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)
Somehow i am relieved today to see no updates than to be disappointed with yet another irritating show of everyone else's POV but the main characters...
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....
