Wynn just raised the bid by a huge margin again!Celeste felt her heart sink further. She didn't have much money on hand. At the start, her budget for this auction had been set at no more than 30 million. After all, the Rodriguez family's business was struggling, and they didn't have much disposable income to splurge.But now…Jorge raised the bid. "28 million."Celeste raised her paddle. "30 million."She had bid twice in a row after him, her voice soft and clear, carrying a gentle allure. This made Jorge turn his head to look. When he saw Celeste, he paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and smiled.Celeste, noticing his gaze, nodded back politely.Just then, Wynn raised her paddle again. "40 million."Celeste no longer paid attention to Jorge. The moment she heard Wynn's bid, her hands clenched into fists.Jorge raised again. "43 million."Celeste immediately followed. "45 million."Wynn bidded, "50 million."Celeste felt like her mind had exploded. Her initial

Lottie said, "At this point, we can only hope that Wynn doesn't go after the emerald jewelry set."Celeste was thinking the same thing. But was that even possible?The emerald jewelry set started with a price of ten million.Someone bid 15 million.Celeste was the second to bid. "18 million.""20 million.""25 million."Seeing that Wynn hadn't bid yet, both Celeste and Lottie breathed a sigh of relief.But just as Celeste was about to raise her paddle again, Wynn lifted hers. "50 million."The auction hall erupted in murmurs of astonishment as Wynn calmly lowered her paddle.Celeste clenched her fists, thought for a moment, and bid, "60 million.""65 million.""70 million."Hearing this, Celeste hesitated. Her grandmother's seventieth birthday was a rare occasion—if she went up to 80 million…Just as she was considering it, Wynn raised her paddle again. "120 million."Celeste felt a tightness in her chest. After taking a slow breath, she silently put down her paddle.By

There weren't many people around. Just as Lottie was about to speak, a conversation suddenly drifted over from the side."Jorge, are you interested in Trevor's girlfriend?""Interested? Not quite. But she is rather intriguing."Celeste and Lottie froze. It was Jorge and his friends.However, they had their backs turned, and a row of drinks blocked most of their view, so they didn't notice Celeste and Lottie standing nearby."At the auction, I noticed you were also quite taken with that gentle beauty next to Lottie. She's probably still in the hall—aren't you going to go say hello?"Celeste hadn't expected the conversation to suddenly shift to her.Before she could react, Lottie arched an eyebrow, already thinking about dragging Celeste over to play matchmaker.But before she could act, Jorge shook his head, sounding uninterested. "Nah."Lottie paused."Huh? What's this? Lost interest all of a sudden?""Yeah. She's pretty, sure. But she seems so quiet and gentle, like she has

"What the hell!" Lottie was even more furious, itching to tear Wynn apart on the spot."She's just the daughter of a mistress—and a mistress herself! What the hell is she so smug about? Miss Popular? Pfft! She's nothing but trash!"Celeste poured her another glass of water and asked, "Miss Popular?""Wynn is just like what that friend of Jorge, Xavier, said earlier—those brainless second-generation rich kids are all bewitched by her for some reason."Now, everyone calls her 'Miss Popular,' like she's some kind of goddess that everyone loves!"Lottie kept grumbling, "Fine, let those idiots fawn over her—but even Trevor and Jorge?"She got a little too heated, then suddenly realized that Celeste might feel hurt hearing that. She immediately shut her mouth. "No, Cel, I didn't mean—"Celeste shook her head. "I'm fine."Ever since she was a child, Harvey, Lennox, and even her paternal grandmother, Erin, had sided with Wynn.Then, two years ago, Trevor fell for her at first sight, a

Just like the previous property deed, since these items were placed on her vanity table, it meant they were meant for her.Feeling puzzled, Celeste opened one of the round brocade boxes.The moment she lifted the lid and saw what was inside, she froze for a second. It was the set of emerald jewelry she had wanted to bid on at the auction a few days ago!The other box was a rectangular one that looked heavy. Could it be…She put down the round brocade box and opened the rectangular one. Inside, as expected, was a scroll.She picked up the scroll, placed it on the round table in the room, and slowly unrolled it. A stunningly lifelike embroidered painting, shimmering with brilliance, was revealed before her eyes.Looking at the two auction pieces she had wanted just days ago, now both in her hands, Celeste remained silent for a long time.She thought, if she wasn't mistaken, these two items had been bought by Trevor as birthday gifts for her grandma.One would be given in Martha's
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 118
"Lottie?""Sorry, Cel. I have to leave town tomorrow for something, so I won't be able to go with you to pick out a birthday gift for your grandma.""It's fine. I've already bought something."She had never been to this antique shop before. And she originally came just to try her luck, thinking that if she didn't find anything suitable, she could continue shopping with Lottie the next day.She didn't expect to find the perfect gift.Lottie was pleasantly surprised. "Really? That's great!"Celeste smiled. "Mm."Then, Lottie suddenly said, "Oh, right, Cel. A few days ago, you told me you saw the Locket family. I did some digging for you over the past couple of days. "It turns out they really are planning to settle in Baumond. Apparently, they've been house-hunting these past few days."Hearing the mention of the Locket family, Celeste's smile faded slightly. "Alright, I got it.""As for Wynn's mother's side of the family, I heard they've already picked out a house. They'll be

"Oh, it's Mr. Fletcher."Seeing Oscar approach, Harvey and Wynn politely shook hands with him and exchanged pleasantries. "Mr. Fletcher, are you here discussing business with Mr. Yoder?""Yes, Mr. Yoder's company has a few projects I'm quite interested in, so I came over to talk to him about them."Harvey paused when he noticed that Matthias and Celeste remained standing in place without coming over, but he didn't think much of it.Oscar, unaware of the underlying tensions, found Matthias' reaction a bit odd. After all, as a businessman, even if Matthias didn't know the Locket family personally, it wouldn't hurt to go over and greet them, maybe even make a new connection.While Wynn and Harvey chatted with Oscar, Erin greeted him briefly before walking toward Celeste and Matthias, accompanied by Lilian.Matthias glanced at Celeste.However, Celeste watched them approach but didn't move.Erin spoke kindly, "Cel, it's been a long time."Celeste said nothing.Seeing her stubborn

More than ten years had passed, yet Celeste still remembered everything clearly.She recalled that day—how she had gone to the restroom, heartbroken, and when she returned, she saw Erin holding two ice creams, one for her and one for Wynn.One of them had been slightly scraped when a waiter carrying a dirty tray accidentally brushed against it, leaving a bit of grease on it.Wynn immediately picked the untouched one.Erin had merely ruffled her hair with a smile. She didn't bother to replace the dirty one with a new one.When she returned, Erin handed her the damaged ice cream without saying a word about why a chunk was missing.At that time, given the Locket family's financial status, buying not just one but a thousand, even ten thousand ice creams, would have been no issue at all.Yet, she simply didn't replace it.It was at that moment that she became acutely aware—Erin's feelings for her had long since changed.She would also never forget the look on young Wynn's face as s

However, Celeste didn't look up and continued discussing technical matters with the InnovaTech staff.Albert smiled. "Mr. Yoder, do you know Mr. Robinson and Mr. York?"Matthias replied, "Yeah."After all, they were all second- or third-generation elites in Baumond's upper circles, so naturally, they knew each other.It was just that he had taken a different path from them, so they weren't particularly close.After exchanging brief greetings with Matthias, Jorge and Xavier followed Albert to another area to discuss their business.Wynn, however, stayed with Matthias.She had also noticed Celeste, but after just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze, uninterested, and refocused on Matthias."Mr. Yoder, did you just arrive?" she asked.Matthias was highly capable in his own right, and on top of that, he was Zachary's student.Even though she could tell that he held some bias against her because of Celeste and had always been somewhat cold toward her, she still wanted to mai

Maybe because he saw how exhausted they were, Zachary let Matthias and Celeste go home early that night.After a long day, Celeste took a shower as soon as she got home and went to bed early.…There was something that needed their attention at InnovaTech the next day.In the afternoon, Celeste and Matthias found time to make a trip there. As soon as they arrived, they started discussing technical issues.Not long after, Jorge and Xavier walked in, led by InnovaTech staff. Both of them looked surprised to see Celeste.Xavier raised an eyebrow. "She's actually an employee at InnovaTech? What a coincidence."Jorge shrugged. He didn't even really know her, so how would he know if she worked at InnovaTech?Hearing their conversation, one of the InnovaTech staff members said, "Are you talking about Ms. Rodriguez? She's not an employee here. She's a tech specialist from YodaVision, and she's here today to help with some technical issues."Sensing that someone was looking at her, Cel

Wynn was momentarily stunned before she pressed her lips together.This wasn't the answer she'd wanted.Zachary was about to push the door open and leave when Wynn quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Newman, how do you think I should improve?"Zachary paused for a brief moment and replied indifferently, "Do more research. Keep up with the latest developments in the industry."Just as he finished speaking, Trevor returned.Before he could say anything, Zachary stated, "I've done what I needed to do. I'll contact you in a few days.""Alright."With that, Zachary left.Trevor looked at Wynn and noticed her expression wasn't great. "Didn't go well?"Wynn nodded frankly. "He didn't accept me.""What did Mr. Newman say? Tell me about it."Wynn recounted the entire conversation, including Zachary's evaluation and advice."You're definitely capable," Trevor said. "And I think his advice is quite fair."Wynn paused. Lately, she had indeed spent less time diving into professiona

After watching Jordyn and Beck leave, Trevor and Wynn also got into their car and headed to the restaurant.A few minutes after they arrived in their private dining room, Zachary also arrived."Mr. Newman." Seeing Zachary push the door open, Trevor and Wynn both stood up to greet him.Zachary showed no surprise upon seeing Wynn.Wynn politely reintroduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Newman. My name is Wynn Locket. We met before at the technology exhibition—""I know." Zachary's expression remained neutral as he briefly shook her hand.After he had sat down, Wynn took the seat beside him and said, "I greatly admire you. I've always hoped for the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the AI industry face-to-face.""Mm."At that moment, Trevor's phone buzzed. He stood up and said to them, "I need to take a call. You two go ahead and talk."Wynn nodded.After Trevor had stepped out, Wynn picked up the menu and handed it to Zachary. "Mr. Newman, shall we order first and discuss t

It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Matthias and Celeste finally got a chance to take a breather.At that moment, Celeste's phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lottie, asking if she wanted to go skiing with her in the afternoon.Celeste replied via voice message, "I have things to do today, so I won't be going. You go ahead and have fun.""Alright then."In the evening, while Celeste stepped out of Zachary's study to get some water, Lottie sent her another message.This time, it was a few photos. And the people in the photos were none other than Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, Beck, and Shanice.Then, Lottie sent another message: "My friends and I were having such a great time skiing, but then we ran into them. Totally ruined the mood!"Celeste only clicked on one photo. Once she confirmed who was in them, she didn't bother looking at the rest.Seeing Lottie's complaint, she calmly replied with a voice message, "Just enjoy yourselves and ignore them."Lottie qu

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste's hesitation, Beck said, "I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle."Hearing this, Celeste asked, "Are you sure?""I'm sure."Celeste knew Ivan's company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Alright.""Let me know when you're free, and I'll arrange a time to meet.""Alright," Celeste replied.At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, "The night wind is chilly. You should head inside."Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.Beck remained where he was.As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.Only after watching her car disappear into the distance did Beck get into his own car and leave.Betty, Ivan

Jordyn wrapped her arms around Celeste's neck, burying her small face against it to shield herself from the cold wind.Celeste's clothes were soft and warm, and Jordyn snuggled into her embrace, rubbing her face against her neck with enjoyment.Trevor was always punctual. By the time Celeste carried Jordyn to the parking lot, his car had pulled in.Seeing them, the car stopped right beside Celeste.Even though her dad had arrived, Jordyn didn't get down from Celeste's arms. Instead, she playfully said to Trevor, who had lowered the car window, "Dad, carry me inside."Trevor didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car and took Jordyn from Celeste's arms.Happily, Jordyn swung her legs in the air while nestled in his hold.As Trevor leaned in to take her, Celeste caught a familiar scent—Wynn's perfume.When he had been sitting beside her earlier, he hadn't smelled like this.This meant that after leaving them, he had gone to the Shaw family.Trevor looked at her and said,

Zachary said, "Sure."Trevor nodded and turned to Celeste. "Are you going home tonight?"Celeste had still been going over the conversation between Trevor and Zachary in her head. When he suddenly spoke to her, she paused for a moment before responding, "No."Trevor nodded again. "Got it." Then he stood up and said, "I'll come by later to pick Jo up."That meant he was leaving.Celeste replied coldly, "Got it."Trevor didn't say anything else to her. Instead, he walked over to Betty and said, "Madam Klein, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."Betty didn't stand up, and her tone was equally cold, "Sure. I won't see you off."Trevor didn't seem bothered by her indifference. He turned to Ivan, gave him a slight nod as a form of greeting, and then left the banquet hall.Outside the hotel, Beck had just stepped out of his car when he saw Trevor walking out. His movements stalled for a brief moment.Trevor quickly got into his car and drove off.Beck watched but re

Neither Celeste nor Trevor spoke again.Celeste's younger cousins had rarely seen Trevor before. Now that they were seeing him in person, they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.As someone who had held a position of power for years, Trevor exuded authority effortlessly, even without trying. When he noticed their gazes, he glanced at them briefly.Unable to meet his eyes, they instinctively looked away, not daring to stare any longer.Trevor showed no reaction to this, nor did he make any effort to exchange pleasantries. He simply shifted his gaze away, calm and indifferent.Trevor was the man Celeste loved. She had thrown herself into this love headfirst, and after all these years, she still couldn't escape.Given the way Trevor had treated his own niece for so long, it was impossible for Ivan not to harbor resentment toward him.However, what could he do?The Rodriguez family was powerless against Trevor.Now that Trevor was here, as the host, Ivan had no choice bu
