Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 18
She was worried Helena would be concerned if she knew about her distress, so she quickly composed herself and asked, "Has Aunt Linda and the rest not returned from their vacation yet?"
"Nope, they are having too much fun and said they'd be back a week later," came the reply.
"What about Uncle Vernon? Does he have another business dinner tonight?"
"Your Uncle Vernon heard you were coming home and canceled his engagements. He said he'd be back for dinner with us. Should be here any minute now."
"Good."
No sooner had they finished speaking than Vernon Ross walked in.
Seeing Charlene, he said with a smile. "Charlene, you're back." But then his expression turned to concern. "Why have you lost so much weight? Haven’t you been eating well?"
Charlene laughed it off. "I've been too busy. I'll eat more tonight."
Vernon sighed and kept adding roast beef to her plate when dinner was ready.
Vernon mentioned she had lost weight, but Charlene noticed that he looked worn out. Though she never worked at the Ross Group, she knew the difficult times it was facing. Vernon was busy with work daily, struggling to keep the company afloat.
Over the years, the Ross Group wouldn’t have been in such dire straits if Thorne had extended his support.
Besides the two desperate occasions when Irma intervened, Thorne had never helped her. Charlene thought that if it weren’t for Irma, Thorne, with his misunderstandings about her, would probably have been more inclined to destroy the Ross Group than help it.
With those thoughts, the savory taste of the roast beef turned bland in her mouth.
Knowing her predicament, Vernon never asked her to seek help from Thorne, even in times of need.
After dinner, while Helena dozed off, Charlene handed Vernon a seventy-million check.
"Charlene, I don’t need—"
It was past ten o'clock when Thorne got home.
Rubbing her eyes, Jasmine greeted him, "Dad, you're back?"
"Yes," he replied tersely. "Go to bed if you're tired."
"Okay. Good night, Dad."
"Good night."
After Jasmine went upstairs to sleep, Thorne took the glass of water the butler handed him, finished it, and headed upstairs.
The bedroom was pitch black, seemingly empty. Thorne paused before turning on the light. As expected, it was empty.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
