Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 729

Stewart let out a sharp laugh of disbelief. "The sheer audacity of these people."

Their client had no idea what Stewart was referring to and looked at him in confusion. Stewart just waved it off with a smile. "It's nothing."

The client might have been in the dark, but Charlene understood perfectly.

First, there was Dalton Ramirez, and now this Director Lancaster. Both of them had taken it upon themselves to march up to her and demand justice on behalf of Vesta Hawkins.

If that wasn't audacity, what was?

Meanwhile, in a private dining room nearby.

Vesta had just found out what Corinne had done.

She couldn't help but say, "You really didn't need to—"

"I know," Corinne interrupted with a smile. "It wasn't entirely just for you. I just got back to the city, I was a little bored, and I figured I'd find some entertainment."

Vesta knew that, deep down, Corinne had still done it for her. She smiled softly. "Thank you."

"Do we really need to say things like that between us?" Corinne laughed, her eyes sparkling. "I have to admit, after pulling that stunt yesterday, I'm still in a fantastic mood today. She actually thought I was genuinely there to discuss a partnership with them, haha!"

Vesta offered a faint smile.

Corinne's smile widened as she raised an eyebrow. "By the way, didn't you mention that Gaylord Hearst deliberately joined PrimeStar to help you get back at her? How is that going? I didn't see him when I was there yesterday."

At the mention of Gaylord, Vesta's hand paused halfway to her mouth with her soup spoon. After a heavy beat, she finally spoke. "He... he fell in love with Charlene."

Corinne froze. "How is that even possible? Maybe—"

"It's true," Vesta said quietly.

It was clear he cared deeply for Charlene.

Neither Gaylord nor Stewart were ordinary men; they were both exceptionally brilliant. Yet they had both fallen for Charlene? How could she not be surprised?

The two women chatted for a while longer. As they finished their meal and were preparing to leave, Vesta checked her phone. "Thorne just texted. He's free tonight, so he'll be at your welcome dinner."

Corinne smiled. "Good. He's been incredibly helpful in pulling strings for my return to Starfall City. I really need to thank him properly." She paused, her smile turning teasing. "But of course, the only reason he's willing to help me so much is because of you."

"Alright, stop making fun of me," Vesta said softly. "You two are already good friends. Even without me, Thorne would have helped you anyway."

...

That afternoon, while Charlene was busy at work, she suddenly received a call from Jasmine. Her daughter informed her that Thorne had just called and said he was taking her to meet a friend of his who had just returned from abroad. Because of this, Jasmine wouldn't be able to stay for dinner at the Ross family home.
