The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 13

It was Teagan’s voice.

Celeste turned toward the source and saw both Teagan and Trevor.

She stopped in her tracks.

Trevor was smoking in silence.

The distance between them was too far, and with Trevor standing against the light, Celeste couldn’t make out his expression.

Teagan said, “Honestly, I understand. I’ve met Wynn a few times. She’s only 25 and already has a PhD from one of the top universities in the world. I hear she’s also handling her family’s business quite well.

Teagan snorted and said, “That explains it. When she mentioned it earlier, she made it sound like she was resigning voluntarily. I knew there was no way she’d willingly quit. Turns out she got fired. Ha!”
