Chapter 146

After that moment, silence settled between them.
Charlene’s cousins hadn’t really met Thorne before. Now, faced with him in the flesh, curiosity sparked in their eyes as they sneaked peeks at him.
Thorne, having held a position of power for many years, carried an air of authority effortlessly. His every move radiated a certain dominance, even without trying.
Noticing their gaze, he shot a brief look their way.
Unable to meet his intense stare, they quickly averted their eyes, too intimidated to look again.
Thorne didn’t make any effort to continue the conversation, nor did he offer any pleasantries; he simply looked
away.
To Charlene, Thorne was the man she loved.
She had dived headfirst into that love and hadn’t managed to find her way out for years.
Considering how Thorne had treated her niece over the years, it was impossible for Vernon to harbor no resentment towards him.
But what could his grievances amount to? The Ross family stood no chance against Thorne.
Now that Thorne had made his appearance, Vernon, playing the gracious host, stood up and raised his glass, “Had I known Mr. Henderson would honor us with his presence, I would’ve ensured a warmer welcome. Please, forgive any oversight on our part.”
Thorne, also standing, clinked his glass with Vernon’s, replying politely, “You’re too kind, Mr. Ross.”
His deliberate use of “Mr. Ross” instead of “uncle” didn’t go unnoticed. It was clear he didn’t wish to acknowledge any familial ties with the Rosses.
Charlene had long come to terms with this situation. Now, she neither wanted nor needed his acknowledgment of her family.
She knew his presence was probably at Irma’s insistence.
Coolly, she told him, “We appreciate Irma’s intentions. If you have other commitments, please don’t feel obliged to stay.”
His presence only served to dampen the mood.
Thorne simply replied, “No rush,” leaving Charlene puzzled at his intention.
However, he didn’t continue the conversation with her, instead turning to Kenton, “Our company.recently developed a new feature that renders any product completely invisible to radar detection. Mr. Wagner, would you be interested in learning more?”
“Completely undetectable by any radar?” Kenton asked, his interest evidently piqued.
“Yes,” Thorne began, diving into a detailed discussion with Kenton.
Charlene hadn’t expected Thorne to engage her professor in such a topic.
Their exchange revealed Thorne’s deep knowledge of the Al field, something even Kenton found intriguing.
Naturally, both Charlene and Stewart found themselves drawn into the conversation.
Initially, they had only been half–listening while eating, but soon, they were so engrossed that they forgot about their food entirely.
Vernon had thought to remind them to continue eating but seeing their keen interest, he chose not to interrupt, fearing they might miss out on the discussion.

Except for Charlene, no one was particularly close to Thorne, and his arrival hadn’t been met with much enthusiasm.
Given the circumstances, Thorne could have easily felt out of place. However, he managed to command the room, drawing all attention to himself.
Of course, the evening was meant to celebrate Helena.
Thorne didn’t intend to steal the spotlight.
After a few minutes, he suggested, “Mr. Wagner, if you’re interested in continuing this conversation, perhaps we could arrange a time to delve deeper into it?”

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...
