Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 664

To think that such powerful men would not only approach Charlene but also seem to genuinely like her… It wasn't just Leah; Mr. Windsor and his group were equally stunned. They all knew Stewart was Kenton's protégé, but they never imagined Charlene could leverage that connection to become part of Kenton's inner circle—a world far beyond the reach of the business community.

Henley, Maureen, and Georgina Spencer were also deeply surprised. They'd known Charlene had met Geoffrey before, but they had assumed it was a fleeting introduction while she was with Stewart, and that men of their stature wouldn't have given her a second thought. After all, someone like her couldn't possibly enter a circle like Geoffrey's and Kenton's.

They never expected this.

The only person who wasn't surprised was Vesta. She already knew Charlene had met Geoffrey and Darius. When she later saw how warmly Hickey treated Charlene at a work event, she realized that these influential men were all quite fond of her. What she hadn't known was that Charlene had been to the Ramirez family's home for dinner with them. Did that mean Dalton might already know—

The elevator arrived. Charlene and Mr. Windsor's group stepped inside, leaving Vesta and the others to wait for the next one. As the doors closed, Laverne finally broke the silence. "I have to admit, I never thought she'd land on her feet like this."

They had all been shocked when Charlene, whose family was in decline, had managed to marry into the Henderson family. Now, without Thorne, she had Stewart. More importantly, she wasn't even married to him yet but had already won the approval of Kenton, his wife, and their powerful friends. This meant that even if things hadn't gone wrong between Vesta and Thorne, Vesta still might not have been able to outshine a Charlene married to Stewart. And that was to say nothing of the current situation.

It was the question on everyone's mind, but they didn't dare press Vesta. Her expression was blank. "I don't know," she replied coolly.

Leah knew Vesta couldn't ask Thorne directly. His attention was entirely on Charlene, and if Vesta pushed him, he might get angry and break up with her for good, leaving them with nothing. So, despite her anxiety, Leah fell silent.

In truth, Vesta wanted to know more than anyone. The best person to ask was Moran, but she just hadn't found the right opportunity.
