Wynn knew that, no matter what, she couldn't let the situation continue spiraling out of control. She forced a smile and immediately spoke.
"Mr. Yoder, I—"
But just as she opened her mouth, Narcissa cut in. "Isn't that exactly what happened?"
With her arms folded across her chest, Narcissa looked at Matthias and Celeste with open contempt. Unlike Quentin, she made no attempt to be polite.
"Mr. Yoder, if you had the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to admit it? If you'd just admit it, I'd at least—"
"Cissa!" Wynn hadn't expected Narcissa to suddenly jump in. Her face changed, and she hurriedly interrupted her.
After stopping Narcissa, Wynn turned back to Matthias, intending to explain. But there was no way Matthias was going to give her that chance.
Looking at Narcissa, he smiled faintly. "Ms. Lackspur, if I remember correctly, you're very close friends with Ms. Locket.
"No wonder you stormed into YodaVision not long after returning to the country just to humiliate and ridicule Cel on Ms. Locket's behalf. You two really do have an admirable friendship."
Without giving Narcissa an opportunity to respond, he shifted his gaze to Wynn. "Ms. Locket, one is your senior, and the other is your closest friend. They're both so eager to seek justice for you.
"I'm guessing you've complained to them quite a bit about not becoming my junior."
Wynn knew that the moment Narcissa had spoken, there was almost no salvaging the situation. But she certainly wasn't going to sit back and do nothing. "No, Mr. Yoder, I—"
Matthias didn't let her continue.
He said with a smile, "My mentor doesn't interact much with his students, so there are many things about him that even I don't know. But as luck would have it, I do know a little about your attempt to become his student.
"Ms. Locket, would you like to know how he evaluated you?"
The hand holding Wynn's wineglass trembled.

Quentin had genuinely never expected Matthias to humiliate Wynn so openly in front of so many people.

Quentin didn't notice it. All he saw was how pale she had become and how hard she was trying to stay composed.
He assumed she had been infuriated by what he saw as Matthias's shameless twisting of the facts. His heart ached for her even more.

The anger in Quentin's eyes intensified. Then he laughed—a loud, bitter laugh.
Looking straight at Matthias, he said, "Matthias... You never fail to amaze me. The lengths you'll go to just to protect this woman are truly unbelievable."

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....
