Chapter 156
Charlene knew that smile on Dalton’s face was a subtle tease, and she nodded in agreement, “Yeah.”
Vesta couldn’t help but notice how genuinely kind Stewart was to Charlene.
Her brow furrowed in thought.
Though Dalton had claimed they were too busy for lunch, their business was concluded, so he decided to leave Neural Nexus Tech with Charlene and Stewart.
Just then, Vesta got a call. After hanging up, she announced, “Thorne will be here soon. I’ll tag along with your guys.”
By the time they reached the lobby, Thorne was already waiting outside.
He got out of his car to greet Dalton and Stewart.
He glanced at Charlene but didn’t say anything to her. As for Vesta, she joined him as soon as he stepped out
his car.
Together, they indeed looked like a perfect couple.
Dalton was chatting with Thorne when Stewart, with a slight edge of disdain in his voice, interrupted, “Mr. Henderson, we’re off to grab some dinner. Excuse us.”
Thorne responded, “Take your time, Mr. Ferguson.”
Stewart and Charlene then took their leave.
After dinner with Mr. Ferrell and others, Charlene drove home. No sooner had she arrived than she received a call from Granger.
Catching her breath, she answered, “Mr. Harden.”
“The contract’s been signed,” Granger informed her. “You might want to confirm with your uncle. Let me know once you’ve done so.”
Without waiting for her response, he hung up.
Charlene was surprised by Granger’s efficiency. Still, she found herself unable to fully trust him.
After a moment’s thought, she called her uncle Vernon. “Uncle, has the company entered into a project with the Harden Group?”
“Yes,” Vernon sounded thrilled about the progress but also puzzled, “How did you come to know about it, Charlene?”
She deflected with a casual, “I heard it through the grapevine,” swiftly steering the conversation towards asking about Vernon’s health before hanging up. Moments later, she was on the phone with Granger again.
Granger picked up immediately.
Charlene mentioned, “I’m free over the weekend.”
“Great, should I set the schedule, or would you like to?” Granger asked.
“You do it.”
“Alright.”
After the call, Charlene took a relaxing bath, and since it was still early, she caught up with the latest developments in the global Al sector.
The next morning, after a quick breakfast and as she was about to leave for work, Granger called again, “l discussed it with Daisy last night, and she mentioned wanting to go skiing. Ms. Ross, are you up for skiing?”

Charlene confirmed, “Yes.” She was an experienced skier.
“Dip you need me to prepare any skiing gear for you?” Granger inquired.
“No need. I’ll buy my own,” she replied.
“See you Saturday then.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up, Charlene headed to work.
At five in the afternoon, Jasmine called, saying she was craving Charlene’s cooking.
Charlene visited her that evening.
Thorne wasn’t home, apparently away on a business trip.
Charlene ended up staying the night.
1:
Before taking Jasmine to school the next day, she remembered the upcoming ski trip with Daisy and decided to bring her ski gear, which she had left behind, to avoid having to buy new equipment later.
Seeing this, Jasmine asked, “Mom, are you going skiing?”
“Yes, in a few days.”
Jasmine exclaimed, “I want to go too!”
She hadn’t had enough fun during their last half–day at the ski resort with Vesta and the others.

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...
