The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 800

From the moment Narcissa stepped forward, Celeste already knew what she was going to say.

Her expression remained calm the entire time. She didn't stop Narcissa from speaking, but she also had no interest in listening.

Instead, she focused on the little girl who had suddenly appeared.

While Narcissa continued speaking to the crowd, Celeste bent down and calmly said to Jordyn, "Jo, it's pretty noisy here. Why don't you go back first?"

Jordyn had arrived halfway through the incident and had no idea what exactly had happened. She only understood bits and pieces of Narcissa's words and the whispers around them.

Hearing Celeste, she shook her head. "No, Mom. I'm not leaving. I want to go home with you when the banquet is over."

Celeste frowned slightly.

But Jordyn's attention was no longer on her. When she noticed Matthias looking at her, she turned to him as well.

Of course, she had met Matthias before. It had just been quite a long time since they last saw each other.

Seeing this, Celeste gently patted her head and introduced them. "This is Mr. Matthias. Say hello."

Jordyn obediently greeted him. "Mr. Matthias."

Looking at Jordyn, Matthias's emotions were complicated. But when she called him, he still nodded. "Good girl."

Celeste also noticed Hannah standing not far away, looking uncertain whether she should come over. She said again, "Jo, go back with Hannah first—"

…

Narcissa's words had been full of mockery and righteous indignation.

The surrounding guests had pointed fingers and whispered among themselves.

Everyone, including Narcissa, thought Celeste would panic. They thought she would be frightened, desperately trying to explain herself.

But instead, Celeste remained completely calm. Her attitude was almost as if this had nothing to do with her—as if Narcissa's accusations weren't worth her attention at all.

Seeing this, Narcissa's expression darkened.

Quentin also looked unhappy.
