Chapter 53

Author: Cloudsearcher
Matthias glanced at Celeste and, sensing that Cole seemed to look down on Wynn, asked, "Mr. Turner, do you have a grudge against the Locket family?"

Cole shook his head. "I wouldn't call it a grudge, but… Stella Smith—the lady who had an argument with Ms. Locket last night—is the daughter of an old friend of mine.

"I've known her since she was little. She can be a bit impulsive, but she's not unreasonable.

"Her fiancé, that kid from the Lowe family, John, got quite close to another girl two years ago—so much so that he was on the verge of breaking off his engagement with Stella.

"But then, somehow, that girl ended up getting acquainted with Trevor, and suddenly, she and John weren't in contact anymore…"

From Cole's words, the implication was clear. Wynn had previously interfered in Stella's relationship with her fiancé. However, after Wynn managed to climb to a higher status, she withdrew herself.

But what really frustrated Cole wasn't the past—it was last night's incident at the

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 553

    Along with Beck's bouquet came a simple card and a small handmade flower from Shanice. That gift from Shanice had been sent through Beck.In Celeste's view, Beck sending flowers was nothing more than politeness. Even if it was just courtesy, since she had received the gift, it was only proper to thank him personally.So, she called him.Beck had been expecting her call, and he'd been waiting for it for quite a while.So, the moment her number appeared, he answered immediately and spoke first, "Got the gift? Happy birthday.""Yes, I did. Thank you for the flowers, and please also tell Shanice that I really liked her gift."Beck chuckled softly. "I will. Shanice actually prepared and sent it out half a month ago. Knowing you liked it will make her really happy."Hearing that, Celeste's heart warmed. "Please tell her that when she's free to come back to Baumond, I'd like to take her out for a meal.""Alright, I'll tell her.""Then I'll leave you to it," Celeste said. "And... Than

    Hector was stunned. "T-That expensive?"Even Betty and Adeline were taken aback.Betty turned to Celeste. "Cel, come take a look."Celeste had heard everything they said.When she first took the box, she could already tell from the weight and texture that Trevor's gift wouldn't be cheap, but she hadn't expected this.Just as her aunt said, the red diamond Trevor gave her was far more brilliant and pure than the one she had auctioned off before. And that estimated two billion was likely a very conservative figure.From the look on Celeste's face, everyone could tell she didn't expect Trevor to give her something so extravagant either.Hector frowned. "So, what now? Return it?" After all, she and Trevor were about to get divorced. A gift like this—"Keep it."Betty closed the brocade box and said firmly, "Just think of it as something for Jo. When she grows up, pass it to her. If you refuse it now, it'll only end up benefiting someone else."That "someone else", of course, refe

    Jordyn handed Celeste the gift Trevor had prepared for her—but just as Celeste reached out, Jordyn pulled it back and clung to her hand coquettishly. "Mom, look at my gift first!"Celeste paused. "...Alright."She opened the box as Jordyn watched eagerly.Inside was a neatly framed oil painting. The person in the painting was her. In the lower right corner, a line of small words read: "To my Mom, happy birthday."Celeste felt her heart jolt as if struck. Her hand froze midair, gripping the frame.Jordyn shook her hand gently. "I painted it half a month ago! Do you like it, Mom?"Snapping out of her reverie, Celeste looked at her daughter's hopeful face. Her emotions were a tangled mess, but she answered honestly, "I love it. You're getting really good at painting, sweetheart."Hearing that, Jordyn's face lit up with pure joy. "If you like it, I'll paint another one for you next time!""...Okay."Satisfied, Jordyn finally stuffed Trevor's gift into her hand. "Mom, I have to go

    Celeste shook her head.Matthias asked, "Is it still because he's busy with work?""Mm."Matthias fell silent.Granted, Trevor's recent business ventures had been making waves, but no matter how busy he was, it didn't make sense that he couldn't spare even half an hour to finalize a divorce.If Matthias didn't already know the full story, he might've thought Trevor was deliberately dragging his feet. But knowing their situation, that was impossible.He patted Celeste's shoulder. "Then give it a few more days. If he still hasn't made time by the end of the reflection period, just file for divorce directly."Celeste nodded. "Okay."Although she said that, deep down, she didn't think it would come to that.…Two days later, it was Celeste's birthday.She woke up early that morning. Betty and Adeline were already busy in the kitchen, making pancakes and preparing cake.They had long since gotten her birthday gifts ready.When Celeste came downstairs, they handed them to her wi

    Celeste didn't want to deal with Trevor, so she turned to Jordyn instead. "Jo, I still have things to handle tomorrow, so—"Jordyn immediately said, "Then we can just go home early tomorrow!"Celeste was speechless.She looked at Trevor. Her expression clearly said, "You started this, you fix it."Trevor caught her look and understood perfectly.He gave a small smile and didn't push her further. Instead, he patted Jordyn's head and said gently, "Since Mom has work tomorrow, let's head back for now. We'll come again next time to see the stars."Hearing that, Jordyn wasn't too disappointed. After all, she'd had an amazing day already. "Okay then," she said cheerfully.Before leaving, they had the staff pick some fruit for them to take home.The manager came over to ask, "Would you like to bring the wine you made this afternoon with you?"They had separated the batches earlier, specifically so each could take their own home.Celeste wasn't sure what Trevor planned, but she said,

    Xavier had seen it too. But both of them only caught a glimpse of the woman's back. They didn't see the face clearly.Even so, Jorge instinctively assumed the figure was Wynn. After all, Wynn was indeed very close to Trevor's daughter.After glancing a few more times and seeing Jordyn happily throw herself into that person's arms, he didn't look again.Turning to Xavier, he said, "Let's go."Xavier had also assumed that person was Wynn. Hearing Jorge say that, he was a little surprised. "You're not going to say hi?"Jorge didn't explain. He simply said, "Let's go," in a calm tone.And so, they left.On the other side, Celeste hadn't noticed them at all....Meanwhile, at the Locket residence, it was already five in the afternoon.Wynn picked up her phone and called Trevor, wanting to ask him out for dinner. The call went through, but no one answered. 20 minutes passed, and there was still no reply. She held the phone in silence for a while, then put it down without calling
