Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 232
Chapter 232
Thorne set his glass of water down and said politely, “The pleasure is all mine to have a chess match with you, Quintin.”
Thorne walked over and took a seat across from Quintin. “Please, Quintin, guide me through this game,” he added.
Vesta and Granger, along with the others, gathered around to watch the game unfold.
Charlene and Stewart joined too, positioning themselves behind Quintin.
Now, Vesta and Granger were both familiar with chess.
Seeing Charlene so absorbed in the game, Granger approached. “Do you play chess?” he asked Charlene.
“A little,” Charlene replied modestly.
Stewart, standing nearby, muttered under his breath, “A little? More like a ton.”
But he said nothing more, perhaps because he wasn’t too familiar with her.
At first, both Quintin and Thorne’s strategies were quite nebulous.
Gradually, though, as they got a feel for each other’s style, Quintin leaned towards an aggressive strategy.
Thorne, on the other hand, focused on thwarting Quintin’s attacks while carving out new paths for himself.
At a glance, it seemed like Thorne was struggling.
In reality…

Stewart, who also knew a thing or two about chess, eventually asked Charlene, “Who do you think will win?”

“It’s hard to say,” Cha
Vesta and Moran, close enough to hear Charlene, thought her response was dodgy and unclear.
However, Stewart picked up on something else; he sensed that Charlene had more on her mind that she wasn’t sharing.
Charlene genuinely found it difficult to articulate her thoughts.
Because although Thorne appeared to be at a disadvantage often, he consistently found ways to bounce back. Or perhaps, he was cleverly setting traps, leading Quintin to follow his rhythm.
Overall, the game seemed evenly matched.
However…
When she said it was “hard to say,” it wasn’t because she was Thorne actually wanted to win.

As a younger player, he might choose to let Quintin take the victory.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Quintin chuckled and glanced at Thorne. “Young man from the Henderson family, even though my skills aren’t top–tier, you’re letting me off too easily. That won’t sit well with > me,” he teased.
Thorne chuckled back, “It’s been a while since I played; I’m a bit rusty.”
Quintin snorted with amusement, not buying the excuse.
Quintin was quite competent, though, and it took another ten minutes before Thorne managed to win by a

single piece.
Instead of being upset, Quintin felt invigorated, eager to test Thorne’s true abilities.
Thorne smiled and gestured for him to continue.
Quintin didn’t hold back and dove right into another round.
This time, Thorne’s attacks were more aggressive. Quintin glared playfully at him, and Thorne simply smiled, “Thanks for letting me win.”
Quintin was actually delighted, as it had been ages since he’d lost so enjoyably.
They started another game.
Before they began, Quintin asserted, “Show me your real skill; don’t treat me like some old fool.”
“Quintin, you’ve misunderstood me,” Thorne replied.
“Hmph,” Quintin huffed, diving into the game with focus.
And unsurprisingly, Quintin faced defeat once again.
He put down his pieces and stood up. “I concede, thoroughly impressed.”
Before Thorne could respond, Quintin turned to the others. “Anyone else want to try their luck? I’m not asking
you to beat him, just make him sweat a little, will you?”

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...
