Celeste struck the floor with a heavy thud. "The only reason I kept you by my side to learn the piano was out of respe your Rowland family, but you've thrown my words aside, she said, her gaze icy. With that. Celeste slammed the sheet music from the piano to the ground.

This was the first time Celeste, usually composed and elegant in from of the media, had ever lost her temper like this.

"So let me be clear: even if I throw these scores away or burn them, I don't want you playing thern. You have broken our promise, and from now on. I no longer have you as a student!" Celeste continued. "Master!" Emmalie's face turned pale, her body swaying as if she could barely hold herself up.

Thea understood her well. Emmalie wasn't this upset just because she was losing Celeste as a master. It was because Celeste had publicly aired her dirty laundry. For someone as proud as Emmalie, that was worse than death. Moreover, Thea had called Celeste here intentionally. The Rowland family didn't know much about Celeste, but Thea did.

Celeste valued her reputation above all else. Years ago, although she had a bit of fame, it was nothing compared to the wealth of the Rowland family.

At that time. Celester's only sister was gravely ill, and they relied on the tuition money provided by the Rowland family for her surgery. Ivy, desperate to have Celeste take Emmalie on as a student, had even resorted to threats.

If Celeste refused to teach Emmalie, Ivy would make it impossible for her to live in Sarlimar. Eventually, Celeste received the money, and her sister was saved. But that threat lingered like a thorn in Celeste's heart.

Today was just an opportunity for Celeste to vent her frustrations. And Ivy never imagined her intention to please Emmalie would backfire spectacularly.

Thea supported the swaying Celeste hurriedly and called for a doctor quickly.

Suddenly, a glare filled with intense hatred fell on Thea. She lifted her head fearlessly, meeting Emmalie's gaze with indifference.
