Over the next two days, Celeste became even busier. She was busy even on Saturday.
Jordyn called her and, upon learning that she would be working throughout the day, asked, "What about tonight? Are you busy too, Mom?"
"Yes, I still have other things to take care of this evening."
"Dad's busy tonight too."
Celeste guessed that Trevor was probably attending the anniversary of Philip's research institute as well.
Philip had previously served for many years as the Vice President of one of the world's top three technology companies.
Within the country's AI community, he was one of the rare figures who possessed both world-class academic prestige and extensive experience leading a top-tier global corporation. The breadth of his connections and resources was self-evident.
His research institute had also recently achieved a major breakthrough. So, tonight's anniversary celebration was certain to attract an impressive gathering of leaders from both the academic and business worlds.
The chances of Trevor being there were naturally quite high.
However, Celeste didn't mention any of this to Jordyn. Nor did she tell her that she and Trevor were likely attending the same event.
She still had work to finish, so after chatting with Jordyn for a few more minutes, she hung up and returned to her work.
…
Celeste and Matthias arrived at Philip's anniversary banquet at 8:00 PM that evening.
Many guests had already gathered.
Philip personally came out to greet them the moment they arrived. He had apparently instructed someone to keep an eye out for them.
"Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez, I've been looking forward to seeing the two of you."
"Professor Lancaster." The two of them immediately greeted him.
Matthias then hurriedly said, "Professor Lancaster, you're giving us too much honor."



Matthias noticed Quentin's stare as well. He didn't expect Quentin to be here either.
Patting Celeste lightly on the shoulder, he silently told her not to mind him.
Celeste nodded as she had no intention of paying Quentin any attention anyway.
Just as she turned her gaze away, she spotted Trevor and Wynn.
Philip had long maintained a close relationship with both Lincoln's and Queenie's families. So, he smiled when Trevor walked over to greet him.
"You're late. I thought you weren't coming."
Trevor smiled back. "How could I not?"
Philip snorted dismissively. "What is there that you'd actually be afraid to do?"
Then his gaze shifted to Wynn. "So, is this your girlfriend?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
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...
Please update...
I hope this isn’t another story where the husband lets all this happen just to say he was in love with her all along and was doing this to humiliate and get back the people who wronged her and her family. That just doesn’t make sense and if it is I hope the writer doesn’t have Celeste take him back and hope Caleb is her guy because Beck knew the full truth and decided to come to terms with who Celeste was after years of bullying her too....
