Chapter 149
Granger could sense Charlene’s hesitation, so he reassured her, “I promise, my personal matters will never interfere with the business between your uncle and me.”
“Are you sure?” Charlene asked, a hint of skepticism in her voice.
“Absolutely.”
Charlene was well aware of her uncle’s company’s dire straits.
After a moment’s pause, she finally agreed, “Okay.”
“Whenever you’re free, let me know. I’ll arrange a meeting time.”
“Okay,” Charlene replied.
As they spoke, Granger noticed how the cold night wind tousled her hair. “It’s chilly out tonight. You should head inside,” he suggested.
Hearing his words stopped Charlene in her tracks. They were eerily similar to what Thorne had told her just moments before.
She nodded silently and got into her car.
Granger remained outside.
As the car passed him, Charlene rolled down the window, gave a nod of acknowledgment, and then sped off.
Granger watched her car disappear into the distance before he too left.
Charlene returned to the Ross residence.
Helena and Vernon were still up, while Nadine and Carl had retired upstairs.
Seeing Charlene return, Helena and Vernon looked up, obviously having waited up for her.
“Come here” Helena said.
As Helena gestured for her, Charlene set her bag down and took a seat beside her.
Holding Charlene’s hand, Helena asked, “Have you decided to let go of Thorne?”
Her attitude towards Thorne today had been markedly different from before, and it was hard not to notice.
“Yes,” Charlene said softly. “We’re planning to get a divorce.”
Helena smiled, saying, “Well, that’s good. Divorce is good.”
But then her expression turned worried. “But Minnie is quite attached to him, and he has been really good to Minnie these past years. He probably won’t let you have Minnie’s custody, this…”
Charlene wasn’t concerned about Jasmine’s custody.
She hadn’t yet voiced this thought.
“I know. I’ll discuss it with him properly. It’s late; let’s all get some rest,” she suggested.
Though Helena and Vernon went off to bed, Charlene couldn’t rest just yet.
Because on the way home, Kenton and Stewart had discussed a lot, and upon reaching her room, Charlene had received a list of project tasks from Stewart, marked as urgent by their teacher, that needed completion by 6
a.m.
Setting her bag aside and taking a sip of water, Charlene replied, “Got it,” and immediately got to work without even taking off her makeup or showering.
By 4 a.m., she had finished her tasks and sent the compiled content back.

Stewart, just as busy, was almost finished too and reminded her, “The professor wants us to visit him by 9
Okay,” Charlene responded.
After shutting down their computers, Charlene headed to the bathroom to remove her makeup and take a shower.
By the time she was done, it was already past 5 a.m.
She set her alarm for 8 a.m. and finally turned off the lights and went to bed.
The alarm woke her up feeling wiped out the next day, but she didn’t dare linger in bed and immediately got up to get ready.
As she made her way downstairs, her lack of energy was apparent. Helena expressed her concern, “Why didn’t you sleep in?”
“I have to visit my professor,” Charlene explained.
Knowing how strict Kenton could be, Helena suggested, “I’m worried about you driving in this state. Let the driver take you.”
“Okay,” Charlene agreed.
Upon arriving at Kenton’s villa, the trio went straight to the study to begin their work.

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...
