Chapter 219
Kelvin leaned back in his chair, considering York’s suggestion. “Why don’t you try talking to Stewart? You two have a bit of a rapport, right?”
York shrugged, uncertain. “I could, but I doubt Stewart would listen.”
From the moment Charlene agreed to swap dance partners at the gala, York had sensed that her relationship with Stewart was more complicated than it seemed. They weren’t dating, that much was clear, but Stewart definitely had a soft spot for her.
York doubted that even if he managed to smooth things over between Dalton and Stewart, it would lead to Stewart agreeing to collaborate with Dalton.
Kelvin sighed, “So, I guess we need to approach Ms. Ross instead? We barely know anything about her. Should we dig up some info?”
Dalton shook his head. “Nah, it’s not worth the effort. I’ll just reach out to my father later.”
York immediately caught on. “You mean Mr. Wagner?”
“Exactly.”
Stewart was one of Kenton’s mentees, and Dalton was sure that if Kenton had a word with him, Stewart would come around.
Determined to act on his plan, after a hearty meal of burgers and fries, Dalton was on his way home when he decided to call Abelard. But to his surprise, Abelard beat him to it with a call, getting straight to the point, “How’s the deal with PrimeStar going?”
Dalton hesitated, then admitted, “Not great. I was actually hoping to get your help.”
“Why’s that?”
Dalton explained, “I managed to annoy one of PrimeStar’s techies, and Stewart’s got a thing for her-”
Abelard interrupted, “What’s the techie’s name?”
Caught off guard, Dalton replied instinctively, “Charlene.”
There was a pause, followed by a chuckle from Abelard. “You’ve really outdone yourself, Dalton. Messing with a key player before the deal is even inked.”
Dalton was about to argue that Charlene wasn’t as crucial as Abelard seemed to think, just someone with a special connection to Stewart. But Abelard didn’t give him the chance.
“I’ll handle this for you,” Abelard said.
Dalton couldn’t help but grin, “Thanks, Pops!”
“…You shameless brat.”
Dalton didn’t feel bad about pulling his dad into the situation. He believed he could land the PrimeStar project on his own merits. To him, personal grudges were just small irritations. If he could get past them quickly, why wouldn’t he?
“I was planning on taking a vacation soon, but now I think I’ll pass. Seeing you might just shorten my lifespan,” Abelard quipped before abruptly ending the call.
The matter of Charlene was something he chose to leave unspoken. After all, having everything too easy in life wasn’t always a blessing.
After hanging up, Abelard dialed Charlene’s number. She glanced away from her computer screen at the ringing phone, recognizing his caller ID. Her eyes flickered with curiosity as she answered, “Mr. Ramirez.”
Abelard chuckled warmly and said, “You’re always on the ball, Charlene. I’m guessing you know why I’m

calling.”
Charlene nodded and replied, “Yeah, I’ve got a pretty good idea.”
Despite her intuition, Abelard went ahead and asked, “Would you consider proceeding with the collaboration with Dalton? Just think of it as doing your uncle a favor, okay?”
In business, practicality often overruled personal grievances. As long as both parties were sincere about the partnership, even rivals could find a way to work 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...
