The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 823

When Celeste walked into the house, she discovered that Martha had come to visit.

Seeing her, Martha smiled. "Cel, you're back."

Celeste smiled as well. She set down her bag and sat beside her. "Grandma, when did you get back?"

Celeste knew that Martha had gone to another city to escape the summer heat some time ago.

Martha took her hand. "I got back around noon today. I bought quite a few local specialties while I was there, so I brought some over for all of you."

After chatting for a while, they sat down for dinner.

During the meal, Martha shared plenty of amusing stories from her time in the other city. She and Betty hadn't seen each other in quite some time, so they had no shortage of things to talk about.

Martha stayed until nearly nine that evening before finally preparing to leave.

As Celeste and Betty walked her to the door, Martha's smile finally faded.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I've heard about everything that's happened these past two days. As for what happened with the Locket family's company, Lincoln and I have already spoken to him. He agreed not to step in and help them, but..."

But even if Trevor had agreed not to help the Locket family for now, no one could say what he would do once the situation died down.

Celeste and Betty had already thought of that from the beginning, even without Martha saying it aloud. They also knew that this was probably the main reason Martha had come over tonight—to make her position clear to them.

Martha took Betty's hand, her eyes turning slightly red.

"The Lockets and Shaws have done so much harm to Isabelle, and yet my useless grandson still..." Her voice trembled.

"My friend, I'm... I'm so sorry. I know I shouldn't have come to see you anymore, but I couldn't just pretend I knew nothing about this..."

No matter what, she still had to make her position clear to the Rodriguez family over what had happened recently.

Otherwise, she was afraid that the friendship between their families, which had lasted for so many years, would slowly fall apart.

"We've been friends for so many years. Don't say things like that." Betty quickly took her hand and patted it gently.
