After chatting with Jasmine and hanging up the phone, it only took about ten minutes for Thorne to text Charlene the time and place for Jasmine's training the next day.
But that was it—just the time and location. Nothing else, not even an extra word.
The next day, Charlene arrived at the fencing club a few minutes before Jasmine did.
Jasmine showed up in the car with just her driver. Thorne wasn't there.
As soon as she got out of the car, Jasmine beamed and grabbed Charlene's hand, leading her into the fencing club.
No sooner had they entered than Charlene's phone buzzed with a call from Stewart.
“Sweetie, let me take this call,” Charlene told Jasmine.
“Okay, I'll go find my coach,” Jasmine replied, nodding.
Charlene answered the call. Stewart just had a few questions, and after a short chat, they hung up.
Jasmine hadn't gone far. Her coach spotted her and greeted her warmly, “Hey, Minnie! Here already?”
He glanced around, then asked, “Are Ms. Hawkins and Mr. Henderson not with you today?”
“Nope, today my mom came with me!” Jasmine chirped happily.
Charlene overheard the conversation as she stood by the door. After a moment, she stepped inside.
The coach noticed Charlene, his eyes lighting up with surprise. “Ah, miss, are you here to—?”
“Mom!” Jasmine interrupted, smiling brightly.
The coach paused, then chuckled, “So you're Minnie's mom?”
Charlene nodded and shook his hand.
Her coach was reputedly a former fencing champion, and his skills were evident. But it was clear that Jasmine had something special. Maybe it was a natural gift, or maybe it was her fearless approach—she moved with agility, attacked with boldness, defended swiftly, and her reflexes were sharp.
In the flurry of her movements, Charlene could almost glimpse the future—a vision of Jasmine, grown up, competing fiercely. It was bittersweet, knowing she might not always be there by her side.
After about half an hour of training, Jasmine ran over, eyes bright with anticipation, asking, “Mom, was I good?”
Charlene didn't know much about fencing, but she'd done some research online the night before to get a basic understanding of the sport.
She took the small towel Jasmine handed her and wiped her daughter's sweat, genuinely praising her, “You were fantastic.”
Then she turned to the approaching coach and added, “Thank you, I really appreciate your hard work.”
The coach smiled modestly. “Just doing my job. But honestly, Minnie's progress isn't all down to me. She came to us with a solid foundation.”
Thorne and Vesta were both skilled fencers, and it was clear Jasmine's interest in the sport was sparked by them. For Jasmine, they were her first teachers in fencing.

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...
