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)
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....
