After Jordyn left, Celeste went upstairs, turned on her computer, and got to
work.
About an hour later, Jason sent her sdocuments to review.

Celeste opened them and looked through them. The first thing that caught her eye was the three newly added
properties, with their specific locations clearly marked:
She paused when she saw the details.
All three properties were vacant units in the Rodriguez family’s residential neighborhood, and they were
relatively close to the Rodriguez residence.
To be honest, although Trevor had previously helped her buy the house in front of the Rodriguez residence, that
alone didn’t completely put her at ease.
After all, Betty loved going out for walks. Even if the Shaw family no longer lived right across from her, as long as
they were in the sneighborhood, they would inevitably run into each other.

That had always worried her. But now...
Looking at this new agreement-was Trevor trying to eliminate her concerns once again?
Even though he was likely just expressing his gratitude and ensuring she wouldn't overthink things, these three
properties still felt like they were perfectly tailored to her needs.
As for anything else, she neither dwelled on it nor cared. So, she moved on to the next document.
It stated that Trevor would first transfer two billion dollars to her as cash flow.
Although she had already witnessed his wealth-both at the auction and when she learned he had bought homes
for the Locket family-seeing him casually move around billions of dollars still surprised her.
After confirming there were no issues, Celeste contacted Jason.
Shortly after the agreement was signed, the money was credited to her account.
As for the properties, Trevor's lawyer said the ownership transfer was still being processed, and in a couple of
days, the property deeds would be delivered to Celeste.
By the teverything was settled, the morning had already passed.
Since Martha had just undergone surgery, Betty was worried she might feel lonely, so she decided to visit her at
the hospital in the afternoon.
Celeste went along as well.
Starting Monday, she would be fully immersed in work, and she likely wouldn't have tto visit Martha again
for a while.
When they arrived at the hospital, Celeste once again saw Wynn.
She wasn’t particularly concerned about Wynn and Trevor's relationship. The last tshe saw Wynn standing
outside the car waiting, she hadn't given it much thought.
But today, the weather was cold and windy. Yet Wynn was still standing outside, making it obvious that she was
doing it on purpose for Celeste to see.
She was sending a message saying that she and Trevor were doing just fine. No matter what Celeste did, she

Celeste smiled but
She glanced at Betty. She wasn’t sure how Betty felt about Wynn.
Just then, Betty happened to lower her head and didn’t notice Wynn
Celeste didn’t mention it either. She withdrew her gaze; linked arms with Betty, and walked toward the hospital
entrance.
Since Wynn was waiting downstairs, that meant Trevor must be inside.
Sure enough, when Celeste and Betty entered the hospital room, Trevor was there.
Seeing them, he greeted them.
Celeste’s expression remained indifferent.
Martha, on the other hand, was delighted to see them. She held Betty's hand and said, “I have to trouble my
dear old friend to visitagain.”
“We've been friends for so many years-why say such things?”
Celeste and Betty sat down. They both noticed that Martha looked much better today, with more color in her
face and a liveller spirit than before.
Seeing this, they finally felt at ease.
