The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 468
As soon as Celeste spoke, not only Lilian, but Lennox, Jorge, and Miles were all visibly stunned.
Lennox's reaction was expected.
As for Jorge, he had previously looked into Celeste a little and knew her family background was relatively ordinary.
While the Rodriguez family's business had recently picked up, it still wasn't at the level where they could casually fork out several hundred million to buy a diamond, right?
Miles, for his part, believed he knew Celeste's situation inside out.
Given the Rodriguez family's current strength, even producing 100 million in spare cash would be difficult—let alone 500 million.
Although Trevor had once paid Celeste two billion in advance as a thank-you gift, the money had been used to help the Rodriguez family with capital turnover.
But even if the Rodriguez family business was doing better now, and even if she still had a large chunk of that two billion left, wasn't it a bit "too much" to casually spend this much money on a single diamond?
Thinking of this, he immediately whipped out his phone, excitedly messaging Trevor.
"When I saw your wife just now at the auction, I was still wondering what she was doing here. Now I get it…
"You know about the diamond being auctioned, right? The starting bid was 400 million, and she immediately raised it to 500 million. Is she seriously trying to buy that diamond? My god, she's gone cra—"
Before Miles could finish typing his message, someone bid 550 million.
Then Celeste spoke again. She directly said, "700 million."
Miles was speechless.
Even though he hadn't finished what he wanted to say, he still hit send and fired off the message to Trevor.
Tonight, everyone attending the auction more or less guessed that this rare diamond would end up going for no less than a billion.
But Celeste, every time she spoke, it was in leaps of 100 million or 150 million. In just three rounds, the bidding had already reached 700 million.
Trevor hadn't replied to his earlier message. But Miles couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly messaged him again.
"Your wife pushed the bidding to a billion. Damn, I think she actually wants to win that diamond. Does she like diamonds that much?"
This time, Trevor replied not long after. But it was just a single period character.
Miles wondered what the hell was that period supposed to mean.
At the start of the auction, quite a few people had been interested in participating. But from both an emotional and investment standpoint, once the price started climbing too high, many people chose to back off—they weren't going to chase it blindly.
Some were truly obsessed with diamonds. Many of them were even far wealthier than Celeste.
However, the wealth people saw in them wasn't necessarily theirs to control. Or even if it was, they didn't have the same freedom as Celeste when it came to how they used it.
So, even if they wanted to compete, due to various considerations, by the time the bidding price reached 1.6 billion, almost no one else remained in the game.

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....
