Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 617

In truth, the money wasn't for her. It was for Jasmine.

When Jasmine was older, Charlene planned to give her every cent and every asset Thorne had ever provided. With that kind of security, no matter what life threw at her, Jasmine would always have options and the strength to face it.

A few days later, Charlene received a call from Thorne's lawyer. She wasn't sure if Thorne was back in the country yet, but the lawyer informed her that the 30-billion-dollar agreement was drafted and he wanted to send it over for her review.

Given the astronomical sum, Charlene expected the agreement to be filled with complicated clauses and conditions. She would have understood if he'd made a few extra demands.

But the document he sent over was surprisingly brief. Thorne had only one condition: that she refrain from filing for divorce for a period of six months. This clause was a precaution in case other matters continued to delay the process on his end.

After reviewing the terms and finding no issues, Charlene signed it without hesitation. Shortly after, the promised funds began arriving in her account in installments.

The following afternoon, as she was heading into The Henderson Group for a meeting, she saw Thorne outside, deep in conversation with someone. He spotted her and Mr. Windsor's party, gave a polite, professional nod to the group, and immediately returned to his discussion. So, he was back.

That evening, when Jasmine called to chat, Charlene asked casually, "When did your dad get back?"

"Today! He called me right after he got home this afternoon," Jasmine said brightly, then asked, "Why, Mommy?"

"Nothing."

After hanging up with Jasmine, Charlene sent Thorne a text: [My schedule is open for the foreseeable future.]

Leah Spencer, ever confident in Thorne's devotion to Vesta, chimed in. "Exactly!"

No one else said a word, but their anxiety lingered.

They all started paying close attention to Thorne's movements. But two, then three days passed. From what they could gather, he wasn't unusually busy, yet there was no word of him contacting Charlene to finalize the divorce.

Meanwhile, Charlene was also waiting. She had run into Thorne again since his return, and he didn't seem particularly swamped with work.

Still, she couldn't be sure what his schedule was actually like. Deciding to be proactive, she sent him another message: [Just a reminder that I'm still available whenever you are.]
