Chapter 791

To be honest, both Beck and Miles had been shocked by everything that had happened that night.

Neither of them had expected the senior who had once recommended Wynn to YodaVision to suddenly take the stage and set off such a public storm.

Miles looked completely bewildered.

“Was this all arranged by Trevor? Why didn’t he mention any of this?” he asked Beck.

Beck shook his head. “No idea. He didn’t tell me anything either.”

The two of them immediately started making their way toward Trevor and Wynn, hoping to find out what was really going on.

But ever since Quentin had stepped onto the stage, the crowd had steadily gathered closer.

With so many guests in the ballroom, they had to keep one eye on the confrontation between Quentin and Matthias while searching for Trevor and Wynn.

They had only just spotted where the two were standing. But before they could reach them, Quentin revealed the photos of Trevor and Celeste.

Both men froze in place.

“Holy shit…” Miles blurted out.

At that moment, even someone as slow on the uptake as he was realized that Quentin’s public “exposé” of Celeste definitely hadn’t been orchestrated by Trevor or Wynn.

Beck came to the same realization. He, too, stood there speechless.

Looking at the banquet hall descending into chaos, Miles glanced toward Celeste and Matthias and gritted his teeth. “This is… bad.”

He had never imagined Wynn’s senior would pull something like this out of nowhere. The relationship between Trevor and Celeste had always been kept secret within their circle.

Judging by Quentin’s attitude, he clearly believed the two were having an affair.

Naturally, everyone else thought the same.

Faced with accusations like these, if Celeste wanted to clear her name, she’d probably have no choice but to expose her real relationship with Trevor in front of everyone even if it meant mutual destruction

Beck remained silent.

But Miles quickly thought of something else and lowered his voice. “Then again… Even if Celeste and Trevor relationship is legitimate, the way she got where she is wasn’t. If that’s the case, Trevor’s side still has a chance to come out ahead.”

After saying that, Miles visibly relaxed.

Meanwhile, Lilian, Harvey, and the others were feeling the exact opposite.

They had all been on edge from the moment Quentin had gone onstage. They feared that once things spiraled out of control, there would be no turning back.

More than anything, they worried that if Celeste was pushed into a corner, she’d decide to take everyone down with her by exposing her relationship with Trevor and, in doing so reveal her ties to both the Lockets and Shaws.

That was precisely why, despite desperately wanting Wynn to become Philip’s student, they had swallowed their anger after learning that Philip had chosen Celeste instead.

The more heated the argument between Matthias and Quentin became, the more anxious they grew. However, there was one small consolation.

Quentin didn’t know the truth about Celeste and Trevor’s relationship. As long as things didn’t completely explode, Celeste might choose not to reveal it herself.

After all, her own relationship with Matthias was already enough to invite suspicion. Even if she exposed her marriage to Trevor, she wouldn’t necessarily come out looking any better.

But what none of them expected was that while they were still trying to figure out how to stop Quentin, he would hand them such an enormous surprise.

The instant the intimate photos of Trevor and Celeste appeared on the screen, even the normally calm and composed Lilian was so stunned that she instinctively took a step backward.

The wine in her glass sloshed over, soaking the front of her evening gown.
