At that moment, Nathan approached Celeste and Matthias with a guest in tow.
"Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez, a friend of mine would like to discuss something with the two of you. Do you have a moment?" Nathan said politely.
The man was also in the AI industry and had a solid reputation overseas. After excusing themselves from Philip, Celeste and Matthias stepped forward and shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you."
Since the man was also a client of the Lackspur family, Narcissa had no choice but to accompany them.
Although she stood beside Nathan, she never took the initiative to speak. She looked at Celeste with a faint, mocking smile, her disdain completely undisguised.
Celeste didn't spare her a glance.
Earlier, while Celeste, Matthias, Trevor, and Philip had been talking, Kieran didn't join the conversation. Now that Celeste and Matthias had stepped away, he noticed that Celeste's drink was nearly finished.
Even though he saw Narcissa standing nearby, he called over a waiter and took a fresh drink that matched Celeste's preferences. Then he walked over and handed it to her before gesturing for her empty glass.
Celeste paused for a moment. "...Thank you."
Kieran smiled gently without saying anything. He simply placed her empty glass onto the waiter's tray.
Watching the exchange, Narcissa paused and shifted her gaze to Kieran.
Kieran noticed her looking at him but said nothing, his attention remaining on Celeste.
Narcissa then walked over to him, and they stopped a few steps away from Celeste and her group.
Glancing at Celeste, who was busy talking business with someone else, Narcissa let out a derisive laugh.
"She's already got Matthias wrapped around her finger, and somehow she's still got you hopelessly hooked. I have to admit, Celeste really knows how to play people."
Kieran flicked her a glance. "Are you done?"
Narcissa smiled. "What? Upset because I criticized her?"


If anything, Matthias was the one following Celeste's lead.
The longer he worked with her, the better he got to know her, the more surprises he discovered.
So, how could he not know exactly what he was doing? How could he not know what kind of person he had fallen for?

Narcissa had expected her words to make Kieran question himself. At the very least, she thought he'd hesitate.
Instead, his gaze remained unwavering.
She laughed in exasperation. "What on earth did she do to you?"
Then she sneered. "Has she cast a spell over you?"

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Somehow i am relieved today to see no updates than to be disappointed with yet another irritating show of everyone else's POV but the main characters...
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....
