"Dad!"After chatting with him for a bit, she turned and saw that Celeste had finished her call. "Mom, do you want to talk to Dad for a moment?""No need." Celeste stood up and picked up her glass."I'll go downstairs to get some water. You carry on.""Okay."…When Celeste went downstairs, the rest of the Rodriguez family were chatting cheerfully in the living room.Seeing her, Jamie quickly asked, "Celeste, we were discussing an outing tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"Celeste happened to be free, so she said, "Sure.""Then… What about Jo?"They knew Jordyn had already made plans to go out with Trevor. But since this outing had just been decided, it didn't feel right not to tell her."I'll tell her.""Alright."Celeste sat down in the living room and joined them in planning the route and choosing a place to eat for the next day.When she went back upstairs,
After looking through them, Matthias curled his lips. "Having a meal together doesn't prove anything. Maybe they just ran into each other by chance and ended up eating together."He didn't believe Queenie and Lincoln would relent so quickly.If Wynn had a completely clean background, that would be one thing. But given the questionable way her mother had secured her position in the Lockets, he didn't believe Queenie and Lincoln would overlook it so easily.Celeste said, "When I had lunch with Beck earlier today, he mentioned it too. He said they've already agreed to the relationship."Matthias was momentarily at a loss for words.To be honest, if he were in Queenie and Lincoln's position, he would probably soften his stance as well, even if he didn't like Wynn.He snorted, then added, "Since the Fleming family has relented, your divorce should go through without any issues. What about your daughter? Have they told her yet?""Probably not. But that's not something I need to worry
Kieran couldn't understand it either—why Celeste seemed to have a good relationship with Lincoln, yet appeared to have no personal connection at all with Trevor.But then again, he had heard that the Yoder family and the Fleming family also had some ties, yet Matthias and Trevor had no interaction beyond work.Thinking of this, Kieran decided not to dwell on it further.…The next day, Beck came to YodaVision to discuss a new round of collaboration. Like before, Celeste was the one who received him.He looked at her. "Long time no see."It hadn't actually been that long. They had met not long ago before Shanice left Baumond to return to school.But since he put it that way, Celeste didn't contradict him and simply nodded. "Long time no see."When Kieran heard that Beck had come to meet Celeste, he had wanted to drop by and sit in, but he was too busy that day to get away.When the discussion was mostly wrapped up, Beck suggested having a meal together, and Celeste agreed.At
The next morning, after handling some matters at YodaVision, Celeste went to Fleming Group with Kieran and the others.It had been a while since they last came over. As soon as they arrived, someone couldn't help but gossip a little with them."Did you hear about Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket some time ago?"Celeste lowered her gaze. "I did.""After that incident, I heard their relationship got even better. In fact, these past couple of mornings, Mr. Fleming has been bringing Ms. Locket to the office with him. She's actually upstairs in his office right now."Celeste just smiled and didn't respond.After some casual chatter, they got down to work.At noon, Celeste went out for lunch with Lazarus and the others. After getting out of the car, she spotted Lincoln stepping out of a car nearby.Before Celeste could react, Lazarus and the others noticed him too.Ordinary employees of Fleming Group might not recognize Lincoln, but Lazarus did. He quickly stepped forward politely. "Mr. F
After they finished work, it was already getting dark. So, Quincy suggested they go for a meal together.Trevor said, "Sorry, I have something to take care of. Let's do dinner another time."Quincy chuckled. "Don't tell me you're going to have dinner with Ms. Locket?"Trevor paused for a moment, but didn't deny it.Seeing that, Quincy immediately understood that he was admitting it by not answering. "I heard Ms. Locket recovered a few days ago. You're still treating her like a treasure? Do you really need to accompany her for meals every day…"Halfway through his sentence, Quincy's gaze flicked toward Celeste. So, he abruptly stopped. Then he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I mean... Because you two—"He knew about the situation between Celeste and Trevor. But these past days, the two of them acted as if they were nothing more than business partners whenever they met.Sometimes, he genuinely forgot that there had ever been anything between them.Celeste could tell Quincy meant no h
The next morning, Celeste and Trevor both went to the courthouse as agreed.The procedure went smoothly.Once everything was done, Celeste got into her car and headed back to the company.News of their filing for divorce that morning quickly reached Miles and Beck.Miles said to Beck, "They should've done this a long time ago. When they decided not to divorce before, I already thought it was unnecessary. They both have someone else now—divorce was inevitable. There's no point dragging it out."As for Jo, I think it's Celeste's issue. If she truly cares about Jo, shouldn't she let go of the past and get along peacefully with Wynn for the child's sake now that she has found her own happiness? Wouldn't that be best for Jo?"But Celeste and Matthias weren't actually a real couple.Of course, Beck didn't say that out loud.Seeing Miles criticizing Celeste, Beck said, "Jo is her daughter. Even if she has already let go of Trevor and found her own happiness, you're asking her to let J
Matthias crossed his legs. "Become what exactly? Blinded by lust? Or unable to tell right from wrong?"Both.Of course, Jorge didn't say that out loud.Matthias saw right through him and smiled. "But why do I feel like the one who's blinded and can't tell right from wrong isn't me, but someone el
Linda was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that even Trevor couldn't resolve the incident.She said frantically, "I still don't get it. T-This was obviously a trivial matter. Can Celeste and Matthias take us to court and terminate the collaboration just because they couldn't let go of a
Trevor then added, "Then, will you talk to Grandma?"Celeste didn't even need to ask to know—there was no way Martha would agree to her walking away with nothing.She asked instead, "If we don't change the divorce agreement, when can we get the paperwork done?""It should be within this year."I
Betty had relatives visiting from Xelora, and they had come to Baumond to see her.That morning, just as Celeste finished a meeting, Betty called and asked her to come over for lunch with them.She stood by the elevator, waiting, when Joseph Lockridge—the newly hired general manager of YodaVision—
