Chapter 304
Dalton told York about what happened today.
York responded, “You know, my dad and grandpa have always thought highly of Charlene and her grandmother. Maybe that’s what this is all about.”
Dalton pondered Hickey’s interest in Charlene, finding it peculiar how attentive he seemed to be.
Even if Hickey had a favorable impression of Charlene, wasn’t it a bit of a stretch to develop such an opinion after just one meeting? But since York had mentioned it, Dalton chose not to delve any deeper.
The weather forecast had warned of rain this afternoon, perhaps even snow.
Sure enough, Charlene noticed the rain starting to fall before they had finished their meal.
After that, Hickey and the other officials joined Charlene and the business representatives for a detailed discussion about last year’s business performance and the plans for the upcoming year.
With words of gratitude for the contributions to Starfall City’s economic growth, Hickey and the officials wrapped up the meeting.
As the meeting concluded, Thorne and Charlene shook hands with Hickey and the other officials before preparing to leave.
While shaking hands, Hickey advised Charlene, “It’s really cold today. I heard there’s a thin layer of ice outside. Drive carefully.”
Charlene nodded, “I will, thank you, Mr. Watson.”
Charlene joined Thorne and the other business representatives as they made their way to the parking lot.
Thorne was walking beside her. “Those high heels aren’t the best for this weather. Be careful.”
Caught off guard by Thorne’s public concern, Charlene replied, “Thank you, Mr. Henderson. I’ll be careful.”
The situation reminded her of an incident at last year’s Future Tech Expo.
During a group dinner back then, she had accidentally slipped, and Thorne, wary of sparking any gossip, chose not to help her up.
And now-
Thorne’s comment was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was clear enough to be heard.
As he spoke, he was still chatting with the other businesspeople around them. His familiar tone with Charlene, especially since he initiated the conversation, was noticed by everyone nearby, including Dalton.
Several of these business representatives had also been at the tech expo dinner last year.
PrimeStar had risen to prominence late last year, and Charlene’s reputation had grown significantly within their
network.
Many people believed they understood her relationship with Stewart.
Of course, plenty of folks still remembered the “incident” at the tech expo dinner, where Charlene had supposedly “accidentally” slipped to attract Thorne’s attention, and how Thorne had remained unaffected.
But now…
If Thorne was merely being polite due to the partnership between Neural Nexus Tech and PrimeStar, he would have addressed her with a formal “Ms. Ross.” His casual concern seemed more like a personal interest.
So, had Thorne’s previously unyielding demeanor finally been swayed by Charlene?
Dalton hadn’t attended the Future Tech Expo last year. He wasn’t aware of the supposed “incident” between

Charlene and Thorne,
He only knew that if Thorne’s prior conversations with Charlene seemed like a figment of his imagination, what he heard now was undoubtedly real.
Dalton, too, felt that Thorne might be smitten by Charlene and was considering a public affair.
With these thoughts racing through his mind, Dalton’s expression turned cold as he watched Thorne and Charlene.
Charlene had brought an umbrella, knowing it would rain.
But the wind outside was biting, chilling her to the bone.
Although it was February, and she expected the snow in Starfall to be light and quick to melt, the icy roads were worse than she anticipated.
As she stepped out the door, the slippery steps made her cautious.
Those unfamiliar with Thorne hurried past her, while Thorne stayed by her side, not in a rush to leave.
The businesspeople familiar with Thorne exchanged knowing glances.
Dalton paused, about to speak.
Just then, Charlene slipped forward, and as she was about to fall, Thorne quickly wrapped an arm around her waist to steady her, lifting her before she even realized what was happening.

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...
