“Isn’t that so?”
Jorge, Miles, and the others were also present.
They didn’t know about the grudges between Celeste and the Lockets and Shaws, so when they heard Erin say the guests had mistaken someone for her granddaughter, they didn’t react much.
Neither Harvey nor Lennox said a word in defense of Celeste.
Linda watched it all with a deep sense of satisfaction.
Janet looked like she wanted to say something, but with so many people around, she didn’t dare. She just lowered her head in silence.
Just then, Betty, along with Jamie and Hector, walked out of the elevator.
“Celeste?”
As soon as they stepped out and saw the crowd, Jamie and Hector hadn’t even had time to react before they spotted Celeste, who was about to leave.
Hearing Hector’s voice, Celeste turned her head and saw her grandmother and younger siblings.
Soon, Betty and the others also saw Trevor.
But at the same time, Betty also spotted Harvey, Lilian, and the rest of the Locket family.
Celeste pressed her lips together, then turned around and walked back toward Betty. She gently held her arm and said, “Granny, the wedding banquet is over there.”
For her 70th birthday, Erin had invited some of Youtopia’s prominent families and elites. Among them were people who knew about the grudge between the Locket and Rodriguez families.
Although it had been many years since they’d last seen Betty, they recognized her the moment they laid eyes on her.
And when they heard Celeste calling her and saw that she looked to be around 25 or 26, they quickly realized that this beautiful young woman must be Erin’s other granddaughter.
It was just that, ever since Harvey divorced his first wife, this granddaughter had never been seen at any Locket family events again.
They had previously heard rumors that after her son married his second wife, Eric had completely cast aside the granddaughter from Harvey’s first marriage. 1
They had thought it was just gossip.
But judging by how cold and dismissive she had just been toward Celeste, they now realized it probably wasn’t a rumor after all.
Even more telling, Harvey, her biological father, was standing right there the entire time, yet he didn’t say a single word.
Clearly, he had no intention of acknowledging his daughter either.
Back then, when Harvey insisted on divorcing the well–matched Rodriguez heiress to marry a girl from a poor background, many of these people thought he had lost his mind.

Later, they heard that the Rodriguez family had been on the verge of bankruptcy, a far cry from their former glory. Meanwhile, the Locket family, thanks to the granddaughter born to that other woman, had risen to incredible heights–experiencing a true leap in social class. 1
It was also said that Erin’s grandson was exceptionally talented.
Looking at the Locket family’s current prosperity, and the at the Rodriguez’s decline, everyone suddenly realized maybe Erin and Harvey had made the right choice after all.
It was precisely because the Locket family was so prominent now that many of these people had traveled all the way from Youtopia to attend Erin’s birthday banquet.
In addition to them, a number of top–tier elites from Youtopia’s highest social circles had also come.
These were people the Locket family would never have been able to associate with before. Yet, today, even those elites had made the effort to attend.
Even if they had little personal connection to the Locket family, they still came after receiving the invitation.
This had earned the Locket family some clout.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
ok im done im not reading this trash anymore its repetitive celeste finally speaks and its less than 5 words.this isn't good at all and now we're getting the netizens pov but not hers. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION EXCEPT HER 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....
