The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 172

He gritted his teeth and said, “Our company does need partners to expand the project, but I just can’t stand Jorge…

Celeste knew he was upset because Jorge liked Wynn. But she didn’t care.

She remained calm. “The priority is making sure the project runs smoothly and maximizing our benefits. Everything else is secondary.”

She had met Theodore once. He might have his own agenda, but judging by how Zachary treated him, he was someone trustworthy.

Matthias sighed. “I know.” He was just venting.

Then, with a smirk, he said, “Anyway, there’s still time before we officially start seeking investors. I’ll keep him hanging for a while.”

Celeste chuckled. “Alright.” As long as he was happy.

When he saw the caller ID, his expression was a mix of disdain and satisfaction.

Celeste knew it was another familiar face and asked, “Who is it?”

Matthias grinned. “Beck.”
