Chapter 78
A
Charlene instinctively declined. “No need to trouble you. I can pick it up myself.”
Her refusal was quick and decisive, leaving a brief silence on the other end.
Charlene asked, “Mr. Harden?”
“Fine, I’ll send you the contact details for the garage shortly.”
“Thanks, appreciate it.”
Granger didn’t respond, simply ending the call.
With her foot injured, Charlene couldn’t pick up her car. After some thought, she decided to ask Stewart for help.
Stewart agreed to bring her car back once he finished his commitments.
That evening, after ordering pizza for dinner, Charlene received a call from Jasmine, inquiring when she’d come home.
Charlene explained straightforwardly, “Sweetie, I sprained my ankle, and it’s difficult to walk, so I’m staying out to recover. You should head to bed early.”
Jasmine was immediately worried when she heard about the injury. “What? Mommy, you hurt your ankle? Is it really bad? Does it hurt?”
“It hurts, but it’s not severe. I’ll be better in a few days.”
“Okay.”
Reassured by Charlene’s words, Jasmine still wanted to ensure she was okay, “So, where are you staying? We’ll find time to visit you tomorrow when Dad gets home.”
Charlene quickly dismissed the idea. “No need. I can take care of myself. Just focus on your studies.”
“Okay then…”
After a bit more chatting, they ended the call.
Later, Thorne returned home.
Upon seeing him, Jasmine said, “Dad,” and before Thorne could even respond, she hurriedly added, “Dad, Mommy hurt her ankle and is currently recuperating outside!”
Thorne acknowledged with a “Hmm.” He took off his high–quality suit jacket, handed it to the housekeeper, and mentioned, “I know.”
“Oh?” Jasmine looked up, surprised. “Dad, how did you know? Did Mommy tell you?”
Settling down and accepting a glass of water from Latonia, Thorne replied, “No, but I saw it with my own eyes.
“Saw it?” Jasmine paused, “You were there when Mommy got hurt?”
“Yes.”
Jasmine seemed to remember something, “Oh, right, Mommy works at Dad’s company, so Dad saw it when she got hurt, right?”
“Not exactly,” Thorne’s tone was indifferent. “Mom doesn’t work at my company anymore.”
“What?” Jasmine looked up, puzzled, “So, where does Mommy work now?”
“At a place she likes.”
Oh…”

After finishing his water, Thorne stood up, ruffled Jasmine’s hair, and advised, “Get some rest early.”
Jasmine acknowledged, “Okay.”
Around 8 pm, Stewart returned with Charlene’s car.
While taking over the keys, Charlene asked, “How much was the repair bill?”
She implied she wanted to reimburse him.
*Taking a seat on the couch, Stewart responded, “How would I know?”
“Huh?” Charlene was puzzled. “How did you pick up the car without paying?”
“No one asked me for payment. The workers let me take the car when they heard it was yours.”
Charlene paused, realizing.
So, had Granger taken care of the bill on her behalf? That was unexpected.
“What’s wrong?” Stewart noticed her changed expression.
Charlene shook her head. “Nothing.”
“Then let’s get to the homework so I can go home and rest. It’s been a long day. I’m beat!”
By homework, he meant the exhibition review assignment Kenton had given them that morning. “Sure,” Charlene agreed but added, “Let me make a quick call.”
“Alright.”
Charlene casually dialed Granger.
He answered almost instantly, “Hello?”
“Mr. Harden, it’s me, Charlene.”
Granger: “I know. What’s up?”
Charlene went straight to the point. “About the car, I’ve got it back. Did you cover the repair expenses? If so, how much was it? I’ll transfer the money to you now.”

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...
