Charlene honestly couldn’t care less about what Thorne thought of her, or how he looked at her.
After they left the diner, she and Stewart headed back to Henderson Technologies for another round of meetings.
This time, Maureen and Leah didn’t tag along. But Vesta did.
When Stewart noticed Vesta trailing after them, he rolled his eyes and muttered, “Mr. Henderson, about Mr. Hawkins—”
Thorne seemed to know exactly where Stewart was going with this.
Before Stewart could finish, Thorne cut him off, “If you’re worried about a possible leak, Mr. Ferguson, you don’t need to. If anything like that happens, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Stewart had expected that answer. Thorne had said the same thing when they first partnered up with Neural Nexus Tech.
Still, even though Stewart knew what was coming, he needed to hear it. He forced a stiff smile and said, “If that’s your word, Mr. Henderson, then I suppose I can rest easy.”
Earlier that morning, Thorne had sat alone at the head of the conference table. Now, with Vesta there, he had someone bring in an extra chair for her right by his side.
Charlene noticed but looked away without comment.
The meeting kicked off.
With Stewart leading, Charlene didn’t really have to say much. She and Gaylord mostly just listened in.
About halfway through, Charlene felt thirsty. She reached for the bottle of water next to her, but Gaylord was quicker. “Thirsty? Here, let me,” he offered, unscrewing the cap before she could protest.
She accepted it, nodding, “Thanks.”
Gaylord’s feelings for her weren’t exactly a secret. Surely, Thorne could see that Gaylord had an agenda in cozying up to Charlene. Yet he hadn’t warned Charlene about Gaylord’s history with her.
So, was Thorne really so unconcerned about other men paying attention to Charlene? Even if someone hurt her, would he just shrug it off?
The thought made Vesta’s smile widen.
Meanwhile, Dalton wasn’t too interested in whatever was going on with Gaylord. His attention was on Vesta and Thorne.
There had been a time when Thorne and Charlene seemed awfully close, and Dalton had worried Thorne might do something to hurt Vesta. But lately, they hadn’t been in touch much. Maybe Thorne had been attracted to Charlene’s looks at first, but it didn’t seem like she’d managed to win him over.
The only woman Thorne ever really cared about, Dalton figured, was Vesta.
And today, whether it was at lunch or now in the boardroom, Thorne hadn’t shown the slightest special attention to Charlene. That, more than anything, finally put Dalton’s mind at ease.

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
