Chapter 28
Since Jasmine got a phone, Charlene had made it a point to respect her privacy and never sneaked a peek at her messages. But when she glimpsed a message from Vesta, curiosity got the better of her, and she took a closer look.
And that was when she finally understood why Jasmine had been so irritable.
Charlene quickly scrolled through their chat history and saw that Jasmine had been sending Vesta good morning texts. They chatted every day, and their conversations went on for hours.
Hearing the elevator ding, Charlene acted like she hadn’t seen anything and placed the phone back where it belonged.
Picking up her phone, Jasmine saw a message from Vesta apologizing, saying she couldn’t bear to be mad at her and that she hadn’t replied earlier because she was still half asleep.
Reading Vesta’s message brought an immediate smile to Jasmine’s face.
Walking ahead, Charlene glanced back and instantly knew the reason behind Jasmine’s sudden happiness, though Jasmine was too absorbed in her joy to notice.
Once in the car, Jasmine sat in the back, happily texting Vesta. She occasionally peeked to see if Charlene was watching, but noticing her mom was busy driving, she relaxed.
However, since the school was quite far away, their conversation ended after half an hour.
By then, Jasmine was in a much better mood and started chatting with Charlene.
“Mom, are you free this afternoon?” Jasmine inquired.
Without turning around, Charlene responded, “What’s up?”
Jasmine playfully prodded, “Just asking.”
“I’ve been busy recently. Why do you ask?”
Still beaming, Jasmine said, “Oh, nothing much.”
Realizing her mom couldn’t pick her up after school meant she could meet Vesta without worrying about her mom finding out. Perfect! Upon arriving at school, Charlene talked briefly with Jasmine’s teacher before heading to Jasmine’s classroom.
As they approached the classroom, a sweet, childlike voice called, “Charlene!”
Startled, Charlene watched as a little figure crashed into her arms. Instinctively, she hugged the child tightly to prevent a fall. Recognizing the child, she exclaimed, “Sally?” It was the neighbor’s daughter, whom Charlene had saved from a dog attack.
“Yep!” With her cute pigtails and angelic smile, Sally looked incredibly adorable. Charlene couldn’t help but soften her tone. “Oh, Sally, you study here, too.”
Before she could finish, Jasmine pushed Sally away with force.
Charlene quickly caught Sally, asking, “Sally, are you okay?”
Sally nodded, her eyes welling up with tears, not understanding why Jasmine had pushed her. “Why… why would you push me?”
Initially unaware of Sally’s familiarity with Charlene, Jasmine frowned upon seeing their closeness. She scoffed at Sally’s tearful reaction, “So fragile and delicate! It’s pathetic and gross!”

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...
