Chapter 71
When the word got out, there was a real stampede toward the front rows. But when folks from the back pushed through, Kenton was
ready swarmed by those who had snagged the prime seats early on.
Vesta was among those in the front row, yet she didn’t engage with Kenton. Noticing this and feeling a bit antsy, Laverne waved her
over.
Catching the signal, Vesta approached, “Aunt Laverne.”
Understanding Laverne’s intentions without a word, Vesta said, “With all these big shots swarming Mr. Wagner, trying to squeeze in for a chat wouldn’t really do much. Thorne said we could arrange for a one–on–one with Mr. Wagner some other time.”
“That’s right.” Laverne realized her impatience might have been a bit premature.
Thorne was mingling with the high–flyers they usually only read about, and hoping Vesta could expand her network, Laverne nudged her to get back into the mix.
Unfazed, Vesta mentioned, “I’ve met most of them already.”
Thanks to Thorne, these industry titans were quite cordial toward her.
Knowing how much Thorne looked out for Vesta, Laverne relaxed and smiled. “That’s good to hear.”
Still, after chatting with Laverne, Vesta returned to Thorne’s side. Breaking into that crowd wasn’t easy for just anyone. But being known as Thorne’s date, the crowd parted for her effortlessly.
After having their turn with Kenton, the business moguls stopped crowding him but started discussing market trends among themselves.
When Vesta came back, someone in the group teased, “Ms. Hawkins is a real catch, Thorne. You’ve hit the jackpot.”
Despite their lofty statuses, these moguls didn’t judge solely on background. Vesta’s impressive resume, beauty, and poise made her stand out as a remarkable young professional. Their compliments were genuine.
Thorne smiled, and Vesta graciously replied, “Mr. Dale, you flatter me.”
The conversation flowed until Kenton, pressed for time, excused himself to leave.
No one dared to hold him back, knowing the weight of his responsibilities.
As Kenton left, Charlene and Stewart were deep in conversation with tech specialists from various companies, never feeling the need to fight to meet Kenton like the others.
If they wanted to see Kenton, it wasn’t as straightforward as for some, but not impossible. Sure enough, shortly after Kenton left, Stewart received a message and guided Charlene out of the exhibit hall to meet Kenton in the parking lot.
Kenton was on his phone, probably messaging someone, when he looked up at their arrival.
Charlene halted, “Professor Wagner.”
Kenton nodded. With a cold tone, Kenton commented, “I’ve seen your exhibit. It’s decent. But,” his gaze swept over them with a chill, “three years, and this is all you’ve got?”

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...
