The Breaking Point of Love

The two colleagues beside Celeste stole glances at Wynn and hurriedly stepped back, pressing themselves against the wall.

Wynn noticed Celeste too but quickly looked away. Her expression was indifferent, and she acted as if Celeste didn’t exist. She stepped into the elevator with the managers surrounding her.

As the elevator doors closed, Celeste’s two colleagues breathed a sigh of relief before resuming their excited gossip.

“That must’ve been Mr. Fleming’s girlfriend, right? Wow, she’s stunning! Look at all those designer labels–what she’s wearing must cost a fortune! As expected of someone from an affluent family. She’s so confident and poised. Compared to us ordinary people, she’s on a different level!

“Exactly!”

They turned to Celeste and asked quietly, “What do you think, Celeste?”

Lowering her eyes, Celeste answered lightly, “Yeah, you’re right.”

Wynn was, in fact, the illegitimate daughter of Harvey Locket, Celeste’s birth father.

Well, the term “illegitimate” wasn’t entirely accurate after some changes took place.

When Celeste was eight, Harvey was unwilling to let Wynn and her mother suffer any longer. He had insisted on divorcing Celeste’s mother, Isabelle Rodriguez, to marry Wynn’s mother.

After the divorce, Celeste lived with the mentally unstable isabelle. They stayed with her grandmother, Betty Klein, and her uncle, Ivan Rodriguez-

Over the years, Ivan’s company declined while the Locket family’s business flourished.

It was said that to make up for Wynn’s childhood hardships Harvey spared no expense in ensuring she had the best of everything. Thus, he invested heavily in her upbringing.

And Wynn didn’t end up becoming a disappointment. In fact, she’d excelled.

The once–illegitimate Wynn became a legitimate heiress. She radiated an air of wealth and sophistication that surpassed even Celeste’s when she was the rightful heiress.

Celeste had thought that this would be her only encounter with Wynn, and they wouldn’t cross paths again. Yet, fate seemed to favor Wynn.
