Coy's expression soured, believing that Charlene was using her position to get special treatment. "Ms. Ross, please watch your attitude at work. Do you think this is your home?"
Charlene picked up her purse, her demeanor unchanged. "If you're unsatisfied, you can fire me right now."
"You—"
He had accompanied Thorne to Goldland but was also aware of Charlene's resignation letter. Although he had Thorne's trust, the company wasn't his domain. Coy didn't have the power to tell Charlene to leave.
Moreover, Charlene was in good graces with Irma. If Charlene complained there, even if Thorne backed him up, it wouldn't end well for him.
Without paying him any mind, Charlene left.
Coy's face turned a shade greener as he left the secretarial department.
Josh noticed his foul mood and asked, "What happened?"
Coy relayed the incident.
Josh was stunned.
Usually, he interacted with Charlene more frequently and knew her character well.
He couldn't help saying, "It doesn't sound like something Charlene would do. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"There's no misunderstanding. It happened exactly like that. Charlene is exploiting her status. She's not as commendable as you've described."
Josh paused. "Maybe she's acting out because she's resigning?"
But Charlene had been actively working lately, just as before.
Right then, Thorne approached. "What's going on?"
"It's about Ms. Ross. She left work unfinished."
"If you're dissatisfied, just follow the procedure to dismiss her." It was clear Thorne didn't care much about the situation.
Josh and Coy were stunned, not by Thorne's indifference toward Charlene's situation, but by his implication that he was unaware of her resignation letter.
So, this time, even with Jasmine back in the country, she didn't pick her up from Thorne's but went alone to the Ross family.
Traffic was heavy, and it was already past six in the evening when Charlene arrived at the Ross family.
Helena's smile faded to a look of concern as she touched Charlene's face. "You've lost weight, sweetie."
Charlene's eyes shimmered slightly. "I've been busy at work."
Helena sighed. "No matter how busy, you must eat properly."
"I know, Grandma. I'll take care of myself."
Sitting next to Helena, Charlene rested her head on her shoulder for some comfort.
Seeing the lamb stew was ready, Helena instructed the staff to serve some to Charlene to warm her up.
Listening to Helena's caring words and thinking of recent events brought tears to Charlene's eyes.

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...
