Chapter 144
Leah snorted, “She’s got some nerve!” As she spoke, her annoyance bubbled up again, “All these big shots showing up to Helena’s birthday party, they must be close, huh?”
“Not really,” Vesta’s tone was icy, “They’re barely acquaintances.”
In her view, Charlene got to know Kenton through Stewart.
Kenton showing up at the Ross family gathering was probably Stewart’s doing.
Hearing it, Leah said, “Oh, well, that’s a relief then.”
Granger and Moran were sitting at the table next to Vesta, not too far behind her.
Granger, who had been quietly enjoying his meal, paused when he heard someone mention Kenton attending the Ross family gathering. “The Ross family’s gathering?”
Moran explained, “Oh, today is also Charlene’s grandma’s birthday. They’re hosting the celebration on the same day as this side, and there’s a high overlap in the guest list due to Thorne and Vesta’s connection. Most of the guests overlapping are here with us now.”
He wasn’t aware of this before.
He had just overheard it in the banquet hall.
Granger caught on, “So, you’re saying the Ross family’s side is practically empty now?”
Moran shrugged, “Yeah. Heard three–quarters of the seats are empty.”
As he said this, he laughed, “To watch so many guests leave and not be able to keep them, that’s just sad-”
Even though he mentioned the Ross family’s misfortune, his tone was clearly schadenfreude.
Granger’s expression changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up.
Seeing this, Moran was puzzled, “What’s up?”
Granger replied, “I need to make a call.”
With that, he quickly turned and left without waiting for Moran to respond.
Seeing Granger hurry off, Vesta and Leah looked over.
Vesta inquired, “Where’s Granger off to?”
“He’s got something urgent, went to make a call.”
“Oh…” Vesta didn’t probe further.
There was an empty seat beside her, reserved for Thorne.
Katie checked the time, asking, “Vesta, Thorne’s not here yet? Maybe you should nudge him a bit?”
Vesta was thinking the same. She took out her phone to call Thorne. But the call didn’t go through.
Today, the Spencer family’s housewarming party was attended by numerous guests. The Spencer family had to go from table to table to toast with the guests, to get acquainted and foster relationships.
This process naturally involved Vesta.
After all, it was because of Vesta that the guests came to the Spencer family’s gathering.
And with Vesta there, the guests were certainly more inclined to give them face.
As they approached to toast, the guests politely stood up.

After exchanging pleasantries, someone asked, “Ms. Hawkins, Mr. Henderson hasn’t arrived yet?”
Vesta replied, “He’s on his way, should be here shortly.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone not far off mentioned, “My friend told me Mr. Henderson went to the Ross family too.”
“Mr. Henderson went to Helena Ross‘ birthday party? Really?”
“The pictures are already out, could it be fake? Look for yourself.”
“This really is Mr. Henderson!”
Everyone’s gaze turned towards Vesta.
They didn’t have strong ties to the Spencer family. Their presence was partially out of respect for Thorne and
also because the Ross family’s business was faltering and unlikely to bounce back.
Now, not only had Kenton gone to the Ross family, but Thorne was also there for Helena’s birthday.
So, why were they here in the first place?

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...
