Quintin chuckled, “Not bad at all.”
Then he asked, “Why aren’t you busy with your painting?”
“I’m just here to make sure you feel well taken care of, didn’t want you thinking I was neglecting you.”
“Go on, get back to your work, and stop interrupting my chess game.”
But Campbell didn’t budge.
The Hawkins and Spencer families lit up with smiles when they heard Quintin and Campbell praising Vesta.
Everyone around was well aware of Vesta.
She was a figure who inspired both admiration and envy.
After all, Vesta had it all–beauty, brains, and now, thanks to her chess skills, she had caught the attention of both Campbell and Quintin.
Not to mention, Vesta’s charm had won Thorne’s affection, elevating the Spencer and Hawkins families in the social ladder.
Who wouldn’t want a daughter like that?
Someone couldn’t help but express their envy to the Hawkins and Spencer families, “Katie, Mr. Hawkins, Mrs. Hawkins, you really have a wonderful granddaughter and daughter.”
“Absolutely,” others chimed in, eager to know, “How do you raise such an outstanding child? We’re all friends here, Mrs. Hawkins, could you share some of your secrets with us?”
The Hawkins and Spencer families were soon surrounded by several society ladies.
With so many people praising and envying Vesta, Rhoda couldn’t help but feel proud too.
She glanced over at Charlene, who was standing nearby, and with a smug smile, she whispered to Maureen, “Compared to Vesta, she really has to take a backseat.”
Maureen’s expression turned frosty, clearly displeased by the comparison between her daughter and Charlene.
Katie and Henley also overheard Rhoda’s comment. They glanced over at Charlene.
Indeed, Vesta seemed to outshine Charlene in every way.
With that thought, they turned their attention back to Vesta, their eyes filled with warmth and gentle smiles.
Just then, Vesta stood up and said to Quintin, “Sorry, I lost.”
Quintin gave a kind smile and replied, “Even if you lost, you did very well. After all, not everyone is like Thorne. You’re already a remarkable young person with both academic and chess skills.”
Vesta smiled at the compliment, “You’re too kind.”
Quintin asked, “Want to play another?”
Vesta shook her head with a smile, “Once is enough for me, let someone else have a turn.”
With that, Quintin asked, “Anyone else want to give it a go?”
Silence fell over the room.
Granger glanced at Thorne and noticed him holding a chess piece, looking back at him.
Just then, Charlene stepped forward, looking at Thorne and asking, “How about a game with me?”
Thorne paused, chess piece in hand, and lifted his gaze to her.

Chapter 23
Granger looked away, taken aback by Charlene’s bold move. He truly hadn’t expected Charlene to step up and challenge Thorne in such a public setting.
Even more surprised than Granger were the Hawkins and Spencer families, including Vesta.
Like Granger, she hadn’t anticipated Charlene making such a bold request.
Because she assumed that with Charlene’s personality, even if she wanted to play chess with Thorne, she wouldn’t dare to ask so openly.
Who would’ve thought-
Members of the Hawkins and Spencer families frowned.
Laverne Hawkins muttered, “If I had known she’d pull a stunt like this, I would have warned her earlier.”

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...
