The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 167

Just now, Matthias had called her to say that he had arranged for a lawyer, and she would be meeting them tomorrow morning

Celeste needed to finalize the divorce as soon as possible.

Beck knew she had misunderstood, but he didn’t correct her. He simply responded, “Alright.”

At this point, Celeste assumed he was about to hang up. But when he didn’t, she asked in confusion, “Mr. Harper, is there anything else?”

Beck could tell that her voice was calm–there was no trace of the pain, sorrow, or turmoil he had expected.

But… Was that really the case? Or was she just suppressing her emotions?

When he remained silent for two or three seconds, Celeste prompted, “Mr. Harper? Are you still there?”

He snapped back to reality and replied, “Yes.”

Celeste asked again, “Is there anything else?” Then, without hesitation, 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 further conversation, Celeste ended the call.

Zachary had taken a liking to one of her recent research ideas. A few days ago, he had messaged her, asking her to organize her content.

He offered to review it and, if there were no issues, guide her in submitting it to a journal.

She had been very busy with InnovaTech and YodaVision recently, so this project had seen little progress. Now that she finally had some free time, she wanted to get it done as soon as possible.

With that thought, she put her phone aside and opened her laptop.

After hanging up, Beck called Miles back and asked, “Trevor wants a divorce and full custody of Jo. She must have disagreed, right? Are they preparing for a legal battle?”

The reason Miles had called him earlier was precisely to discuss this 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!”

Hearing this, Beck was equally shocked. This wasn’t something Celeste would do.

Just like Miles, he also found it hard to believe that Celeste would so easily give up custody of Jordyn. It didn’t make sense.

Miles asked, “So, what do you think is going on?” Before Beck could answer, Miles continued, “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?“.
