Back in her room, Celeste pulled open the drawer only to discover that the marriage certificate was gone.
A few days ago, she had clearly seen Jordyn put it back after looking at it.
Could it be that Jordyn had come over again these past two days and taken the certificate?
Celeste pressed her lips together and picked up her phone. Just as she was about to contact Jordyn, a message from Trevor came in.
“There’s been a serious issue with a major project in Andostan. I’m on the way to the airport now. I won’t be able to make it to the courthouse today. Sorry.” 11
Celeste tightened her lips, her expression darkening.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back and sent him another message. “I understand that you’re busy with work, but how many times has this been already?” 1
Whether Trevor was occupied or already on the plane, there was no reply even after a long while.
When Celeste arrived at the company, Matthias didn’t look as surprised as before when he saw her.
Lowering his voice, he asked, “Because of that innovative drug project in Andostan, he flew there today, right? So, you still didn’t manage to get divorced today?”
Celeste was taken aback. “How do you know?”
“I just saw the news. The Internet’s in an uproar right now.”
In his message, Trevor had only mentioned that a major project had run into trouble. He hadn’t specified which one, and Celeste truly didn’t know what exactly had happened.
After hearing Matthias say this, she went online to check and realized the situation really was quite serious. No wonder Trevor had rushed to Andostan.
Matthias said, “Once he’s there, he probably won’t be back for at least ten days. Don’t tell me you still won’t manage to get divorced this month?”
To be honest, even he hadn’t expected Celeste and Trevor’s divorce to run into so many twists and turns. (2 He had thought that since both of them were so determined to divorce, and everything had gone smoothly during the initial discussions, the actual process would be straightforward.
Who would’ve thought that at this stage, one thing after another would keep getting in the way, making it impossible for them to finalize it?
Celeste didn’t say anything.
She could understand that Trevor had an urgent matter to deal with.
But still-
Her mood wasn’t good.

She had things to take care of, so she didn’t say much and left the company.
Watching her walk away, Matthias suddenly recalled some rumors circulating online.
They said that the current crisis in the Andostan innovative drug project was actually a setup orchestrated by capital players like Trevor. 8
On the surface, Trevor’s side appeared to be on the defensive, but in reality, everything was under their control. Their real aim was to force certain people out of the game.
However, Matthias didn’t have much in the way of connections in Andostan, so he had no way of knowing whether those rumors were true or false.
With the news about the Andostan innovative drug project blowing up to this extent, the Lockets and the Shaws had naturally heard about it as well.
Wynn also already knew that Trevor had boarded a plane early that morning and flown to Andostan.
After receiving the news, she fell silent.
Ruby couldn’t help saying, “Today was supposed to be the day they finalized their divorce. How could it happen to be such a coincidence-”
Wasn’t it exactly that? How could it be such a coincidence?
Linda, however, said, “This is a major project. Trev probably only just got the news. It’s not like he deliberately made up an excuse to go abroad just to avoid divorcing Celeste. Mom, I think you’re overthinking it.” 1
No one else responded.
Naturally, they all hoped that was the case.
But after the mandatory waiting period ended this time, whether Trevor and Celeste had really agreed like before to finalize the divorce today, none of them actually knew. 2
