Chapter 114
While strolling through the lobby towards the elevator, the staff bumped into Thorne and his group.
Moran inquired, “What’s this meal…?”
The staff immediately replied, “Ordered by the lady.”
Naturally, the “lady” referred to Charlene.
Moran didn’t give the staff a hard time and let him go ahead with delivering the meal.
However, after the staff left, he chuckled, “Looks like, we won’t need to call her for dinner later.”
Thorne responded nonchalantly, “Let’s invite her anyway.”
Hearing this, Vesta paused, then glanced at Thorne with pursed lips.
Granger and Moran were also taken aback..
But Moran quickly laughed it off, adding, “True. Irma specifically instructed you to take good care of her. It wouldn’t end well with Irma if we dine without inviting her.”
After all, they were at the Henderson family’s private estate. It was likely Irma had her ways of keeping an eye on things here.
Any small movement on their part could easily reach Irma’s ears.
Hearing this, Vesta relaxed her lips.
She had thought that, through Irma’s matchmaking, Thorne had developed genuine feelings for Charlene…
But Moran’s comment cleared up her misunderstanding.
Granger, too, shifted his gaze away after Moran’s words.
At that moment, Jasmine returned. Thorne ruffled her hair, saying, “Go upstairs and call Mom down for dinner.”
Jasmine paused, hesitantly asking, “Invite Mom to dine with us?”
“Yes.”
Jasmine opened her mouth, furrowed her brows, then looked towards Vesta.
She didn’t want her mom dining with them.
If her mom joined, she would definitely target Ms. Hawkins, leading to an unpleasant atmosphere for everyone. Vesta offered a comforting smile, “Go ahead.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Jasmine went upstairs. When Jasmine rang the doorbell, Charlene was already in her room, dining.
Seeing Jasmine standing outside through the TV monitor, Charlene put down her fork and knife, and opened the door. “Minnie?”
Jasmine looked up at Charlene and said, “Mom, Dad asked me to invite you to dine with us.”
Charlene declined without hesitation. “I’m already eating. You all go ahead.”
Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Okay, so… I’ll just tell Dad that?”
Charlene knew her daughter was reluctant to have her join the dinner downstairs. She saw the reluctance in her expression and simply said, “Yes, go ahead.”
Jasmine smiled brightly. “Okay!” Saying so, she turned to leave, taking a few steps before feeling a bit guilty.
Mom, are you okay dining alone? Maybe, I can keep you company?”
08:54
he place was bustling with activity downstairs. It felt somewhat pitiful to leave her mom alone upstairs, away froth the action.
er offer to stay was clearly reluctant. Obviously, she preferred joining Thorne, Vesta, and the others for dinner over staying with Charlene.
Charlene didn’t want to impose on her.
Such reluctant company was not what she desired.
She bent down and said, her voice tender, “It’s okay. Mom likes some quiet time alone. You go ahead.” “Hearing this, Jasmine’s guilt lessened significantly, and she nodded: “Okay, then I’m off.”
Charlene: “Go ahead.”
Jasmine quickly left.
Charlene watched her daughter’s departing figure, closed the door, and returned to her room to continue dining.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
