Chapter 67
Charlene glanced at Mr. Roland as he spoke with disdain about the Hawkins family, prompting her to ask, “Do you have some best the Hawkins family, Mr. Roland?”
Mr. Roland shook his head. “Beef? Nah, not really. See, the gal who was arguing with Ms. Hawkins last night, Star, is actually the daughter of a good buddy of mine. I’ve seen her grow up since she was a little squirt. Starr can be a bit wild but she’s not the type to fy off the handle.”
“Her fiancé, that Bush kid, got pretty cozy with another girl a few years back and almost called off his engagement to Start But then, out of the blue, that girl got to know Thorne and dropped the Bush boy like a hot potato.”
Mr. Roland’s story implied Vesta had once interfered in Starr’s relationship with her fiancé, but after climbing the social ladder by getting involved with Thorne, she had backed off.
However, Mr. Roland was not dwelling on the past. But the fiasco from the night before had riled him up.
He sighed, “My friend and Starr were supposed to attend today’s expo as well, but after last night’s drama and Mr. Henderson’s intervention went viral online, people have been bashing Starr left and right online, leaving her in tears,
“Furthermore, after discovering Ms. Hawkins and Mr. Henderson’s connection, many old foxes rushed to cozy up to the Hawkins family to avoid becoming targets themselves today. So, my friend and Starr decided to bail.”
Listening to this, Charlene and Stewart didn’t know what to say.
When Charlene peeked at Vesta again, she saw even more folks clustering around her.
After wrapping up the conversation with Mr. Roland, Charlene joined Patton and others in exploring and discussing the expo’s exhibits. They were all excited over the multitude of new technologies on display.
After a while, Stewart suddenly approached Charlene, gesturing in a direction.
It was Thorne. He had shown up, too. His tech firm had a significant footprint domestically. And known for his tech–savvy, it didn’t surprise Charlene that he’d attend, especially since Vesta was there. How could he not be?
And there he was, standing right by Vesta’s side, surrounded by people as if they were a couple.
Charlene spared them a glance before looking away.
Then, she spotted Moran. He was there as well. However, Moran was in conversation and hadn’t noticed her.
Stewart inquired, “Does he know you’re here?”
Charlene shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
After all, although she and Thorne had met occasionally, they had never discussed their situation. Their conversations, if any, revolved around their daughter, Jasmine. So, how could Thorne know she was at the expo?
Visibly annoyed, Stewart said, “Are you not going to say hi?”
Charlene and Thorne were still technically married. If she made her presence known as Mrs. Henderson, Stewart wondered about Thorne and Vesta’s reaction.
Charlene understood his point. She shook her head, “No, let’s not.”
First off, it wasn’t really required.
Secondly, if she boxed Thorne in, for Vesta’s sake, he might spill the beans about her past plot against him to everyone.
Without proof, even if she weren’t the culprit, she’d be the one embarrassed. With so many entrepreneurs around, mishandling situation could affect her uncle’s business. Charlene didn’t want to act on a whim.

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...
