Chapter 186
Thorne didn’t say much, just pulled out his phone and dialed Charlene.
Charlene saw the call but decided to disconnect.
Thorne paused for a moment, then remarked, “Looks like your mom didn’t pick up my call either.”
“She’s probably busy, didn’t you see?” Jasmine said. Otherwise, her mom would never miss her dad’s call..
“Maybe,” Thorne replied as he slipped into his suit jacket and grabbed a black trench coat. “I’m heading out. If you want to go out, you can ask the bodyguard to take you.”
“But I want mom to come with me…”
Even though she sometimes resented her mother’s nagging, there were moments she wished for her company.
Then, cupping her face, she asked, “Dad, are you visiting Ms. Hawkins at the hospital or heading back to the office?”
“Hospital first, then the office,” Thorne gently tapped on her forehead. “Off I go, have fun on your own.”
Jasmine murmured a disappointed, “Oh…”
After two more unreturned calls to Charlene, Jasmine resigned to having the bodyguard and Latonia accompany her out.
But without her favorite person, even skiing felt joyless, and it wasn’t long before she returned home, disheartened.
Leaving the hospital, Thorne made his way back to Henderson Group.
Soon after, Moran showed up.
With a glance at Thorne, Moran quipped, “Here to enjoy the show?”
Before Thorne could respond, Coy approached, saying, “Mr. Padgett is here.”
“Send him up,” Thorne directed.
Led by Coy, Padgett entered Thorne’s guest reception room.
After a firm handshake, Thorne gestured, “Please, have a seat.”
Without much preamble, Padgett sat down and presented the divorce agreement Charlene had signed the day before, sliding it across to Thorne.
Taking it, Thorne acknowledged the document.
Curious about it, Moran leaned in to check if Charlene had indeed signed.
Seeing her signature, he exclaimed in surprise, “She actually signed?”
Thorne glanced at Charlene’s name but remained expressionless, then turned his attention back to Padgett.
After a brief discussion, he said, “The agreement involves a substantial number of properties and shares. It will take some time to handle the necessary transfers. I’ll contact you once everything is settled.”
“Alright,” replied Padgett.
Thorne then instructed Coy, “Coy, would you escort Mr. Padgett out?”
After leaving Henderson Group, Padgett reached out to Charlene to update her on the proceedings.
Flowning, she inquired, “How long will it take to finalize?”

“That depends on Mr. Hend
progress. progress.”
“Got it,” Charlene responded. “Thank you, Mr. Padgett.”
The next day, she went to her job at PrimeStar as usual.
In the afternoon, while discussing work with Stewart, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Stewart frowned.
“What’s up?” Charlene asked.
He showed her the screen, replying, “Dalton’s call.”
Given their shared circles, they weren’t strangers to each other’s numbers, though their interactions were minimal.
Since their last meeting at Neural Nexus Tech, Stewart believed there was nothing that necessitated contact with Dalton.
uzzled but curious, Stewart answered the call.
After hanging up, he turned to Charlene and said, “He’s interested in partnering on a new project.”
The projects led by Charlene had caught their professors‘ attention, promising close collaboration with the government again.
With the projects‘ bright prospects, they anticipated a flood of partnership inquiries once the news broke. And Dalton, getting wind of it before the public, had already made his move.
With a smirk, Stewart commented, “Abelard’s quite the sly fox.”

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...
