The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 467

On the other side, Wynn said, "Mom, here's the invitation you wanted."

"Great. Thank Trevor for me," Lilian said as she put the invitation into her bag. "Tomorrow, are you going to the auction house with us, or is Trevor picking you up?"

Wynn replied, "Neither of us is going tomorrow."

Lilian paused. "Alright."

…

On the evening of the auction, Celeste arrived at the venue with her aunt, Adeline.

At the ticket check, Celeste spotted Lilian and Lennox ahead of them.

Lilian and Lennox also saw them. When she noticed Celeste, Lilian frowned slightly.

This auction had extremely high starting prices, so the invited guests were top-tier elites and wealthy individuals from around the world.

Ordinary rich families couldn't even get an invitation.

If it weren't for Trevor, Lilian wouldn't have gotten one either.

But Celeste—

Well, given how popular Matthias was right now, and her relationship with him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to secure an invitation for her.

Thinking that, Lilian and Lennox averted their gazes.

Since their invitations had been secured through Trevor, their seats were close to the front. Coincidentally, Celeste and Adeline were seated right next to them.

Just as Celeste and Adeline sat down, Miles also entered the venue.

He was surprised to see Celeste there. But then he noticed who was sitting beside her—Lilian.

He let out a quiet "uhh..." This... this was an absolute top-tier battlefield.

After sitting down with his female companion, he hurriedly sent a message to Trevor.

"Celeste is at the diamond auction too... and she's sitting right next to your future mother-in-law!"

Trevor replied quickly. "Okay."

And that was it. There was no follow-up. He didn't seem to care at all.

Miles was dumbfounded. He glanced again toward Celeste and Lilian.

It was just then that Celeste noticed him.

When the diamond was presented, gasps of awe erupted from the crowd of diamond enthusiasts.

Even though Celeste wasn't particularly into diamonds, she was still struck by the brilliance and sheer quality of the rare gem on display.

As for Lilian—though she'd seen and owned many high-end jewels over the years, this was her first time seeing a diamond of this quality.

A self-proclaimed diamond fanatic, she was so awestruck she couldn't even speak. From the moment the diamond was revealed, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Amid the crowd's amazement, the host announced the starting bid—400 million.

As soon as the words left the host's mouth, numerous paddles were raised.

Celeste was one of them.

Sitting right beside her, Lilian saw her raise the paddle clearly.

Though she had noticed Celeste earlier, Lilian had assumed she was just there to join the spectacle. After all, rare diamonds were worth admiring even if you couldn't afford them.

She never expected—

Seeing Celeste raise her paddle, a flash of surprise crossed Lilian's eyes. She finally tore her gaze away from the diamond.

Just then, Celeste spoke up, "500 million."
