THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 754

Celeste turned to Caitlin. "Catie, have you decided which university you're going to yet?"

"Not yet," Caitlin said, shaking her head.

"Well, we can pick our schools together then!" Celeste said cheerfully. "I'll try to choose one close to yours."

"Sounds good."

The reporter stood there, utterly dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it. Caitlin hadn't been lying at all. Not only did she have her pick of universities, but she was the top Math Olympiad champion in all of Asia.

My God. She wasn't just a top student. She was a legend.

Just then, the Hayeses arrived.

"Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, hello," Caitlin greeted them politely.

"Catie, you're here!" Celeste's mother took Caitlin's hand warmly. "It's been too long, dear. You've gotten even more beautiful!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Hayes. You're looking younger than ever."

Celeste linked her arm through Caitlin's and turned to her parents. "Mom, Dad, Catie and I are going to have lunch together. You don't need to wait for us." She hadn't seen Caitlin in ages and wanted some time alone with her friend.

"Alright, alright." Celeste's father took out his phone and sent some money to her PayPal. "Make sure Catie doesn't pay for anything."

"I know."

The afternoon exam didn't start until three. The Hayeses had booked a room at a hotel near the testing center, so after lunch, Celeste took Caitlin there to rest. The afternoon exam was math, and Celeste had Caitlin run through a dozen practice problems she'd been struggling with.

After a grueling flight of over twenty hours, Celia arrived in Silverhaven the day after the exams ended. She found Caitlin and Celeste at a street vendor, eating kebabs.

"Freya!"

Caitlin looked up at the familiar voice and saw Celia standing there.

"Celia! It's been so long!" she exclaimed, pleasantly surprised.

"It has, Freya." Celia gave Caitlin a quick hug before turning to Celeste.

"Celia, this is my best friend, Celeste. You can call her March."

Celia smiled and extended a hand. "It's nice to meet you, March. I'm Celia Palmer. Please, call me Celia."
