Chapter 302
After work, Charlene and Stewart arrived at Kenton’s villa just as Kenton was frowning into his phone, deep in conversation.
Seeing them, he ended the call, sat down, and said, “I’ve gone through your latest research. There are a few folks interested in meeting you. I’ll introduce you when the opportunity arises.”
Charlene nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Her research had been earmarked for a national project. Kenton continued discussing the related matters with
her.
Later, Charlene and Stewart sought Kenton’s advice on a few issues. It wasn’t until late into the night that they finally left.
The next morning at the office, Charlene was going through resumes that the company’s HR had pre–screened for the tech department.
She paused suddenly as she scanned through them.
Stewart, who was nearby, noticed her change in expression and asked, “What’s up?”
“Vesta’s resume,” Charlene replied.
Stewart raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “She actually applied again? Talk about persistence.”
Charlene said nothing and promptly passed on Vesta’s resume.
That afternoon, Stewart was due to travel out of state for a business trip. He mentioned, “The roundtable in two days is all yours.”
Charlene assured him, “No problem.”
The roundtable Stewart referred to was a government–business discussion organized by the city council.
Only about thirty companies received an invitation to this event. Charlene, representing PrimeStar, arrived at the venue and encountered a familiar face as she stepped out of the car.
She paused briefly, then refocused and walked up the steps into the hall.
Dalton watched Charlene’s retreating figure, about to follow when someone called his name, “Mr. Ramirez.”
Dalton turned to see who it was. “Mr. Henderson.”
Thorne greeted him. “It’s been a while.”
Dalton agreed, “Indeed.”
They exchanged pleasantries as they made their way upstairs to the conference room.
Inside, each seat had a nameplate representing a company.
Charlene was already seated at hers when they entered.
Both Thorne and Dalton noticed her presence.
As Dalton observed her, he also realized Thorne’s company nameplate was right next to Charlene’s.
Thorne appeared unfazed.
The conference table was long and rectangular, with Dalton seated directly across from Charlene and Thorne.
Dalton smiled at him and nodded, then turned to take his seat next to Charlene.
Charlene was absorbed in her phone and made no move to greet him.
Thorne leaned slightly towards her, saying, “You seem to have lost weight. Busy these days?”

Charlene knew he was speaking to her but didn’t respond, eyes fixed on the documents in her hands.
Just then, someone came up to greet Thorne, who stood up to make small talk.
Soon, the room filled, and Hickey Watson, along with other officials, entered the conference room.
Seeing Charlene and Thorne, Hickey paused.
Like Abelard Ramirez, he hadn’t known who Charlene’s husband was until Abelard mentioned it after a recent lunch meeting–Charlene was married to Thorne.
Now, witnessing their distant demeanor, seemingly more unfamiliar than married, Hickey looked away.
The roundtable officially began.
Charlene and Thorne kept to themselves, only speaking when it was their turn to address the meeting.

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...
