Chapter 220
Charlene and Dalton weren’t exactly sworn enemies. They just had a bit of a disagreement, and Charlene wasn’t one to back down when she knew she was right. But since Abelard had personally stepped in, she figured she could let it slide this time.
“Charlene, don’t rush your decision,” Abelard said gently over the phone. “Take your time, and let me know when you’re ready.”
“Alright,” Charlene replied.
“And about Dalton,” Abelard went on, “just go with what feels right to you. Don’t stress about owing me any favors.”
“I understand,” she assured him.
Abelard chuckled, appreciating her honesty. “Alright then, I won’t keep you any longer. Let’s catch up another time.”
“Sure thing. Goodbye.”
After hanging up, Charlene pondered for a moment before calling Kenton. It took him a good half hour to get
back to her.
“What’s up?” he asked.
Charlene clued him in on what was going on. Kenton quickly chimed in, “Abelard doesn’t just do favors for anyone. You might want to think this over.”
Charlene nodded at the phone, feeling reassured by Kenton’s perspective. “Got it. Thanks, Kenton.”
“Anytime.”
With that, Kenton ended the call. Charlene didn’t call Abelard back until the next morning. She figured Abelard knew she’d consult Kenton before making a decision.
When Charlene finally called back, Abelard’s voice was warm. “Thank you for getting back to me, Charlene.”
“No problem at all.”
After they hung up, Abelard sighed contently. His colleague noticed and chuckled, “Mr. Ramirez, what’s on your mind?”
Abelard settled into his chair. “Just thinking I wouldn’t mind having a daughter.”
“At our age? Don’t put your wife through that. You’ve got a son who’s old enough to start a family. You should be thinking about daughters–in–law instead.”
Abelard sighed again, “If only my son were a bit more proactive.”
Later that day, Dalton showed up at PrimeStar. Charlene had already briefed Stewart about Abelard’s
involvement.
When Dalton arrived, Stewart kept him waiting for over an hour before finally meeting with him. Dalton’s intent to work with their company was clear; his new proposal was even better than the last. But Stewart’s demeanor remained cool. “Looking forward to working together,” he said, shaking Dalton’s hand.
“Likewise,” Dalton replied. He wasn’t particularly fond of Charlene, but he had no issues with Stewart.
“How about dinner to discuss the details?” Dalton suggested. “Charlene will be joining us, right? Hope that’s not a problem.”
Dalton assumed Stewart’s willingness to collaborate was due to Abelard reaching out to Kenton, who then spoke to Stewart. He couldn’t care less about Charlene. Despite his personal feelings, he was willing to set them aside for the sake of business.

Chapter 22
“That’s fine by me, as long as Ms. Ross is okay with it,” Dalton replied.
Stewart nodded, sending someone to fetch Charlene. When she arrived, Dalton expected her to be upset or at least irritated. But Charlene was calm, extending her hand with a composed smile. “Looking forward to working 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...
