The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 439

After her secretary left, Wynn's mood grew heavier and heavier.

Technology was the foundation of a company's growth.

With Velotra's brilliant performance ahead of them, InnovaTech would need another major technological breakthrough to gain a foothold in the autonomous vehicle market.

But achieving a breakthrough in technology was incredibly difficult.

So far, she had already invested six to seven hundred million dollars into InnovaTech. But now that Velotra had disrupted the market, InnovaTech's future was uncertain.

If she continued to invest and InnovaTech failed to make a breakthrough with real impact, it would be the same as throwing away all the money.

Yet, she was unwilling to give up now. So... Should she move forward or retreat?

Thinking of this, she thought of Trevor. But even he couldn't guarantee whether the company could achieve a breakthrough in the future, could he?

So, even if she asked him, he likely wouldn't be able to give her a definite answer either.

Wynn sat there deep in thought for a long time.

It wasn't until her secretary knocked again that she realized it was already noon.

Her secretary asked, "Ms. Locket, would you like me to arrange lunch for you?"

Wynn glanced at her phone but said nothing.

She was sure Trevor understood the extent of the impact Velotra would have on InnovaTech even more clearly than she did.

And based on what she knew of him, he probably had already predicted how the attitudes of Leroy and the other potential partner, Steven Watts, had changed toward InnovaTech.

Now was exactly the time when she needed him most. But since dinner with Leroy the day before, he hadn't contacted her at all.

Thinking back to how he had looked at Celeste during the launch event—so focused, as if he had completely forgotten her existence—her heart clenched painfully.

So maybe he, like her, had yet to recover from the shock brought by Celeste's dazzling performance at the launch.

…

Celeste had been busy for most of the day.

At around five in the evening, her phone rang. It was a call from Jordyn.

She glanced at the screen and answered, "Jo, what's the matter?"

"Mom, our school is going on summer break soon. There's a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. Can you attend it?"

Tilda and Donna were both surprised to see Celeste personally attending the meeting.

After all, ever since the last parent-child event, it was usually Trevor who came with Jordyn.

Donna greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Rodriguez. Long time no see."

"Long time no see," Celeste replied.

After the greeting, Donna began chatting with Celeste about Jordyn's performance at school recently.

From the teacher's words, Celeste learned that Jordyn had been quite happy both at home and at school, which meant Trevor had indeed been attentive to her.

During the parent-teacher meeting, Jordyn held Celeste's hand and said sweetly, "Mom, it's been so long since we had a meal together outside. Can we go out for lunch after this?"

Celeste agreed, "Sure."

However, after the meeting ended, when Celeste was walking out of the school holding Jordyn's hand, she saw Trevor stepping out of his car.

Jordyn didn't look surprised at all. Instead, she happily said, "Dad, you're here!"

Only after glancing at Celeste did Trevor respond with a hum.
