The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 167
Just now, Matthias had called her to say that he had arranged for a lawyer, and she would be meeting them tomorrow morning
Celeste needed to finalize the divorce as soon as possible.
Beck knew she had misunderstood, but he didn’t correct her. He simply responded, “Alright.”
At this point, Celeste assumed he was about to hang up. But when he didn’t, she asked in confusion, “Mr. Harper, is there anything else?”
Beck could tell that her voice was calm–there was no trace of the pain, sorrow, or turmoil he had expected.
But… Was that really the case? Or was she just suppressing her emotions?
When he remained silent for two or three seconds, Celeste prompted, “Mr. Harper? Are you still there?”
He snapped back to reality and replied, “Yes.”
Celeste asked again, “Is there anything else?” Then, without hesitation, she added, “I have other matters to handle. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up.”
Beck had no choice but to say, “Alright.”
Without further conversation, Celeste ended the call.
Zachary had taken a liking to one of her recent research ideas. A few days ago, he had messaged her, asking her to organize her content.
He offered to review it and, if there were no issues, guide her in submitting it to a journal.
She had been very busy with InnovaTech and YodaVision recently, so this project had seen little progress. Now that she finally had some free time, she wanted to get it done as soon as possible.
With that thought, she put her phone aside and opened her laptop.
After hanging up, Beck called Miles back and asked, “Trevor wants a divorce and full custody of Jo. She must have disagreed, right? Are they preparing for a legal battle?”
The reason Miles had called him earlier was precisely to discuss this matter.
He quickly replied, “No! She agreed! Whether it was the divorce or custody, she didn’t object at all. She just signed the papers. She was completely calm–I swear, it’s like I saw a ghost!”
Hearing this, Beck was equally shocked. This wasn’t something Celeste would do.
Just like Miles, he also found it hard to believe that Celeste would so easily give up custody of Jordyn. It didn’t make sense.
Miles asked, “So, what do you think is going on?” Before Beck could answer, Miles continued, “Could it be that she’s using this to gain Trevor’s sympathy? Trying to make him feel guilty?”
Beck had no answer. He couldn’t deny the possibility–knowing how deeply Celeste felt for Trevor, it wasn’t out of the question.
After a moment of silence, he asked, “What about Trevor? How did he react?“.

Miles said, “Trevor was definitely surprised. During dinner ht the manor, I could tell he was paying more attention to Celeste than usual.
“Damn, if my guess is right, Celeste is really playing a smart game here. Can’t underestimate her!”
Beck replied coolly, “Or maybe… She truly wants a divorce.
Miles paused. “You mean Celeste?” He let out a dismissive laugh. “No way. She’s liked Trevor since she was a teenager. After all these years, there’s no way she’d willingly leave him.”
Beck’s words carried a deeper meaning. “People change.”
Miles insisted, “I still don’t believe it.”
Then, changing the subject, he said, “Anyway, this is good news for Trevor. When you get back from your trip, and once Wynn has recovered a bit, we should celebrate.”
Only then did he notice that Beck had fallen unusually silent

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
