Chapter 279
Negotiations with Teague went off without a hitch.
Two days later, both parties had signed the contract. Teague had other commitments and left PrimeStar.
After a long day, Charlene and Stewart headed back to the conference room, picked up some drinks, and took a moment to relax. Just then, Chester walked in and dumped a thick stack of invitations on the table. “Here are the invitations for the end–of–year parties we’ve gotten over the last few days,” he announced.
There were at least twenty or thirty invitations stacked up.
Invitations from Dalton, Granger, The Henderson Group, and Neural Nexus Tech were among them.
Charlene and Stewart sifted through the pile and noticed that the Hawkins family had also sent an invitation.
What caught their attention was that the invitation from the Hawkins family was addressed to both Stewart and Charlene.
Leaning casually against the conference table, Stewart held the Hawkins family invitation, chuckling. “Seems like our company has quite the charm.”
It wasn’t so much the charm of their company as it was the allure of their latest two projects and CUAP that had the Hawkins family hooked.
So much so that the Hawkins family was willing to humble themselves by including Charlene’s name on the
invitation.
Little did they know, the coveted technology at PrimeStar wasn’t Stewart’s doing at all…
With that thought, a sly smile deepened in Stewart’s eyes.
In fact, it wasn’t just the Hawkins family. The Ramirez Group, Neural Nexus Tech, and The Henderson Group all had the foresight to include Charlene’s name on their invitations as well.
Only Granger was different.
They sent two separate invitations, one for each of them.
Stewart glanced at them and said with a click of his tongue, “Granger’s got it right.”
The last time Charlene met Granger was the morning he asked if she was a student of her famous mentor.
Hearing Stewart’s comment, Charlene remained silent.
Looking at the invitations, Stewart suggested, “Let’s skip The Ramirez Group, Neural Nexus Tech, The Henderson Group, and the Hawkins family. We’ll only attend the parties of companies like The Harden Group, where our collaborations have been pleasant.”
As for The Ramirez Group and others, a simple gift would suffice to keep up appearances.
And as for The Henderson Group, Neural Nexus Tech, and the Hawkins family, they didn’t even warrant that. Cutting off ties would be best!
“Agreed.”
Charlene was on the same page.
She and Stewart were not only managing the core affairs of the company but also dedicating most of their energy to going through the materials their mentor had recently provided. So, apart from necessary engagements, they had no desire to waste time mingling with unnecessary folks.
PrimeStar was preparing its own party as well.
But given how busy they were, the invitations would have to wait a couple more days before going out.

Chapter
With the year–end approaching, it was crucial to follow up on business with Neural Nexus Tech before the holidays.
The next day, Charlene, along with Patton and a few others, headed to Neural Nexus Tech.
Upon arriving, Charlene ran into Vesta.
They exchanged no glances, each absorbed in their own tasks.
While busy, Charlene felt someone’s gaze on her. Looking up, she found it was Jacques.
Once she saw him, she quickly returned to her work.
Jacques had been in Starfall for three or four days.
After exploring for a couple of days, he found staying home boring and, learning that his sister was working at his future brother–in–law’s company, decided to drop by out of curiosity.
He didn’t expect to see Charlene as soon as he walked into Neural Nexus Tech.
He assumed Charlene was an employee there.
Seeing her glance at him briefly before returning to her work, he curiously asked the person who brought him in, “What are they busy with?”
The person replied, “Different department, so I’m not sure, but it’s probably something to do with the language system maintenance.”
“Oh…”
Jacques was tempted to take a closer look, but seeing how busy Charlene seemed, he didn’t want to intrude. Instead, he asked, “Where’s my sister?”
The person smiled and said, “Director Hawkins is in a meeting. Would you like to go in and see her?”
Jacques followed them to the meeting room.
A moment later, he noticed everyone inside was intently focused on his sister as she discussed work–related topics.
He remarked, “Everyone seems to really respect my sister.”

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...
