Chapter 280
The person who brought him in chuckled, “Oh, absolutely. Director Hawkins is incredibly talented, and everyone on our team really likes her.”
Plus, the daily perks for their team were quite generous, thanks to the close ties between Director Hawkins and Mr. Henderson.
Of course, he didn’t say that out loud.
Jacques beamed with pride upon hearing someone praise his sister. He felt a warm sense of shared accomplishment. Still, he wasn’t planning to interrupt Vesta at work.
“Show me around the other parts of the office, will you?” he suggested.
“Sure thing.”
They stepped out, only to bump into Granger coming through the entrance.
The person accompanying Jacques quickly greeted Granger, “Mr. Harden.”
Granger nodded, his eyes briefly assessing Jacques. With his youthful face and student–like attire, Jacques didn’t really look like your typical corporate type, so Granger quickly figured out who he was.
He kept that to himself, though. Instead, the guide stepped in, saying, “This is Director Hawkins‘ brother, Jacques.”
Jacques had never met Granger before, but he certainly knew of him.
Upon hearing the name Mr. Harden, Jacques ventured a guess, “You’re Granger?”
Granger nodded, “Hello.”
Jacques grinned, “Hey there.”
Just as Jacques was about to say more, Granger’s attention shifted towards Charlene, who was engrossed in her work nearby. “Excuse me, I need to head over there,” he said, moving past them without waiting for a
response.
Jacques was momentarily taken aback. Weren’t his future brother–in–law’s friends supposed to be particularly friendly with his sister? Why did Granger seem a bit aloof?
Unconcerned with Jacques‘ thoughts, Granger made his way to Charlene’s side. “Ms. Ross,” he greeted.
Charlene turned, momentarily surprised to see him. “Mr. Harden,” she replied.
It was the end of the year, and Granger was busy. He hadn’t seen Charlene for about two weeks.
In fact, shortly after their last conversation, he had been discreetly summoned for a meeting by higher–ups.
But he didn’t mention any of that. Instead, he asked, “Will you be attending my company’s gala this weekend,
Ms. Ross?”
Charlene nodded and replied, “Yes, I will.”
Ever since he had offered to help her uncle, Charlene had noticed that Granger had been quite amiable towards
her.
After all, he had assisted her. Besides, they had been working well together recently, and he had personally sent her an invitation. Professionally and personally, she had no reason to decline.
Granger smiled at her response, “Thank you for honoring us with your presence.”
Charlene replied, “No need for such formalities.”
Sensing that she wasn’t keen on continuing their conversation further, Granger didn’t press. “I’ll let you get back

to work,” he said.
Charlene simply nodded and resumed her discussion with Quincy and the others.
Yet, Granger didn’t leave. He stood by, listening to their work talk, occasionally chiming in.
Both Granger and Moran held shares in Neural Nexus Tech, although they didn’t directly manage its operations. Still, they would attend the company’s annual meeting, which was the reason for Granger’s visit today.
A little while later, Vesta finished her meeting and spotted Jacques. “Have you toured the whole company yet?”
she asked.
Jacques nodded, “I have.”
Just then, Moran arrived.

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...
