Chapter 188
They had a couple of projects on the table that, when they really got down to it, could actually align with Neural Nexus Tech…
Charlene listened, her voice cool and detached, “Not sure. But let’s focus on the projects themselves for now, set personal grievances aside.”
“I get it.”
A little bit of attitude was okay, but when it came down to brass tacks, he never let his emotions get the best of him.
At this point, Stewart was actually looking forward to a call from Thorne.
But his hopes were dashed. Instead of hearing from Thorne, he received several other calls–all about new collaborations, but none from Thorne.
However, as the day neared its end, he got a call from an unknown number.
He glanced at it and decided to answer.
The voice on the other end got straight to the point: “Mr. Ferguson? This is Henley, Vesta’s father.”
Stewart stopped in his tracks.
He pulled the phone away briefly to say to Charlene, “Henley.”
Charlene looked at him, her silence saying more than words ever could.
After so many years, Stewart knew exactly what she meant.
If it were anyone else, they might set aside past conflicts to collaborate. But with the Hawkins family, there was no need for such concessions.
Stewart brought the phone back to his ear, his tone cordial but his gaze icy, “Ah, Mr. Hawkins, what can I do for you today?”
Henley was indeed looking for a collaboration with Stewart.
After explaining his proposition, Stewart responded, “I understand Mr. Hawkins‘ proposal. If it’s a good fit, we’ll definitely consider Mr. Hawkins first. Rest assured.”
Henley wasn’t naive. He knew Stewart’s words were carefully chosen, leaving the actual outcome uncertain.
Henley tried to invite Stewart for a meal, but Stewart, claiming to be swamped with work, ended the call.
He turned to Charlene, saying, “Dalton, Granger, as the top families in the country, I get why they’re in the loop so fast, but the Hawkins family…”
The Hawkins family, newcomers to Starfall, hadn’t even settled in properly yet but were already in the know, which suggested…
Charlene knew he meant that the Hawkins family getting the news so quickly was likely through Thorne or Granger.
Given Thorne’s feelings for Vesta and the relationship between Granger and Vesta, it wasn’t surprising they’d share the news with the Hawkins.
Stewart grimaced, his good mood effectively ruined.
But he was aware that Charlene was probably feeling even worse.
Hsaid, “Come on, I’ve got money to burn. Let me treat you to a feast!”
Charlene’s mood wasn’t as bad as Stewart thought.

Chapide
She’d come to terms with a lot of things,
H& mood wasn’t easily swayed by others anymore.
Besides, this time, she held the cards,
She had nothing to worry about.
But since Stewart was offering, she wasn’t going to say no.
She smiled, “Thanks, Stewart.”
With that, they left together.

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...
