Chapter 399
At noon, Celeste and Trevor’s group arrived at the restaurant for lunch after their meeting.
Just as they walked up to their private dining room, the door of the room next to them suddenly opened.
As if afraid people wouldn’t hear, Linda called out–loudly, “Trev!”
Seeing Wynn was there as well, Bryson smiled and said, “So, Ms. Locket is dining here too- what a coincidence.”
Wynn smiled. “Quite the coincidence indeed.”
&
Though she said that, the truth was that this encounter wasn’t coincidental at all.
The news that Trevor and Celeste had officially gone to the courthouse that morning to file for divorce had already reached their entire family.
When Linda learned that Trevor would be dining in the area at noon–and that Celeste would be there too–she deliberately had their own private room arranged directly opposite theirs.
That was how this “coincidental” meeting happened.
The thought that Trevor had immediately called Celeste to file the divorce paperwork right after settling the agreement delighted Linda.
What made her even happier, even more excited, was the fact that in just 30 days, Trevor could finalize his divorce from Celeste.
After that, Wynn and Trevor would surely get married right away!
Then there’d be no place left for Celeste.
With that thought, Linda glanced at Celeste, full of smug satisfaction.
Although Wynn had never openly pushed for Trevor to divorce Celeste, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t anxious about it.
Even if she had absolute confidence in her relationship with Trevor, as long as he remained legally married to Celeste, no matter how deep their bond, her position lacked legitimacy. 2
So, when she heard on Saturday that Trevor had already finalized the terms of the divorce agreement and had arranged to go to the courthouse on Monday, how could she not feel pleased?
And it wasn’t just the two of them; the entire Shaw and Locket families were thrilled as well.

Erin gave Celeste a single glance before withdrawing her gaze as if she were invisible, while Patricia couldn’t stop smiling.
Wynn said to Trevor, “You go ahead. We won’t keep you.”
“I’ll come to see you in a bit,” he replied.
Wynn smiled. “Alright.”
The way they spoke made them look like a couple deeply in love. 1
Bryson and the others chuckled teasingly.
As for Celeste and Matthias, the moment they saw the Shaw and Locket families, they didn’t linger–they went straight into their private room.
Matthias sneered, “They’re just here to show off.”
“I know,” Celeste said. It was obvious.
“What a bunch of trash. They’re really ridiculous.”
After the greetings, Trevor and his party entered their private room, and the Shaw and Locket families returned to theirs.
Patricia truly was pleased. But not entirely.
Leaning over to whisper in Lilian’s ear, she said, “Now that she’s left Trevor, ending up with Matthias is a bit too lucky for that little tramp.”
After all, it was Matthias. Not to mention, Matthias had Zachary behind him.
Every time she thought about that, it was like a bone stuck in her throat–impossible to ignore.
She wasn’t alone in that. Ever since hearing that Celeste had genuinely learned some skills under Matthias, both Lilian and Wynn had been uneasy.
Patricia gritted her teeth and continued, “Once she’s divorced, she’ll be a divorcée. What gives her the right?”
The thought of Celeste being a divorcée made Lilian feel slightly better.
“As long as they’re not married, nothing’s final. No need to rush.”
Patricia knew that too. But she still wasn’t happy. As long as there was a chance Celeste might marry Matthias, she couldn’t be at ease. 1

In the next room, Celeste had no idea what the Shaw family was plotting.
Once everyone in Trevor’s party was seated, conversation flowed, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
A short while later, Trevor stood up. “Please continue. I’m stepping out for a bit. I won’t be long.”
He had told Wynn earlier he’d stop by her room again. So, his sudden departure now could only mean one thing–he was going next door to see Wynn.
Bryson and the others laughed, “Go ahead, Mr. Fleming. No need to hurry–we’re in no rush.”
Rodney echoed with a laugh, “Exactly, take
your time.‘
Trevor smiled and left.
Celeste and Matthias quietly watched the scene unfold, not even bothering to give him another look.
Celeste didn’t pay much attention to how long he was gone, but Matthias had had enough. ” He’s been gone for nearly ten minutes. The nerve of him.”
Celeste was just about to respond when Trevor pushed the door open and returned.
So, she said nothing.
Matthias rolled his eyes.
Trevor sat back down and rejoined the conversation as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, Celeste’s phone suddenly rang.
She paused when she saw the caller ID.
Matthias noticed the strange look on her face, leaned over to take a glance, and asked in surprise, “Caleb? Why’s he calling you?”
He hadn’t spoken loudly, but Bryson and those seated nearby, including Trevor, all heard it.
Thinking of Caleb’s previous confession, Celeste was at a loss for how to respond.
