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.

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.

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.
