Chapter 78

Author: Cloudsearcher
Betty was turning 70 next month.

Celeste was discussing with Ivan how they should celebrate Betty's birthday.

Betty had no interest in their plan. "No need for anything extravagant. Having a meal together as a family is enough."

Adeline added, "It's my 70th birthday. We should celebrate it in a big way."

Celeste and Ivan thought the same too.

Since it came from the grandchildren's kindness, Betty gave in to their suggestion.

Jordyn still had to go to school tomorrow. Thus, after having dinner together, Celeste left the Rodriguez residence with Jordyn.

After she arrived at the Fleming Manor, Jordyn got out of the car and ran into the house, beaming with joy.

Celeste stayed in the car as she said to Jordyn, "Take a bath and rest early. I've got things to do, so I'll get going now."

Jordyn's smile froze. "Huh?"

She returned to the car and rested her face on it. Furrowing her brows, Jordyn asked, "Are you busy, Mom?"

Celeste answered without changing her expression. "Yep.

Omg, I literally just said this after I read the chapter before! She hasn’t even spoken a word to him at all besides when she says “okay” and he hangs up in her face.

Surely Peter and I know she’s a child, Jordyn, can be this clueless that Celeste doesn’t live there anymore.

    When Celeste went downstairs, she indeed saw Trevor in the room.Ivan and Betty were already up as well, chatting with him.Hearing footsteps, they all looked over.Ivan spoke first. "Cel, you're up. Breakfast is ready. Have some before heading out."Celeste nodded. "Okay."Trevor stood up. "I'll step outside to reply to a work message. We'll chat another time."Ivan hurriedly nodded. "Alright."Trevor also nodded politely to Betty, then turned and walked out of the family home.Seeing how Ivan was courteous and Betty's rather cold expression toward Trevor, even though it was softer than before, Celeste understood clearly that the reason they had invited him in to sit was only that Trevor had helped them a great deal when Betty had been ill.Trevor would marry Wynn in the future. No matter how much the relationship between the Rodriguez family and Trevor might ease, it would never truly become close.After eating a simple breakfast and greeting Ivan and the others, Celeste go

    Lilian didn't say anything. But she shared the same thoughts as Ruby.At this point, being negative or dejected was useless. The best course of action was to think of ways to remedy the situation.How could Wynn not know what Ruby had said?Precisely because she knew, she had taken the initiative earlier and messaged Trevor herself.But the result...Wynn lowered her gaze. She didn't tell the others that she had already contacted Trevor, only saying lightly, "I know. I'll contact him."Linda had actually never considered the possibility that Trevor might fall for Celeste, let alone abandon Wynn because of her.Even though she had been the one to tell the family about Trevor giving that expensive diamond to Celeste and had fleetingly thought of that possibility, she still felt it was extremely unreal.But what had just happened made that possibility start to feel a little real.In other words, Trevor really might have developed feelings for Celeste.At the thought of this, she

    Just then, Wynn's phone suddenly vibrated.It was Miles again.Seeing that Trevor still hadn't replied after so long, he tagged him in the group chat once more. "Where are you?"This time, Trevor finally replied. "What is it?"Seeing that Trevor had no intention of answering his first question, Miles assumed he simply didn't think it was worth responding to.Besides, Trevor himself wanted to get divorced as soon as possible. Yet these past few times, every time the mandatory waiting period ended, he kept getting held up by one thing or another and was unable to divorce Celeste smoothly. So, he was probably quite frustrated about it himself.Thinking that way, Miles didn't dwell on Trevor ignoring his first question.He asked instead, "Still not free these next few days? Want to go out and hang around together this weekend?"Seeing Miles's question, Wynn paused. Almost immediately after, Trevor replied in the group. "No. I have things to do this weekend."Miles immediately

    After setting a time, Celeste arrived at the courthouse early the next morning.Trevor was quite punctual too—he'd even arrived earlier than her.The procedure went very smoothly.After everything was done, Trevor looked at her and said, "In a couple of days, Jo wants to go out to sea for a trip. Are you free?"Celeste paused for a moment before replying, "Not sure. We'll talk about it later."Trevor didn't press the matter. "Alright."Celeste turned and left without looking back.…The news that they had gone to the courthouse again to handle the divorce procedures quickly reached Miles.That afternoon, he tagged Trevor in their group chat."I heard you finally managed to make time this morning to go to the courthouse to handle the paperwork? Honestly, after so many times, when are you two actually going to get divorced?"Trevor didn't reply in the group chat.But Wynn saw Miles's message immediately.It was only then that she learned Trevor and Celeste had gone to the co

    Trevor replied quickly. "Okay, got it."But even so, after another three to four days passed, Celeste still didn't receive any message from Trevor about setting a time to go to the courthouse to handle the divorce.Trevor had already been back in the country for over a week, yet he still hadn't proactively brought up the divorce with Celeste. Naturally, the Lockets and the Shaws knew about this as well.Not only that, but they also knew that during this week, Trevor had hardly met Wynn.If Trevor were extremely busy with work, they could have understood.But as far as they knew, Trevor wasn't particularly busy this week.Earlier, Wynn had told them that after Trevor learned that Celeste was quite capable professionally, his attitude toward her had gradually begun to change.By now, Trevor should have developed some feelings for Celeste to the point that he had started to feel reluctant to divorce her.Even so, the Lockets and the Shaws still believed that Trevor had very deep

    Actually, Celeste didn't ask for the money for herself.She asked for it for Jordyn.In the future, when Jordyn grew up a bit more, she would hand over everything Trevor had given her—both money and assets—to Jordyn.With these things, no matter what Jordyn encountered later in life, she would have more confidence and more choices.A few days later, possibly because Trevor had already returned to the country, Celeste suddenly received a call from Trevor's lawyer, saying that the 30-billion agreement had already been drafted. He wanted to send it to her for review in advance so they could quickly discuss any issues.Hearing this, Celeste thought the agreement would contain a lot of clauses.After all, Trevor was paying her 30 billion dollars.With such a huge amount, it would be understandable if he added more conditions.But the agreement his lawyer sent over was very short. Trevor had only one requirement: that she not sue for divorce within the next six months.This condit
