Chapter 410
Sering Kieran standing beside Celeste, Beck didn’t acknowledge him and instead spoke directly to Celeste, “been a while.”
Celeste nodded politely, exchanging small talk. “Been busy lately?”
Beck replied, “Yeah, a bit. I’ve been on business trips out of town recently–just got back this morning.
“It’s
Even though he had been traveling, he had still learned almost immediately that Trevor and Celeste were finally heading to the court to formalize their divorce.
It had already been over half a year since they signed the divorce agreement last year. Now, at last, they were about to be officially divorced. 2
Just a little more than twenty days left before the divorce was finalized, then he could finally-
Noticing that Tanner was still talking to Celeste, Beck tucked away the emotion in his eyes. After briefly greeting her and Matthias, he didn’t linger or interrupt further.
Miles was chatting with Wynn and Linda. When he saw Miles wave him over, Beck hesitated for a second before walking over.
Wynn greeted him calmly, “When did you get back?”
“This morning.”
Hearing this, Miles asked, “What about Trevor? He’s been out for a few days now–when’s he coming back?”
Just as Miles finished his sentence, Wynn’s phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and smiled, clearly in a good mood. Raising her phone, she said with a grin, “He just got off the plane.”
With that, she looked down and replied to Trevor’s message
Seeing how close she and Trevor seemed, Beck took a sip of wine and then turned to glance at Celeste–his lips curving into a faint smile.
At that moment, Celeste looked up from her conversation and met his gaze.
Seeing him smiling and seemingly in good spirits, she didn’t think too much about it, gave him a polite nod, and then looked away.
Half an hour later, the banquet was coming to an end.
Celeste and Matthias were preparing to bid farewell to the host, Ronan Sinclair. As they made their wa goodbye, they happened to run into Beck and Miles” group.

They were all important guests to Ronan, so when he saw they were leaving, he insisted on personally escorting them downstairs.
As the group headed down, even though Celeste and Wynn had both spoken during the banquet, they never exchanged a single word with each other.
Linda, who was still irritated at the sight of Celeste, kept glaring at her back the whole way.
Ronan hadn’t initially noticed the tension between them, but on the way down, he started to pick up on the odd

atmosphere.
Still, he chose not to pry.
Once they reached the ground floor, just as Celeste and Mathias were about to take their leave, they saw Trevor getting out of a car.
Ronan chuckled, “Mr. Fleming, didn’t you say you were busy? What brings you here?”
Linda quickly cut in, casting a glance at Celeste and raising her voice, “Trev just got back from a trip. He’s here to pick Wynn up!”
Ronan laughed, “Ah, so it’s a show of affection, then.”
Trevor gave Celeste and Matthias a nod in greeting.
They just responded with a nod.
Thet Matthias said to Ronan, “Mr. Sinclair, we’ll be heading off now.”
Ronan replied, “Alright. Let’s get together again sometime
Celeste and Matthias nodded and said nothing more as they turned and left.
Once in the car, Matthias was tempted to complain, but remembering that Celeste was about to divorce Trevor, he figured there was no point wasting time and kept quiet.
Just then, Celeste’s phone rang.
It was a call from Caleb.
Celeste looked at the screen and, after a moment’s thought, chose not to answer.
Matthias noticed and couldn’t help commenting, “Caleb’s honestly a great guy. You’re getting divorced anyway- are you really not going to give him a chance?”
Celeste put the phone down and shook her head. “I don’t feel that way about him right now. Agreeing to date him just because he likes me–that would be irresponsible.”
“But at least try, right? Just because you don’t like him now doesn’t mean you won’t like him later.”
Celeste shook her head again. “If I fall for him in the future, then I’ll deal with it in the future.”
Matthias sighed. “Alright”
The next day, not long after Celeste arrived at the office, her phone buzzed with a string of messages.
She paused when she saw them. They were all bank transfer notifications.
And the person transferring the large amount of funds was Trevor.
Seeing the endless string of deposits, Celeste quickly realized something–Trevor was formally carrying out the divorce agreement and transferring to her the cash assets he had promised.
They hadn’t even officially filed for divorce yet, and he was already handing over the agreed–upon property?
She was proven right not long after.

About ten minutes after the transfers came through, Jason called her. “Ms. Rodriguez, Mr. Fleming plans to transfer all of your entitled assets today.
The cash portion–his lawyer said he’s already transferred it to you. As for the real estate, all relevant documents and procedures have been processed.
“I’ll head over shortly to pick them up, and once I have everything, I’ll deliver it to you personally.”
Celeste agreed. “Alright, just come find me at YodaVision later.” 3
