Chapter :558
Celeste thought so too.
When there were fewer disputes between both parties, filing for
divorce could go quite smoothly.
However, she would soon have to make a trip to the military
base, and her departure and return dates were uncertain.
If she filed for divorce as the plaintiff and missed the court date,
her case would be dismissed. In that case, it might be better to
proceed with a divorce by mutual consent instead.
At least with divorce by mutual consent, once the mandatory
waiting period ended, she and Trevor could go collect the
divorce certificate at their own convenience. Things might even
go more smoothly that way.
Since she was sure that if Trevor had time, he would be the first
to contact her to finalize the divorce at the courthouse, she
hadn’t bothered to reach out to him yesterday.
After all, if he was busy, there was no point in her pushing him
every day.
But now—
Celeste looked up at Trevor’s figure, a faint frown forming
between her brows.
If a party filed for divorce, the defendant didn’t have to appear in
court. It wasn’t impossible to have Trevor file as the plaintiff
instead, but—
Matthias knew she was considering filing for divorce and also
knew what she was worried about. So, he asked, “Still haven’t
Celeste shook her head.
Matthias understood her dilemma.
Trevor was too biased toward Wynn and her family. They
couldn’t be sure that if Trevor filed the case, he wouldn’t
suddenly change the terms of their prior agreement on the day
of the hearing if Celeste couldn’t attend
If he did that while she wasn’t there, she would definitely be at a
disadvantage.
Celeste didn’t actually want anything from Trevor.
In their divorce agreement, she had already given up custody of
Jordyn, and as for his assets, she didn’t necessarily need them:
But the thought of forfeiting everything and letting Wynn and the
Shaws benefit from it didn’t sit well with her either.
Trevor’s offer was indeed quite generous. Even Matthias thought
it’d be a waste to let Wynn’s side take advantage of it.
With a sigh, he patted Celeste’s shoulder.
Celeste looked at Trevor without saying anything.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, he turned and looked at her. When he
saw her still staring, the corners of his lips curved slightly, as if
asking whether she had something to say to him
Celeste calmly withdrew her gaze and looked away.
Trevor didn’t speak either, simply retracting his gaze as well.
The meeting continued.
Trevor stayed until the very end before finally leaving.
Before he left, he politely said to Celeste and Matthias, “The
project is progressing very well. I’m confident about our future
cooperation. Thank you both for your hard work.”
Though annoyed with him, Matthias still had to respond politely. “
Mr. Fleming, you’re too kind.”
Trevor didn’t reply. He gave Celeste one last look before turning
As they watched him walk away, Matthias frowned and said, “Is
there some issue with this project inside Fleming Group?”
Although he had earlier complained that Trevor seemed free, he
knew full well that if Trevor really were free, he would’ve already
arranged to finalize the divorce with Celeste.
So, even if this meeting seemed unnecessary for him to attend,
there must have been some reason behind it—perhaps
something they didn’t yet know.
Celeste had thought of that too.
She shook her head. “No idea. I haven’t heard anything unusual
from the others I’ve spoken with.”
Matthias frowned and said quietly, “Keep an eye out, just in
case. If something happens, we’ll need to respond quickly.”
Celeste nodded, refocusing her thoughts on work. “Gotit.”
