Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 364

Maureen and Vesta exchanged glances, their expressions subtly shifting.

Usually, in situations like this, they'd have Leah apologize straight away to prevent any unnecessary drama that might tarnish their image.

However, when Charlene threw out the suggestion of terminating the contract if they doubted her capabilities, both the Hawkins and Spencer families became more focused on whether Charlene could really lead PrimeStar.

Even if Leah was at fault, Maureen and Vesta thought they could always deal with Charlene later and decide on an apology then. But this time, being a bit too relaxed about the situation allowed Charlene to steer the narrative in her favor.

The technicians from PrimeStar and the staff from Neural Nexus Tech were oblivious to the ongoing feud between Charlene and the two families. They were outsiders, and Charlene's signing authority wasn't their main concern.

From their perspective, whether it was Leah questioning Charlene's authority at PrimeStar or Maureen dismissing the legality of her signature, it all seemed like the Spencer and Hawkins clans were just covering for Leah.

Clearly, Leah was in the wrong, yet instead of making Leah apologize, the families seemed to gang up on Charlene, applying undue pressure.

Leah wasn't the most likable person, but Vesta and Maureen, along with Katie, usually came across as well-mannered and reasonable. Honestly, even Quincy and the others were surprised by their behavior today.

Vesta was quick to apologize, "I'm sorry, Ms. Ross. Both my boyfriend Thorne and I value our partnership with PrimeStar. Otherwise, we wouldn't have chosen to collaborate in the first place."

"We trust in PrimeStar's technology. My mother and I are just used to protecting my sister. In our haste, we said some inappropriate things, and that wasn’t our intention. Please, Ms. Ross, don't take it to heart."

Mentioning Thorne didn’t seem to faze Charlene.

Charlene replied, "So, what's your point? Are you suggesting we just let this slide, Ms. Hawkins?"

As they walked away, Leah couldn’t help but vent, "It was just a minor issue. Charlene’s just upset because her brother-in-law handed the company to you, and now she’s making a big deal out of nothing—"

Vesta and Maureen silently agreed.

But regardless, Charlene had managed to force them into an apology and had tarnished their image a bit in the process.

It was clear they'd miscalculated today.

Maureen turned to Leah, "You're not a kid anymore, Leah. Try to think things through before you act."
