Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 589

The others had already moved on to a new topic by the time Vesta finally opened the video of The Henderson Group's press conference.

The event began with wide shots of the stage, where the host and Charlene were seated, as well as the audience and media below. Vesta spotted Thorne almost immediately. She knew he was attending, but she was surprised to see him in the audience rather than on the stage. Though the camera only swept past him for a moment, she could tell he was in an excellent mood. And maybe it was her imagination, but she felt that whenever he looked toward the stage, his eyes were fixed on Charlene.

Vesta's fingers tightened around her mouse.

After the host's opening remarks, the spotlight shifted to the stars of the show: Charlene and her team. Leah had said the press conference felt like Charlene's personal stage, and after watching for a few minutes, Vesta had to agree. Charlene was the undeniable center of attention, fielding every technical question from the reporters with an easy, confident grace. Coupled with her striking looks, Vesta had to admit that Charlene was incredibly captivating at that moment.

She had the live comments streaming alongside the video, and they were filled with praise for Charlene's beauty and intelligence, with many speculating about her background.

[Is this woman really the key figure behind The Henderson Group's technical breakthrough? Damn, she 's brilliant and gorgeous? With looks like that, she could be a celebrity! It's just unfair!]

[Seriously, who is she? She looks so young to be leading a project at a major company like PrimeStar. She must have some serious connections, right?]

Then, a comment provided some answers: [I don't know all the details about Charlene Ross, but what I do know is impressive: she skipped three grades, made it into MIT, and graduated at 18 with a flawless academic record. I've never understood why she didn't continue to grad school. I actually confided to a friend once that I was afraid she'd stalled out after such a bright start. Seeing her doing so well now, it really makes me happy.]

[Whoa, graduated from MIT at 18? That's insane! No wonder she's leading projects for giants like The Henderson Group and PrimeStar at her age!]

The thought made Vesta's heart clench.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a new message. It was from Thorne.

[Moran wants to know if you want to get dinner. Are you free in a bit?]

Vesta stared at the text, her eyes flickering between the screen and Thorne's face in the video. After a long moment, she typed back: [I'm free.]
