Thorne noticed Gaylord, who assumed it was because he knew Vesta.
When Thorne glanced over, Gaylord didn't even bother to look up. Thorne quickly averted his gaze.
Seeing that Thorne himself had come to sign the contract, Stewart initially wanted to ask Charlene to leave so he could handle the negotiation. But Charlene had been managing most of the collaboration with The Henderson Group, so she was better suited to discuss the finer details.
Charlene, however, seemed unfazed. She remained professional and calmly began discussing some points in the contract with Thorne.
The collaboration between their two companies wasn't something Thorne was personally managing, but as they talked, Charlene, Stewart, and Gaylord all realized that Thorne was surprisingly well-versed in the project's content and details. He responded to everything Charlene said with a cooperative attitude, demonstrating both his sincerity and his satisfaction with the PrimeStar Technologies partnership.
Stewart was speechless. "Great," he thought, "now I'm even more pissed off."
After they finalized the details and while Thorne was reviewing the contract, Stewart couldn't help but lean close to Charlene's ear and whisper, "I'm seriously tempted to punch someone right now."
Thorne quickly skimmed the contract and signed it without hesitation. After pushing the document over to Charlene, he capped his pen and looked at both her and Stewart. "How about we grab lunch together?"
Before Charlene could answer, Stewart picked up another file, a strained smile on his face. "Thank you for the kind offer, Mr. Henderson, but Charlene and I have other matters to attend to this afternoon. We don't have time. Perhaps another time."
Thorne chuckled. "Is that so? Because I heard from Mr. Coy that you two had already arranged to have lunch with him after the signing."

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?...
