Chapter 298
Jasmine, ever the polite and unflustered young lady, said, “Thank you, Mr. Ramirez.”
“Don’t mention it,” Abelard replied, glancing at Jasmine a bit more thoughtfully. With a smile, he added, “She’s more like Thorne, isn’t she?”
Charlene nodded, “That’s right.”
Abelard chuckled, “Whether she takes after Thorne or you, she’s going to be just fine.”
Charlene listened, her eyes lowering in a gentle smile, choosing not to reply.
Abelard continued, “So, has my troublesome son made peace with you yet?”
Charlene shook her head with a slight grin, “If anything, the tension’s gotten worse.”
Abelard laughed, “Well, that’s just dandy.”
He seemed entirely unfazed, saying, “He’s had it too easy for too long. A little lesson won’t hurt him; in fact, I’m looking forward to it.”
After that, Abelard and Charlene chatted about other topics.
Once dinner was over, Charlene and Abelard spent another hour or so in conversation before parting ways.
After taking Jasmine to see a movie and meeting up with Abelard, Charlene spent most of the following days at home, diving into the materials Kenton had given her.
While Charlene was engrossed in her research, Jasmine behaved well, only occasionally stepping out with Carl and his friends, but mostly keeping herself occupied in her room.
However, Jasmine made sure to video call Thorne every day.
Whenever Jasmine called Thorne, Vesta was often present.
It wasn’t that Charlene was intentionally eavesdropping on their conversations; it was more that Jasmine, aware of Charlene’s dislike for Vesta, would take her tablet outside to chat, rather than staying in her room.
After a few intense days of focused work, Charlene finally had a breakthrough.
It was the first time since receiving Kenton’s materials that she felt her ideas were so clear.
That day, she worked tirelessly from morning until night, so absorbed that she didn’t even respond when her family called her for lunch.
Seeing how busy she was, Maisie brought her meals upstairs.
Noticing the food getting cold and Charlene still not having eaten, Jasmine urged her, “Mom, you should eat.”
Charlene murmured an absent–minded “Mmm,” her eyes glued to the computer screen, seemingly unaware of
her own response.
Jasmine pursed her lips, calling out to Charlene a few more times before she finally got her to eat.
Dinner was much the same.
Charlene was so engrossed she didn’t even have time for meals. Jasmine had initially wanted Charlene to help her with her bath, but after calling out several times with no success, she went downstairs and asked Nadine for help.
After her bath, she returned to find Charlene still at her computer, so Jasmine climbed into bed by herself.
She drifted off, waking up to the morning light filtering through. Groggy, she wandered over to Charlene with her stuffed animal in tow, “Mom, did you not sleep at all?”
Charlene replied absent–mindedly, “No, you go back to sleep. Don’t worry about me.”

Jasmine paused, clearly awake now. “Mom, aren’t you tired from not sleeping?”
Charlene simply replied, “No.”
Seeing Charlene frown, as if annoyed by the interruption, Jasmine thought about asking if she was hungry but
decided against it. She quietly went to brush her teeth instead.

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...
