Chapter 519
---- Chapter 519 Wynn glanced over as well. She, too, had once thought that Matthias and Celeste were in that
kind of relationship. But after learning about Celeste's true connection with Zachary and YodaVision, she was no
longer so sure. 2 She also noticed that after Miles asked his question, Trevor turned to look at Beck-as if he too
cared about the answer. + Wynn pressed her lips together. 2 Miles noticed the gesture, but assumed Trevor was
merely curious. Beck, however, fell silent for a moment before finally saying, " Why don't you go ask her
yourself?" Miles froze, slightly thrown off.
He took that as a sign that Beck simply wasn't interested in gossip about Celeste and Matthias. © Finding no one
to join his line of gossip, he pursed his lips in boredom. 1 Wynn, on the other hand, caught the deeper meaning.
Her lips curved ever so faintly ina mocking smile. 2 ---- If she hadn't known about Beck's feelings toward Celeste,
she might have thought, like Miles, that his silence meant disinterest. But the very fact that he said nothing-that
in itself was already a form of protection. That thought triggered a flash of insight.
She suddenly realized there was a question she had overlooked all this time. The fact that Celeste was Zachary's

was understandable, and Rowan and Kael had no open dealings with Celeste and Matthias.
4 If those two had appeared as well, the scene would have been too sensational-so much so that even the grand
banquet hall might not have been enough to contain such "powerful figures". 2 Harold had brought two gifts. + --
-- After the usual pleasantries, he leaned closer to Celeste and Matthias, saying, "One of these is from Theodore.
He's tied up with government affairs and couldn't break free, but he said even if he couldn't cin person, the
gift must still be delivered." + It might not have been an extravagant present, but the thoughtfulness behind it
was something both Celeste and Matthias genuinely felt. 2 Upon hearing Harold had arrived, Jorge cover a
moment later. "Mr. Jennings." Harold smiled. "Jorge, you're here too?" + "Mm." Jorge was just exchanging
pleasantries with him when a sudden commotion broke out at the entrance-only to be followed by an uncanny
silence. Celeste and Matthias turned their heads.
