Chapter 327
Charlene didn’t look back at Thorne as she turned and walked away.
Thorne took a step forward, trying to stop her, but was interrupted by the ringing of his phone.
He glanced at the caller ID, hesitating for a moment while watching Charlene’s silhouette disappear into her car. He then picked up the call.
Stewart had initially wanted to stop Thorne from approaching Charlene. But seeing Thorne give up so easily, he threw a disdainful look his way, let out a dismissive “huh,” and got in the car with Charlene.
Stewart hadn’t quite caught what Charlene and Thorne were talking about earlier. Once inside the car, he turned to her and asked, “What did he want?”
Charlene explained about Irma’s upcoming birthday celebration.
Stewart was genuinely surprised; he hadn’t heard about Irma’s birthday plans. The Ferguson and Henderson families weren’t particularly close, but given the grandeur of Irma’s party, the Fergusons would likely get an invite.
Stewart, who seldom visited his family’s estate, was not up to date on these matters. After listening to Charlene’s explanation, he agreed, saying, “You’re right not to go.”
He paused, frowning, “Hasn’t he already taken Vesta to Henderson Mansion to meet the family? He’ll probably bring her to Irma’s birthday too. So why ask you to go? Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t?”
Charlene had thought about it too. But she figured she and Thorne wouldn’t cross paths again. His business with Vesta was none of her concern. Though it seemed odd, she didn’t dwell on ‘it.
Stewart, after a moment, added, “Could it be that he brought Vesta home, but the family wasn’t thrilled with. her? Maybe he thinks since the old lady likes you, if you approve, they’ll accept Vesta and the two of them can be together?”
Charlene paused, then simply said, “Maybe.”
Stewart scoffed, “No wonder he’s come crawling back to you. He’s playing his cards well.”
He slipped his phone back into his pocket, smiling at Dalton. “Mr. Ramirez, got plans later? How about grabbing a bite together?”
Dalton immediately understood Thorne’s “uncle” referred to Vesta’s father, Henley. He knew Thorne was attentive to the Hawkins family, but he hadn’t realized just how in–the–know Thorne was.
Dalton replied nonchalantly, “Yes, there’s something to that effect.”
Thorne added, “I’m quite interested in this project. Would you mind sharing some details with me?”
Dalton quickly realized that Thorne’s interest wasn’t genuine. His concern was for the well–being of the Hawkins family, not the project itself.
Otherwise, Thorne would have asked directly about Dalton’s company instead of mentioning Henley first.
Would Dalton actually put the Hawkins family at risk?
Dalton gave a cold smile but chose not to voice it. Instead, he said casually, “I’m sorry, Mr. Henderson. The project is still under wraps, so I can’t discuss it in detail right now, I hope you understand.”

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...
