# Chapter 340: The Calculated Trap
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 340 of "The Breaking Point of Love" – a chapter where strategy meets emotion, where a simple morning incident turns into a carefully orchestrated game of power and pride.
Let me take you right into the heart of the action.
Celeste had a plan. She made time in the afternoon to sit down with Matthias and fill him in on everything that had happened that morning. Her voice was calm, calculated, but there was a fire behind her eyes. She knew exactly what she needed to do.
"You'll have to shift the focus of the conflict for this," she said, her words hanging in the air like a chess move waiting to be played.
Matthias paused. He studied her face for a moment, and then a slow, knowing grin spread across his lips. "Okay. I know what I have to do."
And just like that, the trap was set.
Not long after, Matthias's phone rang. It was Wynn Locket. He answered casually, letting her voice fill the line with its practiced politeness.
"Mr. Yoder, I wonder if you're aware of the morning incident."
He chuckled, but there was no warmth in it. "Ms. Locket, are you referring to the moment when your family ignored the truth and accused my staff of being incompetent? If I got it right, they also slandered my staff for not being committed to fulfilling the terms of our agreement."
Wynn tried to smooth things over. "I'm sorry, Mr. Yoder. Linda is in the wrong this time. I will..."
But Matthias wasn't done. He cut her off, his voice turning cold and deliberate. "Furthermore, it was made known to me that my staff told you about what happened and defended my company, but you accused her of blowing the incident out of proportion. Did something like that actually go down, I wonder? Ms. Locket, what are you going to do about this?"
Wynn's tone shifted. She was backpedaling now. "Mr. Yoder, we are in the wrong this time. I give you my word that I will keep a close eye on Linda. This won't happen..."
But Matthias wasn't interested in her apology. He laughed softly, a sound that sent a chill through the phone line. "Ms. Locket, I'm afraid this isn't just about Linda. After you learned about the whole incident, you still believed that my staff was blowing it out of proportion when all she did was defend my company. It's clear that you also thought that my staff was incompetent and not fully committed to carrying out their tasks. Ms. Locket, what you did is slander and defame Yoda Vision Co. We're in a collaboration, and yet you can't even show us respect, which was the bare minimum."
He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in.
"I'm sorry, but I can't keep collaborating with someone like you. I hope you will compensate for the damage you've caused to my company's reputation and terminate the contract as soon as possible."
Wynn's expression must have shifted dramatically on the other end. She had thought this was a minor incident – a little spat that could be smoothed over with a few nice words. She never expected Matthias to go straight for the jugular, bypassing Linda entirely and targeting her directly.
"Mr. Yoder, this incident really isn't..." she started, but Matthias cut her off again.
"I have a lot of things I have to do. Here's hoping you will give me a satisfactory answer, Ms. Locket." And with that, he hung up without giving her a chance to respond.
The phone call was over. But the game had only just begun.
Matthias immediately called Celeste. His voice was light, almost playful. "It's done, and I've recorded the phone conversation."
Celeste's voice came through calm and steady. "I appreciate your hard work."
You see, there was a reason Celeste had told Wynn to talk to Matthias about the incident. She had predicted everything. She knew Wynn would tone down her attitude when dealing with a man like Matthias, that she would try to downplay the conflict. But Celeste also knew that Wynn would wrongly assume that Linda was the heart of this issue.
The trap was elegant. Matthias had recounted the incident faithfully on the phone. If Wynn admitted her wrongdoings and apologized to him in person, it would mean she was owning up to the fact that she had ignored the truth and intentionally defamed her collaborative partner. With that audio recording in their hands, Celeste and Matthias now held all the cards.
Matthias scoffed. "Come on. It was very easy, barely an inconvenience." Then his voice turned harder. "At the end of the day, Trevor has to shoulder the blame for this incident. He knew that we had collaborations with Innova Tech. Since he owns a lot of companies, he could have given any company to Wynn for all we care. Why did it have to be Innova Tech? Why couldn't he have picked another company?"
The words hung in the air. Trevor had never once considered what kind of situation he was putting Celeste in. He never thought about how she would feel when her work now involved Innova Tech in the future. He had acted carelessly, selfishly.
Celeste knew exactly what Matthias meant. But she kept her face expressionless, saying nothing.
The game was still in play. And Celeste was not about to show her hand just yet.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a beautifully crafted chapter! The way Celeste and Matthias worked together, reading Wynn's every move before she even made it, was absolutely brilliant. This wasn't just about revenge – it was about strategy, about turning a moment of humiliation into a weapon. The tension during the phone call was palpable, and Matthias's cold, calculated demeanor was a joy to read. You could feel Wynn's panic creeping in as she realized she had walked right into a trap.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With that audio recording in their possession, Celeste and Matthias now have leverage over Wynn and the entire Locket family. But I suspect Wynn won't go down without a fight. She'll likely reach out to Trevor, trying to use their family connection to put pressure on Celeste. The next chapter might see Trevor caught in the crossfire – forced to choose between defending his sister or protecting the woman he claims to love. And Celeste? She's just getting started.
