The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 217

Just then, Trevor spoke. “Okay.”

Celeste sat across from him.

Once the shock wore off, Wynn’s face returned to its usual calm.

After greeting Harry, she went to stand beside Trevor,

It wasn’t just Beck, the Lockets, and the Shaws were surprised; Caleb and Harry were just as stunned.

While Harold had introduced Celeste to them in the gallery earlier, they still didn’t know much about her.

Seeing how quiet and reserved Celeste was, they figured she wasn’t the type to draw attention to herself.

Hence, they assumed that even if she knew how to play chess, she wouldn’t just challenge others publicly like that.

Brandon didn’t know Celeste as well, but he did notice her presence.

With her striking appearance and gentle, well–mannered personality, Celeste came across the picture of a well- raised, polite young woman.

To him, this kind of young woman seemed to be a great fit as his grandson’s wife.

He didn’t expect Celeste to know how to play chess too.

Trevor looked at Celeste. “You wanna go first?”

The player who started first typically held a strategic advantage.

Upon hearing that, Celeste made the first move.

Trevor followed suit with his move.

In the beginning, they both played cautiously, not giving anything away.

They didn’t talk either.

Celeste focused solely on the chessboard, hardly sparing a glance at Trevor across from her.

Her approach was methodical, with no rush in offense and defense. She was orchestrating the whole game instead of just thinking a few steps ahead.

When they realized this, Harry and Brandon were genuinely taken aback.

Previously, they had praised Wynn for her quick reactions and solid gameplay. However, in reality, she was just following Trevor’s lead, and Trevor was essentially letting her win.

That game went on for a long time, mainly because Trevor was guiding Wynn and letting her win. Their exchange felt more like a couple’s game than a serious match.”

Despite everything, Wynn’s problem–solving and adaptability were well above average for her age.

But now…

Trevor soon caught on that Celeste wasn’t following his lead and was, in fact, trying to guide him into her own. trap.

When he eased off the attack, Celeste didn’t let up. She seized the moment, defending and counter–attacking with precision. Then, she comered him, forcing Trevor to hesitate.

He glanced up at Celeste, offering a small smile.

Brandon, amazed by Celeste’s moves, couldn’t help but applaud. “Impressive!”

Raising an eyebrow, Matthias smiled.

Beck and Caleb, on the other hand, were utterly stunned.
