The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

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 now, everyone had witnessed Trevor’s insane wealth, No one else dared to bid further.

And just like that, the emerald jewelry set went to Wynn.

There was nothing else in the auction that interested Celeste, but since the rules required all guests to stay until the auction ended, she had no choice but to remain seated.

The remaining items were even more expensive, and by the time Trevor had spent a staggering 360 million in a single night, Lottie couldn’t hold back anymore.

“No way he’s still bidding, right? Even if he’s ridiculously rich, this is absurd! He’s really spending without hesitation on that mistress!”

Celeste had no answer for Lottie’s outburst. But soon, the answer revealed itself–Trevor did not bid again. When the auction ended, Celeste and Lottie left the hall. Celeste didn’t glance in Trevor’s direction even once. Lottie, on the other hand, kept an eye on them and saw that Jorge had walked over to greet Trevor and Wynn. Just as Celeste and Lottie stepped outside, a well–dressed older woman whom Lottie knew approached them.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lottie, the woman’s gaze landed on Celeste. With a polite smile, she asked, ” Lottie, this young lady seeins unfamiliar who is she?”

Lottie introduced Celeste to her.

Upon hearing her background, the woman’s smile faded slightly. “Oh, so she’s Mr. Rodriguez’s niece. She is quite beautiful…”

The woman knew a bit about the Rodriguez family’s situation.

It was said that Mr. Rodriguez’s sister had suffered depression in her youth, leading to mental instability, and had spent most of her years in a nursing home.

Celeste was indeed stunning, and she appeared well–mannered. If her education was decent, then even with a mother who had mental issues, it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

However, the Rodriguez family’s business had been declining for years.

Despite Ivan’s relentless efforts to save the company, the chances of reviving Rodriguez Corporation were slim.

With these two major flaws, no matter how perfect Celeste seemed, she was still unworthy of marrying into their family.

What a pity…

The woman didn’t say anything outright, but both Celeste and Lottie picked up on her meaning. The woman continued chatting with Lottie, so they didn’t leave immediately.

At that moment, Trevor, Wynn, and Jorge emerged from the auction hall.

Jorge extended a hand toward Trevor and Wynn. “I have something to take care of. Let’s talk next time.” “Next time.”

Jorge nodded and left with his friends.

Soon, more people came to greet Trevor.

As he shifted his stance, he ended up facing Celeste directly. Their eyes met.

Celeste froze for a second–then quickly looked away.

Trevor also withdrew his gaze and resumed chatting with the people greeting him.

Wynn, noticing his indifference toward Celeste, slowly curved her lips into a satisfied smile.

After socializing for over ten minutes, Lottie felt parched. She and Celeste headed to the drink station to grab something to quench their thirst before leaving.
