Chapter 308
On her way to Neural Nexus Tech, Charlene received a call from her grandmother, Irma Henderson.
Charlene picked up, “Hey, Grandma.”
“Hello, dear,” Irma’s voice was warm and comforting. “I heard from Minnie the other day that you’ve been working late and even pulling all–nighters. I got some health supplements delivered recently, and I’ve sent some your way. Make sure you have someone cook them up for you, okay?”
Charlene knew that even if she tried to decline, Irma wouldn’t take no for an answer. So she replied, “I will, thank you, Grandma.”
Irma chuckled softly and seemed to remember something. “Oh, by the way, I had a chat with Thorne recently. He promised to get along better with you. After all, you are both Minnie’s parents, and for her well–being, it’s important that you maintain a good relationship.”
So, that’s why Thorne was unusually considerate during the last meeting? Charlene thought.
“Got it,” Charlene replied calmly.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Charlene ended the call with Irma.
Upon arriving at Neural Nexus Tech, Charlene noticed that Vesta was absent.
Quincy spotted her and grinned, “Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day. Did you get any flowers, Ms. Ross?”
Before Charlene could answer, a PrimeStar employee who had come along with her to Neural Nexus Tech chimed in with a laugh, “Oh, she did! A huge bouquet of roses. We were all so jealous!”
Quincy smiled but didn’t get a chance to respond before Leah Spencer appeared out of nowhere. “Just flowers? Nothing else?”
The PrimeStar employee hesitated, “Well…uh…”
“So it’s just flowers, huh?” Leah scoffed. “You guys are hilarious. It’s just a bunch of roses. What’s there to be envious about? My cousin got a whole lot more this morning. Her fiancé even gifted her shares from Neural Nexus Tech. What did she say to that?”
Quincy was momentarily speechless. Well, that was hard to argue with.
But did it really need to be a competition?
Noticing Charlene might be out of the loop, Quincy leaned over and whispered to her, “Word is, Director Hawkins is quite the catch among the elite circles–many rich heirs dream of her. Although with our Mr. Henderson as her boyfriend, most don’t dare make a move. But today being Valentine’s Day, some couldn’t resist and anonymously sent her flowers and gifts. Her office was nearly overflowing.”
Before Charlene could say anything, Quincy continued, “But Mr. Henderson didn’t become her beau for nothing. I heard he gave Director Hawkins a portion of our company’s shares as a gift!”
“Treating a girlfriend like that, it’s something none of us have seen before. When the news broke this morning, everyone in the company was green with envy!”
Charlene thought back to how casually Vesta had access to company secrets, and how Jacques and Leah could come and go from Neural Nexus Tech as they pleased. If one day Neural Nexus Tech changed its name to The Hawkins Group, she wouldn’t be surprised.
Hearing Quincy’s gossip, Charlene was hardly shocked. Thorne gifting Vesta shares on Valentine’s Day showed he wasn’t just generous but also wanted the gesture to be meaningful and memorable. It was clear he truly
cared for Vesta.
“What are you all chatting about?” Vesta’s voice suddenly entered the conversation.
Quincy quickly smiled and said, “Director Hawkins, finished with the meeting?”

Vesta nodded, “Yes.”
Today, Neural Nexus Tech’s top brass was holding an important 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...
