All Chapters of The Breaking Point of Love: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

After all, when Matthias had taken her to the previous banquet and the tech expo, Trevor had ignored her existence from beginning to end.As she was thinking about this, the auction started. The host took the stage, and the hall quieted down.Celeste had already gone through the auction catalog in detail. She had her eye on a set of emerald jewelry and an embroidered painting by a renowned artist.Which one she would actually bid on depended on the situation.The auction began quickly.Celeste was focused—if the item wasn't something she wanted, she didn't raise her paddle.Meanwhile, neither Trevor nor Wynn had placed any bids either.After a while, both Celeste and Lottie noticed that Wynn finally raised her paddle. She was bidding on a diamond bracelet.It was a piece from a famous international designer, and just from the style, it was clear that the bracelet was meant for young women.There was no doubt—this bracelet was something Trevor was buying for Wynn.The starting

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

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

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

"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
