Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 235
Chapter 235
At that moment, Thorne spoke up, “Alright.”
Charlene sat down across from him, her demeanor calm and collected.
Vesta, after the initial surprise, quickly regained her composure. She greeted Campbell and the others before returning to stand by Thorne’s side.
The surprise wasn’t limited to just Granger, the Hawkins family, or the Spencer family. York and Campbell were also taken aback.
Even though Hickey had introduced Charlene to everyone earlier in the art gallery, neither York nor Campbell knew much about her.
They observed Charlene’s gentle and quiet demeanor, which didn’t strike them as someone who would seek the spotlight. They figured that even if she could play chess, she wouldn’t volunteer to do so in such a setting.
Quintin wasn’t familiar with Charlene, but she had certainly caught his eye. With her striking looks and her calm, polite demeanor, she struck him as someone from a respectable family. He even thought she would make the perfect granddaughter–in–law…
He was surprised to learn that Charlene could play chess as well.
Thorne looked at Charlene and said, “You go first?”
In chess, having the first move can be a significant advantage.
Charlene didn’t refuse and made the first move. Thorne followed suit.
At first, their moves were subtle and understated. They didn’t speak, and Charlene focused solely on the board, barely glancing at Thorne sitting across from her.
After a while, Campbell and Quintin noticed that Charlene’s strategy mirrored her personality–calm and steady. She attacked and defended without haste, clearly controlling the flow of the game rather than moving impulsively.
Realizing this, Campbell and Quintin were astonished. They had previously praised Vesta for her quick thinking and skillful play, but even then, she was led by Thorne throughout their game, who was clearly going easy on her.
That game had lasted quite a while, as Thorne’s laid–back approach gave it a playful, almost romantic feel. Despite this, Vesta was indeed among the best in her peer group in terms of adaptability and strategic thinking.
But now-
Thorne realized that Charlene wasn’t just going along with his tactics; instead, she was cleverly luring him into her own strategy. When he dialed back his aggressive approach, Charlene took advantage of the opening, skillfully blending defense with a robust offense. This strategic play forced Thorne to hesitate before making his next move.
He looked up at Charlene and gave a slight smile.
Quintin, impressed by Charlene’s tactics, couldn’t help but cheer, “Nicely done!”
Stewart raised an eyebrow, smiling.
Granger and York were taken aback. They realized that they had lost track of Charlene’s strategy quite some time ago.
In fact, they were initially deceived by her calm, defensive approach and failed to spot her hidden maneuvers. It was only now that they realized Charlene not only played chess but played exceptionally well.
Vesta, standing by Thorne, was also more focused on his side of the game. Like Granger and the others, she

had long lost track of Thorne’s strategy.
Initially, she thought Charlene would quickly be defeated. But as she observed Thorne’s increasingly serious expression, even more so than when he played against her, and noticed Campbell and the others watching the game intently, she finally realized that Charlene was truly skilled at chess–possibly even more skilled than herself.

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...
