Chapter 34
So, when Vesta had her birthday, Thome had Granger and the gang throw her a celebration. And for Vesta’s race, they all came to cheer
her on.
People were saying that Vesta had really clicked with Granger’s group. They had become so close that if Thorne wasn’t around, it still wasn’t a full get–together without Vesta. She had become like family to them.
Perhaps because of this, over the past few years, Granger and his friends started to give her the cold shoulder. Back then, Charlene had tried to get on good terms with Granger and the guys, but they wouldn’t give her the time of day.
No chance whatsoever. They were outright cold to her. Charlene had her pride, too. Since they had made their stance clear, she didn’t push it. But she’d still greet them politely if needed whenever they crossed paths.
Yet, more often than not, she’d be met with their indifference or even scorn. This time, Charlene decided she wouldn’t even bother speaking. She brushed past them, ready to leave.
But then Granger said, “Ms. Ross, you have an interest in racing?”
His tone was chilly.
Charlene picked up on his insinuation right away. He was suspecting she was here stalking Thorne.
She turned around, and her voice was icy. “What are you getting at?”
Granger wasn’t embarrassed that Charlene had guessed his thoughts. “I thought someone like you, Ms. Ross, wouldn’t seem to enjoy racing, so I was curious.”
“Someone like me?” Charlene looked him straight in the eye. “Mr. Harden, do we know each other well? Do you understand me well? Since you think know me so well, why don’t you enlighten me on what kind of person I am?”

To Granger, Charlene always seemed quiet, gentle, and timid. But he felt that was a facade. In reality, Charlene was cunning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done something so despicable to get Thorne back in the day. Afterward, she dared to play innocent, refusing to admit her actions.
Granger remained silent, staring at Charlene. He couldn’t be bothered to judge her. Nor did he care to.
However, how Charlene spoke to him was different from their past encounters. It was as if she had dropped all pretenses, no longer wanting to play the part.
But it wasn’t quite like that either because Charlene’s gaze was cold, sharp, clear, and tinged with sarcasm. It was almost as if she was mocking him for saying he had her all figured out, putting himself on moral high ground to judge her without knowing the story.
Charlene didn’t care what Granger thought. She turned around and walked away.
Claudia had rented an apartment near the school for Terence. When Charlene dropped him off near the school, it was eleven at night. Terence was still growing, and even though he had dinner, he was hungry again.
He said, “Charlene, there’s a place nearby that has great late–night snacks. My treat.”
Charlene hadn’t had dinner and was craving something warm to fill her stomach, so she agreed. No sooner had they sat down than Charlene’s stomach growled.
Terence paused, and then it dawned on him. “Charlene, you… haven’t had dinner?”
“Nope.”
Terence immediately felt guilty. “Sorry, Charlene. It’s all my fault.”
“It’s okay. I wasn’t hungry earlier.”
Terence saw Charlene’s gentle smile and had mixed feelings. He thought Charlene was great. But it was too bad his brother could’t see it that way.

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...
