Chapter 272
They had known about this for quite some time.
Yet when Leah mentioned it, Rhoda couldn’t help but laugh with genuine delight.
Vesta, on the other hand, remained engrossed in her book, her face betraying no emotion.
Maureen was much the same.
It seemed as though Charlene was no longer worth their concern.
Sensing Leah’s desire to continue, Maureen spoke calmly, “Leah, your cousin is studying. Let’s not disturb her.”
“Oh…”
Leah observed her cousin Vesta’s intense focus and remarked, “Didn’t the teacher arrive this morning? It’s past five in the evening now, and she’s still studying. Just watching her makes me feel tired. Aren’t you exhausted, cousin?”
Rhoda chimed in, “Of course, she’s tired. But your cousin is destined for great things. I’ve always told you to learn from her, but you never listen.”
Then, with a warm smile, she added, “But Vesta, while hard work is important, you should take a break. Why not come and grab a bite?”
Without lifting her head, Vesta replied, “No need, Thorne and I have dinner plans. I’ll just read a bit more before heading out.”
After finishing her game, Charlene spent over three hours revising her paper at the Ross family home. Once she was sure it was perfect, she sent it off to Kenton.
She stretched her arms, left her room, and headed downstairs, only to find her grandmother standing at the door in the chilly winter air, apparently waiting for someone.
Charlene frowned and hurried over, “Grandma, you-”
Before she could finish, the sound of a car pulling up interrupted her.
Just as she reached the door, she saw a vehicle drive into the courtyard. Jasmine quickly hopped out, running towards them, “Mom, Great–Grandma!”
“Ah!”
Helena’s eyes twinkled with joy as she bent down to embrace her.
Initially, Jasmine intended to run to Charlene, but seeing Helena’s open arms, she hugged her first.
Helena asked, “Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?”
“I just ate with Dad, so I’m not hungry,” Jasmine replied, stepping out of Helena’s embrace and tiptoeing over to Charlene, “Mom, carry me!”
Charlene bent down to pick her up, maintaining her smile even as the faint scent of perfume wafted from Jasmine.
This time, Thorne hadn’t personally brought Jasmine over.
Jasmine had left the car door open, so the driver stepped out to close it, nodding a greeting at Charlene and Helena before driving off.
With school the next day, Jasmine didn’t stay up long. After a bath, she was tucked into bed.
Charlene made sure she was snug under the covers, then picked up her phone and sent Thorne a message.

Chapter 24
[Have the driver pick Minnie up tomorrow afternoon. And don’t just drop her off without a heads–up next time.]
Whether he hadn’t seen it or was simply busy, Thorne didn’t respond that night.
The following day, after dropping Jasmine at school and returning to the office, Charlene finally received a message from Thorne.
[Okay.]
Charlene read the message, set her phone down, and got back to work.
After two days of hard work, the weekend arrived.
On Monday morning, Charlene received a response from Kenton: [Looks good, you can submit it.]
It had been a while since Charlene and Stewart had last seen Kenton.

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...
