Jasmine Henderson had been staying with the Ross family for the past few days, showing no signs of leaving even over the weekend.
Thorne Henderson hadn't mentioned coming to pick her up, either.
Recently, Charlene Ross had submitted another paper to a top-tier international journal. It had been accepted without a hitch and was slated for official publication early Sunday morning.
But Charlene didn't stay up waiting for it. She turned in early on Saturday night.
When she woke up the next morning and checked her phone, a flood of missed calls and unread messages immediately poured in.
She glanced at the screen and decided to return Stewart Ferguson's call first.
He picked up almost instantly. "You're awake?"
"Yeah."
"I assume you know why I'm calling?" Stewart chuckled. "Unsurprisingly, your latest paper caused an absolute sensation right after it dropped. Congratulations."
"Thank you."
He was genuinely thrilled for her and just wanted to share his excitement.
They didn't chat for long and quickly wrapped up the call.
Charlene scrolled through the rest of her notifications, replying to each person one by one.
Upon seeing her texts, Granger Harden, Gaylord Hearst, York Watson, and Professor Hancock all called back to personally offer their congratulations.
She thanked them graciously.
Shortly after, reporters from major news outlets began reaching out, eager to schedule an exclusive interview.
By the time she finally put her phone down, over an hour had passed.
Jasmine had woken up earlier. Seeing how busy Charlene was right out of bed, the little girl had quietly kept to herself to avoid interrupting.
Even though Jasmine was staying with the Ross family, Thorne still called her every single day, and this morning was no exception.
Over the past year, Charlene had made numerous public appearances, and her undeniable brilliance had firmly established her credibility.
Most people reasoned that neither Stewart nor Dr. Wagner would risk their prestigious careers and sterling reputations just to indulge a woman.
The Hawkins and Spencer families secretly knew she had the skills to back it up.
But...
Watching her ride the coattails of her connections to Stewart and Kenton to achieve skyrocketing fame and undeniable prowess left a bitter taste in their mouths.
"If Vesta had just come back earlier and hadn't missed her chance to join PrimeStar Technologies, everything Charlene has now would be hers."
"Exactly," Leah scoffed. "My sister's starting point was miles above hers."
It wasn't just the two families nursing that grudge; Raleigh, a former employee at PrimeStar Technologies, felt the exact same way.
Staring at Charlene's newly published paper on his screen, his expression twisted into an ugly scowl.

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!...
