Chapter 256
Matthias rubbed his sore temples , his eyes barely open . “ I knew you didn’t sleep either ! ”
“ I’m heading downstairs for breakfast now . Let’s talk in a bit ? ”
Despite his exhaustion , Matthias , slumped in his chair like corpse , spoke with excitement . “ Talk ? Of course , we have to talk ! ”
Inspiration was fleeting – it had to be seized while it lasted
“ Alright . ”
Just as Celeste finished breakfast and was about to video call Matthias , Jason’s call came in .
“ I just got a call from Trevor’s lawyer . The property deeds for the three villas he transferred to you have been processed . I’ll pick them up later today .
“ When would you be available to collect them ? If you’re busy , we can arrange a time so I can bring them to you . ”
Celeste had almost forgotten about this . Her mind was elsewhere now .
Hearing Jason’s words , she replied , “ Thanks , Mr. Payne . Sorry for the trouble . ”
After hanging up , she and Matthias got to work immediately . They worked tirelessly until noon , their brains nearly fried from overuse , before finally taking a break .
The last time Celeste had visited Martha was the previous Sunday . She and Betty had planned to visit her again in the afternoon .
However , after an all – nighter and still having not slept , Celeste suggested over lunch that they postpone the visit until the evening .
Seeing how exhausted she looked , Betty agreed . “ Alright , we’ll go after dinner . ”
Celeste took a nap and didn’t wake up until nearly 6:00 pm .
After dinner , she and Betty headed to the hospital .
When they arrived , Trevor wasn’t there .
They stayed with Martha for almost two hours . Just as they were about to leave , Trevor returned .
He didn’t seem surprised to see them . It was as if he had expected them to come .
Seeing them preparing to leave , he said politely , “ Thank you for visiting Grandma . ”
Neither Celeste nor Betty responded .
Trevor pressed the elevator button for them and then asked Celeste , “ Have you received the property deeds ? ”
“ Not yet . ”
As they stepped into the elevator , Celeste turned to him and said , “ No need to see us off . Go back . ”
Trevor paused but didn’t insist . He also didn’t ask further about the deeds , as if he had only brought them up a excuse to start a conversation .
After the elevator doors closed , Betty finally asked , “ What property deeds ? ”
“ He transferred some properties to me for the divorce . ”

Betty nodded . “ Since he gave them to you , just keep them .
“ I know . ”

By the time they arrived home , Jason was already there . He didn’t stay long and left soon after .
Celeste took the property deeds to her room , casually stuffed them into a cabinet , and went to take a shower . After an exhausting day and a severe lack of sleep , she quickly fell asleep after bathing
The next day , Celeste went for a run , had breakfast , and then left for work .
When she arrived at the YodaVision office building , she noticed a car with its window rolled down as she was about to turn into the underground parking lot .
It was Beck inside the car .
She frowned . Why was he here so early in the morning ?
If she remembered correctly , there were no scheduled meetings between YodaVision and Beck today .
