Matthias had called Celeste to inform her that a lawyer had been arranged. She would meet them tomorrow morning. For Celeste, this wasn't just a meeting—it was the final step toward freedom. She needed to finalize the divorce as quickly as possible.
Beck, on the other end of the line, knew she had misunderstood something. Perhaps the lawyer wasn't just for the divorce? But he didn't correct her. Instead, he simply responded, "Alright."
There was a pause. Celeste waited for him to hang up. When he didn't, she asked, puzzled, "Mr. Harper, is there anything else?"
Beck listened carefully to her voice. It was calm—no pain, no sorrow, no turmoil. He had expected her to be broken, barely holding herself together. But she sounded... composed. Too composed.
Was she really okay? Or was she just forcing a mask over her broken heart?
Two or three seconds of silence stretched between them. Celeste prompted again, "Mr. Harper? Are you still there?"
Snapping back to reality, Beck replied, "Yes."
"Is there anything else?" she asked, and without waiting for him to answer, she added, "I have other matters to handle. If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up."
Beck had no choice but to say, "Alright."
Without another word, Celeste ended the call.
She set her phone aside and opened her laptop. Earlier, Zachary had taken a strong interest in one of her recent research ideas. A few days ago, he had messaged her, asking her to organize her material. He offered to review it, and if everything was in order, he would guide her on submitting it to a journal. With Innova Tech and Yoda Vision keeping her incredibly busy, this project had been put on hold. But now that she had a rare moment of free time, she wanted to get it done as soon as possible.

On the other side, after hanging up, Beck immediately called Miles back.
"Trevor wants a divorce and full custody of Jo," Beck began. "She must have disagreed, right? Are they preparing for a legal battle?"
Miles had called him earlier specifically about this very matter. He quickly replied, "No! She agreed! Whether it was the divorce or custody, she didn't object at all. She just signed the papers. She was completely calm—I swear, it's like I saw a ghost!"
Beck was equally shocked. This wasn't the Celeste he knew. Just like Miles, he found it hard to believe that Celeste would so easily give up custody of Jordyn. It didn't make sense.
Miles speculated, "So, what do you think is going on? Could it be that she's using this to gain Trevor's sympathy? Trying to make him feel guilty?"
Beck had no answer. He couldn't deny the possibility. Knowing how deeply Celeste felt for Trevor, it wasn't out of the question. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What about Trevor? How did he react?"
Miles said, "Trevor was definitely surprised. During dinner at the manor, I could tell he was paying more attention to Celeste than usual. Damn, if my guess is right, Celeste is really playing a smart game here. Can't underestimate her!"
Beck replied coolly, "Or maybe... She truly wants a divorce."
Miles paused. "You mean Celeste?" He let out a dismissive laugh. "No way. She's liked Trevor since she was a teenager. After all these years, there's no way she'd willingly leave him."
Beck's words carried a deeper meaning. "People change."
Miles insisted, "I still don't believe it." Then, changing the subject, he said, "Anyway, this is good news for Trevor. When you get back from your trip, and once Wynn has recovered a bit, we should celebrate."
Only then did he notice that Beck had fallen unusually silent.

This chapter is a masterclass in subtle storytelling. The quiet phone call between Celeste and Beck, her calm acceptance of the divorce and custody arrangements, and Miles' disbelief all build an atmosphere of eerie calm before a storm. Celeste's actions are too composed, too collected—it makes you wonder if she's truly let go or if she's biding her time for something bigger. Beck's silence at the end speaks volumes. A beautifully tense chapter that leaves you questioning everything.
⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
