Chapter 274
It was already close to noon when they left.
Going home to cook didn’t feel right. None of them were really in the mood.
In fact, they didn’t have much appetite for lunch at all.
But they still had to eat.
Celeste then suggested, “Let’s cat out.
Betty nodded. “Okay, whatever you decide, Cel.”
After parking, Celeste and Ivan had barely stepped out of the car when they spotted the Lockets and Shaws.
It seemed they had come to the same restaurant.
As they arrived, someone recognized Wynn and Harvey, wannly greeting them and inviting them to join their table.
The Lockets and Shaws also noticed the Rodriguezs.
Patricia let out a scoff, looking at them disdainfully.
Lilian barely gave them a glance before looking away.
Wynn didn’t even bother–she acted as if they weren’t there at all.
Just then, the restaurant manager hurried out, addressing Wynn with a polite smile. “Ms. Locket, Mr. Fleming’s preferred private lounge has been prepared for you. Please, this way.”
Wynn gave a small nod, not even glancing at Celeste and her family. Instead, she turned to Cassian, the man who had just invited them to dine together. “Apologies, Mr. Vale but this is a private family gathering. Let’s arrange something another time.”
Cassian, sensing the clear rejection, quickly nodded. “Of course, of course. I wouldn’t dream of intruding on your family dinner.”
Without another word, Wynn followed the restaurant manager inside.
Celeste hadn’t expected to run into them here.
She looped her arm through Betty’s, hesitating a little. Reassuringly, Betty patted her hand. “It’s fine. Just go on
“Alright,” Celeste said.
As soon as they stepped inside, a well–dressed host approached with an apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, but we’re fully booked for the afternoon. Unfortunately, we don’t have any available tables at the moment.”
Celeste had been here plenty of times before.
A full house? Practically unheard of.
This was definitely the Lockets and Shaws‘ doing.
She clenched her jaw.
Celeste wasn’t the only one who realized it. Ivan and Betty had caught on as well.

Chapter 274
“Ms. Rodriguez?”
Upon hearing her name, she turned around, only to see Caleb.
“Hello, Mr. Jennings,” she greeted him.
Caleb’s gaze flicked to the host, who was starting to look uneasy. He then turned to Celeste. “What happened? Why aren’t you going in?”
Celeste’s tone was calm. “Well, the staff told us that all the tables are booked.”
Caleb glanced at the host. “Oh, is that so?”
The host definitely knew who Caleb was.
Moreover, his family–particularly Harold–was inside the restaurant at this very moment.
Seeing that Caleb might intervene on Celeste’s behalf, the bost panicked and stepped forward. “We just received word that a table has opened up. A private lounge is now available. Please, come in.”
Celeste didn’t move. She was staring at Betty instead.
“Le
head somewhere else to eat,” Betty said.
“Okay.”
Celeste turned to Caleb. “Thank you, Mr. Jennings.”
“It’s no big deal,” Caleb replied casually. He paused for a second and nodded in greeting to Betty and the others.
The Rodriguezs left.
Caleb stepped into the restaurant, his gaze sweeping over the host.
The host was sweating, forcing a nervous smile, but he didn’t dare say a word.
The fact that he wasn’t offering an explanation told Caleb everything he needed to know–the person behind this had real influence.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I’m not liking where this is headed.. I’m getting the sense that the author is following the revenging husband storyline and Trevor did all this just to avenge his wife...
Isn't this a company that Celeste and Matthias work for? This will be a fatal blow to those scoundrels....
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what happened to Jo... What is the story behind that court summons?...
A court summons? Oh my God, what happened?...
Here we go again…drip-drop. One page a day instead of the promised 5 Chapters and even that stops suddenly so we never know if the story will advance. I swear this author is writing the new page on their lunch break and laughing at us when we get frustrated....
I feel like reading the novel from everyone else's perspective, but the main characters. There has never been a glimpse on Trevor's side of thoughts or intentions. He feels like a ghost in this whole storyline. Although i am glad that Mathias revealed the truth about Celeste, but it still feels empty without main character's thoughts or feelings or voices being shared....
Wynn's reputation is over. I read all these chapters for this moment... I'm really glad that Matthias finally said everything at once. All thanks to the fool Quinton...
So we're going to keep going in circles atp,nothing was revealed that we didn't already know,I mean I would've at least liked to see Trevor's reaction to finding out his wife is the co-owner and coder to CUAP,find out who drugged them.Whats happening with the military blacksite,how come Celeste is so quiet she never stands up for herself. All we're getting is reaction's from side character's who don't matter...
Yes.. I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters......
I don't really understand the writer. Why are Trevor and Celeste silent now? Isn't it about them?...
