Chapter 44
At first, she was shocked, but later, Charlene couldn’t care less.
People swarmed toward Thome and his crew, creating a dense wall of bodies. Thorne and his companions were oblivious to Charlene’s presence among the sea of faces.
Charlene might have looked gentle and composed, but Stewart knew better. Beneath that calm exterior, Charlene was a force to be reckoned with, daring in thought and action.
At work, if something tickled her fancy, she’d throw herself into it full tilt, giving it her all, no matter if it was marketable or not. She believed you can’t know how good something is until you give it a whirl.
‘The same went for love. She loved Thome enough to bet her future on him, abandoning the chance for further education to commit to
family life.
However, having taken the plunge, despite the high price, Stewart never saw regret in Charlene’s eyes.
So, when Charlene said she was fine and ready to move on,
Stewart believed her.
He smiled. “Fancy a drink?”
Charlene returned the smile. “Sounds good.”
They went through the crowd to the refreshments area.
“Want something alcoholic?”
“Just a bit.”
Charlene wasn’t much of a drinker, but her tolerance was good. They clinked glasses and stood quietly to the side, savoring their drinks. Suddenly, someone approached them.
“Stewart, you’re here too?”
“Professor Hancock.” Stewart welcomed the new arrival warmly. “I was about to look for you but couldn’t find you anywhere.”
Professor Hancock teased, “Really? Somehow, Lfind that hard to believe.”
“Cross my heart. It’s true. I’m here specifically to introduce someone to you.”
“Oh?” Professor
gaze
fell on Charlene, his surprise tinged with curiosity.
She was a striking and elegant young woman, but why introduce her to him? Had Stewart not been known for his integrity, Hancock might have suspected…
“Isn’t the language programming project you’ve been working on a bit of a bottleneck? And this is…” Stewart offered a genteel gesture toward Charlene. “Charlene Ross, my junior, a prodigy in language programming. I guarantee she can help you out.”
“Your junior?”
Stewart’s mentor, Kenton Wagner, was a titan in the Al field, and his students, though young, were pillars in the tech community But the name Charlene was unfamiliar to him.
“Absolutely,” Stewart assured, smiling. “Charlene led the CUAP project eight years ago.”
Speaking of programming languages, few held as much prestige nationally as CUAP.
Professor Hancock was incredulous. “Seriously?”
“The truth will reveal itself once you’ve talked to her. I’m sure.”
Excited, Professor Hancock tentatively asked Charlene a few questions. As the conversation about his dilemma unfolded, his excitement grew, and their discussion became increasingly animated.
Sipping his drink, Stewart smiled and watched from the sidelines, not wanting to interrupt.
Just then, Stewart looked up and saw Vesta approaching.
Vesta nodded with a polite smile upon making eye contact.
Aware of Vesta’s reputation, Stewart paused mid–motion. But before he could react, Vesta was already standing before him. “Mr. Ferguson.”

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...
