Chapter 420

作者: Cloudsearcher
When Celeste saw Howard, there wasn't a trace of surprise on her face.

The city's smart traffic project was crucial to the Locket family's tech company, and yet she had swooped in at the last moment and taken it. How could they possibly sit still and do nothing?

Besides, this wasn't going to be the last time she made a move like this.

She would strike again when the time was right.

Now that the bidding had ended and the project was in YodaVision's hands, there was no way the Locket family could snatch it back.

So, if she guessed correctly, Howard had come to see her to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.

And how would he try to persuade her?

By appealing to emotion, of course. Because that would cost nothing.

But Celeste had no interest in playing along with such false sentimentality.

She turned around and cut Howard off when he was about to speak.

"I remember what happened the last time. Madam Locket said in front of everyone that I'm not her granddaug

If the author would have stopped adding so many characters, then she/he could provide the more important POVs.

Man...these people seem to be dangerous...especially Linda. Maybe Celeste needs a body guard.

this is why I preferred watching short films whereby they are not just casting the films and uploading short chapters daily. the one chapter released here is so annoyingly short. and most times irrelevant

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 559

    That day, Celeste and Matthias worked late before finally leaving the office.When Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence, she spent some time chatting with Betty. Just as she went upstairs, several new messages from Jordyn popped up on her phone.When she opened them, she saw that they were all photos. In the pictures were not only Jordyn but also Trevor, Beck, and Miles.After the photos, Jordyn sent a voice message."Mom, I'm out at the hot springs with Dad and the others! What are you doing, Mom?"Celeste replied, "I'm about to take a shower. Have fun, sweetheart."After sending that, she set her phone aside and went to shower.Once she finished, she read for a while and did some research. By the time she started feeling tired and was getting ready to sleep, her phone pinged again.Celeste glanced at it and saw another message from Jordyn.She opened it. It was another photo, taken indoors this time. In the center of the image were three straw dragonflies.But besides

    Celeste thought so too.When there were fewer disputes between both parties, filing for divorce could go quite smoothly.However, she would soon have to make a trip to the military base, and her departure and return dates were uncertain.If she filed for divorce as the plaintiff and missed the court date, her case would be dismissed. In that case, it might be better to proceed with a divorce by mutual consent instead.At least with divorce by mutual consent, once the mandatory waiting period ended, she and Trevor could go collect the divorce certificate at their own convenience. Things might even go more smoothly that way.Since she was sure that if Trevor had time, he would be the first to contact her to finalize the divorce at the courthouse, she hadn't bothered to reach out to him yesterday.After all, if he was busy, there was no point in her pushing him every day.But now—Celeste looked up at Trevor's figure, a faint frown forming between her brows. If a party filed for

    Around dinnertime, when the Lockets and the Shaws saw Wynn getting ready to head out, they finally realized that Trevor had already returned from abroad.When they heard he'd come back that very afternoon, Ruby couldn't help stomping her foot in frustration."What? He came back this afternoon? If only he'd returned half a day earlier! The decision period's already over—"Linda quickly echoed, "Exactly!"In truth, it wasn't just them. Even Lilian and the others felt it was such a pity.Two days ago, when Wynn told them that Trevor probably wouldn't make it back before the end of the decision period to finalize the divorce with Celeste, they still held onto a sliver of hope. They believed that maybe, for Wynn's sake, he'd come back early and surprise her by ending things with Celeste.But as it turned out, Trevor really didn't make it back before the decision period expired.That was why, when they learned he had returned that very afternoon, they felt so regretful.If he had c

    On the very last day of the decision period, Trevor still didn't make it back to the country.Just like that, the divorce decision period quietly passed.Celeste thought he'd probably return after a few more days, but the next day, while she was discussing work with Matthias, Jordyn suddenly called and said that Trevor was back.Matthias let out a disbelieving laugh. "Seriously? Of all times, he comes right after the decision period ends? He's doing this on purpose, isn't he?"Celeste put down her phone and didn't respond.On purpose? Of course not. It was probably just a coincidence.Matthias knew it too, but he couldn't help feeling irritated.He muttered, "Why not just file for divorce directly then... Though, from filing to the first hearing, it'll take at least a month—"Before they could continue, someone knocked on the door, and the topic was dropped for the moment.…Meanwhile, in the group chat with Trevor, Miles, Beck, and Wynn, Trevor suddenly tagged the three of t

    There were so many profitable projects, and yet they couldn't get a piece of it—all they could do was watch. Luther was just envious, though; he wasn't really complaining.After all, as long as Trevor and Wynn's relationship stayed solid, there'd be plenty of chances to make money later. There was no need to rush.Everyone there understood that.Besides, there was something else they were more concerned about now.From the news reports, it seemed Trevor still had a lot to handle and wouldn't be able to return home anytime soon.Patricia couldn't help feeling a little worried. "Trevor... He won't miss the end of the decision period, will he?"Even Lilian frowned, which was rare.She wasn't exactly panicking, but dragging things out like this wasn't good for them either.Erin also couldn't help asking Wynn, "Wynn, what did Trevor say?"Snapping back to her senses, Wynn answered honestly, "He said he's not sure."The people from both the Lockets and the Shaws grew even more unea

    That afternoon, when Celeste got home, Jordyn had just returned from school.The moment Celeste stepped through the door, she heard her daughter talking on the phone. Seeing her, Jordyn's face lit up. "Mom!" she called out happily.Then, whatever the person on the other end said made Jordyn's eyes brighten even more. She ran over with the phone in hand. "Mom, Dad wants to talk to you."Celeste was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the phone, pressed it to her ear, and said, "Hello.""Happy birthday."Celeste didn't answer immediately. There was a brief silence before she finally replied, "Thank you."By right, this was the moment she should've mentioned the gift he'd sent that morning, maybe said something polite in return. But holding the phone, she said nothing. Not a word.Trevor didn't bring it up either. It was as if that extravagantly expensive gift hadn't come from him at all."I've got a lot going on over here," he said calmly. "I probably won't be back for a while."
