Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 383

After Darleen left, Thorne turned to Vesta with a curious look, "Had a chat with Darleen?"

Vesta chuckled softly, "Yeah, I did."

Judging by Darleen's expression, it seemed like her patience with Charlene was wearing thin.

The whole mess between Neural Nexus Tech and PrimeStar, Darleen had known about it for a while. Stewart had given her a heads up. During their recent conversation, there hadn't actually been a call interrupting her. Darleen had recorded the entire exchange with Vesta, and as she walked away, she sent the recording over to Stewart.

Stewart and Charlene were still at work. When Stewart listened to the recording, he grinned and headed over to Charlene's office to share the news.

After hearing the details, Charlene leaned back in her chair, a confident smile on her face, "Looks like we've got this lawsuit in the bag."

"Exactly," Stewart replied.

Their lawsuit to terminate the contract wasn’t just about cutting ties with Neural Nexus Tech; it was a strategic move to corner Vesta into making a mistake. They wanted to push her into trying to stop the termination, hoping she'd trip up and give them the evidence they needed.

As long as Vesta tried to reach out to the Ross family or Stewart's side to achieve her goal, there was a good chance she’d slip up or cause further rifts, handing them just the leverage they needed for the lawsuit.

The more Vesta tried to fix the situation, the more likely she was to stumble. If she'd just stuck to apologizing and showing genuine intent to cooperate, their case against her might not be so strong. Even if they managed to break the contract, the penalties wouldn’t have been significant.

But things had changed. The initial conflict was Vesta’s fault, and now she was painting the narrative that Charlene was manipulating Stewart due to some personal vendetta. Charlene was a key tech figure at PrimeStar and a crucial part of the Neural Nexus project. Vesta’s disrespect for the facts and her baseless accusations only fortified their case.

Thorne smiled warmly, "Of course."

"I'll let Ms. Hawkins know."

"Alright."

"Goodnight, Dad."

With that, Jasmine hugged her toy and headed upstairs, leaving Thorne to feel both a pang of sympathy and a bit of pride for his daughter’s resilience.
