Charlene picked up her phone and called Granger back after missing his call a couple of days ago. She casually asked if there was something he needed.
Granger replied, "Oh, Daisy just wanted to video chat with you. Nothing urgent."
Both Charlene and Granger had work to get to, so they didn't linger on the call.
After hanging up, Charlene grabbed her car keys and headed downstairs to drive to the office.
Coincidentally, she and Stewart Ferguson arrived at the company parking lot at nearly the same time.
Stepping out of his car and catching sight of her, Stewart grinned, "Back already?"
Charlene returned the smile, "Yep."
Just as she said that, Thorne's car pulled in, with Vesta riding shotgun.
Instead of heading into the garage, Thorne parked right in front of Charlene and Stewart.
Both he and Vesta got out, greeting Stewart with a cheerful, "Good morning, Mr. Ferguson."
Stewart's smile faded slightly.
"What rotten luck," he muttered under his breath, tuning out Thorne and Vesta as he pulled Charlene along with him.
Thorne and Vesta didn't seem to mind Stewart's cold shoulder. As they passed by, Thorne handed Vesta the car keys and opened the driver's door for her, gently reminding her, "Drive safely."
Vesta smiled, touched by his thoughtfulness, "I will."
Charlene and Stewart made their way into the office building. While waiting for the elevator, Stewart glanced back at the entrance, noticing Thorne hadn't followed them.
Vesta didn't spare Charlene another glance.
Katie, too, gave Charlene a brief look before dismissing her presence entirely, her focus solely on Vesta, patting her hand with an air of satisfaction and affection. To her, Vesta was the only granddaughter she acknowledged.
Charlene paid them no mind.
She made her way to the underground parking, got into her car, and left the mall.
The next morning, as Charlene was just waking up, her phone buzzed with a call from Kenton Wagner.
After listening to what he had to say, she replied, "Got it."
Hanging up, she immediately dialed Granger, "I've got something important tomorrow morning, so I can't make it to Daisy's birthday. I'll make sure the cake is ready in advance. Could you swing by my place to pick it up along with the gift I got her? And please, apologize to Daisy for me."

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
