Chapter 231
After a while, Campbell waved goodbye to everyone and slipped into his private quarters down the hallway.
Following him were Charlene, Stewart, Thorne, Granger, the Hawkins family, and the Spencer family. With so many people heading inside, the presence of the Hawkins and Spencer families didn’t seem out of place at all. Once everyone was inside, they settled into the garden and along the long patio. The servants came around with coffee and a variety of pastries. Campbell and Helena found themselves deep in conversation, clearly enjoying each other’s company a great deal.
In addition to Helena, Campbell had two other friends who were quite adept at painting. As their conversation took a lively turn, the three of them decided to create a painting on the spot and invited Helena to join in.
Campbell then turned to York, “York, could you fetch the art supplies from my study?”
“Sure thing,” York replied.
After they finished their artwork, Campbell was full of praise for Helena’s piece. The conversation naturally drifted to art and painting.
Charlene and Stewart chose not to interrupt and instead enjoyed their coffee and treats on the patio. They sat at a considerable distance from the Hawkins and Spencer families, so much so that they didn’t even exchange glances. To anyone not in the know, it seemed as if they were complete strangers.
Meanwhile, Thorne was seated with Vesta, Granger, Moran, and Dalton. As peers within the same social circle, their gathering seemed perfectly ordinary.
Noticing Charlene and Stewart sitting separately, York leaned over to Dalton and whispered, “So, have Stewart and your group not made peace yet?”
York had heard they were collaborating, so it seemed odd that the atmosphere was still tense, much like at previous gatherings.
Dalton glanced at Stewart across the way, pondering for a moment before saying, “I think there’s still some friction between Stewart and Thorne.”
York was surprised; he hadn’t heard of any bad blood between them. He speculated it might have something to do with Charlene and Vesta but decided against delving into private matters further.
York, wanting to be a gracious host, chatted briefly with Thorne and his group before moving over to Stewart and Charlene. “We have more guests than expected today. I hope you’ll excuse any lapses in hospitality.”
Stewart responded warmly, “We came unannounced, Mr. Watson. There’s no need for formalities.”
Quintin, a friend of Campbell’s, wasn’t really into art but had come to support his friend. Noticing Campbell was engaged, he asked York to bring out the chessboard and tea set, hoping to find someone interested in playing a game with him.
York excused himself from Charlene and Stewart to attend to this.
Quintin sat down, idly picking up a handful of chess pieces, and looked over at his friend Lance. With a playful grin, Lance remarked, “I never win against you. You should find someone else.”
Quintin glanced around, “York seems busy today.”
“Indeed,” Lance nodded. With so many guests to attend to, it was hardly the time for York or Hickey to sit down > for a game.
“How about one of the younger folks?” Quintin suggested.
Quintin was familiar with Thorne, known for his sharp intellect amongst their circle. Casting his gaze towards Thorne, he called out, “Young Henderson, I hear you’re quite the chess player. How about a game today?”

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...
