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 ? ”
