The next day, Charlene and Stewart attended a cocktail party together.
They hadn't been there long when Vesta and her entourage arrived, their eyes immediately landing on the pair across the room.
The moment they saw Charlene, the expressions on Leah and Rhoda's faces soured. The reason was simple: Charlene was wearing the very gown that Vesta had been admiring just a few days prior.
The dress was worth over a million dollars, and in the past, Vesta would have bought it without a second thought. But this time…
Beyond the gown, the bracelet and necklace Charlene wore were masterpieces from a renowned designer, valued at nearly ten million.
While Vesta's own dress and jewelry were new and from a designer label, they were simply not in the same league as Charlene's.
Vesta had built a reputation as the city's fashion icon, known for her untouchable collection of couture and rare jewels, and coupled with her striking looks, she had captivated everyone. Her style was so influential that many of Starfall's socialites watched her closely for fashion cues before any high-profile event.
Tonight, however, though Vesta was still radiant, whispers began to circulate. People noticed that her attire, while elegant, seemed almost modest by her usual standards. The hushed discussions all revolved around the same questions: Why was she dressed so… humbly? Was there trouble between her and Thorne? Had he cut her off?
Then it dawned on some that it had been quite a while since Vesta and Thorne had appeared at a party together, a stark contrast to the past when she was a constant presence by his side.
Charlene knew little more about high fashion than the average socialite. She followed his gaze and shrugged. "I have no idea."
"She's always been so ostentatious," Stewart mused. "I can't believe she'd choose to wear something inferior if she had better options. Do you think something is really going on with them?"
Charlene just shook her head again, indicating she didn't know.
Stewart frowned, his suspicion growing. "Could they really be having problems? But that can't be right. I haven't heard a thing."

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
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?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
