# Chapter 147: The Secret Dinner and Hidden Intentions
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 147 of "The Breaking Point of Love," a chapter filled with subtle politics, hidden agendas, and a dinner that could change everything for Celeste.

Of course, Matthias's offer to let Celeste pay was just a joke. There was no way he would actually allow her to foot the bill—not when he had taken her out drinking at a bar, knowing full well how protective Zachary could be. After settling the bill at the counter, Matthias hurried Celeste out of the bar, worried that Zachary might somehow find out about their little escapade.
The next day at noon, Celeste drove to Zachary's villa to pick him up. Once he settled into the passenger seat, she asked, "Mr. Newman, where are we going?"
Zachary simply gave her an address. Half an hour later, they arrived at an elegant restaurant where a waiter promptly led them to a private dining room.
When the door swung open, Celeste found two middle-aged men already seated inside. Both exuded an imposing presence—the kind of authority that came from decades of power and influence. As they entered, the men rose to their feet. "You're here," they greeted warmly.
Zachary, as indifferent and stoic as ever, made the introductions. "Theodore Robinson, Harold Jennings. My student, Celeste Rodriguez."
Celeste's heart skipped a beat. She had seen these men in the news before. One held a high-ranking position in the military, while the other was a major figure in politics. These were not ordinary men—they were titans of power.
Yet despite their status, their demeanor toward Celeste was surprisingly warm. They extended their hands to shake hers. "We've heard a lot about you."
Although Celeste was caught off guard, she kept her composure and shook their hands respectfully. "That's something I should be saying to you."
Theodore and Harold chuckled warmly and gestured for her to sit. Once she was seated, Theodore leaned forward slightly. "We've heard about you for years. We've always hoped Mr. Newman would introduce us, but everyone's been busy, and there was never a chance. Recently, our team has been studying the system you developed, and since we happen to have some free time these days, we thought we'd invite you to a meal and finally meet you in person."
The conversation soon turned serious—systems, chips, energy, groundbreaking technology. Throughout it all, Zachary sat quietly, eating and drinking tea, rarely joining in. He was content to let Celeste shine.
Over an hour later, Theodore poured Celeste a cup of tea, which she accepted graciously. He set down the teapot and gazed at her with deep, experienced eyes, yet his expression remained gentle. "If I remember correctly, Cel, you're in your twenties, right?"
Celeste nodded. "Yes, I'm twenty-five."
"Young indeed," Harold interjected, catching on immediately to Theodore's meaning. A knowing smile spread across his face. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Celeste froze for a moment before answering. "I'm married." Though she would get a divorce soon. Given whom she was speaking to, it wasn't appropriate to discuss her personal affairs, so she didn't elaborate.
Theodore and Harold exchanged glances, clearly surprised. But they were not ordinary men. They noticed the flicker of emotion that passed through Celeste's eyes when she mentioned her marriage—subtle but telling. It suggested her marriage had issues. Which meant there was a good chance she would be divorced.
That meant their sons might still have a shot.
There was no shortage of prestigious young ladies eager to marry into the Robinson and Jennings families. Typically, even the daughters of wealthy families would struggle to gain entry into their circles, let alone a divorcee. But Celeste was different. She was far too talented.
With the technology Yoda Vision currently possessed, the company's growth in the coming years would be unstoppable. Not to mention that Zachary's position would very likely be passed down to her in the future. In other words, Celeste's potential was limitless.
And beyond all that, despite her young age and remarkable achievements, she remained composed and graceful, without a trace of arrogance—an extremely rare quality in someone so young. The more they observed her, the more they liked her.
Zachary, who had been listening in silence, finally lifted his gaze and shot them a cold, warning look. The message was clear: *Stay in your lane.*

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a fascinating chapter! The subtle dance of power and interest is masterfully portrayed. Theodore and Harold's obvious interest in Celeste—not just as a prodigy but as a potential daughter-in-law—adds a whole new layer of complexity to her already tangled life. And Zachary's protective warning glance? Priceless. He may be indifferent to most, but when it comes to Celeste, he's always watching.
⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that Theodore and Harold won't give up easily. They'll likely try to arrange meetings between Celeste and their sons, setting up a whole new conflict. Meanwhile, Zachary's protectiveness might force him to reveal more of his true feelings—or at least his intentions. Will Celeste's impending divorce become known to these powerful families? And how will Matthias react when he learns of this dinner? The game is just beginning.
