Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 41
Chapter 41
After Connie’s fever subsided the following day, Charlene finally returned home. She hadn’t yet prepared her outfit for the banquet the coming evening. So, she decided to venture out that afternoon.
Charlene arrived at a high–end boutique, noticing the manager and several assistants fussing over a particular dress. It wasn’t until Charlene approached that they acknowledged her presence.
“Sorry, miss, how can I help you today?”
“I’m browsing for now.”
“Of course, take your time.”
Despite marrying into the Henderson family, Charlene had rarely attended social gatherings. Thorne and Claudia often attended formal events without her, and Irma had withdrawn from the social scene years ago.
Although Charlene wasn’t a fashion expert, years of exposure to Connie’s high–end clothing line had honed her aesthetic sensibilities. However, the boutique’s selection overwhelmed her with its beauty and variety. She wasn’t looking for anything specific, just something decent enough for the occasion.
Then, her eyes landed on a breathtaking dress that the assistants had attended to earlier. It was a light purple chiffon gown with an elegantly cinched waist and a beautifully intricate floral pattern. Paired with a sophisticated necklace, the dress perfectly balanced elegance and luxury.
Drawn to it, Charlene moved closer. As she was about to touch the fabric, the manager swiftly grabbed her hand, causing her to wince in pain.
Releasing her hand immediately, the manager apologized, “Sorry, miss, I didn’t mean to. It’s just that this dress is a custom piece for a VIP client, one of a kind, and quite expensive. We can’t afford any mishaps.”
“It’s okay.” Realizing someone else had ordered the dress, Charlene felt disappointed. The prices in the boutique ranged from a few thousand to over a million dollars for the most exquisite pieces. Yet, even the priciest gowns paled compared to the one she had just
seen.
Eventually, Charlene settled on a cream–colored silk gown with elegant lace detailing. As she paid and waited for the dress to get packed, she overheard two assistants whispering, “They said that dress and necklace combo were worth over thirty million! It’s as expensive as a house.”
“Some people do live in a different world. And to think, it might only be worn once…”
Thirty million? Even without an owner, it was way beyond her budget. Shaking her head, Charlene left the boutique.
Back home, Connie called to invite her for a lavish dinner the following evening. Learning about the banquet, Connie rushed over the following afternoon, eager to style Charlene personally.
Charlene had a good eye. The dress she chose was lovely. With Connie’s expert makeup, Charlene’s elegantly understated beauty shone through magnificently.
When Stewart arrived to pick her up that evening, he was stunned by her appearance. “You look stunning. It suits you perfectly.”
Charlene smiled. “Thank you.”
As they drove, Stewart mentioned, “So, returning to the company tomorrow?”
“Yes,” said Charlene.
“Great. You’ll meet Vesta, too.” Realizing she might not know who Vesta was, Stewart added, “She’s the programming prodigy I mentioned. She’s starting tomorrow as well. I’ll introduce you two.”

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...
