Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 520

Gaylord was supposed to join them that night, but something urgent came up at the last minute, so he ended up staying behind.

Thorne was the host for the evening, but after a quick round of greetings at the bar, he announced he had another engagement and slipped away.

Stewart had a couple of close friends in Emerald City. After sitting with the group for a bit, his friends arrived to have drinks with him.

Charlene wasn’t familiar with Stewart’s buddies. She tagged along briefly to say hello but didn’t linger in their booth.

Later, after Charlene and the rest of the PrimeStar crew had spent half an hour dancing, she returned to join everyone for a chat.

She really did stand out in a crowd.

No sooner had she sat down than people started coming over to invite her for drinks, but she politely turned them all down.

Most people took the hint and moved on after her refusal.

But there were always a couple who didn’t get the message.

One of them—a flashy guy with a slicked-back haircut and an air of trouble—looked put out. “You’re not from around here, are you? Don’t know who I am? Not even gonna give me the time of day?”

His friend chimed in, “Yeah, you should really ask around about Mr. Woods. He came over to invite you himself, and you just blew him off. You’re really not making friends here, you know…”

Charlene frowned.

Though Thorne hadn’t spent much time with the PrimeStar or Henderson Group crowd since arriving, he was actually upstairs in a private lounge.

From his vantage point, he could see almost everything happening downstairs.

Charlene’s looks had caught more than one eye.

The two CEOs Thorne was meeting with had both noticed her, too. Naturally, they also saw the situation unfolding below.

With that in mind, Coy nodded almost unnoticeably and headed downstairs.

Before things could escalate, Coy appeared, addressing the troublemaker, “Mr. Woods, is it? I’m Coy, Mr. Henderson’s secretary from the Henderson Group.”

The Henderson Group was one of the top firms in the country. Even if Thorne wasn’t a local, Mr. Woods would know exactly who he was.

Mr. Woods glanced up toward the private lounges, immediately spotting Thorne and his companions.

At that, he finally backed down, albeit reluctantly, and turned away.

With the situation defused, Coy gave Charlene a quick look before heading back upstairs.

The PrimeStar crew all breathed a collective sigh of relief. “Good thing Mr. Henderson’s man stepped in. Otherwise…”

Charlene listened, her expression cool and unreadable.
