The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 116

Chapter 116

“What the hell!” Lottie was even more furious, itching to tear Wynn apart on the spot.

“She’s just the daughter of a mistress–and a mistress herself! What the hell is she so smug about? Miss Popular? Pfft! She’s nothing but trash!”

Celeste poured her another glass of water and asked, “Miss Popular?”

“Wynn is just like what that friend of Jorge, Xavier, said earlier–those brainless second–generation rich kids are all bewitched by her for some reason.

“Now, everyone calls her ‘Miss Popular,‘ like she’s some kind of goddess that everyone loves!”

Lottie kept grumbling, “Fine, let those idiots fawn over her but even Trevor and Jorge?”

She got a little too heated, then suddenly realized that Celeste might feel hurt hearing that. She immediately shut her mouth. “No, Cel, I didn’t mean-”

Celeste shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Ever since she was a child, Harvey, Lennox, and even her paternal grandmother, Erin, had sided with Wynn. Then, two years ago, Trevor fell for her at first sight, and even Jordyn wanted her as a mother.

She had never spoken to anyone about how she really felt about all of it. She had never even truly cried over it.

If she were going to break down, any one of those things would have been enough to make her cry her eyes out. But after all these years, she had gotten through it just fine.

Compared to those things, what did Jorge and his friends even matter? Listening to their conversation earlier, she didn’t feel a thing.

Lottie paused, then said nothing more. Instead, she reached out and hugged her. “Cel…”

Celeste smiled. “It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”

“Okay! And about your grandma’s birthday gift—I’ll go shopping with you another day. There’s no way we won’t find something perfect!”

Celeste smiled. “Alright.”

She held Lottie’s hand, and the two of them left together.
