and yet, come back for an update in a hope that there may be something in reader's favor now. Sigh! There is nothing. If author doesn't want to take Celeste Trevor route, then let Celeste move on like Trevor has. Enough with this beating around the bush....
Y cant you give more chapters.... Really disappointed.. My fav novel produce only one chap per dayππππππππ...
I can't even believe there are almost 800 chapters and absolutely no story line advances. Basically Trevor is absolute trash and deserves to be mocked and scorned because of his cheating nature, bringing his mistress around like he's single and flaunting the billions he spends on her as if he is not already married for 7 years. Celeste deserves everyone to know her story and be free of this loser....
Very slow in updating chaptersπ.... Tat too only one... It vil be useful if updates have 5 chap a day or atleast 3 per day...
I am getting frustrated with story, what is the point in dragging this on? How come Celeste is always portrayed as the villain when she hasnβt done anything wrong? Get on with outing Wynn, Iβm sick of her!...
πππππeagerly waiting fr next chapters...
Y only one chapter per dayπ€₯ vry sad...
Why am i reading this novel still? In what hope, seriously? To have Trevor regret his choices? To get some clarity or closure on so many gaps this novel offers? To have Shaws & Lockets ever face repercussions? To get clarity on Celeste's mother life? Because seriously, 720+ chapters gone by and from last 350 chapter - there has been no significant progress, the story has been playing around in loops. This is just sad...
No updates stillπ‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘...
Y u stopped in middle.. Pls my fav story... Pls do post...
