Chapter 132
Just like with the previous house deed, if something was placed on her vanity, it meant it was meant for her.
Charlene, puzzled, opened one of the round brocade boxes.
The moment she opened it, she was struck speechless.
This… was the emerald jewelry set she had wanted to bid on at the auction days ago!
The other was a heavier, rectangular box. Could it be….
Setting aside the round box, Charlene opened the other to find, indeed, it was a scroll,
She placed the scroll on the round table in her room and slowly unrolled it.
A vibrant, shimmering tapestry came into view, taking her breath away.
She had successfully got the two auction items she had set her sights on.
Charlene was silent for a long moment. She thought, if she wasn’t mistaken, these items were birthday gifts Thorne had bid on for Helena.
One in the name of Irma. The other, a joint gift from her and him…
“Mom, I’m done eating, can we go out now!”
At that moment, Jasmine came running up the stairs to find her.
Seeing the opened boxes, she peered inside and said, “Oh, dad brought these home a few days ago, said they were for you, mom.”
Charlene hummed softly, carefully rolled up the scroll, and placed it back in the box.
After securing the boxes, Charlene and Jasmine headed out.
Jasmine wanted to go shooting, so Charlene took her to the shooting range, and afterward, they rode the roller
coaster.
After spending most of the day with Jasmine, Charlene now had some time for herself. Jasmine, still buzzing. with energy, wanted to continue the fun.
In the past, Charlene would never dampen her spirits, always putting Jasmine first and her own affairs last.
But now, Charlene said calmly, “Mom has some errands to run. If you want to keep playing, maybe the bodyguard can stay with you?”
Jasmine didn’t want the bodyguard’s company.
She pouted unhappily, clinging to Charlene, “Mommy…”
This tactic used to work every time, and Charlene couldn’t resist her pleading.
But this time, gently pushing her away, Charlene said, “Mom really has to do something, I’ll join you next time.”
Seeing Charlene’s firm stance and frowning, Jasmine realized her mom must have something important to do and reluctantly agreed, “Okay then…”
After making sure the bodyguard would take good care of Jasmine, Charlene got in her car, turned on the GPS, and headed to an antique market she had never visited before.
After browsing for a while, she found a set of writing tools of exceptionally rare materials and craftsmanship.
Charlene fell in love at first sight and purchased it for a hefty sum..
Although this set of writing tools was much cheaper than the tapestry and jewelry set she had previously considered, Charlene knew Helena would appreciate it more.

Gently touching the special texture of the paper and the delicately carved ancient wood of the brush, Charlene could already picture her grandma’s delighted expression upon receiving the gift.
Yes, this set of writing tools was a birthday gift she had personally chosen for her grandma.
As for Thorne’s gifts-
Her thoughts were interrupted by Connie’s call coming in.

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...
