The auction began soon after.
Recently, the Lockets and Shaws had become much more stable financially. So, once the auction started, they secured four items in succession, spending around 20 million dollars in total.
Their spending was considered generous. So, many in the room cast envious glances their way and offered polite congratulations as they continued winning bids.
Before attending the auction, Matthias had already set his sights on a few items. With Celeste's input, he successfully bid on a set of jewelry worth over ten million dollars.
The Lockets and Shaws kept an eye on Celeste the whole time.
Although Jorge and Xavier weren't watching closely, they still occasionally glanced over.
Everyone had assumed that he had bought that set of jewelry for Celeste.
Xavier couldn't help but say to Jorge, "Ms. Rodriguez has an unclear relationship with Mr. Fleming, yet Matthias is still so devoted to her, spending so much for her. He must really love her. But honestly, the more I look at her, the prettier she gets. If it were meโ"
Jorge frowned. He knew Xavier wasn't wrong. But he didn't want to talk about Celeste, so he said nothing in return.
Not long ago, the Lockets and Shaws had been worried about money. Now that they're more stable, they had been feeling quite pleased with themselves.
But their expressions turned unpleasant when Matthias casually spent over ten million dollars on jewelry for Celeste.
Linda was practically consumed by jealousy. "Did he just give something worth over ten million away just like that? Is Matthias an idiot or what?"
Wynn and Lilian said nothing.
Matthias and Celeste, however, had no interest in what others thought.
Celeste had come along merely to offer advice. But as the auction neared its finale, she became interested in the highlight of the eventโa master-level traditional painting.

But after Celeste raised her paddle a couple more times, they began to notice that her bidding number was different from Matthias's.

After all, it was Matthias who had raised the paddle when the jewelry had been auctioned earlier.
Even Jorge looked surprised.
At that moment, someone suddenly recalled something.

"Just how wealthy is she? What's her background?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I think there wont be a closure anytime soon, with the speed with which the story is flowing. New characters are being introduced, sides and opinions are being formed blindly - yet no one is ever discussing anything with each other. This is by far the most frustrating novel i have read and yet, come back for an update in a hope that there may be something in reader's favor now. Sigh! There is nothing. If author doesn't want to take Celeste Trevor route, then let Celeste move on like Trevor has. Enough with this beating around the bush....
Y cant you give more chapters.... Really disappointed.. My fav novel produce only one chap per day๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐...
I can't even believe there are almost 800 chapters and absolutely no story line advances. Basically Trevor is absolute trash and deserves to be mocked and scorned because of his cheating nature, bringing his mistress around like he's single and flaunting the billions he spends on her as if he is not already married for 7 years. Celeste deserves everyone to know her story and be free of this loser....
Very slow in updating chapters๐.... Tat too only one... It vil be useful if updates have 5 chap a day or atleast 3 per day...
I am getting frustrated with story, what is the point in dragging this on? How come Celeste is always portrayed as the villain when she hasnโt done anything wrong? Get on with outing Wynn, Iโm sick of her!...
๐๐๐๐๐eagerly waiting fr next chapters...
Y only one chapter per day๐คฅ vry sad...
Why am i reading this novel still? In what hope, seriously? To have Trevor regret his choices? To get some clarity or closure on so many gaps this novel offers? To have Shaws & Lockets ever face repercussions? To get clarity on Celeste's mother life? Because seriously, 720+ chapters gone by and from last 350 chapter - there has been no significant progress, the story has been playing around in loops. This is just sad...
No updates still๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก...
Y u stopped in middle.. Pls my fav story... Pls do post...
