Miles asked, “Beck? Are you busy?”
“No.”
Miles continued, “Oh… Right, you’reing 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 cane 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 thew firm, Matthias <b>was </b>already there.
Seeing her, he <b>waved</b>.
Jason Payne was thewyer 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, <b>and </b>Matthias, being a long–time friend of his, leaned in for a look.
<b>The </b>first use, concerning Jordyn’s custody, caught his eye. Seeing that, he nced 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 <b>that </b>deeply hurt Celeste.
Seeing that Celeste only asked thewyer to focus on <b>financial </b>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 momentter<b>, </b>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..
Jason’s assistant waspletely lost. As for Jason himself, he was carefully reviewing the details of the divorce agreement.
An hourter, 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?<b>” </b>
“The cash portion is straightforward, and the real estate properties are all clearly stated to have no ownership disputes,” Jason exined.
“As for thepany shares Trevor is giving you, the agreement explicitly states that you’re only entitled to dividends each year. If anything happens to thepany legal liabilities,pensations, 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<b>, </b>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 <b>never </b>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
