The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 700

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 me—"

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 event—a 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?"
