Chapter 176
Quincy’s face was all smiles as he was the first to greet, “Director Hawkins.”
Vesta returned the smile with a nod, then turned to them and said, “Thorne is treating my team to dinner at the diner downtown. Mr. Ferguson, Quincy, would you like to join?” She deliberately left Charlene out of the
invitation.
Quincy was naturally keen to accept. He glanced at Stewart and then at Charlene.
Stewart promptly responded, “We appreciate the gesture, Ms. Hawkins, but we’ve got our own plans.”
Vesta frowned, insisting, “Mr. Ferguson…”
She hadn’t expected Stewart to steadfastly refuse, despite her repeated attempts.
Her gaze then shifted to Charlene, who was sipping water quietly on the side. Catching Vesta’s look, Charlene responded with a chilly stare.
esta withdrew her gaze.
Aside from her looks, Vesta couldn’t fathom what Charlene had that made Stewart so protective of her.
Was she exceptional or outstanding in any way?
With Stewart’s refusal, Vesta simply smiled, maintaining her composure, and said, “Alright, maybe next time then.” With that, she turned and left without another glance at Charlene or Quincy.
Quincy felt somewhat ignored.
“Ms. Hawkins can be quite aloof at times,” he commented.
Though Vesta did have the credentials to be proud, Thorne, the real big boss, always showed them courtesy and politeness whenever they met.
Stewart shrugged, “It’s obvious.”
Vesta acted as if she ran Neural Nexus Tech all by herself.
Even without Thorne’s backing, her self–esteem seemed sky–high.
Thorne, probably informed by Vesta that they wouldn’t be joining for dinner, came over later to cordially shake hands with Stewart, saying, “Then we’ll be off. Mr. Ferguson, please do join us next time.”
“Of course,” Stewart replied.
Thorne offered a smile, glanced at Charlene, then turned to leave with Vesta and the others waiting at the doo After lunch, Charlene and Stewart returned to Neural Nexus Tech.
It was a while before Vesta and her team returned.
By 6 PM, Charlene and Stewart had finished their work for the day and were ready to head out, as nothing urgent was left and there was still plenty of time to handle everything. But it seemed Vesta and her team were still busy, showing no signs of leaving anytime soon.
Quincy mentioned, “Heard they’re pulling an all–nighter.”
Stewart simply responded, “Oh.”
Charlene said, “Let’s head out.”
Stewart offered, “Dinner’s on me.”
Charlene shook her head, “No thanks, I’ve got other plans.”
Tema had requested her presence back at the family home for dinner.

Upon arriving home, to her surprise, Thorne and Jasmine were already there.
Charlene hadn’t expected Thorne to return, thinking he might stay back at the office with Vesta.
Noticing her arrival, Thorne gave her a quick glance before going back to his laptop.
At dinner, Thorne sat next to Charlene. Seeing him engrossed in his phone, she suddenly spoke up, “Got a moment later? There’s something I need to discuss with you.”

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...
