# Chapter 100: A Genius in Hiding – The Feast They Shared Without Her
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 100 of "The Breaking Point of Love" – a chapter where the silence of rejection speaks louder than any invitation, and where one woman’s brilliance burns brighter than the coldness of a family that refuses to see her worth.
Let's dive right in.
Jordyn came bounding down the stairs, her voice carrying that unmistakable air of indifference as she announced to Trevor, "Dad, Mom's already having lunch in the room. So, she's not coming down here."
The words hung in the air like a verdict. Miles, seated at the dining table, lifted an eyebrow ever so slightly. A faint, almost imperceptible nod of approval crossed his face. So, Celeste knew her place after all. She wasn't going to force herself into a gathering where she was clearly unwanted. That was wise of her – or so he thought.
Beck lowered his gaze and said nothing. The silence from him was deafening, filled with a thousand unspoken regrets. But he didn't dare voice them.
Meanwhile, Wynn’s lips curled into a subtle, victorious smile. She had known all along that Celeste wouldn't dare to join them for lunch. Why would she? No one really wanted her here anyway. Celeste could try coming down, of course, but all she would receive was mockery, exclusion, and the cruel sting of being treated like an outsider in her own home. Instead of subjecting herself to that humiliation, it was far more natural for her to hole up in her room like the timid weasel Wynn had always believed her to be.
Trevor heard Jordyn's report and simply responded, "Alright. Got it." There was no disappointment in his voice, no insistence that his wife should join them. He wasn't that insistent about Celeste being present, really. With a wave of his hand, he announced, "Let's not wait anymore. Dig in, everyone."
Wynn's smile deepened as she heard his words. Gracefully, elegantly, she slid into the seat next to Trevor – the seat that should have belonged to his lawful wife.

But while the feast of rejection continued downstairs, Celeste was far from defeated. After finishing her simple lunch, she returned to her work with renewed focus. By now, Matthias had reached home, and Celeste’s mind was buzzing with fresh ideas. She had thought of more new concepts, her creativity flowing like a river that refused to be dammed.
When Celeste finished explaining her latest ideas to Matthias, she sent them over to him. He went through them with growing excitement, and then – he exploded.
"Oh my fucking God! You're a fucking genius!" Matthias banged the table so hard it must have rattled his entire house. "Just look at how fast you grasp things! You are a freaking prodigy in this field, Celeste. I knew you could do it!"
But before Celeste could even respond, Matthias cupped his head in his hands, and his voice dropped into a tone of bitter regret. "Seven years. That's seven years we wasted. If you hadn't gone off to get married, Yoda Vision Co. would've been world-famous by now!"
His shouts were so loud that Celeste had to move her phone away from her ears, wincing slightly. Matthias, realizing he had brought up a painful topic, cleared his throat and quickly returned to the matter at hand. They were onto something big – something that required a larger team.
Matthias immediately contacted Yandel Sanchez, a staff member at Yoda Vision Co., and invited the other team members to join them. Yandel and his crew hadn't chosen to work at Yoda Vision Co. just for a stable paycheck. No, they genuinely wanted to learn and grow. When they heard Matthias's explanations, they realized there was still a huge gap between their skills and those of Matthias and Celeste in the artificial intelligence field. But instead of feeling discouraged, they felt inspired.
Although Yandel and his team couldn't grasp every key concept immediately, Matthias's passionate explanation ignited their excitement. They didn't hesitate to agree to work overtime. They officially joined the team, eager to be part of something revolutionary.
Ideally, everyone would discuss this in person. But Celeste was two hours away from Yoda Vision Co., and inspiration was a fickle mistress. One had to seize it when it struck, or risk losing it forever. So, they decided on a video conference instead.
During a brief lull, Matthias seized the opportunity to ask, "Are you alone in your room? Where are Trevor and the others?"
"No idea," Celeste replied indifferently. "They're having lunch, I guess."
"Just Trevor and Jordyn?"
"Wynn, Miles, and Beck are here too."
"And they left you alone in your room?" Matthias's voice carried a sharp edge.
"Jordyn came over and asked me to join them downstairs, but I rejected it."
"Good to know. It seems like Trevor still has a sliver of his conscience intact."
Celeste didn't agree. She shared the same thought as Miles – Trevor had only offered her to join because he didn't want Martha to nag at him later. Besides, the people downstairs were all on Wynn's side. Even if Celeste had joined them, they didn't have to worry about her "picking on" Wynn. That was why they weren't worried about having her there.

Four more hours flew by as Celeste and Matthias worked tirelessly. By the time dinner approached, they decided to take a two-hour break before resuming. Celeste compiled everything they had accomplished that day, then shut her laptop. She needed some fresh air, a brief stroll to clear her mind. And perhaps, she would pick up two cartons of apples to bring to Matthias and the team – a small gesture of appreciation for the people who truly valued her.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter was a powerful reminder of resilience in the face of rejection. While the family downstairs feasted on food and false unity, Celeste was feasting on something far more valuable – her own genius and the respect of those who truly understood her worth. The contrast between the cold, exclusionary atmosphere at Trevor's table and the electric excitement of Celeste's collaboration with Matthias was brilliantly drawn. My heart ached for Celeste, but it also swelled with pride. She refused to let their cruelty dim her light.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Celeste has decided to step out for some fresh air and apples, the question is: will she run into someone from the family? Perhaps Trevor will finally notice her absence, or maybe Miles will have a moment of conscience. But more importantly, with the team now assembled and working on this groundbreaking project, Celeste's professional life is about to take off – and that success might just become the ultimate weapon against Wynn's schemes. The next chapter could see the first cracks forming in the enemy's perfect facade.
