The Breaking Point of Love Novel

Chapter 173: At the restaurant, as the Locket and Shaw families approached, Celeste remained expressionless. Matthias, in contrast, muttered under his breath, "What a small world." The Locket and Shaw families were delighted to see Matthias. Harvey greeted him with a smile, saying, "Mr. Yoder, we meet again." Matthias responded with a faint smile, "Yes." Harvey suggested, "Since we've run into each other, why don't we dine together?"

Earlier, on the phone, Harvey had wanted to invite Matthias for a meal. Now that they had met by chance, he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity. Matthias replied, "No need. This is my personal time. Maybe next time." "Well...Alright, next time then." Since Matthias had declined, Harvey couldn't insist. Matthias nodded and said to Celeste, "Let's go." Celeste nodded as well.

Without sparing the Locket and Shaw families another glance, she followed him upstairs. Watching them leave, Lennox frowned. "Wynn told me that Matthias has always kept his attitude lukewarm toward her because of Celeste. Do you think he'll refuse to work with us on the YodaVision project because of her?" Given Matthias' indifferent attitude, it was a real possibility. Lilian commented lightly, "There's still some time before the bidding for the YodaVision project."

"Nothing is set in stone yet, so anything is possible." Mason chuckled, "Exactly. Wynn and Trevor's relationship couldn't progress because of Mrs. Fleming Senior's interference. But now, things have suddenly turned around, haven't they? So, we shouldn't lose hope. There's still a chance." The turnaround he was referring to was Trevor and Celeste's impending divorce. Hearing this, Patricia's mood brightened.

None of them, including Wynn, had known about this until Miles had casually mentioned it to her. Later, they found out that the divorce papers were taking longer than expected to process. Trevor hadn't told Wynn because he didn't want her to worry. He had planned to surprise her once everything was finalized. Thinking of this, Patricia beamed. "Trevor has wanted a divorce for a long time."

"Now that Wynn got injured saving him, he's ignoring his grandma's objections and insisting on divorcing Celeste. He truly cares for Wynn." "Yes, all of Wynn's patience is finally paying off. Her happy days are just around the corner." "Indeed." Hearing this, Lilian and Harvey also smiled. But then, looking in the direction where Celeste and Matthias had left, Patricia's smile faded a little. "That Celeste surely doesn't want a divorce."

"What if, in the end, it doesn't go through?" Gillian requested. "Too vital. Vyom told me Trevor usually makes his own decisions. The reason he hadn't dived before was that he was waiting for the right time - he didn't want to upset his grandma." "But he has always been devoted to Wynn, and now that she almost lost her life for him, he's directly demanding a divorce. That means he's no longer willing to let Wynn suffer."

"He's made up his mind, so the chances of the divorce going through are very high." "I don't doubt it. There's restive." Patricia said flatly. "What I'm worried about is Celeste causing trouble and Janine Tarvart back down to Stedt Farey and En." "We might need to talk to her."

Sammy and Erin had already been considering that after Celeste and Matthias knew what the Locket and Shaw families were plotting. After stepping out of the elevator, Crest and Matthias were about to head to their private dining room when three tall figures walked toward them. Seeing them, Matthias's face darkened. "Am I cursed today?" he muttered.

Why did he keep running into people? Calasta stared at the three men. Two were familiar - Ted and another familiar-looking man... Somehow, she couldn't recall where she had seen him before. The three men faced them as well and greeted Matthias. "Matthias, what a coincidence." Matthias forced a smile. "Yeah, quite the coincidence."

Jorge had called Matthias, hoping to invite him to dinner and discuss a potential collaboration. But now they ran into each other. Ignoring Celeste, Jorge suggested, "Since we're all here, why not have a meal?" Later, added with a laugh, "Yeah, it's been a while since we last had one together." "No thanks." Matthias said with a smile. "I have things to do. It's not convenient." Then he looked at the third man. "Caleb, how come you're free today?"

Caleb Jennings's strongly handsome face remained impassive. "I took a few days off." Matthias nodded, not wanting to continue the conversation. "Let's leave the meal for another time. We have something to do." Caleb simply nodded in response. Then Matthias and Celeste headed into their private dining room. After they had walked some distance away, Caleb finally spoke. "Did one of you offend him?" Matthias had made it obvious, but his attitude clearly showed he wasn't interested in engaging with them. Interlocked, puzzled. "I don't think so."

Chapter 173: Inside their private room, Xavier took a sip of tea and commented, "I have to say, Matthias is pretty impressive. If those two projects go through, his net worth will skyrocket." Caleb responded coolly, "He's always been smart. He was mentored by Zachary, and his field of study happened to align perfectly with industry trends, and he's highly capable. His success is only natural." Then he turned to Jorge.

"I heard from Xavier that you were once interested in the woman by Matthias' side but quickly moved on." "Moving on is one thing, but why do you seem to dislike her now? Did she do something?" Earlier, Jorge hadn't even looked at Celeste. His dislike was so apparent that it was impossible to ignore. Mentioning how he had once been captivated by Celeste's beauty and presence was now something Jorge didn't want to hear. It annoyed him.

He frowned and said, "Can we not talk about her? Let's just order." Caleb shrugged and dropped the topic.
