The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 443 The Rodriguez family had already heard about Velotra's situation . Now that Celeste had achieved great success in her career , both Ivan and Betty were genuinely happy for her . To celebrate , they arranged to have lunch together with her on Saturday afternoon . As Ivan's car approached the restaurant and was about to enter the parking lot , it nearly collided with another vehicle coming from the opposite direction .noveldrama

The other driver had failed to control their speed , so technically it was their fault . However , Ivan decided not to fuss about it . Since his car was in front , he should have had the right of way , bulie other car tried to cut in . Frowning , Ivan rolled down his window to reason with the driver . Coincidentally , the other driver rolled down their window too - clearly believing they were in the right . But the moment Ivan saw who was inside , his face turned cold .

Harvey didn't expect the other party to be Ivan and Betty . Whatever words he'd intended to say immediately stuck in his throat . In the passenger seat was Lilian , and in the back were Erin and Patricia . All of them saw Ivan . None of them had expected such a coincidence . Ivan looked away and , before Harvey could react , drove straight into the parking lot . They had been in high spirits earlier , looking forward to the celebratory meal .

But upon encountering the Locket family , Betty's face turned cold almost instantly . Celeste held onto her arm and gently patted her hand to soothe her Thinking of how her daughter's health had improved and how Celeste was now doing better than ever , Betty felt comforted . She realized she truly should look forward and not let past people or events disturb her peace . Her mood gradually improved . After parking , Celeste and the rest of the family were the first to enter the restaurant .

Thanks to Betty's change of heart , their group's mood remained largely unaffected . But the Locket family and the Shaw family were another story . Watching the Rodriguez family walk away , everyone - Erin , Patricia , and even Wynn - had unpleasant expressions . They had all heard about Velotra . Even though , thanks to Trevor's help , InnovaTech now had a clear direction , all the investments they'd made previously had gone to waste .

1 Moreover , even with a clear direction now , InnovaTech's future was still uncertain . What unsettled Patricia and Erin even more was the press conference where Celeste had openly claimed credit for Velotra's technology , and where Maxwell had also confirmed that all the technology Velotra and YodaVision collaborated on came from Celeste alone . 3 If that were true , then Celeste's current worth could easily be in the hundreds of billions . But how was that even possible ?

Could Celeste really possess such extraordinary technical prowess ? Was there truly no help from Matthias involved ? Could it really not be his work ? Yet Celeste had dared to claim it as her own … 1/3 Chapter 443 Thinking about this , the mood among the Locket family and the Shaw family soured even further , especially for Wynn . She clenched her fists and said in a calm tone , " Let's head inside . !

Snapping out of their daze , Erin and the others followed her into the restaurant . Over an hour later , just as they were about to leave after lunch , the heard someone near the elevator say , " Matthias is still single . If you know any good young women , remember to keep anye out for him . " " Of course , we've been friends for years . You've said it so many times ! If we come across any good matches , of course we'll introduce them to him !

" Hearing this , Wynn looked up and realized the speaker was none other than Matthias's mother . But Melissa didn't notice them as she entered the elevator . Lilian and Patricia had met her before , and upon hearing her words , Patricia seemed to understand something and gave a faint smile . Wynn paused , then suddenly understood what her grandmother was smiling about .

If all the technological breakthroughs announced at the Velotra press conference had truly come from Celeste , then yes , current worth could very well be in the hundreds of billions . Not only that - if she had that kind of talent , she likely had a lot more potential ahead of her . her There was every possibility she would develop new technologies in the future . In other words , if Celeste really was this capable, she was a walking goldmine .

1 With that level of skill and value , even the most elite of families probably wouldn't care that she'd been divorced . In that case , how could Melissa possibly not acknowledge the relationship between Celeste and Matthias , and instead still be asking people to introduce other women to him ? 8 The answer was clear - the so - called " technology " Celeste claimed probably wasn't all hers to begin with . There had to be a lot of exaggeration . 23 2/3
