That afternoon, when Charlene arrived home, Jasmine was already there, having just gotten back from school. As Charlene stepped through the door, she heard Jasmine on the phone. The little girl's face lit up. "Mommy!"
After a quick exchange with the person on the other end, Jasmine ran over, holding out the phone. "Mommy, Daddy wants to talk to you."
Charlene sighed and took the phone. "Hello?"
"Happy birthday."
She was silent for a couple of seconds before replying, "Thank you."
This was the moment she should have mentioned his extravagant gift, but the words wouldn't come. Thorne, for his part, didn't bring it up either, acting as if he hadn't just sent her a fortune in a box.
"I've got a lot on my plate here," he said. "It'll be a while before I'm back."
Charlene understood his meaning. She pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
"Are you angry?" he asked into the silence.
He didn't say it aloud, but everyone knew what he meant. Even a small piece of that action would be a massive windfall for them. The others felt the same way. Henley Hawkins was practically salivating at the thought.
"These aren't projects just anyone can get into," Henley said, playing devil's advocate. "If something goes wrong, Thorne is the one on the hook. Not to mention the capital required is immense." They simply didn't have that kind of money.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Well cockroaches it seems you've reached your final destination at which your nasty colony will be destroyed! Way to go Stewart!!!...
Now ı want to know how Thorne will stay silent with her daughter there and people talking bad about her mother....
Oh god! It's getting super boring and dragging. Lost all the interest now. A warning to new readers, avoid reading this....
761 chapters and they still couldn't divorce...
Is the universe against the divorce now?...
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?...
