Trevor didn’t say much and simply used his phone to call Celeste .
Celeste saw the call and directly cut it off .
Trevor paused for a moment before saying , “ Your mom didn’t answer my call either . ”
“ She must have been busy, so she didn’t see it . ” Otherwise , there was no way Celeste wouldn’t answer Trevor’s call .
“ Maybe . ” Trevor put on his suit jacket , picked up a black coat , and said , “ I’m heading out . If you want to go out , have the bodyguards take you . ”
“ But I want Mom to go with me … ” Even though she didn’t like it when Celeste disciplined her , she still wanted her company sometimes .
She pouted and asked , “ Dad , are you going to the hospital to see Wynn , or are you heading to the office ? ”
“ I’m stopping by the hospital first , then going to the office . Trevor lightly tapped her forehead . “I’m off . Have fun
She called Celeste two more times but still got no answer . With no other choice , she had the bodyguards and Hannah take her out .
But without the person she wanted to be with , even skiing felt boring . She quickly lost interest and went home .
After leaving the hospital , Trevor returned to Fleming Group .
Not long after he arrived , Miles showed up . Trevor glanced at him , and Miles grinned . “ I came to watch the show . ”
Before Trevor could say anything , Jacob walked over and said , “ Mr. Payne is here . ”
Trevor said , “ Bring him up . ”
Led by Jacob , Jason entered the reception room .
Trevor shook hands with him . “ Please , have a seat . ”
Jason didn’t waste any time . He sat down and took out the signed divorce agreement from the previous day , sliding it across the table to Trevor .
Trevor took it .
Since it was the weekend , Miles had specifically come to see if Celeste would really sign the papers . Seeing the document , he leaned in and , spotting Celeste’s signature , exclaimed in surprise , “ She actually signed it ? ”
Trevor glanced at her signature without any visible reaction and then continued discussing matters with Jason .
Once their conversation was wrapping up , he said , “ There are a lot of assets involved – properties , shares , and so on . I’need some time to handle the necessary transfers . Once everything is settled , I’ll contact you again . ”
Jason nodded . “ Understood . ”
Trevor turned to Jacob . “ Jacob , see Mr. Payne out . ”
After leaving Fleming Group , Jason contacted Celeste and updated her on the situation .
She frowned . “ How long will it take ? ”
“ That depends on Mr. Fleming’s progress . ”
“ Got it . ” Celeste said , “ Thank you , Mr. Payne , ”
The next day , she went to work at YodaVision as usual .
In the afternoon , she was discussing something with Matthias when his phone suddenly rang . Matthias glanced at the caller ID and frowned .
Celeste asked , “What’s wrong ?
He handed her the phone . “ It’s Jorge Robinson . ”
Everyone in the industry knew each other . Though they didn’t interact often , they at least had each other’s contact information .
Since their last encounter at InnovaTech , Matthias didn’t expect to have any further dealings with Jorge
So , why was he suddenly calling ? Puzzled , Matthias answered .
A moment later , he hung up and turned to Celeste . “ He wants to collaborate on a new project . ”
The two projects Celeste was leading had gained a lot of attention , and it was already confirmed that they would be involved in close cooperation with the government
With such a promising future , it was only a matter of time before potential partners lined up at YodaVision’s door .
The news hadn’t even gone public yet , and Jorge had already reached out .
Matthias smirked . “ Theodore really is a sly old fox . ”
