Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 217
Chapter 217
Charlene said, “You guys go ahead and eat. I’m not coming.”
Jasmine looked surprised. “Mom, you’re not coming?”
“Nope.” Charlene gently patted Jasmine’s head. “You all have a great time.”
“Oh… okay.”
Charlene gave a soft smile, said no more, and turned to leave without looking back.
Thorne watched her go, but instead of calling her back, he turned to Jasmine and said, “Let’s head out too.”
“Alright.”
No sooner had they gotten into the car than Thorne’s phone rang.
It was Irma Henderson calling.
As soon as he picked up, Irma’s voice came through, tense and biting. “Did you seriously start a project with the Hawkins and Spencer families at the company?”
Thorne simply replied, “Yes,” with a slight chuckle. “You just found out?”
“You!” Irma was even more frustrated. “What is this supposed to mean? Are you planning to divorce Charlene?”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so blatant about it.
By roping in the Hawkins and Spencer families into the Henderson Group, it was obvious he wasn’t worried about her finding out. This meant his mind was made up.
Before he could respond, Irma cut in, “I won’t allow it! You can start the project, I won’t oppose that, but you need to replace the people involved. If you don’t, then I will-*
“Grandma,” Thorne said, his tone unchanged, “I fulfilled the conditions you set before the marriage. Now, please respect your end of the bargain and don’t interfere with my decisions.”
In other words, the Hawkins and Spencer families were off–limits to her.
“You…”
Since Thorne had taken over the Henderson Group, the company had been thriving.
Over the years, the shareholders and key management understood that following Thorne’s lead almost always
meant success.
If she tried to challenge Thorne, the other shareholders would likely be the first to oppose her.
In short, the Henderson Group needed Thorne more than Thorne needed the Henderson Group.
Threatening him with the company was pointless.
And using family ties as leverage?
As Thorne pointed out, marrying Charlene was already a compromise on his part.
Irma knew he was never someone who would continuously back down for others.
Once he had what he wanted, he remained true to himself.
If pushed too hard…
Irma’s silence meant she had conceded. Thorne broke the silence, “Have you eaten?”
Irma abruptly ended the call.
Thorne looked at his phone and chuckled.

Chapter 21
Jasmine, curious, asked, “What happened?”
Thorne casually put the phone away. “Your great–grandmother’s upset.”
“Did you upset her?”
“Yep.”
“Aren’t you going to make it up to her?”
“Can’t do that right now. Maybe later.”
“Alright then…”
Back at the office, Stewart saw her return but didn’t ask about the family event. He simply said, “You’re back? Had lunch yet?”
Charlene replied, “Not yet.”
“Come on, I’ll take you out to eat.”
Charlene smiled. “Sure.”
When they reached the restaurant, they ran into Mr. Palmer from the Henderson Group, who was there with his family.
Mr. Palmer sent his family off to the private room first. Then, turning to Stewart, he said, “I thought we’d get to work together again, but I guess that’s not happening…”
Stewart gave a sly smile. “I hear your company’s new project is doing quite well?”
“Yes, it’s pretty solid. Mr. Henderson’s direct involvement usually guarantees success.”
“Oh,” Stewart responded coolly. “I also heard the parts involving the Hawkins and Spencer families are quite significant. No issues from others in your company?”

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...
