Charlene and Turner traded references and insights, their conversation lively and quick-witted.
Anyone with half a brain could see it: the more Turner talked with Charlene, the more animated and genuinely delighted he became. In fact, as their discussion went deeper, Turner was even beginning to notice the gaps in his own knowledge—a realization that oddly enough, thrilled him.
He couldn't help blurting out, “I knew my instincts were right, Ross. You’re even more impressive than I thought.”
But who was Turner? He was the kind of man whose reputation spoke for itself. For Charlene, so young, to possess such a wealth of knowledge—and for Turner himself to openly admit she had outshone him—well, that was enough to leave everyone listening in around them utterly stunned.
Only Stewart managed a subtle, knowing smile.
Vesta stood quietly off to the side, listening intently.
Leah, on the other hand, had absolutely no idea what Turner and Charlene were discussing. After a while, as their conversation showed no sign of winding down, her patience began to fray. “What could they possibly have to talk about for this long?” she muttered. “It’s like they’ll never finish.”
Vesta said nothing, but her grip on her glass grew so tight her knuckles turned white.
It was true that the AI field back home had made huge strides—figures like Professor Hancock and Professor Douglas were well-respected even internationally. But in terms of pure expertise, there was still a noticeable gap compared to people like Turner or Kevitt Smith.
When Charlene had attended the St. Aurelia’s University symposium, Vesta had thought that maybe, following Stewart around, Charlene had managed to pick up a few things. But now… she wasn’t so sure.
Charlene’s depth of knowledge was simply staggering.
To be able to hold her own—no, to actually outshine Mr. Turner in a direct conversation—how could that possibly be something she’d achieved in less than a year?
Gaylord, for his part, had already witnessed Charlene’s brilliance before. Tonight, though, she was shattering even his expectations.
While he was listening to Charlene and Mr. Turner talk, one of his friends sidled up beside him and whispered, “I did a little digging. Turns out Ms. Ross isn’t from around here. Her parents divorced when she was young, and apparently her mother has some mental health issues. She moved here with her uncle’s family more than a decade ago.”
“A few years back, her uncle’s business took a downturn. Hardly anyone stepped in to help them out, and they don’t seem to have many friends or relatives in this city.”
“These days, the Ross family business is doing a bit better, but in a place as wealthy as Starfall, they’re still barely on the map—”
At that point, Gaylord shot his friend a look, silently urging him to get to the point. The friend chuckled and continued, “As for who she’s marrying… well, the Ross family is so low-profile, I couldn’t find a single rumor about it in the entire social circle.”

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...
