"Therefore, I specifically asked someone to invite Mr. Yoder, hoping that Ms. Rodriguez will attend the banquet tonight."
Philip then glanced at Wynn and Trevor before continuing. "As for Ms. Locket, I only learned that she was interested in studying under me tonight when I spoke with her. However, after having a more in-depth conversation with Ms. Rodriguez, I became even more certain about who I wanted to take on.
"Before that, I had never given Ms. Locket any definite answer. And once I had made my decision, I immediately turned her down. So, it was not Ms. Rodriguez deliberately taking away Ms. Locket's chance of becoming my student."
After Philip finished speaking, another wave of murmurs swept through the banquet hall.
"When Mr. Newman rejected her, she assumed Ms. Rodriguez had sabotaged her. Now, Professor Lancaster has also chosen Ms. Rodriguez over her, and she still thinks Ms. Rodriguez is pulling strings behind the scenes. She's really shameless!"
"Maybe she's done so many underhanded things that she just assumes everyone else is just like her."
Philip looked toward Celeste, seemingly wanting to say something to her.
Celeste noticed and was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang. She answered it, and after hearing what the person on the other end said, she replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a bit."
Matthias also received a call at the same time.
By then, Philip had already come down from the stage and walked over to them.
However, Matthias spoke first. "I'm sorry, Professor Lancaster. Something urgent has come up, and we need to get back to the company. We'll take our leave now. And I'm really sorry about tonight."
"It's alright." Philip looked at Celeste after saying that.
Now that he knew that Celeste was Zachary's student, there was no chance for her to become his student anymore. He couldn't help feeling it was a shame.
He realized that Celeste was an exceptionally calm and composed person. The more he observed her, the more he liked her.



Celeste paused before bending slightly and gently patting her head. "Jo, I still have something to take care of. You can go back with her dad…"
Jordyn was unusually obedient this time. Before Celeste could finish, she already knew what her mother meant.
"Mm, okay, Mom. I know. I… I'll go home by myself. You go take care of your things."
Celeste looked at her, wanting to say something. But Jordyn had already waved at her and run off.
However, she didn't go to Trevor as Celeste had expected. Instead, she ran straight past him toward Hannah, who had been waiting nearby.
Celeste was momentarily stunned as she watched her go.
So was Matthias. He turned and looked at Trevor when he realized what had happened.

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....
