Jorge didn’t notice the change in Celeste’s expression.
Hearing his mother mention Caleb, he also felt that if Caleb had been there, he would at least have had someone to talk to that evening.
That night, Celeste and the others prepared to leave when it was close to ten o’clock.
When they walked them out, Theodore couldn’t help but say, “Cel, if you have time, come over with Matt more often. Helena and I are always happy to have you.”
Celeste replied, “Alright, I will.”
Jorge stood to the side, watching coldly without saying a word.
But the more he watched, the more he felt that his parents seemed to like Celeste even more than he had imagined.
In fact, it even seemed to him that they liked Celeste more than they liked Matthias.
After Celeste and the others left, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Dad, Mom, Celeste may be capable, but she’s not someone with upright intentions. You-” 1
Helena smiled. “Is that so? I think Cel’s intentions are very upright. Your father and I like her more and more the longer we know her.”
As she said this, there was even a hint of regret in the way she looked at Jorge.
If only her son hadn’t been so blind, maybe he and Celeste could have had a chance.
Celeste might have been divorced, but she was outstanding, had a good personality, and solid character. She was almost flawless.
If she could have had such an excellent daughter–in–law-
Jorge had no idea what his mother was thinking. He rubbed his temples
“Mom, I’m serious. She’s nothing like what you think. She’s extremely cunning. She’s not at all as obedient and harmless as she appears in front of you.”
Hearing this, Theodore immediately guessed the reason.
“You’re saying this because something happened again between Çel and Ms. Locket, and you think Cel is in the wrong?”
Jorge replied, “They didn’t have a conflict, but she-
Both Theodore and Helena already guessed what he was going to say–most likely something related to Trevor.
Theodore smiled. “What you see isn’t necessarily the truth. Your mother and I stand by our judgment, and we also hope you won’t let emotions cloud your thinking. Make a rational judgment.” a
Jorge hadn’t expected his parents‘ impression of Celeste to be this good.
Theodore patted him on the shoulder. “Go get some rest.”
Jorge hadn’t expected that his parents wouldn’t listen to him at all.

But it was also at that moment that he understood more deeply that Celeste’s methods were far more sophisticated than he had previously thought.
Then again, if her methods weren’t impressive enough, how could she have kept Matthias firmly under control, used him to get acquainted with so many powerful figures and build relationships with each of them, while at the same time effortlessly capturing Trevor’s heart–even when he already had Wynn?
Even people like his own parents and Harold had been fooled by Celeste. 3
Thinking of this, his expression darkened.
Celeste knew nothing of Jorge’s thoughts.
The next day, she went to Fleming Group as usual to handle work matters.
That day, it just so happened that Miles came to the Fleming Group to discuss business with Trevor.
While looking for Trevor, he saw Celeste.
As he left together with Trevor, he glanced back at Celeste, who was focused on her work in the meeting room.
Suddenly remembering something, he lowered his voice and asked, “Oh, right, I forgot to ask–have you two gone to handle the divorce procedures yet?”
Trevor replied calmly, “No.”
“You haven’t?” Miles was a little surprised.
“You’ve been back for so many days already. Why haven’t you gone to finalize the divorce with her? Is it because neither of you has time?”
Trevor said, “We’ve decided not to get divorced for now.” 1
