Chapter 77
Stewart stopped his conversation with Mr. Dale when he noticed something was amiss and made a beeline for Charlene.
“Everything okay?”
Charlene nodded.
“Did you twist your ankle?”
*“A bit.”
Her ankle was indeed sore, likely a sprain. Stewart’s concern was comforting, yet it also brought a tinge of
sadness.
She knew the looks she was getting from the people around them. They probably thought she was throwing herself at Thorne, desperate for his attention. Even with her injury, they likely thought she got what she deserved.
As for Thorne, he didn’t even make the effort to help her up, not even a basic “You okay?”
The only person who truly cared about her here was Stewart.
“Let me take a look?”
“It’s fine.”
Many people were around.
Ignoring her protests, Stewart scooped her up and carried her away from the crowd to sit down. He then knelt, slipped off her high heels, and gently lifted her leg to find her ankle swollen. He asked a waiter to call a doctor and fetch a pair of sneakers for Charlene.
Seeing Stewart so openly caring for Charlene stunned many. Suddenly, it seemed to many that the gossip of Charlene throwing herself at Thorne was perhaps a misunderstanding. After all, she and Stewart seemed genuinely close.
Vesta bit her lip, diverting her gaze. Then, she looked at Thorne.
Though aware of the intimate interaction between Charlene and Stewart, Thorne continued chatting with others nonchalantly.
Watching how much Thorne seemed indifferent to Charlene and Stewart’s closeness, Vesta’s lips relaxed into a smile. And she also continued her conversation with the others, no longer paying attention to Charlene.
Before long, the doctor on call came by. After taking a look at Charlene, he prescribed some cream for the pain. Once the doctor left, Stewart applied the ointment to Charlene. Charlene tried to take over, but Stewart gave her a look, saying, “Let me handle this,” and she relented.
After applying the ointment, the waiter returned with the sneakers for Charlene.
Charlene stood up, testing her foot. “It’s not too bad. I can walk.”
“That’s good.”
However, given her condition, Stewart suggested she skip the gallery visit in the evening. He had asked someone to take photos of the exhibits so she could review them later through a video recap.
Though disappointed, Charlene understood the situation. Stewart excused themselves to the others before taking Charlene home.
After they left, the rest of the group also started to disperse.

After Stewart dropped Charlene off at her place, he had to leave for another commitment.
Exhausted from the day’s events, Charlene wanted to rest before catching up with Stewart later about the “homework” their professor had assigned.
As she was about to drift off, her phone rang.
Picking it up, she saw an unfamiliar number.
Hesitantly, she answered, “Hello, who’s this?”
“Granger.”
Charlene sat up, surprised, “Mr. Harden?”
She had been so busy that she’d almost forgotten about the morning’s incident.
“Your car’s been taken care of on my end. You can come pick it up later,” Granger said before Charlene could respond further. “If you’re busy, I can have someone drive it back to you.”

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...
