Monday morning, just as Celeste arrived at the office building downstairs, she bumped into Kieran, who was also arriving for work.Kieran smiled as he said, "Morning."Celeste responded, "Morning."As soon as she spoke, she caught sight of Caleb nearby. Seeing him made her pause slightly.Kieran noticed Caleb as well and frowned in displeasure.Caleb didn't pay much attention to Kieran and walked straight over to Celeste."I got home early yesterday morning. We haven't seen each other in a while, so I thought I'd come by and say hello."Caleb really had come just to see her. Her attitude had been clear all along, so he didn't want to make her uncomfortable or annoy her.He added, "Go ahead with your work. Don't mind me. I'll leave in a bit."There was honestly nothing more Celeste felt needed to be said between them. His sudden appearance had left her at a bit of a loss for words.Since he said that, she didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded and turned to head upstairs.Kiera
Counting down the days, the ones waiting for Celeste's divorce weren't just Matthias and Caleb, but Beck was as well.So, besides Matthias, Beck also knew that Thursday was the day Celeste and Trevor were supposed to finalize their divorce.He had been on business trips out of town frequently. But this time, he specifically rushed back at dawn on Thursday.After a few hours of rest at home, around 10 in the morning, after he handled some matters, Beck ultimately couldn't suppress the urge to call Miles."I've been really busy lately, and it's been a while since I last had a meal with you and Trevor. Want to grab lunch together today?"Miles replied, "I'm free, but Trevor won't be able to make it. He went abroad on a business trip a few days ago and still hasn't returned."Beck's heart tightened. "Trevor... went on a business trip?"So that means they couldn't finalize the divorce today?He hadn't been in touch with Trevor or Wynn much recently. Calling Miles was actually his wa
On Monday, Celeste went to work as usual.With the high volume of work, she continued running between Velotra and YodaVision.On Tuesday evening, while getting off work and standing in the elevator, Celeste glanced at the date on her phone and lowered her gaze.Having worked all day, Matthias was exhausted too.He suddenly had a hunch and asked, "Tomorrow should be the last day of the cooling-off period, right?"Celeste put her phone back into her bag and replied, "Yes."After all these years between her and Trevor, they were finally about to end things for good.Matthias wasn't sure if he should feel happy for her or sad. Though he had nothing but resentment toward Trevor, thinking of how Celeste had loved him for so many years, only to end up like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.Still, no matter how hard something was, there would be a day when it ended.Once the divorce was finalized, Celeste would finally be able to truly start over.Thinking
Not only did Patricia and Wynn think of this, but so did the others.Linda immediately scoffed, "I said it before—she's not that capable. You just wouldn't believe me."Ruby laughed and added, "It's just that we never expected she'd be so bold, daring to fake it in front of so many people. Right, Wynn?"Wynn didn't reply, but a faint smile slowly curved on her lips.At that moment, Linda cheerfully added, "So, that means after that bitch gets divorced, it probably won't be easy for her to marry into the Yoder family."If Celeste's actual abilities were inflated and her chance of marrying into a wealthy family was slim, then whether it was her or the Rodriguez family, their chances of truly rising up would be even slimmer.With that thought, Patricia, Linda, and the others all felt much better.Once they got into the car, Patricia smiled and said, "Next Wednesday is the last day of the cooling-off period. Once Trevor returns from overseas, they can basically go and finalize the d
The Rodriguez family had already heard about Velotra's situation.Now that Celeste had achieved great success in her career, both Ivan and Betty were genuinely happy for her.To celebrate, they arranged to have lunch together with her on Saturday afternoon.As Ivan's car approached the restaurant and was about to enter the parking lot, it nearly collided with another vehicle coming from the opposite direction.The other driver had failed to control their speed, so technically it was their fault. However, Ivan decided not to fuss about it.Since his car was in front, he should have had the right of way, but the other car tried to cut in. Frowning, Ivan rolled down his window to reason with the driver.Coincidentally, the other driver rolled down their window too—clearly believing they were in the right.But the moment Ivan saw who was inside, his face turned cold.Harvey didn't expect the other party to be Ivan and Betty. Whatever words he'd intended to say immediately stuck in
In the afternoon, after finishing her work, Wynn wanted to ask Trevor out for dinner. She called him several times, but none of the calls went through. Finally, she called his secretary, Jacob.Once the call connected, she asked, "I can't get through to Trevor's phone. Is he still busy?"Jacob sounded a bit surprised. "Boss flew overseas this afternoon for a business trip. You didn't know?"Wynn froze. She really didn't know. Trevor hadn't told her."Was the business trip a last-minute decision?""Yes, it was."Even if it had been a last-minute decision, he surely could have found time to call or send her a message. But he didn't say anything at all.Realizing this, her expression darkened slightly.After a moment's silence, she picked up her bag and left the home office while dialing Jordyn's number.Jordyn was lying in the living room playing with a puzzle. Seeing the call, she quickly answered. "Wynn?""Mhm." Wynn's voice was gentle. "Jo, are you home already?""Yeah, I
