Dalton Ramirez had arrived, slipping into the second row, just behind and off to the side of Charlene and Thorne.
He was running a little late.
As he was about to take his seat, he caught sight of Thorne turning toward Charlene, striking up a conversation.
When Charlene ignored him, the smile on Thorne’s face faltered ever so slightly.
Dalton’s expression darkened.
He couldn’t say exactly why, but he’d always felt that Thorne treated Charlene a bit differently.
He’d noticed before that Thorne seemed rather interested in her. But in recent months, since there’d been no rumors or inappropriate behavior between them, Dalton had started to think maybe Thorne’s interest had faded.
Clearly, he’d been mistaken.
Dalton’s scrutiny was so open that Thorne couldn’t help but notice. Thorne glanced over. “Mr. Ramirez, you made it.”
Dalton masked his annoyance, his tone cool as he replied, “Yes.”
The business summit was in full swing. Among the key officials in attendance was Hickey Watson.
After delivering his speech, Hickey and the other officials began announcing the list of outstanding companies.
Naturally, PrimeStar was among them.
Charlene joined Thorne, Granger, and several other company representatives onstage to receive their awards.
The three of them—Thorne, Charlene, and Granger—stood together as the certificates were handed out.
After the awards, Hickey invited the recipients to say a few words.
Thorne spoke first. When he finished, Charlene took the microphone from him. “PrimeStar’s growth has always been about innovation, about building a team with a pioneering spirit. Of course, innovation is never easy. Bringing together highly talented people and making real breakthroughs is even harder…”
Charlene’s earnestness on stage made Vesta, watching from below, want to laugh.
PrimeStar really had done well for itself. But, honestly, how much of that had to do with Charlene?
Both she and Granger were quickly surrounded.
Thorne, too, was caught up in a crowd of eager networkers.
Dalton knew Vesta was at the summit as well. Noticing that Thorne hadn’t made a beeline for her, Dalton headed over himself.
Vesta greeted him with a smile. “I didn’t see you earlier, Mr. Ramirez. I was starting to think you weren’t coming tonight.”
“I got held up by something at work. Sorry for being late.”
As he spoke, Dalton glanced over to see Thorne—somehow, yet again—standing beside Charlene. Dalton’s brow creased.
Vesta, always attuned to what was happening between Thorne and Charlene, noticed it too.
Seeing her gaze linger, Dalton spoke up before she could. “Why don’t we head over there as well?”
Vesta chuckled. “I’ve still got a few people to talk to, so I’ll have to stay here a bit longer. If you need to go over, please don’t wait on my account.”

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...
