Chapter 164
Celeste took the document. It was a divorce agreement.
The very first clause stated that Trevor would have full custody of Jordyn. The rest detailed the division of assets several pages listing everything he was giving her.
She had been planning to ask him about the progress of their divorce.
Now, seeing the agreement, she casually flipped through it without looking too closely, then placed it back on the table and said, “I have no objections.”
As she spoke, she opened her bag, took out a pen, and prepared to sign.
Back when Celeste married Trevor, her methods had been less than honorable.
Although neither Trevor nor Miles thought highly of her, they had also seen firsthand how deeply she loved Trevor over the years.
Given how much she loved him, Miles had assumed that she wouldn’t be able to accept the divorce–that she’d be heartbroken and refuse to go through with it no matter what.
But to his surprise, not only did she readily agree, but she didn’t even object to Trevor taking custody of their daughter.
This was completely beyond Miles‘ expectations. He turned to Trevor in disbelief.
Trevor was also watching Celeste, his gaze deep and unreadable, as if he didn’t expect her to agree so easily either.
Just as Celeste bent down to sign, she paused, hesitated for moment, and withdrew her pen.
Miles smirked when he saw that. He knew it–there was no way she’d actually-
“I’ll have my lawyer review this tomorrow,” Celeste said. there are no issues, I’ll sign it within two days and have my lawyer contact you.”
The agreement listed many assets he was giving her. While casually flipping through earlier, she even noticed he was transferring some of his company shares to her.
In the divorce agreement she had initially given him, she didn’t ask for anything.
But now that he was offering it, she wouldn’t refuse. They had been married for years he had never loved her, but he had also never set her up for failure.
So, when she saw how much he was giving her, she had been tempted to sign immediately. But now, she hesitated.
She was worried about potential loopholes in the clauses.
If his company ran into trouble in the future, she might end up being used as a scapegoat just because she held those shares.
Trevor might not have intended to harm her when drafting this agreement. But she couldn’t guarantee that once he married Wynn, she wouldn’t use those very loopholes to destroy her.
Trevor seemed surprised by her caution. He paused for a moment before saying, “Alright.”
Celeste nodded, put the agreement back into her bag, zipped it up, and without another word, stood up and left.
Miles watched her retreating figure, still in disbelief. He turned to Trevor. “Is she okay?”

Trevor watched Celeste disappear down the hall. Only then did he lower his gaze and reply coolly, “I don’t know.”
She didn’t even react when you took custody of Jo. That’s really strange
Trevor fell silent for a moment. “Mm.”
“Does she not want custody? That’s impossible! Jo is her whole world!”
Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, Miles looked at Trevor sharply. “Wait–did you two already agree on custody beforehand?”
Trevor’s expression darkened. He hesitated before replying, “No. We never discussed it.”
“What the hell? Then why?”
