Chapter 154
But she didn’t look up, continuing her conversation with the tech team from Neural Nexus Tech.
Edwin chuckled, “Do you know Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Ramirez, Mr. Scott?”
Stewart replied, “Yeah.”
After all, they were all part of the Starfall elite, the second and third generations deeply embedded in a network of privilege. It was only natural that they would be familiar with each other.
However, Stewart had taken a different path from them; they were acquainted, certainly, but not close.
Dalton and the others exchanged brief greetings with Stewart before moving aside with Edwin to discuss work matters.
Vesta, however, stayed by Stewart’s side.
She had noticed Charlene too.
But with a mere glance, she dismissively turned her attention back to Stewart, “Did Mr. Ferguson just arrive?”
Stewart, competent in his own right and a student under Kenton, noticed Vesta’s persistent effort to bond despite sensing a hint of bias from Charlene towards her, which had always kept their interactions cool. But Vesta was undeterred, knowing well that their paths would cross more often once she became Kenton’s student too.
“I’ve been here for a bit,” Stewart replied, jotting down notes without much care, “Ms. Hawkins seems like she’s been here for a while.”
Vesta said, “I arrived at Neural Nexus Tech this morning but got caught up. I went upstairs to grab a drink and take a breather.”
Going upstairs, of course, meant visiting Thorne’s office.
Stewart paused, his tone cooling, “Oh, is that so? Mr. Henderson isn’t here with Neural Nexus Tech today?”
“No, he’s at The Henderson Group.”
Meaning, even without Thorne around, she had free access to his office?
Did Thorne keep no secrets from her?
Stewart just hummed in response, turning to approach Charlene to discuss a point in his notes.
Charlene glanced over, nodded in understanding, and turned back to her task.
Seeing this, Vesta inquired, “Is there a problem with a part of the project? Can you share it with me?”
Stewart replied tersely, “Ms. Hawkins, I’m in the middle of work. It’s not a good time.”
Just as Vesta was about to respond, Charlene approached Stewart with a set of data.
Vesta’s gaze turned icy at Charlene’s approach.
Charlene didn’t mean to exchange glances, but after speaking with Stewart, she found herself caught in Vesta’s icy stare. She briefly met her gaze before they both turned their attention back to resolving the data issue.
Vesta had her own data to process and returned to the conference room to sit down.
Dalton and the others were fine–tuning some contract details and noticed her return, asking, “Was there a bit of tension just now?”
Dalton and Kelvin were unaware of Vesta and Stewart’s earlier exchange.
From their perspective, the two seemed to be getting along fine.

But then, Charlene suddenly came over, pulled Stewart away, and cast a not–so–friendly glance at Vesta before leaving.
It almost looked like she was upset over Vesta speaking with Stewart, as if Vesta was trying to flirt with him. Vesta, without shifting her gaze from the computer, replied coolly, “Not at all. I was just asking Mr. Ferguson some professional questions.”
After Vesta explained, Dalton and the others recalled that she and Stewart were in the same major. They remembered that Stewart, being one of Kenton’s students, was highly regarded for his skills,
Vesta, always eager to learn, seeking advice from Stewart made sense,
Yet, Charlene seemed to misinterpret Vesta’s initiative as an attempt to flirt with Stewart, hence why she quickly intervened and gave Vesta a warning look.

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...
