Dalton Ramirez had arrived, slipping into the second row, just behind and off to the side of Charlene and Thorne.
He was running a little late.
As he was about to take his seat, he caught sight of Thorne turning toward Charlene, striking up a conversation.
When Charlene ignored him, the smile on Thorne’s face faltered ever so slightly.
Dalton’s expression darkened.
He couldn’t say exactly why, but he’d always felt that Thorne treated Charlene a bit differently.
He’d noticed before that Thorne seemed rather interested in her. But in recent months, since there’d been no rumors or inappropriate behavior between them, Dalton had started to think maybe Thorne’s interest had faded.
Clearly, he’d been mistaken.
Dalton’s scrutiny was so open that Thorne couldn’t help but notice. Thorne glanced over. “Mr. Ramirez, you made it.”
Dalton masked his annoyance, his tone cool as he replied, “Yes.”
The business summit was in full swing. Among the key officials in attendance was Hickey Watson.
After delivering his speech, Hickey and the other officials began announcing the list of outstanding companies.
Naturally, PrimeStar was among them.
Charlene joined Thorne, Granger, and several other company representatives onstage to receive their awards.
The three of them—Thorne, Charlene, and Granger—stood together as the certificates were handed out.
After the awards, Hickey invited the recipients to say a few words.
Thorne spoke first. When he finished, Charlene took the microphone from him. “PrimeStar’s growth has always been about innovation, about building a team with a pioneering spirit. Of course, innovation is never easy. Bringing together highly talented people and making real breakthroughs is even harder…”
Charlene’s earnestness on stage made Vesta, watching from below, want to laugh.
PrimeStar really had done well for itself. But, honestly, how much of that had to do with Charlene?
Both she and Granger were quickly surrounded.
Thorne, too, was caught up in a crowd of eager networkers.
Dalton knew Vesta was at the summit as well. Noticing that Thorne hadn’t made a beeline for her, Dalton headed over himself.
Vesta greeted him with a smile. “I didn’t see you earlier, Mr. Ramirez. I was starting to think you weren’t coming tonight.”
“I got held up by something at work. Sorry for being late.”
As he spoke, Dalton glanced over to see Thorne—somehow, yet again—standing beside Charlene. Dalton’s brow creased.
Vesta, always attuned to what was happening between Thorne and Charlene, noticed it too.
Seeing her gaze linger, Dalton spoke up before she could. “Why don’t we head over there as well?”
Vesta chuckled. “I’ve still got a few people to talk to, so I’ll have to stay here a bit longer. If you need to go over, please don’t wait on my account.”

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...
