Chapter 336
Padgett paused, clearly incredulous. “Walking away with nothing? Are you sure about that?”
Thorne was being pretty generous, offering her a fortune so vast that she could live lavishly for the rest of her life and still not spend it all.
Padgett couldn’t quite wrap his head around why she would want to give up such easy money.
Charlene replied, “I’m sure, but I have one condition.”
She never really planned on taking his money. Even if she turned it down, she wouldn’t feel like she was missing out.
But…
When Irma had that fall and ended up in the hospital, Thorne, in his gratitude for Charlene visiting Irma, not only handed her a check for twenty million dollars but also gifted her three townhouses in the community where Helena lived.
Although Thorne had given her those townhouses later on, they were still included in the divorce settlement.
So, even though the deeds for the townhouses were in her name, and she technically owned them, as long as the divorce papers weren’t finalized, the properties didn’t truly belong to her.
If she walked away with nothing, she wouldn’t get those townhouses.
And if she didn’t secure those townhouses, after the divorce, Thorne might just hand them over to the Hawkins family or the Spencer family.
And knowing the Spencer family’s reputation, if they got those townhouses, they’d likely move right into her grandmother’s neighborhood and make her life a living hell…
With that thought in mind, she told Padgett, “I just want those three townhouses. I don’t need him to give them to me. I can pay for them.”
Over the past couple of months, she’d earned a significant amount of money, enough to afford the townhouses.
Padgett understood Charlene’s stance.
Even though it seemed like a raw deal to him, she was firm in her decision, and he didn’t try to persuade her otherwise.
Charlene sighed, rubbing her temples. She wasn’t in the mood for his banter.
“Let’s do it next week,” she said. “Monday, we’ll go.”
“That won’t work.” Thorne’s voice carried a hint of exasperation, “Grandma’s so fond of you, she’s worried I might take advantage of you. When she found out about the divorce, she made me sign an agreement. If we alter the settlement without informing her, she has the right to claim half of my assets.”
Charlene stopped in her tracks. “When did this happen?”
“Over Christmas.”
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
He chuckled. “I never thought you’d want to change the agreement.”

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...
