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."

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...
