Actually, Celeste didn’t ask for the money for herself.
She asked for it for Jordyn. 1
In the future, when Jordyn grew up a bit more, she would hand over everything Trevor had given her–both money and assets–to Jordyn.
With these things, no matter what Jordyn encountered later in life, she would have more confidence and more choices.
A few days later, possibly because Trevor had already returned to the country, Celeste suddenly received a call from Trevor’s lawyer, saying that the 30–billion agreement had already been drafted.
He wanted to send it to her for review in advance so they could quickly discuss any issues.
Hearing this, Celeste thought the agreement would contain a lot of clauses.
After all, Trevor was paying her 30 billion dollars.
With such a huge amount, it would be understandable if he added more conditions. (1)
But the agreement his lawyer sent over was very short. Trevor had only one requirement: that she not sue for divorce within the next six months. 7
This condition was proposed under the premise that Trevor might still be delayed in handling the divorce later on due to various reasons. 2
After reading through the agreement and confirming there were no issues, Celeste signed it quite decisively.
Not long after she signed, the money Trevor had promised began to be transferred into her account in batches. 3
The next afternoon, when Celeste went to Fleming Group, she saw Trevor downstairs talking with someone.
Seeing her and Lazarus’s group, Trevor politely nodded at her and the others in greeting, then continued discussing work.
Only then did Celeste realize he was back.
That evening, Jordyn called to chat with her. Celeste asked, “When did your dad come back?” 1
“Today,” Jordyn replied. 1
“After Dad got back at noon, he even called me.”
Then she asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
After hanging up with Jordyn, Celeste sent Trevor a message. “I’ll have some time these days.”
After an hour or two, Trevor replied. “Okay.”
After that, he didn’t send any more messages.

Chapter 595
The Lockets and the Shaws had also learned that Trevor was back.
They also knew that he and Celeste had been in contact.
They couldn’t help asking Wynn, “So? Did Trevor say when he plans to go to the courthouse to continue the divorce procedures with Celeste?” 13
Wynn shook her head. “He didn’t mention it.”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Ruby forced a smile and couldn’t help saying, “It’s fine even if Trevor didn’t mention it.
“The previous few times when he proactively contacted Celeste about the divorce, didn’t he also not tell you right away, Wynn? It was like he wanted to surprise you.” 9
Linda believed that Trevor still loved Wynn very much. Hearing this, she also chimed in, “Exactly.” 2
No one else said anything more.
After that, they paid close attention to Trevor’s movements. 2
But a few days passed, and they didn’t hear that Trevor was especially busy with work. Yet he still didn’t seem to be proactively contacting Celeste to proceed with the divorce. (2)
In fact, Celeste had also been waiting for Trevor’s message.
Over these past few days, she had run into him again.
She also felt that he didn’t look particularly busy.
But whether Trevor was actually busy or not, she didn’t know. After thinking it over, she once again sent him a
message.
“I still have some time.”
