Granger still didn't pay any attention.
Just then, someone happened to come over and greet him.
The newcomer also knew Charlene and Stewart.
The four of them started chatting.
Leah was left standing awkwardly on the sidelines, feeling increasingly embarrassed until she had no choice but to make her exit.
Meanwhile, across the room, Moran looked over at Granger and said, "Granger seems to be hitting it off more and more with them." By "them," it was clear Moran meant Charlene and Stewart.
Vesta nodded in agreement.
After all, if Granger and Stewart were merely business partners, a quick hello and some polite small talk would have sufficed at such an event.
But here Granger was, engrossed in conversation with Stewart and Charlene, suggesting they were on the brink of friendship.
To Vesta, it made sense that Granger would befriend Stewart, as Stewart was certainly the kind of person worth getting to know.
Charlene was just a part of the package.
Thorne glanced over at Charlene and Stewart but didn't seem too fazed.
Vesta turned her gaze away from them and happened to notice Gaylord Hearst make his entrance into the banquet hall.
Thorne followed her gaze and spotted Gaylord too.
Dressed formally, Gaylord looked even more striking and aloof than usual.
When Gaylord noticed Vesta and Thorne, he briefly met Vesta's eyes before turning away to join his friends, entering the hall from the side.
Vesta watched him go, sighing with a helpless smile. "I guess he's still mad at me for tipping off his family about his whereabouts. He hasn't been taking my calls, and now he's ignoring me even in person."
Thorne remarked, "Mr. Hearst is still young. It's only natural for him to be a bit hot-headed."
Vesta couldn't disagree.
Unaware of what Vesta and Thorne thought, Gaylord had just stepped into the room and was about to greet the host when he caught sight of Charlene and Stewart.
His grip on his wine glass tightened momentarily.
Stewart introduced him, "This is Mr. Hearst."
He briefly explained Gaylord's background and then introduced Granger, "This is Mr. Harden."
Granger recalled hearing about the Hearst family from Starfall City before. After Stewart's introduction, he greeted Gaylord, "Mr. Hearst."
After exchanging pleasantries, the group began to chat.
Throughout the conversation, Gaylord's gaze frequently drifted back to Charlene.
Moreover, the way he looked at Charlene—
Noticing this, Granger's grip on his wine glass tightened, and he glanced over at Gaylord.
Gaylord caught his look and returned it.
As their eyes met, an understanding passed between them. They both realized each other's feelings for Charlene.
With that recognition, they fell into a tense silence.

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...
