Chapter 321
Over the next few days, Charlene found some time to attend a couple of networking events.
She ran into Vesta twice during these occasions.
However, Thorne wasn’t there to accompany Vesta either time.
March had brought with it a lot of rain.
After one such event, Charlene stepped outside to find it pouring.
She had an umbrella but had left it in her car. She headed towards the main entrance, planning to wait for the rain to ease up a bit before making her way out.
Before she even reached the door, she spotted Vesta, who was chatting with someone. Vesta’s smile faded slightly when she saw Charlene.
Just then, Thorne appeared in Charlene’s line of sight, holding an umbrella. He had clearly come to pick up
Vesta.
He took off his overcoat and draped it over Vesta’s shoulders.
The people waiting out the rain looked on with envy, and a few even let out little exclamations of admiration.
It was then that Thorne noticed Charlene, hesitating for a moment.
Charlene kept her face straight.
Thorne looked away, opened his umbrella again, and left with Vesta.
The wind was quite blustery that day, but with Thorne’s coat shielding her, Vesta wouldn’t get wet, even if some raindrops made their way under the umbrella.
Thorne’s gesture was thoughtful, to say the least.
In a short while, they disappeared out of the entrance.
A little later, Thorne’s driver approached Charlene from the parking lot, holding out an umbrella. “Ma’am, Mr. Henderson asked me to bring you this.”
Charlene didn’t take it. “No need; you can take it back.”
Previously, Irma had mentioned that for Jasmine’s sake, Thorne had agreed to be cordial with her.
He had shown concern at the last meeting and now was sending an umbrella in front of Vesta…
Vesta must have enough confidence in her relationship with Thorne to allow him to send her an umbrella. She understood that Thorne had no feelings for Charlene and was just being polite because of Jasmine.
The driver hesitated. “But…”
Charlene insisted, “He won’t mind. You can go.”
The driver, seeing her firm stance, turned back with the umbrella. And indeed, the driver didn’t return.
But the rain showed no sign of letting up.
Charlene checked the time, debating whether to keep waiting or to brave the rain-
Just then, a familiar voice broke through her thoughts. “Come on, I’ll give you a ride.”
It was Granger.
It was getting dark, and who knew how long the rain would last?
Charlene didn’t refuse, “Thank you.”
Chapter 32
Granger started to take off his jacket, seemingly intending to offer it to her. Charlene quickly said, “No need, I have spare clothes in the car. If I get wet, I can change.”
Granger paused, not insisting further, but as they walked out, he positioned himself to block the wind from her. As they descended the steps together, Charlene asked, “Mr. Harden, are you here for the event too?”
He wasn’t.
Granger had heard from Moranthat she’d attended these events recently.
They hadn’t worked together much lately, and realizing he missed seeing her, he decided to drop by.
Seeing the slight redness in her ears from the cold, he simply responded, “Yeah,” then added, “Got time for dinner later?”
Granger had helped her out, and they would be working together again soon, so having dinner didn’t seem like a big deal.
Charlene agreed, “Sure.”

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...
