Miles asked , “ Beck ? Are you busy ? ”
“ No. ”
Miles continued , “ Oh … Right , you’re coming back on Tuesday ? ”
Beck hummed a response . Before Miles could say anything else , Beck took the initiative . “ Let’s leave it at that . ” “ Alright , let me know when you’re back . I’ll pick you up so you can come see Wynn . ”
Beck agreed , “ Okay . ”
The next day , after getting up , Celeste went for a run for over half an hour and then came back for breakfast before heading out .
By the time she arrived at the law firm , Matthias was already there .
Seeing her , he waved .
Jason Payne was the lawyer Matthias found for Celeste . As she took a seat, Jason’s assistant poured her tea .
Then , she handed the divorce agreement to Jason .
He took it , and Matthias , being a long – time friend of his , leaned in for a look .
The first clause , concerning Jordyn’s custody , caught his eye . Seeing that , he glanced up at Celeste .
He had seen Jordyn a few times years ago . Back then , Celeste had treated her like the most precious thing in the world – whenever they talked , it was always about her daughter .
But ever since she had decided to divorce Trevor and return to YodaVision , she had never brought up Jordyn in front of him again .
Noticing this , he had already guessed that in the past year or so , while Jordyn had been living abroad with Trevor , she must have grown attached to Wynn – or perhaps even done something that deeply hurt Celeste .
Seeing that Celeste only asked the lawyer to focus on financial loopholes and didn’t even mention custody , Matthias knew she had made up her mind to give up her daughter .
He didn’t ask further . In his eyes , Celeste was a gentle yet deeply emotional person .
For her to willingly let go of her own daughter meant that she must have reached an extreme level of disappointment .
With that thought , he no longer dwelled on it and instead continued scanning through the agreement .
A moment later , he raised an eyebrow . “ So many real estate properties … Tsk , I have to admit , Trevor is being pretty generous , ”
Celeste sipped her tea without responding .
Matthias casually flipped through a few more pages but didn’t interrupt Jason . Instead , he moved over to Celeste’s side and started chatting with her about her research paper .
They spoke in a way that only the two of them could understand , discussing a small section of it ..
Chapter 168
Jason’s assistant was completely lost . As for Jason himself , he was carefully reviewing the details of the divorce agreement .
An hour later , Jason looked up and said , “ I’ve gone over everything thoroughly . There are no issues with the agreement . In fact , it’s extremely favorable to you . ”
Celeste paused . “ What do you mean ? ”
“ The cash portion is straightforward , and the real estate properties are all clearly stated to have no ownership disputes , ” Jason explained .
“ As for the company shares Trevor is giving you , the agreement explicitly states that you’re only entitled to dividends each year . If anything happens to the company legal liabilities , compensations , or any other obligations Trevor himself will be solely responsible . You won’t be affected . ”
Celeste froze for a moment .
Matthias , on the other hand , widened his eyes . “ Are you sure you didn’t misread that ? Trevor being this considerate ? ”
Jason chuckled . “ Are you doubting my professional skills , Matthias ? ”
Matthias hesitated . “ Not really . ” It was just … way too shocking
Celeste was a little surprised but not overly so .
Throughout their marriage , Trevor had always been cold to her and had never truly helped her .
But based on what she knew about him , if he had decided to give her something , he would likely ensure she had nothing to worry about .
That was why she had asked for the agreement to be reviewed – not because she suspected he would try to deceive her , but because she was concerned about any potential loopholes
