Chapter 229
“Granger.” Leah called out sweetly as soon as she saw Granger return.
Granger nodded coolly in response.
Seeing Thorne looking around, Maureen mentioned, “Vesta just got a call and stepped outside to take it.”
“Alright, got it,” Thorne replied.
Just then, a stir broke out among the nearby crowd.
It seemed Campbell had emerged from the room, accompanied by members of the Watson family, including Hickey, York, and others.
The place was packed, and once everyone settled down, Campbell began speaking, expressing his gratitude to everyone who had come.
Charlene and Stewart stood further back in the crowd, but Hickey noticed them nonetheless.
Stewart was there to present a gift on behalf of the Ferguson family patriarch, which York had already informed them about. However, Hickey hadn’t expected Charlene to be there as well.
Seeing Charlene, Hickey nodded and smiled at her.
Charlene, unaware of the connection between Hickey and Campbell, returned the smile politely.
Although the folks from the Hawkins and Spencer families saw Hickey greeting someone, they couldn’t quite tell who it was.
Once Campbell finished his speech, the room erupted in applause. Soon, guests started approaching Campbell to discuss his artwork, while others greeted Hickey and his group.
With so many attendees, it took a while before Granger and Thorne made their way over to speak with Campbell.
Accepting their gift, Campbell said, “That’s very thoughtful of you.”
His gaze shifted among Thorne, Granger, and Dalton, and he chuckled, “It’s been a few years, but you young folks are looking sharper than ever. Well done.”
As Campbell chatted with Thorne and his friends, Hickey worked his way through the crowd, greeting other guests and gradually making his way toward Charlene and Stewart.
Upon reaching them, Stewart was the first to greet him.
After exchanging pleasantries with Stewart, Hickey turned to Charlene and said, “Charlene, we meet again.”
“Hello, Hickey,” Charlene replied with a smile.
Hickey broke into a grin and, once he learned who Helena was, he greeted her politely.
Hearing Charlene mention Helena’s admiration for his father’s paintings, Hickey said, “If you don’t mind, Mrs. Ross, I’d love for you to come inside and take a closer look. Despite the crowd, true appreciators of my father’s art are rare, so knowing there’s someone like you who truly understands would surely make him very happy.”
Though Hickey had deliberately come over to speak with Charlene, to others, it appeared as though he was simply making the rounds and happened to reach Stewart.
Everyone assumed Hickey was showing respect to the Ferguson family by speaking with Charlene.
Meanwhile, as Thorne was chatting with Mr. Campbell, his phone rang. Apologizing, he stepped away to take
the call.
After some time, Vesta returned from her call. With her striking appearance and demeanor, she stood out as she joined Dalton and Granger. Campbell noticed her at once.

Chapter 22
Thinking she might be Granger or Dalton’s girlfriend, Campbell was just about to ask when Dalton, noticing Granger hadn’t made the introductions, stepped in and said, “Campbell, this is Vesta. She’s Mr. Henderson’s girlfriend.”
“So, you’re Thorne’s girlfriend,” Campbell chuckled, “A fine match, indeed.”

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...
