# Chapter 263: Unspoken Tensions and Unwanted Advances
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 263 of "The Breaking Point of Love" — a chapter brimming with subtle power plays, unspoken rivalries, and the quiet resilience of our heroine, Celeste. Let's dive right into the tension that simmers beneath the surface of this glittering banquet.
---
The evening was unfolding like a carefully choreographed dance, but not everyone was following the steps. Beck, ever observant, noticed Celeste's unwavering expression as Trevor and Wynn appeared. She didn't flinch, didn't react — and that intrigued him. With a slight bow of his head and a knowing smile, he excused himself: "I'll head over for a moment." Celeste and Matthias nodded, their trust in him unwavering.
Beck had barely exchanged pleasantries with Trevor and Wynn when Jorge Robinson arrived. His eyes instinctively sought Wynn, and when they met hers, a soft smile played on her lips. "Mr. Robinson." "Ms. Locket," Jorge replied, his voice betraying a flicker of admiration he couldn't quite hide. He took a discreet, lingering glance at her before greeting Beck and Trevor. But the air shifted when Jorge, aware that Yoda Vision was now an indispensable partner for the Robinson Group, approached Matthias. He even deigned to acknowledge Celeste with a lukewarm, "Ms. Rodriguez." She merely smiled — a silent dismissal that spoke volumes.
Jorge's frown deepened. Yoda Vision had yet to invite the Robinson Group to their own banquet, and if Celeste and Matthias weren't attending his company's event tomorrow, it was a clear snub. Matthias, without missing a beat, excused them both: "Mr. Robinson, we're going to greet some old friends. Please excuse us." They turned and walked away without waiting for a response. Jorge watched them go, his lips pressed into a thin line. He had wanted to build a bridge with Matthias, but the man's dislike was as plain as day.
Elsewhere, the spotlight shone warmly on Celeste. Many business partners approached her, eager to engage. One executive, David Simmons, even dared to openly court her in front of Matthias. "Ms. Rodriguez, our company offers excellent benefits and flexibility. Whatever conditions you have, we can negotiate." Celeste's smile remained polite but firm: "I currently have no plans to leave Yoda Vision, but I appreciate your offer, Mr. Simmons." Her refusal was graceful yet unyielding. David sighed heavily, later confiding to a friend that he had missed out on "an exceptional talent" — and the friend's disbelief only grew when he learned it was the young woman they'd just seen.
Wynn, unaware of the compliments Celeste was receiving, was deep in conversation with James, her mentor. Jorge, still lingering nearby, couldn't tear his eyes away from her focused expression. But a strange unease prickled at him. He noticed Celeste and Trevor standing off to the side — and the memory of Trevor embracing Celeste months ago flashed through his mind. When he saw Trevor pick up a piece of cake and offer it to Celeste, Jorge's gaze darkened. He strode toward them.
Celeste didn't reach for the cake. As Jorge drew close, Trevor turned. "Mr. Robinson." Jorge's voice was cool: "What were you two talking about?" Trevor chuckled, "We didn't get a chance to talk yet." Before Jorge could respond, Celeste simply walked past him, ignoring him entirely. Jorge turned to watch her go, then noticed Trevor holding two drinks. "Specially mixed cocktails. Would you like to try one, Mr. Robinson?" Jorge paused, suspicion flickering. "Is the other one for Ms. Locket?" "Yes." But then Trevor suddenly excused himself: "I'll be right back." Jorge's eyes followed him, only to see Wynn standing next to Matthias, while Celeste was walking toward them.
Jorge's mind raced. Was Trevor rushing over because he feared Wynn would be bullied by Celeste and Matthias? He followed, his curiosity burning.
Wynn had barely exchanged a word with Matthias when Celeste returned. But Wynn, treating Celeste as if she were invisible, spoke directly to Matthias: "Mr. Yoder—" Matthias, however, ignored her and looked at Celeste. "You're back? Everything okay?" He had seen Trevor heading toward her and had wanted to go himself, but Wynn had blocked his way. Celeste shook her head. "I'm fine." Just then, Trevor and Jorge arrived.
Trevor handed the second cocktail to Wynn and asked, "What were you discussing?" Wynn's gaze softened at the sight of him. She took the drink and smiled. "I wanted to ask Mr. Yoder for some advice, but I haven't had the chance to bring it up yet." Trevor nodded, then turned to Matthias. "Mr. Yoder, when would you be free to have a meal together?" It was a blatant attempt to arrange a private meeting between Wynn and Matthias.
Celeste's expression turned cold. Matthias let out a short, derisive laugh. "Sorry, I'm not free — ever." Without giving them a chance to respond, he turned to Celeste. "Cel, let's go." Celeste nodded, and they left without sparing another glance.
Jorge watched them go, his earlier doubts about Trevor and Wynn dissipating. If Trevor was so eager to broker peace between Wynn and Matthias, then Celeste's biggest advantage — Matthias's unwavering support — could be weakened. For Wynn, it was a good thing.
A little farther away, Matthias clicked his tongue. "You sure you're okay?" Celeste nodded. "I'm fine." Compared to everything she had endured before, this was nothing. They had planned to leave early anyway, and after bidding farewell to Beck — who could see Celeste's discomfort with socializing — they walked out into the night.
