Chapter 99
When Charlene realized it was Vesta who answered the call, she wasn’t the least bit surprised.
After all, she and Thorne were so close, practically inseparable.
So what if she answered Thorne’s phone?
Calmly, Charlene spoke up, “I’m looking for Thorne.”
Vesta, recognizing Charlene’s voice on the other end, replied icily, “He’s taking a shower. If you need something, ‘you can tell me.”
Tell her?
Indeed, the matter did concern her.
The person her uncle spotted in the neighborhood today was none other than Vesta’s aunt, but the one who bought that mansion might very well be Henley.
His purchase of the mansion was likely a gesture of goodwill towards Vesta’s grandmother, his mother–in–law
now.
So, if Charlene really did tell Vesta, would she stop her grandmother and uncle from moving into that mansion? No, she wouldn’t.
Besides, Charlene couldn’t believe that Vesta was unaware of her uncle’s family planning to move across from their mansion.
Therefore, telling Vesta would be pointless and could even backfire.
Without a word, Charlene hung up the phone.
More than an hour passed, and still, no call from Thorne.
She
She wasn’t sure whether Vesta hadn’t relayed her message or if Thorne just didn’t want to call her back. At this point, it made no difference to her.
Feeling resigned, she dialed his number once more. But this time, Thorne’s phone was off.
Gripping her phone tighter, Charlene took a moment to calm herself down before calling Thorne’s butler, asking, “Are they home?”
“Not at the moment, is there something you need?” the butler inquired.
“It’s nothing.”
Charlene had a restless night.
The next morning, after nine, she tried calling Thorne again. This time the call went through but was immediately disconnected.
Charlene couldn’t tell if it was Vesta or Thorne who hung up. She didn’t want to ponder over it.
Grabbing her phone and purse, she left the house.
Before long, Charlene found herself back at Thorne’s mansion.
The butler greeted her enthusiastically, “Madam, you’ve returned?”
“Yes.”
“Will you be having lunch at home? I can have it prepared for you.”
“That would be nice, thank you.”
As Charlene ascended to the second floor, she paused briefly before entering the master bedroom.
08:40
Dacing her purse down, she sat on the edge of the bed
je master bedroom was just as she left it, unchanged. The skincare products she used during her last stay, along with the clothes she had worn, were all returned to their place, hanging right next to Thorne’s clothes in the walk–in closet.
Everything appeared as if she had never left.
She stopped trying to call Thorne, and he didn’t return her calls either.
Dinner was a solitary affair for her.
She had thought about asking Irma for help.
But involving the matriarch could complicate matters further.
After all, Thorne respected the old lady, but whether he listened to her was entirely up to him.
After dinner, Charlene busied herself with work on her computer,
As the night deepened, when she almost believed Thorne and Jasmine wouldn’t return that evening, the sound of a car finally broke the silence,
Seeing Charlene’s car, Jasmine exclaimed to Thorne, “Oh, it’s Mom’s car. Dad, Mom’s home!”
“Yeah,”
Thorne glanced at Charlene’s car and then entered the house with Jasmine.
Jasmine, greeted by the butler, asked, “Where’s Mom?”
“Madam is upstairs.”

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...
