Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 368

That afternoon, Charlene had just returned to PrimeStar Technologies when her phone buzzed with a call from Thorne.

If they broke the contract with Neural Nexus Tech, it would be a massive blow to the company.

The moment Charlene saw Thorne's name flash on her screen, she knew exactly why he was calling.

She didn't answer.

Thorne called twice more, and when Charlene still didn't pick up, he turned to Stewart.

Stewart, well aware of Thorne's intentions, picked up the call.

Without any pleasantries, he asked, "Mr. Henderson, you're calling about the Neural Nexus Tech issue, aren't you?"

Thorne replied, "Yes, Mr. Ferguson, what can we do to resolve this?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Henderson, but Mr. Hawkins' actions have crossed a line for me. I can't compromise on this," Stewart said coolly. "Is there anything else you need to discuss?"

Thorne pressed, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"None," Stewart confirmed. "I'll be handling this matter with my legal team. I expect you to respect my company's employees and not bother them. Otherwise, I'll have to assume you, like Mr. Hawkins, lack respect for our partnership. That would force me to reconsider our ongoing collaboration."

Knowing Thorne couldn't break the deadlock with him, Stewart anticipated he'd turn to Charlene next.

Not that Thorne could do much to Charlene, but if Thorne decided to target the Ross family for the sake of Vesta Hawkins, it would be a disaster.

An unnecessary disaster, and one best avoided.

Stewart didn't lay it all out, but Thorne understood the underlying threat. He chuckled softly, "I understand your point, Mr. Ferguson."

Stewart knew Thorne grasped the gravity of the situation. He asked icily, "Anything else, Mr. Henderson?"

Thorne replied, "No, that's all."

With that, Stewart ended the call abruptly.

As soon as he hung up, Stewart dialed Charlene.

She answered promptly.

"Thorne called me. We just talked," Stewart informed her, then asked, "Did he try reaching out to you?"
