Chapter 163
After After dinner, Charlene had barely walked through the door when her phone buzzed with a call from Stewart.
Upon hearing what Kenton had wanted with her, he said, “Abelard and Hickey, huh? I’ve met them already”
Then he added, “Oh, and that Dalton guy is actually Abelard’s son. Geez, with a father like that, you’d wonder why the kid ended up blind at such a young age.”
Charlene was honestly surprised to find out Dalton was Abelard’s son.
But then again, it wasn’t really her concern.
On Tuesday, Neural Nexus Tech had their inaugural test run for their autonomous cars, and Charlene and Stewart were there bright and early.
By the time they arrived, Dalton and Kelvin were already there.
They gave them a glance and quickly looked away.
Stewart wasn’t in the mood to mingle either, pulling Charlene along to get started on the testing.
Noticing that everything was set up but the testing hadn’t begun, Stewart asked, “What’s the hold–up?”
Quincy replied, “Mr. Henderson wants to oversee the test himself. We’ll begin as soon as Mr. Henderson
arrives.”
Stewart muttered, “…Oh.”
Something then clicked for Stewart, and he asked, “Hey, didn’t see Ms. Hawkins around today?”
Wasn’t Vesta supposed to be at Neural Nexus Tech to hone her skills? How come she’s already missing just a few days in?
Quincy chuckled and replied, “Oh, Ms. Hawkins wanted to advance her career, right? Mr. Henderson suggested the best way to do that was to lead a project team. So, last week, Mr. Henderson decided to restart a project that had been shelved and ordered it to be restructured. Over the past few days, Ms. Hawkins–now Director Hawkins–has been putting her team together and is currently in a meeting.”
Stewart glanced at Charlene, who was jotting down notes from earlier tests. She seemed unfazed by Quincy’s mention of Thorne setting up a team for Vesta.
He sighed and patted her head.
Charlene shrugged off his hand, “Cut it out.”
Stewart paused. Her tone was okay, seemed like she was no longer bothered by it. He felt relieved.
Just then, Thorne showed up, flanked by Granger and Moran. It was clear Granger and Moran hadn’t expected. Charlene to be there, their faces showing surprise at her presence.
Charlene, on the other hand, remained expressionless, giving them a brief look before turning away.
Thorne was polite, coming over to greet them, “Thanks for your hard work, everyone.”
Quincy jumped in, “Mr. Henderson, can we start now…?”
“Wait a bit, we’re expecting someone else,” Thorne checked his watch, “I’ll go upstairs to check on them. Please, bear with me for a moment.”
With that, he left.
Charlene didn’t mean to think much of it. But she knew, the person Thorne was waiting for had to be Vesta.
Meaning, they couldn’t start the test until Vesta was done with her meeting.
Stewart seemed to have realized the same thing, nearly cursing under his breath.

Thorne and Vesta soon came downstairs, Leah in tow.
Leah wasn’t surprised to see Charlene.
Vesta had given her a heads–up.
Seeing Charlene, Thorne’s wife, waiting like any other subordinate for her sister to finish up was a sight that brought a smirk of irony and triumph to Leah’s face.
Charlene didn’t bother figuring out why Leah was there, dressed to the nines in her business suit at Neural Nexus Tech.
She simply averted her gaze.
Vesta, however, apologized politely, “Sorry for keeping everyone waiting.”
Her apology seemed genuine, but her eyes only met Dalton, Stewart, and their company.

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...
