Kieran said coldly, "That's my business."
Narcissa laughed again, more out of frustration than amusement.
Looking toward Celeste in the distance, she said, "Do you really think you know her that well? The truth is, what she did to Wynn is just the tip of the iceberg. She's done plenty of disgusting things—you just don't know about them."
She couldn't understand why Kieran would fall for Celeste after everything she'd supposedly done to Wynn.
But then again, Celeste was undeniably beautiful. She had an elegant, gentle temperament that made her seem harmless and kind at first glance. It was easy for people to be fooled by her and develop a good impression of her.
Wasn't that exactly what had happened to her own brother?
Even after Celeste refused to work with the Lackspur family because of their personal conflict, he had somehow still developed a favorable opinion of her.
Celeste really was good at playing the innocent.
If Narcissa didn't know about Celeste's past, she might have been deceived by that refined appearance and calm demeanor herself.
But she did know.
She remembered the underhanded methods Celeste had used to marry Trevor. She remembered everything Celeste had done to target Wynn.
Her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
From the way Narcissa spoke, it sounded as though she knew things he didn't. Even so, Kieran trusted Celeste. He also trusted his own judgment.
So, he didn't respond. His gaze remained fixed on Celeste.
Wherever she went now, she naturally became the center of attention. She was brilliant and radiant, yet still so modest and gentle.
He simply couldn't take his eyes off her.
Narcissa had said so much, but when she turned and saw that Kieran remained completely unmoved, that his eyes still only had Celeste, she became furious.


Meanwhile, Xavier took a sip of his drink and glanced at the time. Then, he said while yawning, "It's already past nine. This is getting boring. How about we head out?"
Jorge took a sip of his own drink before replying, "I want to stay a little longer. If you're bored, you can leave first."
Xavier was a little stunned. But he didn't need to think twice to know why Jorge wanted to stay.
He just wanted to see Wynn some more.
Too lazy to argue, Xavier turned to Caleb. "Caleb, if he's not leaving, then we—"
"I'd like to stay a while longer too," Caleb interrupted.

Hearing his answer, Jorge paused for a moment.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
This is exhausting! Even with the truth spilled why are we so focused on the nonessential characters assumptions and opinions. This is spending not enough time on the MC. The ping pong of revelations and denial with corrections. Same exhausting pattern 😭😡...
I still feel we are too far from the closure..Author is just playing with us by updating the chapters excruciatingly slow and then with every chapter - revolving around the bush. People are still finding reasons to defend Wynn. I am afraid, the author will again leave the readers hanging, letting the rest of the story unfold after probably 1000 more chapters...
One chapter?! After 4 days of no updates 🤯...
This is Sisa, I want to put her underground... What kind of talk is this, man? She's taking advantage of Jordyn being here....
Y no updates... Frustrated...
The one-page updates have stopped again. It’s been 4 days since the last one-page update. There never was a promised 5 chapter update in the history of this story. It has been dribbled out, line-by-line for a very, very long time. Please end our torture and finish this story....
No update in four days… The cliffhangers are dreadful...
Please update...
I hope this isn’t another story where the husband lets all this happen just to say he was in love with her all along and was doing this to humiliate and get back the people who wronged her and her family. That just doesn’t make sense and if it is I hope the writer doesn’t have Celeste take him back and hope Caleb is her guy because Beck knew the full truth and decided to come to terms with who Celeste was after years of bullying her too....
Y no updates😔...
