Chapter 42
Charlene’s face froze. “Vesta? Do you mean Vesta Hawkins? The one who just got back from Goldland?
Stewart nodded, surprised. “Yeah, you know her?”
“She’s my half–sister,” Charlene revealed
Stewart was shocked. He had heard more or less about Charlene’s family situation, but this coincidence caught him off guard.
Charlene’s gaze turned icy as she added another piece to the puzzle. “She’s also Thorne’s mistress?
The car screeched to a halt. “You-”
Charlene shook her head. “I’m fine.” Her expression was eerily calm as she continued, “Call it nepotism or whatever, but I don’t want her joining our company.”
Stewart’s demeanor shifted to one of firm agreement. “You don’t have to worry. I support your decision?
Charlene felt a warm feeling inside. “Thank you.” She paused, then added, “But that means you’re missing out on a talent.”
Stewart chuckled, giving her a knowing look. “She might be a genius in coding, but compared to you, she’s not worth much.” He spoke with unwavering sincerity.
Charlene was stunned, thinking Stewart was laying it on thick.
Reading her thoughts, Stewart assured, “I’m serious.”
Charlene hadn’t expected such a bold statement. After a moment, she asked, “She’s been interviewed a while ago. Why hasn’t she started working yet?”
Stewart shook his head. “She mentioned having some matters to sort out. I didn’t pry.”
They arrived at their destination ten minutes later, with Charlene deep in thought.
“What’s on your mind?” Stewart inquired.
“I don’t get why she’d want to join our company,” Charlene mused. Even though their company was doing well, there were bigger fishes in the sea. With Vesta’s credentials and background, her opportunities were endless. Since Charlene was a major yet secret shareholder, she doubted Vesta knew about their ties.
So, Vesta’s interest wasn’t likely personal.
Stewart stroked his chin and smiled. “When we talked, she mentioned our company’s programming language, CUAP. She seemed intrigued by it.”
CUAP was a language Charlene had led a team to develop at 17. Initially deemed average by many, it had become the company’s most formidable asset. Its complexity had stumped even the most skilled teams, elevating it to a nearly mythical status within the industry.
Vesta was drawn to this programming marvel.
“Come to think of it. Many top talents have joined us in the last few years, all because of CUAP,” Stewart added.
Charlene was surprised by this revelation.
Seeing her reaction, Stewart gently patted her head, chuckling. “That’s why I’m saying, she’s nothing compared to you. Your skill in our field is something I, someone who knows you really well, can back up.”
After all, before Charlene emerged on the scene, Stewart had been a prodigy admired by many.

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...
