Vesta thought she'd have to wait a few days for any news.
To her surprise, Thorne called that very afternoon. "Mr. Ferguson and Darleen are going to a charity auction tomorrow. Want to join us?"
Vesta chuckled, "Sure, sounds good."
The next evening, they arrived at the auction. It wasn't long before Thorne steered Vesta toward Hector and Darleen Ferguson, Stewart's parents. He introduced Vesta to them.
Hector and Darleen were well aware of the history between Thorne, Charlene, and Vesta. But they didn't let any of that show when they greeted Thorne. They shook his hand warmly, and when Thorne introduced Vesta, Darleen extended her hand with a polite smile, "Hello."
The auction was a gathering of the city's elite. After some small talk, Thorne and Hector got caught up in a conversation about business, leaving Vesta a chance to chat with Darleen one-on-one.
After some pleasantries, Vesta got to the point, "Darleen, I came here today because I have a favor to ask."
Darleen laughed lightly, "With someone as capable as Mr. Henderson, what could you possibly need from me? Surely, Ms. Hawkins, you're joking."
Vesta replied, "It actually concerns Stewart."
Darleen paused, "Stewart?"
"Yes," Vesta confirmed.
Darleen was about to say something when she glanced at her purse. "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Vesta nodded, "Go ahead."
"Why would she do that?" Darleen inquired.
"We have some personal issues," Vesta explained. "Ending the contract would harm both parties. Even with compensation, Mr. Ferguson would still lose out. Neural Nexus Tech genuinely wants to continue working with PrimeStar, but he won't listen to me. That's why I hoped you might persuade him otherwise."
Darleen looked down, her voice even, "I see."
Sensing Darleen's displeasure, Vesta said politely, "Thank you, Darleen. I appreciate your help."
Darleen replied, "No need to thank me, Ms. Hawkins."
They exchanged a few more words before Hector returned to join Darleen, at which point the conversation naturally came to a close.

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...
