Chapter 594
After learning that Celeste wanted to sue for divorce, Betty was in favor of it.
After finishing her conversation with her grandmother, Celeste turned and went upstairs. Just as she was about to call Jason to discuss the divorce lawsuit, she received a message from Trevor.
“I didn’t make it back in time. That’s my fault. Sorry.”
Celeste looked at it and didn’t reply.
Right after that, Trevor sent a second message.
“Can you not sue for divorce? If you can agree to this request, I can give you 30 billion dollars as compensation.”
Celeste still didn’t reply.
She actually knew why Trevor didn’t want her to sue for divorce.
If she filed a lawsuit and the news leaked, Wynn’s identity as a mistress would be exposed. If someone deliberately stirred things up, it wouldn’t just affect Trevor’s career; even his father’s political future would be impacted.
If it really came to that, for the sake of the Fleming family’s future, Martha and Queenie would probably both come to her over this matter… 1
And after all, the Fleming family had shown kindness to the Rodriguez family.
Celeste sat there, thinking about all this, unmoving for a long time.
Just then, Jordyn ran in, threw herself into her arms, and asked, “Mom, what are you doing?”
Celeste came back to her senses, shook her head, and said, “It’s getting late. Go take a shower. After that, go to bed early.”
“Okay!”
Jordyn happily ran off to get her pajamas and prepare for her shower.
Looking at Jordyn’s carefree, cheerful smile, Celeste fell into a brief daze again.
After Jordyn finished showering and after Celeste dried her hair, Jordyn curled up against her and fell fast asleep.
Staring at the sleeping child, Celeste pondered for a moment before finally replying to Trevor.
“Okay.”
Trevor was probably waiting for her response. Not long after she sent it, he replied.
“Thank you. I’ll make sure the 30 billion dollars I promised you is implemented as soon as possible. After the lawyers finish handling the agreement, once I’m back, I’ll have the money transferred to your account.”
“Got it.”
At this point, Celeste felt that the conversation should be over. But Trevor sent another message.

“I’ll still be busy for a few more days. So, I won’t be able to return to the country anytime soon.”
“Got it.”
Trevor then sent, “I just messaged Jo. She said she’s at the Rodriguez residence now. Thank you for taking care of her while I’m abroad.”
This time, Celeste didn’t reply. She turned off her phone and went to sleep.
Matthias was also very concerned about the progress of her divorce.
The next day, after learning that she and Trevor still hadn’t managed to finalize the divorce, he asked, “Then what are you going to do now? Why not just sue for divorce directly?”
Celeste said, “That was my plan too, but…”
She then told him about how Trevor had contacted her the previous night and proactively offered her 30 billion dollars in compensation.
Matthias spat out the water in his mouth. “30 billion?”
Celeste hummed.
For a moment, Matthias didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.
Then he said, “If Trevor can really keep his word, I think you can agree to it. After all, you’re not dating anyone right now. Delaying the divorce a bit won’t really harm you. But 30 billion dollars is no small sum.”
That was exactly what Celeste had thought the night before, which was why she agreed. 1
Matthias set down his cup, sighed, and said, “If that 30 billion dollars really gets transferred, then all the money Trevor has given you during this whole divorce process will add up to almost 500 billion dollars. Looking at it this way, this marriage of yours really wasn’t a loss.” 4
