The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 436

“Cel understands engines and chips? How is that possible?”

Even after Celeste’s paper earlier caused a stir, Harvey still didn’t believe she was truly the one who wrote it.

And now Lilian was telling him that Celeste was very skilled in things like engines and chip technology?

How could that be possible?

Lilian lowered her gaze. Whether it was possible or not, they only had to check online to find out.

A moment later, after watching part of Celeste’s presentation from Velotra’s launch event, Lilian’s heart gradually sank.

Harvey, on the other hand, still couldn’t believe it. (1)

Then Linda said angrily over the phone, “She did it on purpose! She sabotaged Uncle Harvey’s transportation project, and now she’s trying to target Wynn’s company too!” 5

On that point, both Harvey and Lilian agreed.

Whether the breakthrough technology shown at the press conference truly belonged to Celeste or not, one thing was clear–Velotra’s launch event would deal a serious blow to InnovaTech.

Before they could say anything, Linda continued, now full of anxiety. “What do we do now? Everyone’s saying Velotra will likely dominate the autonomous vehicle market going forward. Wynn’s company has no competitiveness left-” (2

Although Velotra did seem impressive right now-

Lilian released her clenched fist and said in a calm, unaffected tone, “Technology evolves every day. Today it’s your company with the breakthrough, tomorrow it’s mine with a better edge.

“Autonomous vehicles haven’t officially launched on a global scale yet. We still have time. Fortune is a fickle mistress. It’s too early to say who’ll truly win the market once these cars are commercially available.”

What Lilian said wasn’t entirely wrong.

However, Harvey knew very well that his own tech company had failed to produce any real competitive breakthroughs for years. He also knew it wasn’t easy to gain a technological edge. 1

After all, if achieving tech breakthroughs were simple, there wouldn’t be so few tech giants in the world, whether in the country or abroad. The key to technological breakthroughs lay in gaining the upper hand early.

And Velotra’s breakthrough wasn’t just on one front–it was on multiple fronts, and their advancements had global significance.

Other companies could only look up to Velotra or try to catch up. That might take a year or two at best, or ten to twenty years at worst.

And by the time they thought they had caught up, the market would already have no

Harvey was visibly unsettled and said, “I wonder what Trevor thinks about all this.”

Lilian understood that he meant to contact their daughter.

place left for them.

She replied calmly, “They still have important matters to handle. Let’s wait until Wynn and Trevor are done with their work before talking about it.” noveldrama

“Alright.”

There was no other option.

After having dinner with Trevor and Leroy, Wynn returned home.

Although her family hadn’t contacted her during the dinner, she knew for sure that they were already aware of what had happened at Velotra and with Celeste.

As expected, when she arrived home, she saw her parents and Linda there.

Before anyone could say a word, she asked first, “You know about it already?”

“Mm,” Lilian replied. “So, what does Trevor say about it?”

Wynn sat down and shook her head. “Trevor didn’t say anything.”

Lilian, in the middle of lifting her teacup, froze. “What do you

mean?”

Wynn answered, “Regarding Velotra’s launch today, he didn’t say a word.”

Trevor hadn’t commented at all–not on Celeste, not on Velotra’s future. Nothing.

Lilian froze again.

Harvey and Linda both looked stunned.

This wasn’t like Trevor at all. 10

Velotra’s launch was putting InnovaTech under such massive pressure.

Under normal circumstances, Trevor would have comforted Wynn, told her not to worry, and then carefully analyzed Velotra’s tech breakthroughs from every angle–technical, market, and business–and discussed what strategies they needed to adopt to overcome the current crisis. 16

But this time, he’d said nothing. 15
