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

"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

As they walked further away, Oscar asked, "Is there something going on between you both and the Lockets?"Matthias and Celeste exchanged a glance. Then, Celeste said, "No, there isn't."It wasn't a misunderstanding, after all.However, Oscar misunderstood her words, thinking that she truly had no conflicts with the Lockets. "Very well then." Oscar was optimistic about YodaVision's prospects. Hence, he remarked sincerely, "Considering how highly Trevor regards Ms. Locket, the Locket family is about to skyrocket in status. The Flemings, especially Trevor, are not people to mess with. Even if you don't want to get close to the Lockets, it's best not to provoke them."Celeste smiled, realizing what Oscar had said was quite ironic. Who else but her would ever be told to maintain a good relationship with her husband's mistress, all because her husband cared about his mistress too much?Matthias couldn't stand listening to that as well.He said, "We're not afraid of Trevor at all.

Melissa likes Celeste? How is that possible?If what Miles said was true, then what she told Melissa yesterday…Thinking about how Melissa had left during their conversation yesterday, Wynn's heart sank.Perhaps noticing her change in expression, Trevor, concerned, asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"Wynn snapped back to reality, forcing a smile. "No, I'm fine."Later that day, she informed her family.Upon hearing that Melissa liked Celeste so much, even agreeing to let her be their daughter-in-law, both the Shaw family and the Locket family were in disbelief."Celeste is married with a child, and her family background is ordinary. But Matthias' family is well-off and successful. How could the Yoder family possibly agree to them being together? Did Mr. Quinton misunderstand?""That's right," Linda hurriedly added, "Or maybe that woman hid her past? The Yoder family doesn't know she was married, which is why they—"Wynn also couldn't understand why the Yoder family

The next morning, Trevor, Jordyn, and Wynn arrived early at the sports hall for Jordyn's competition.After they had been there for a while, Beck and Shanice arrived as well.Jordyn saw them and greeted, "Mr. Harper, Shanice, you're here."Shanice came over and shook Jordyn's hand. "The competition is about to start. Are you nervous, Jo?"Jordyn was very calm and shook her head. "No, I'm fine."Beck had some business to attend to, and he was just dropping Shanice off.Trevor knew Beck was in a hurry and said, "I'll take care of Shanice. You can go ahead with your things."Beck nodded. "Alright, I'll join you all for lunch later.""Okay."Their relationship seemed to be as good as ever. However…Wynn listened to their conversation, her gaze shifting between Trevor and Beck. If Trevor knew that Beck had developed feelings for Celeste, would their relationship still be as good as it was now?Beck noticed her gaze and gave her a slight nod. But he didn't speak to her, just turne

After Sebastian and Melissa left, Trevor asked, "Did you finish talking to Mrs. Yoder?"Wynn smiled slightly and nodded.Looking at Melissa's expression earlier, it seemed that she was becoming increasingly displeased with Celeste.…Melissa had actually known about the issues between InnovaTech and YodaVision long before. Matthias had already informed her in advance.When Melissa was talking to Wynn, she didn't really get a phone call—she had recorded their conversation.She walked a little further away, glanced at Trevor and Wynn, and then sent the recording to Matthias.Matthias and Celeste had not finished work yet. After listening to the recording, Matthias smiled and went to Celeste's office to inform her of the situation.After hearing the news, Celeste said, "Now I can be sure that we'll definitely win the lawsuit.""Exactly."Their insistence on suing for contract termination was not only because they really wanted to break the contract with InnovaTech, but also beca

Wynn had thought she would have to wait a few more days for news.However, that afternoon, Trevor called her and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Yoder will be attending an auction tomorrow. Would you like to go?"Wynn smiled and replied, "Sure."The next evening, not long after arriving at the auction, Trevor took Wynn over to greet Sebastian and Melissa. He introduced Wynn to them.Sebastian and Melissa knew about Trevor's relationship with Celeste and were aware of all the conflicts between Celeste and Wynn. However, when they saw Trevor, they didn't let their feelings about Celeste show.They smiled and shook hands with Trevor, greeting him warmly. When Trevor introduced Wynn, Melissa also smiled and politely shook Wynn's hand, saying, "Hello."The auction was filled with the elites from high society.After some casual conversation, Trevor and Sebastian, along with others, began discussing business matters.At this moment, Wynn saw an opportunity and started chatting with Melissa alone.

Caleb was still thinking about it when Jorge asked him again, "Caleb, besides your father and my old man, do you know anyone else who has Zachary's contact info?"Caleb replied, "No one else."Then, as if something occurred to him, he added, "But didn't you say Ms. Locket had met Zachary before? I imagine she should have his contact. "If talking to Mr. Newman could resolve things, wouldn't she have already reached out to him herself?"Jorge said, "I thought about that too. But since she's directly involved, unless absolutely necessary, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to contact Mr. Newman just to complain about Matthias, right?"He was actually being pretty considerate. Seems like he liked Wynn more than he realized.Jorge said, "Forget it, I'll try asking some other people.""Alright."The fact that Celeste was also one of Zachary's students hadn't been made public meant that it was to remain confidential. Since that was the case, it wasn't his place to share it with Jorge
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 359
Theodore refused to help, so Jorge immediately decided to contact Zachary himself.However, he didn't have Zachary's contact information.He messaged Theodore asking for Zachary's number, and Theodore simply replied with a single word. "Nope."Before he could even react, Theodore sent another message. "I've already spoken to Harold too. Don't waste your time."Seeing that, Jorge was genuinely a little angry.But when he tried calling Theodore again, the call went unanswered.Since Theodore and Harold were both at a dead end, he thought of Caleb.He remembered Caleb had mentioned before that he had some work-related interactions with Zachary. They'd even had a meal together.With that in mind, Jorge reached out to Caleb.Caleb didn't return his call until the evening. After hearing that Jorge was looking for Zachary's contact info, he said, "I don't have Mr. Newman's number.""You don't? Didn't you have dinner with him and my old man before? You guys didn't exchange contacts?"

Before Jorge could finish his sentence, Theodore cut him off. "You're trying to say that he's siding with Celeste again and bullying Ms. Locket, aren't you?"Jorge was surprised that Theodore hit the nail on the head. "Old man, how'd you know? Don't tell me you already know what happened?"Theodore replied, "I don't. I guessed."Back when Celeste and Matthias agreed to work with his foolish son for his sake, it was clear they wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him in the workplace.His son also wasn't the kind to stir up trouble at work for no reason. So, even if they couldn't become friends, their professional relationship should have stayed smooth.If Jorge didn't clash with Matthias or Celeste personally, then the conflict likely involved someone he cared about—probably Wynn.Earlier that year, when he'd met with Kael, Celeste, and the others for dinner, they'd happened to run into Wynn at the restaurant entrance.At the time, seeing how attentive his son was to

Matthias crossed his legs. "Become what exactly? Blinded by lust? Or unable to tell right from wrong?"Both.Of course, Jorge didn't say that out loud.Matthias saw right through him and smiled. "But why do I feel like the one who's blinded and can't tell right from wrong isn't me, but someone else?"Before Jorge could respond, Matthias added, "Also, the student my mentor values most isn't me. It's someone else entirely. Mr. Robinson, you're giving me far too much credit."Jorge didn't expect that, even after bringing up Zachary, Matthias still showed no sign of remorse.But Matthias wasn't about to indulge him. He said directly, "If you can't bear to watch and want to seek justice on behalf of Ms. Locket, then you're free to terminate our contract."Of course, the condition is that you'll have to compensate YodaVision for the corresponding losses."Jorge thought he had approached Matthias politely and reasonably.But Matthias had been hostile from the beginning, and now, in a
The Breaking Point of Love Chapter 356
Last week, Matthias' lawyer went to InnovaTech to negotiate the contract termination, but the talks fell through. That same day, they filed a lawsuit with the court.When Celeste had that confrontation at InnovaTech with Wynn and the others, Matthias was away on a business trip.Maybe because she couldn't meet Matthias, Wynn hadn't given up on the matter yet.On Monday, when Celeste arrived at work, she saw Wynn again. As before, when the two women saw each other, neither acknowledged the other.When Celeste got to the office, she found that Matthias was already there."You're here early."Matthias shrugged. "I came in over half an hour early just in case someone tried to intercept me."Celeste smiled at that.…Jorge happened to be in YodaVision that day to discuss something with Matthias. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he spotted Wynn.He had already heard about what happened between YodaVision and InnovaTech last week. So the moment he saw her, he immediately u
