Chapter 711
Quentin picked up his phone, intending to call Wynn. But after a moment’s hesitation, he didn’t dial her number.
His gaze returned to the computer screen after setting the phone down. His expression turned cold once more as he read through the flood of praise for Celeste online.
Celeste had no time to concern herself with what others were thinking. She had accepted an interview with a major media outlet that very afternoon.
After the interview, she saw a message from Jordyn when she checked her phone.
“Grandpa and Grandma are back. Dad said I should go to the manor for dinner tonight. I’m already on the way.”
Celeste replied casually, “Okay.”
Celeste’s interview was released that night, and it had even made it onto national news.
When the broadcast aired, the Fleming family had just finished dinner and were sitting in the living room, chatting while having fruit.
By now, the Fleming family, including Martha, who usually paid little attention to such affairs, had heard something about Celeste’s work at YodaVision.
So, they were all well aware of the buzz around her newly published paper.
The only one who didn’t really understand any of this was Jordyn.
She knew that her mother had gone for an interview that morning, but she had no idea why. She only half- understood the news.
However, she could clearly tell that the host kept praising Celeste. Her eyes lit up at that.
“Wow! Mom is amazing! Is she really that incredible?” 1
There were still some skeptical voices about Celeste online, and Teagan and Queenie were aware of them. So, neither of them responded when they heard Jordyn’s words. 2
Tucker, however, had already sent Celeste a congratulatory message earlier that morning. Now, he pulled Jordyn into his arms and gave her cheek a playful pinch.
“Of course! Your mom is super amazing!”
Jordyn beamed and grabbed her phone before saying, “I’m going to call Mom!”
As the TV was a little loud, she walked off to the side to make the call.
Watching her leave, Teagan said, “I heard Celeste already published three papers. She should have a shot at most of the major AI awards this year with all these high-impact papers, right?” 2
That question was directed at Trevor.
He gave a brief nod. “If nothing unexpected happens, her chances are very high.” 2
Teagan and Queenie still weren’t entirely sure whether Celeste truly possessed that level of ability. But if she did, her future would be limitless.

Teagan then said coldly, “Seems that we really underestimated her.” 3
Trevor and Queenie said nothing.

Martha, however, disagreed. She was genuinely delighted to see Celeste doing so well in her career.
She said firmly, “Cel has always been outstanding. She was excellent in her studies before too. If she hadn’t given up her major back then, she would’ve won awards long ago!” 1
Teagan rolled her eyes. “Grandma, you’re overthinking it.”
In her view, Celeste had only reached this point because of Matthias. Without him, there was no way Celeste
could’ve come this far. 6

Teagan suddenly turned to Trevor as if remembering something. “By the way, the mandatory waiting period should be ending soon, right?”
“Mm, almost.”
Martha’s smile instantly disappeared at the mention of that. She gave a cold snort and ignored Trevor entirely.
Jordyn wanted to go back and stay at the Rodriguez residence again. This time, Trevor personally drove her there.
After dropping her off, he and Celeste only exchanged a brief glance and a polite nod, nothing more. 1
Trevor left once Jordyn happily ran inside.
Celeste went upstairs with Jordyn. Her phone buzzed just as they reached the upper floor.
It was a message from Trevor. “Regarding the agreement, do you have anything else to revise?” 1
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten that their mandatory waiting period was about to end.
After reading the message, she replied without hesitation. “No.” 1
His reply came quickly. “Okay.” 1
On Monday, Celeste returned to YodaVision and threw herself back into work.
She was supposed to go on a business trip over the next couple of days, and it might keep her away for up to a week.
But her mandatory waiting period with Trevor would officially end in three days. She wanted to get the divorce certificate as soon as possible.
So, she asked Matthias to go in her place, which he agreed to without a second thought. “Sure, leave it to me.”
Kieran had been keeping track of the time as well. So when he heard that Celeste had specifically arranged for Matthias to take over the business trip, he let out a quiet breath of relief.
However, he still couldn’t help but ask, “So, in a few days, you’ll be officially divorced?”
“Mm.”
Her answer made him pause for a moment before a slow smile spread across his face. “Good.”
Once she got divorced, he would begin pursuing her properly. /1
Of course, Matthias and Kieran weren’t the only ones waiting. 1
The Lockets and Shaws also grew increasingly tense as the end of the mandatory waiting period approached once again.
They were afraid that something unexpected might happen again, just like before, and the divorce wouldn’t go through.
But when Wynn returned home that day, she seemed calm.
Linda hurried over. “Wynn, Trev doesn’t need to go on a business trip these days, right?” 1

Wynn smiled faintly. “He was supposed to, but he’s already arranged for someone else to go. He’s cleared his schedule for the next few days.”
Hearing that Trevor had deliberately freed up his time to ensure he wouldn’t miss the divorce again, both families finally felt a weight lifted off their shoulders.
But then Patricia added coldly, “Let’s just hope Celeste doesn’t stir up any trouble.”
In her view, even though Matthias was a good man, Celeste wouldn’t let go of Trevor easily just to spite them. 2
Wynn’s smile dimmed slightly at the mention of Celeste. “I heard she’s also canceled her business trip.”
“Really?”
Linda lit up before snorting and said, “At least she knows what’s good for her.”
Lilian and Lennox, however, weren’t surprised.
Lilian said calmly, “If she keeps dragging things out with Trevor and refuses to divorce him, it could also affect things on Matthias’s side. Letting go of Trevor and holding on to Matthias is the best choice for her.”
Lennox nodded. “Exactly.” 8
