Philip turned to the newcomer, frowning. "And you are?"
His expression had already darkened. He was displeased not only by the rude interruption, but also by the accusatory tone in the man's voice.
Worse still, the man hadn't exactly tried to keep his voice down. If anything, he'd spoken loudly enough for the entire banquet hall to hear.
And just as Philip suspected, everyone nearby caught the question. The surrounding conversations gradually died away as people turned to look in their direction.
Naturally, Celeste and Matthias were among those who heard it.
The two exchanged surprised glances. Neither of them had imagined that Philip had actually intended to take Celeste as his student.
Beck and Miles knew that Wynn had been hoping to study under Philip. They also knew Trevor had planned to bring it up with him that evening.
From what they'd heard earlier, things had seemed to be going smoothly, and Philip appeared to think very highly of Wynn.
But that had only been a short while ago. How had Celeste suddenly become the person Philip wanted as his student?
Miles was stunned.
Beck was surprised as well, but only briefly. Remembering Celeste's capabilities and the fact that Philip and the others still didn't know she was Zachary's student, he quickly found the development perfectly reasonable.
Caleb, Jorge, the Lockets and Shaws, and Narcissa and Nathan had all heard the question as well.
Caleb had just finished speaking with someone when Jorge and Xavier were about to tell him about Celeste. Before they could, however, the sudden interruption drew everyone's attention.
Just moments ago, Xavier had been saying that Philip was planning to take Wynn as his student.
So, Caleb was briefly surprised when he heard the question, but the surprise quickly gave way to a faint smile.


Linda had always been a little afraid of her aunt. The moment she met that icy gaze, she shuddered. Whatever she had been about to say vanished instantly from her mind.
Wynn, meanwhile, was still reeling from the shock of Philip's words.
She had assumed that even if Philip wanted Celeste as his student, he would first discuss it with Celeste before making a final decision.
And the moment he did, Celeste would undoubtedly turn him down.
Even if she had only been the second choice, she would still end up becoming Philip's student.

And before making that announcement, he had even come over personally to reject Wynn.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Somehow i am relieved today to see no updates than to be disappointed with yet another irritating show of everyone else's POV but the main characters...
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
