Jasmine, thinking Leah simply hadn't heard her, tilted her chin up defiantly. "I said, last month for my mommy's birthday, my daddy gave her a really big diamond. But that diamond was red, not like this one!"
Leah was even more confused. "That's… that's impossible!" She whipped her head around to look at Vesta. "Vesta, did you hear what she just—"
Vesta, however, remained remarkably calm. "Alright, let's drop it." She then turned to Jasmine with a gentle smile. "If you don't like it here, Minnie, we can go somewhere else."
Jasmine, feeling that Vesta was on her side, nodded happily. "Okay!"
As Vesta led Jasmine by the hand, she cast a warning glance back at Leah. "Don't go spreading this around the family."
With that, she and Jasmine left the jewelry store.
Leah stood there, stunned by Vesta's composure. She couldn't understand what was going through Vesta's mind. Vesta was brilliant; there was no way she hadn't connected the dots and realized that the diamond Jasmine was talking about was the very one they all believed Thorne had bought for her proposal.
Could Thorne have bought another diamond? And why did Vesta want to keep this a secret from the family?
Though her mind was a swirl of questions, Leah's absolute trust in Vesta compelled her to follow them out of the store without another word.
…
Over the next few days, Charlene split her time between the hospital and her office. Jasmine, while not visiting in person, called every day to check on Helena's condition.
Vernon was merely being courteous. He fully expected Thorne, with his known aversion to their family, to decline.
In fact, everyone in the room, except for Jasmine, thought the same.
But to their astonishment, Thorne smiled. "I would be delighted, Mr. Ross."
His acceptance stunned everyone, from Charlene and the Rosses to even Irma herself. Helena also paused, but she quickly reasoned that Thorne must have accepted out of respect for Irma, who was present. The others arrived at the same conclusion.
Jasmine, oblivious to the undercurrents, was simply thrilled and tugged on Charlene's hand to leave.

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
