The Scent of 171

Chapter 171

Trevor didn’t say much and simply used his phone to call Celeste.

Celeste saw the call and directly cut it off.

Trevor paused for a moment before saying, “Your mom didn’t answer my call either.”

“She must have been busy, so she didn’t see it.” Otherwise, there was no way Celeste wouldn’t answer Trevor’s call.

“Maybe.” Trevor put on his suit jacket, picked up a black coat, and said, “I’m heading out. If you want to go out, have the bodyguards take you.”

“But I want Mom to go with me…” Even though she didn’t like it when Celeste disciplined her, she still wanted her company sometimes.

She pouted and asked, “Dad, are you going to the hospital to see Wynn, or are you heading to the office?”

“I’m stopping by the hospital first, then going to the office. Trevor lightly tapped her forehead. “I’m off. Have fun

She called Celeste two more times but still got no answer. With no other choice, she had the bodyguards and Hannah take her out.

But without the person she wanted to be with, even skiing felt boring. She quickly lost interest and went home.

After leaving the hospital, Trevor returned to Fleming Group.

Not long after he arrived, Miles showed up. Trevor glanced at him, and Miles grinned. “I came to watch the show.”

Before Trevor could say anything, Jacob walked over and said, “Mr. Payne is here.”

Trevor said, “Bring him up.”

Led by Jacob, Jason entered the reception room.

Trevor shook hands with him. “Please, have a seat.”

Jason didn’t waste any time. He sat down and took out the signed divorce agreement from the previous day, sliding it across the table to Trevor.

Trevor took it.

Since it was the weekend, Miles had specifically come to see if Celeste would really sign the papers. Seeing the document, he leaned in and, spotting Celeste’s signature, exclaimed in surprise, “She actually signed it?”

Trevor glanced at her signature without any visible reaction and then continued discussing matters with Jason.

Once their conversation was wrapping up, he said, “There are a lot of assets involved–properties, shares, and so on. I’need some time to handle the necessary transfers. Once everything is settled, I’ll contact you again.”

Jason nodded. “Understood.”

Trevor turned to Jacob. “Jacob, see Mr. Payne out.”

After leaving Fleming Group, Jason contacted Celeste and updated her on the situation.

She frowned. “How long will it take?”

“That depends on Mr. Fleming’s progress.”

“Got it.” Celeste said, “Thank you, Mr. Payne,”

The next day, she went to work at YodaVision as usual.

In the afternoon, she was discussing something with Matthias when his phone suddenly rang. Matthias glanced at the caller ID and frowned.

Celeste asked, “What’s wrong?

He handed her the phone. “It’s Jorge Robinson.”

Everyone in the industry knew each other. Though they didn’t interact often, they at least had each other’s contact information.

Since their last encounter at InnovaTech, Matthias didn’t expect to have any further dealings with Jorge

So, why was he suddenly calling? Puzzled, Matthias answered.

A moment later, he hung up and turned to Celeste. “He wants to collaborate on a new project.”

The two projects Celeste was leading had gained a lot of attention, and it was already confirmed that they would be involved in close cooperation with the government

With such a promising future, it was only a matter of time before potential partners lined up at YodaVision’s door.

The news hadn’t even gone public yet, and Jorge had already reached out.

Matthias smirked. “Theodore really is a sly old fox.”
