Zachary naturally came to expand the connections and opportunities for Celeste and Matthias.
Although his friends would not have neglected Celeste and Matthias even if he had been absent, it still made a difference with him personally there.
Trevor knew that Zachary had also come to the event, but he didn't deliberately go over to greet him.
It was only when he happened to run into Zachary while leaving around noon that he politely greeted him. "Mr. Newman."
Zachary merely nodded coldly.
Then he left together with Celeste and Matthias.
During the day, Celeste not only engaged in in-depth academic discussions with several veteran figures in the industry, but also accepted several interviews.
The entire day was extremely fulfilling.
Soon, it was time for the awards ceremony that evening.
At the ceremony, Celeste sat together with Zachary and Matthias. Trevor was seated not far away, but there was no interaction between them.
When Celeste received the Outstanding Paper Award, it was indeed just as the rumors online had said—Zachary personally went on stage to present the award to her.
When Zachary stepped onto the stage, the host smiled and said, "Mr. Newman, there have been rumors that you broke from your usual routine and accepted the invitation to attend this awards ceremony because you wanted to personally present the award to Ms. Rodriguez. May I ask if this rumor is true?"
Zachary's expression remained somewhat distant, but he answered directly. "Yes, it is."
His straightforward admission surprised even the host.
Celeste was surprised as well.
Although she knew that Zachary had appeared today because of her and that he had even taken two extra days off because of it, she had not expected him to admit it so openly.
When she had given up on the career she loved after getting married and having a child, Zachary had not said much.
Later, when she returned to the AI field and continued to pursue her research, he had not put much pressure on her either.


After she finished speaking, the first person she saw among the audience was Trevor when she swept her gaze downward.
Trevor was also looking at the stage. He was probably watching her.
At that moment, he was applauding just like the other audience members.
Perhaps sensing her gaze on him, he smiled.
Celeste paused. She finally looked away after a moment of hesitation.

Hearing this, Celeste thought of all the support and understanding Matthias had given her over the past year.
Warmth immediately filled her eyes, making her tear up again. But this time, she smiled.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
The uncovering of truth feels like a kid is peeling an onion layer by layer at extremely slow speed.. Truly exhausting...
Now how will Wynn and Lockett justify this? We've uncovered everything; we must finish this now, immediately....
I feel like the only thing to calm the issue is Zachary showing up and explaining she has been his student for the past 7 years. But doubt that will happen...
This is exhausting! Even with the truth spilled why are we so focused on the nonessential characters assumptions and opinions. This is spending not enough time on the MC. The ping pong of revelations and denial with corrections. Same exhausting pattern 😭😡...
I still feel we are too far from the closure..Author is just playing with us by updating the chapters excruciatingly slow and then with every chapter - revolving around the bush. People are still finding reasons to defend Wynn. I am afraid, the author will again leave the readers hanging, letting the rest of the story unfold after probably 1000 more chapters...
One chapter?! After 4 days of no updates 🤯...
This is Sisa, I want to put her underground... What kind of talk is this, man? She's taking advantage of Jordyn being here....
Y no updates... Frustrated...
The one-page updates have stopped again. It’s been 4 days since the last one-page update. There never was a promised 5 chapter update in the history of this story. It has been dribbled out, line-by-line for a very, very long time. Please end our torture and finish this story....
No update in four days… The cliffhangers are dreadful...
