Stewart sat with his legs crossed, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "Turned into what, exactly? Smitten by charm, or blind to right and wrong?"
Both, if you ask me.
Of course, Dalton didn't say that out loud.
Stewart seemed to read his thoughts. "Funny," he chuckled. "I have a feeling that the one who's blind and smitten isn't me, but someone else entirely."
Before Dalton could respond, Stewart continued, "And as for who my mentor values the most, well, it's not me. You flatter me too much, Mr. Ramirez."
Dalton was taken aback. Even bringing up Kenton Wagner hadn't fazed Stewart.
Stewart wasn't about to let Dalton off easy. "If you feel the need to stand up for Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Ramirez, you're welcome to terminate our contract. Of course, you'd have to compensate PrimeStar for any losses."
Dalton thought he was speaking reasonably. But Stewart was clearly hostile, even suggesting ending their business relationship.
It was absurd.
Dalton pressed his lips together, trying to maintain his composure. "Mr. Ferguson, there's no need to act on impulse—"
Stewart met his gaze steadily. "I'm not acting on impulse. I'm quite serious."
Dalton was momentarily stunned.
Stewart's eyes were cold and detached, but his expression was serious. In that moment, Dalton realized Stewart meant every word.
Was it really necessary to go this far just because he spoke on Vesta's behalf?
The more serious Stewart seemed, the more Dalton felt he was being unreasonable.
Dalton tightened his lips, searching for words, but Stewart had already lost interest in the conversation.
Standing up, Stewart said coolly, "Since you're not here to discuss business, Mr. Ramirez, I won't keep you. Chester, show him out."
Dalton's face darkened. "Mr. Ferguson!"
Stewart's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You're awfully invested in someone else's girlfriend, Mr. Ramirez. I wonder if Mr. Henderson is aware of your concern for Mr. Hawkins?"
Dalton paused, lowering his gaze, his tone softening. "Mr. Hawkins and I have a business relationship. She seemed genuinely eager to resolve things with you, so I thought I'd try to mediate."
But he'd done all he could to help her.
Just then, a thought struck him—Kenton.
If Kenton knew what Stewart was up to, he might just reign him in a bit.
He and Vesta were merely business partners, and no matter how much he sympathized with her, he had no grounds to intervene further.
Before leaving, he simply said, "Well, I'll be off then. Until next time."
Vesta smiled and nodded.
Dalton turned and walked away.
Once in his car, he hesitated for a few minutes before calling Abelard Ramirez.
It was hours later when Abelard returned his call, asking, "What's up?"
Dalton hesitated before speaking. "It's not a big deal, really. It's just... Stewart's success has made him a bit reckless and thoughtless in his actions lately—"

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...
