Chapter 312
Across town, in the private dining room of a cozy bistro, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Geoffrey, a well–regarded figure in the business world, leaned back in his chair, a friendly smile gracing his face. “We’ve come across many talented individuals, but Charlene, it’s quite rare to see someone as young as you achieving such remarkable success. Darius and I were eager to meet you and I hope our invitation hasn’t been
too much trouble.”
Charlene, a young woman with a promising future, responded with a respectful nod. “Not at all, Mr. Geoffrey. It’s truly an honor to meet you.”
Darius chuckled, giving Geoffrey a playful nudge. “Alright, don’t go scaring the young lady now.”
Both Geoffrey and Darius had been impressed by Charlene’s potential. Her achievements had caught their attention, and they were keen to get to know her better. With Hickey and Abelard there as well, the conversation flowed easily, making for a pleasant evening.
After a leisurely dinner, they spent another hour exchanging ideas and stories. By the end of the night, Charlene had exchanged contact details with Geoffrey and Darius, marking the beginning of promising connections.
Meanwhile, Monday marked the start of the new school term at Starfall Academy for middle and elementary students. Nadine Ross, Charlene’s younger cousin, was starting her term as a boarding student. With her aunt tied up with family matters and her uncle Vernon Ross busy with work, Charlene took it upon herself to drop Nadine off at school on Sunday afternoon.
When Charlene arrived, she saw the Hawkins and the Spencers, along with three staff members handling a huge amount of luggage. It seemed that Jacques was also enrolling at Starfall Academy.
Getting a transfer to Starfall Academy wasn’t easy without the right connections, and it was clear that Thorne Hawkins had pulled some strings. The entire Hawkins family had turned up to see Jacques off, a testament to how much they cherished him.
Jacques, with his carefree demeanor and sunny disposition, was clearly a product of a loving and indulgent upbringing. Watching Katie Hawkins doting on him, Charlene couldn’t help but recall the time Katie had assured her she would always be her favorite granddaughter. The memory, though distant, still felt ironic to
Charlene.
Just then, the Hawkins and Spencer families noticed Charlene. Their smiles dampened slightly upon seeing
her.
As they stood there, a passerby gaped at the Hawkins family’s luggage. “Wow, that suitcase there costs over thirty grand! I guess there really are people who buy them. Must be nice to be rich,” the onlooker remarked. Realizing they were overheard, they quickly apologized and scurried off with their friends.
Charlene had already taken note of the lavishness. The luggage wasn’t merely expensive–it was extravagant.
Each bag and suitcase, made of the finest leather, was worth thousands. Jacques‘ luggage alone was worth a small fortune, and Maureen’s handbag was a six–figure limited edition.
Katie and Leah glanced over at Charlene. Noticing Nadine’s modest luggage, which was only half of what Jacques had, and seeing her bags were simple and inexpensive, Katie’s gaze turned indifferent, while Leah let out a dismissive snicker.
In the eyes of the Hawkins and Spencer families, the Ross family’s business, although recovering, was still struggling to turn a profit. Moreover, there were rumors that Charlene’s connection with Stewart wasn’t as solid as it seemed. To them, the Ross family was no longer in the same league.

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...
