# Chapter 246: The Temptation of Invitations and the Silent Observer
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 246 of "The Breaking Point of Love". This chapter is a fascinating blend of corporate maneuvering, subtle social games, and an unexpected encounter that hints at more to come. Let's dive right in, shall we?
The collaboration with Kevin had gone off without a hitch. Two days later, both parties signed the contract, and with that, Revin—who had other commitments to attend to—departed from Yoda Vision. The air in the office settled, but the momentum never slowed. After a long, tiring half-day, Celeste and Matthias finally retreated to the meeting room to catch their breath. They’d barely taken a sip of their hot drinks when Candice walked in, her arms piled high with a thick stack of invitations that she set down in front of them.
“These are all the year-end banquet invitations we’ve received over the past few days,” she announced.
And it was no small collection. No fewer than thirty invitations lay there, gleaming with promise and politics. Among them were invites from Jorge, Beck, the Fleming Group, and Innova Tech. As Celeste and Matthias sorted through the pile, they noticed something interesting: the Locket family had also sent an invitation. But what really caught their attention was that the envelope didn’t just bear Matthias’s name—Celeste’s name was included too.
Matthias leaned lazily against the conference table, holding the Locket family’s invitation with a smirk. “Looks like our company has quite the charm,” he said dryly.
But it wasn’t charm, really. It was more like the irresistible pull of Yoda Vision’s two latest projects and the CUAP technology that had everyone—especially the Locket family—drooling. So much so that they had lowered themselves to include Celeste’s name, hoping to win Matthias over. What they didn’t know, of course, was that the groundbreaking technology wasn’t even his creation. The thought brought a deeper, knowing smile to Matthias’s eyes.
And it wasn’t just the Locket family. The invitations from Robinson Group, Innova Tech, and Fleming Group had also shrewdly included Celeste’s name. Only one exception stood out: Beck. Instead of sending a joint invitation, he had sent two separate ones—one for Matthias and one for Celeste.
Matthias clicked his tongue approvingly. “Beck isn’t too bad,” he muttered.
Celeste remained silent, recalling the last time she had met Beck, that morning when he’d asked if she was a student of Zachary. She had no words for that memory now.
Matthias scanned the invitations once more and made his decision. “Let’s skip Robinson Group, Innova Tech, Fleming Group, and the Locket family,” he said firmly. “We’ll only attend the banquets of companies we have pleasant collaborations with, like Harper Corporation.”
For the others—Robinson Group and the like—they could simply send a gift as a courtesy. But for Fleming Group, Innova Tech, and the Locket family? Even sending gifts was unnecessary. The best approach was to cut ties completely.
“Agreed,” Celeste said, nodding in full accord. She and Matthias had the same instinct. Aside from handling core company affairs, most of their energy was being poured into studying the materials their mentor had given them. They had no time or desire to waste on unnecessary people and their social games.
Meanwhile, Yoda Vision was also preparing its own banquet, though it wouldn’t be sending out invitations for a couple more days. The fiscal year was ending, and they had business with Innova Tech to follow up on.
So, the next day, Celeste went to Innova Tech with Yandel and a few others. As they entered, they happened to run into Wynn. But neither side exchanged a glance; they simply went about their respective business, like ships passing in the night.
Celeste was deep in work when she felt eyes on her. She turned, and there he was—Calvin. The moment she recognized him, she quickly withdrew her gaze. It was only a flicker of acknowledgment, nothing more.
Calvin had been in Baumond for a few days. After two days of aimless fun, he’d gotten bored at home. Hearing that his sister Wynn was working at Trevor’s company, curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to visit Innova Tech. He hadn’t expected to run into Celeste as soon as he walked in. He assumed she was just another employee here.
Seeing that she only gave him a quick glance before looking away, curiosity gnawed at him. He asked the person escorting him, “What are they busy with?”
“Different department, so I’m not too sure,” the person replied. “But it’s probably related to language system maintenance.”
“Oh…” Calvin was genuinely interested in taking a closer look. But seeing how focused Celeste and her team were, he hesitated to disturb their work. Instead, he asked, “Where’s my sister?”
The person smiled. “Ms. Locket is in a meeting. Would you like to go in and see?”
Calvin nodded and followed. A while later, he found himself in a meeting room where everyone was listening intently as his sister discussed work. The scene was professional, controlled, and full of silent power plays.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter masterfully weaves together the quiet tension of corporate social games with the subtle dynamics of family and ambition. It’s a calm before the storm—invitations that mean everything and nothing, and the arrival of Calvin as an observer who might soon become a player. The way Celeste and Matthias stand united, cutting off the Locket family without a second thought, is deeply satisfying. I can’t help but feel a thrill for what’s coming next.
**⭐ Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars**

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Calvin’s curiosity about Celeste and her work is only just beginning. Perhaps he’ll dig deeper, or maybe his path will cross with hers again—this time not as a stranger, but as someone who might try to pry into the secrets of Yoda Vision. And with the Locket family’s invitation rejected, expect their retaliation or a desperate attempt to regain Matthias’s favor. The game is far from over.
