Chapter 411
That afternoon, Celeste and Kieran were in the office discussing work when a knock came at the door.
“Ms. Rodriguez, Mr. Payne is here.”

“Alright, thank you.” Celeste turned to Kieran and said, “I have some personal matters to deal with. You go ahead and get back to work.”
Kieran glanced at Jason and his assistant and then nodded and left.
Each holding a briefcase, Jason and his assistant stepped inside.
Once Candice closed the door behind them, they began laying out the various agreements and documents to double -check everything.
After the inventory and handover were complete, Jason added, “By the way, Mr. Fleming’s lawyer asked me to pass along a message.
“He said that if you find it too troublesome and don’t want to be involved in any company management or decision -making, and if you’re considering selling those shares–Mr. Fleming would be a willing and excellent buyer.” 1
Celeste replied coolly, “Got it.”
With that, Jason didn’t linger any longer. He left shortly after with his assistant.
Celeste glanced at the piles of documents in the briefcases, then pushed them aside and went back to work without hesitation.
About half an hour later, Matthias came by.
As he stepped into her office and was about to speak, his eyes landed on the two briefcases by her feet. Curiously, he asked, “Hm? What’s all this?”
“Property documents from the divorce agreement between me and Trevor.”
“It’s all here? All those properties are worth over ten billion dollars. Didn’t your agreement say he had two years after the divorce to sort it all out?
“You’re not even officially divorced, but he’s already handled everything?”
Celeste nodded. “Yep. Everything’s here, not a single item missing.”
Matthias let out a dry chuckle. “Guess he’s in a hurry.”
No wonder Trevor had contacted Celeste the other day about finalizing the divorce procedures–he had everything ready to go.
Then he asked, “And the cash? He transferred it to you too?
“Yeah. This morning.”
“Tsk.” Even though he knew Celeste had already moved on Trevor being so decisive still made Matthias feel a little bad for her.
Something occurred to him, and he couldn’t help but huff, You two haven’t even filed the final divorce paperwork yet, and he’s already rushed to transfer everything over.

“Is he afraid you’ll change your mind and back out of the divorce?”
Celeste said simply, “I don’t know.”

Ever since she asked for a divorce last year, all she’d been waiting for was the outcome. She no longer bothered to think about everything else.
Matthias paused, then suddenly said, “For him to do all this so soon… I don’t know, it kind of feels like maybe he still trusts you, at least a little?”
Trust?
The very reason their relationship had begun was due to a mistake that night. 25
To this day, he still believed that what happened then was something she orchestrated on purpose. If she were that kind of person in his mind, how could there possibly be any trust?
Matthias quickly remembered that too and added, “Alright, forget I said anything.”
Celeste changed the subject. “So, what brings you here?”
“Our company anniversary’s coming up soon. I wanted to talk to you about the banquet arrangements.”
Their company’s 10th anniversary was right around the corner. YodaVision wasn’t what it used to be–in fact, this being their first decade, they had to go all out.
With that, the conversation shifted to work matters.
Recently, the collaboration between YodaVision and Fleming Group had gained a lot of attention in the industry.
As they wrapped up, Matthias remarked, “For the anniversary celebration, we’ll definitely have to invite the Fleming Group.” 6
Celeste replied calmly, “That’s fine.”
