Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 369

"He called just a few minutes ago."

Stewart let out a sarcastic laugh, "Guess he got to you first."

Vesta reaching out to Thorne for help, potentially stirring up trouble for the Ross family, was something they had anticipated for a while.

Thorne probably figured they'd use the Henderson Group's tech collaboration with PrimeStar as leverage, so he tried contacting Charlene first, hoping to find a weak spot there.

But Charlene didn't give him the chance.

So, Thorne turned to him.

The reason Stewart was handling the talks with Thorne was straightforward: on paper, he was the head of PrimeStar, making him the more suitable spokesperson for these discussions.

Thinking about how Thorne tried to manipulate Charlene to help Vesta, assuming Charlene was an easy target, made Stewart both angry and worried for her. He asked, "You doing okay?"

Charlene, calm as ever, replied, "I'm fine." Then she inquired, "How's the business trip going? Smooth sailing?"

"Yeah, all good."

They talked a bit more before hanging up.

...

The legal team for Neural Nexus Tech was under Moran Albright's wing.

By the afternoon, Moran had already caught wind of PrimeStar's decision to terminate their contract with Neural Nexus Tech.

Later that evening, in a private booth...

With things escalating this far, it seemed like the termination of the contract was inevitable.

Henley Hawkins and Laverne Hawkins were promptly made aware of the situation as it unfolded.

Realizing Thorne and Granger were out of options, Henley said, "I'll try talking to her later."

By "her," he meant Charlene.

Katie Hawkins, with a calm demeanor, added, "I'll go with you."

Just as Laverne was about to speak, Vesta interjected, "Don't bother. It's pointless. Thorne said if you go after her, she and Stewart will just see it as harassment. It'll make any legal action even messier."

The faces around the room—from the Hawkins family to the Spencers—grew even darker at her words.
