The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 140
Chapter 140
Jorge asked, “Are you familiar with that woman?”
Hearing him mention Celeste, Wynn’s fingers briefly tightened on the keyboard. She instinctively thought he might be interested in her.
Celeste was indeed beautiful. But recalling what she had overheard at the auction that day, along with Jorge’s current attitude, she quickly realized she had been mistaken.
Expressionless, she replied, “Not really. Why?”
Jorge glanced in Celeste and Matthias’s direction and said, “Judging by how she talks with Matthias, she seems quite capable.”
Wynn said indifferently, “I’m not sure, but I heard she only has a bachelor’s degree.”
“Only a bachelor’s degree?”
“Mm.”
That explained a lot. With a lower academic background than Wynn and lacking the same striking charm, it was understandable that she would feel insecure about Matthias being taken away.
Jorge could understand Celeste’s nervousness about losing Matthias.
But seeing someone better than herself and instantly treating them as an enemy, always assuming other women were trying to seduce her boyfriend? That was a real turn–off.
With that thought, Jorge’s neutral attitude toward Celeste shifted into mild dislike.
Meanwhile, Matthias, now free for a moment, glanced through the glass window at Jorge and Wynn inside the conference room.
After watching for a few seconds, he leaned in close to Celeste and murmured, “Jorge likes Wynn?”
Celeste was focused on processing data, and it took her a second to register who he was referring to. Then she replied in a flat tone, “Probably.”
She genuinely didn’t care about the matter. After answering, she simply pulled Matthias back to work, reminding him to quit gossiping.
The sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.
Matthias smirked. “What a poor choice.” That was the end of his gossiping.
Jorge, noticing Matthias glancing their way, assumed he was looking at Wynn. And when he saw Celeste frown and pull Matthias away, he thought she was annoyed that he kept staring at Wynn.
Wynn ran into a technical issue and paused.
She wanted to ask Matthias for guidance, but when she looked over, she found that both he and the InnovaTech engineers were completely focused on listening to Celeste.
The way they looked at her–if she didn’t know better, she would have thought Celeste was some kind of top–tier technical expert.
At that thought, Wynn averted her gaze.
Celeste and Matthias worked straight through until after 5:00 pm before finally wrapping things up.

Jonathan invited Celeste and Matthias into the conference room to take a break and have some water.
Meanwhile, the contract between CodeFlux and InnovaTech had also been finalized.
Seeing that Jorge’s team had also finished their work, Jonathan said, “It’s getting late. How about grabbing dinner together?”
Jorge’s heart stirred, and he looked at Wynn.
Wynn, as if not noticing his gaze, replied, “Sorry, Trevor is coming to pick me up from Fleming Group. We have other plans, so I won’t be joining. Enjoy your meal.”
Hearing that Wynn wouldn’t be going, Jorge instantly lost interest in the dinner as well. “I’ve got things to do as well. Let’s do it another time.”
Wynn wasn’t surprised by his response, but she showed no reaction on her face.
The more Matthias observed, the more convinced he became that Jorge liked Wynn.
It was also obvious that Jorge only backed out of the dinner because Wynn wasn’t going.
With both of them declining, Jonathan found himself in an awkward position and turned to Matthias. “Mr. Yoder, what about you?”
Matthias clinked his teacup against Celeste’s and grinned. “We’re free, right, Cel?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Trevor, you're damned... I just wanted to say this for no reason....
Are we back to having rage baiting chapter?...
I don't want to raise my hopes regarding this lawsuit. I'm sure the bank (Trevor) will get them out of there....
Let's beat around the bush again...
Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
ok im done im not reading this trash anymore its repetitive celeste finally speaks and its less than 5 words.this isn't good at all and now we're getting the netizens pov but not hers. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION EXCEPT HER AND TREVOR...
I’m not liking where this is headed.. I’m getting the sense that the author is following the revenging husband storyline and Trevor did all this just to avenge his wife...
Isn't this a company that Celeste and Matthias work for? This will be a fatal blow to those scoundrels....
