Chapter 444
Not only did Patricia and Wynn think of this, but so did the others.
Linda immediately scoffed, “I said it before–she’s not that capable. You just wouldn’t believe me.”
Ruby laughed and added, “It’s just that we never expected she’d be so bold, daring to fake it in front of so many people. Right, Wynn?”
Wynn didn’t reply, but a faint smile slowly curved on her lips. 1
At that moment, Linda cheerfully added, “So, that means after that bitch gets divorced, it probably won’t be easy for her to marry into the Yoder family.”
If Celeste’s actual abilities were inflated and her chance of marrying into a wealthy family was slim, then whether it was her or the Rodriguez family, their chances of truly rising up would be even slimmer.
With that thought, Patricia, Linda, and the others all felt much better. (3)
Once they got into the car, Patricia smiled and said, “Next Wednesday is the last day of the cooling–off period. Once Trevor returns from overseas, they can basically go and finalize the divorce.” 7
Linda perked up with excitement, “Exactly!” 2
Even though she wasn’t directly involved, she still felt thrilled.
After all, even if she’d been addressing Trevor as her “brother–in–law” every day and believed that Wynn and he were deeply committed, the thought that Trevor and Celeste were still legally married had always bothered her deep down.
Patricia and Lilian felt the same.
Even though they knew Trevor and Wynn had a stable relationship the fact that he was still legally married to Celeste made them uncomfortable.

If they, as outsiders, were bothered by the relationship between Trevor and Celeste, then Wynn herself certainly felt it even more intensely. 1
Before, because the relationship between Trevor and Celeste had been terrible, Wynn thought herself clearly superior in every aspect.
She was convinced there was no way Trevor would ever develop feelings for Celeste.
So at the time, the legal bond between them didn’t bother her much.
But ever since Celeste had shown real ability in her career and especially after seeing how Trevor’s attitude toward her had noticeably changed, this legal marriage began to gnaw at her. 1
Just as she was thinking about that, Linda asked, “By the way, Wynn, when is Trev supposed to come back from his business trip?”
That question immediately reminded her of how Trevor had deliberately gone to see Celeste yesterday, and how he hadn’t contacted her at all since leaving on this trip.
Just then, a wave of frustration surged within her.
Every year around this time, business overseas was always especially busy. It wasn’t unusual for Trevor to be working day and night, too busy even for a phone call…
Maybe she was just overthinking it.
Thinking that, Wynn replied lightly, “Not sure yet.”
“Not sure?” Linda frowned. “You don’t think he’ll still be overseas when the cooling–off period ends, do you?”

Patricia didn’t seem concerned. She said, “When work gets busy, scheduling can be unpredictable. Whether he makes it back by Thursday or a few days later–what does it matter?”
As long as the divorce happens, she didn’t mind waiting a few extra days.
Linda nodded. “Alright then.”
Wynn didn’t say anything after hearing that.
After returning home, she called Trevor. But once again, no one answered.
