The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 144

Celeste drove off after the meal with Beck and Shanice. On the way home, she received a call from Lottie.

“Cel, where are you? I’m exhausted! Hurry up and come pick me up for dinner.”

Celeste didn’t mention that she had already eaten. “Where are you?“”

“Yorkshire Garden,” Lottie said. “It’s that classical courtyard–style residential complex developed a few years ago. I’ve been here all morning with my aunt, looking at houses. I’m dead tired.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Celeste adjusted her GPS and headed toward Yorkshire Garden.

About ten minutes later, Lottie called again. “Damn! Guess who I just

ran into?”

Celeste paused. Lately, there was only one person who could make Lottie curse

right off the bat.

“Trevor and Wynn with her whole family! He’s here showing the Locket family around!”

Staring straight ahead, Celeste’s expression remained unchanged as she let out a neutral hum.

Most of the time, when Trevor and Wynn went out, they would bring Jordyn along. So, the reason he had left Jordyn home alone today was because he was busy showing the Locket family houses.

It made sense. The Shaw family had already settled into their new home. If the Locket family planned to stay in Baumond, they would need to buy property as well.

Upon arriving at Yorkshire Garden, Celeste parked her car and sent Lottie her location.

Lottie texted back that she would be out in a bit.

Celeste asked where she was. She said she wanted to stop by the sales office to use the restroom. So, Lottie sent

her the location.

Just as Celeste was about to step out of the car, she spotted Erin, Harvey, and Lilian walking toward the parking

lot.

They were all smiling brightly, clearly in a great mood.

Celeste got out of the car, but the three of them entered the parking lot from the other side and didn’t notice her.

A few minutes later, as Celeste reached the entrance of the sales office, she ran into Trevor and Wynn. They were walking out surrounded by seven to eight senior executives from the sales team.

Trevor glanced sideways at her while Wynn, holding onto his arm, also gave her a cold look.

Celeste withdrew her gaze indifferently. She walked past them and headed straight toward Lottie.

Seeing her, Lottie gritted her teeth and whispered, “The houses here start at 300 million. I just heard from the staff that the villa Trevor bought for the Locket family is the highest–end model–over 600 million!”

Celeste responded with a simple hum.

Observing her expression, Lottie continued, “And, I also heard that the reason they came here to buy a house is because Wynn’s mom likes the style…”

Celeste’s steps paused slightly, almost imperceptibly. No wonder Lilian had been smiling, so happily earlier.
