Vesta quickly signed the termination agreement. She promised to pay the compensation within the agreed timeline. When Stewart got the news, he snorted, "She sure acts fast."
The lawyers were handling the rest, and once Vesta signed the agreement, Charlene and Stewart stopped worrying about it.
A few days later, Kenton Wagner was on vacation, and it had been a while since the teacher and his two students had seen each other. They decided to meet up for lunch.
Charlene and Stewart left the office around noon and headed to a cozy bistro. Just as they arrived, they ran into Vesta and Thorne, along with a few others, including Elias Thornfield, the CEO of another leading AI company, Aether Innovations.
Elias and Stewart had a decent relationship, the kind where they could chat a bit when they ran into each other. Elias caught sight of Stewart and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Ferguson!"
Stewart glanced over, ignored Thorne and Vesta, and replied with a smile, "Elias."
Elias knew that Neural Nexus Tech had approached him after ending things with PrimeStar. Seeing Stewart's cold demeanor towards Thorne and Vesta, Elias assumed the breakup hadn't been pleasant.
In the past, Thorne and Vesta would have greeted Stewart, even if he was indifferent. But not today. Vesta's glance was noticeably cooler, and Charlene couldn't be bothered to look at them at all.
After exchanging pleasantries with Elias, Stewart and Charlene headed inside without giving Thorne and Vesta another thought.
Once they were in the private dining room, Stewart remarked dryly, "They just ended things with us and immediately teamed up with Aether Innovations. Thorne doesn't mess around."
Aether Innovations was a big name in the AI world, and partnering with them likely cost more than their previous deal.
Charlene poured some water and said, "Their language system was top-notch last year. It's no surprise they sought out Elias. It's a smart move to regain what they lost by ending things with us."
He'd heard about the split between PrimeStar and Neural Nexus Tech and the reasons behind it. Seeing them all together seemed odd.
Vesta, sensing his curiosity, clarified, "No, we just ran into each other."
"Ah, I see," Dalton replied, as if confirming his suspicions.
Charlene and Stewart had no interest in further chit-chat with Dalton or Thorne. Stewart spoke up first, addressing Kenton, "Shall we, professor?" And with that, they left, leaving the past behind as they moved forward.
Kenton nodded, just about to turn and leave, when Dalton noticed Charlene and Stewart's dismissive expressions. They clearly didn't think much of him, Thorne, or Vesta. His face grew cold, and he abruptly stepped forward, speaking up, "Mr. Wagner, my father is Abelard Ramirez. We met a while back. Do you remember?"
"I do," Kenton replied, giving him a measured look. "And what of it?"

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...
