She wasn't an idiot. She knew 'unavailable' was just a convenient excuse, and that Charlene was deliberately leaving her out in the cold to settle an old score.
But her company's project was on the brink of disaster, and PrimeStar was their only lifeline. Swallowing her pride, Corinne turned her frustration on Chester. "Then could you tell me when Director Ross will be back?"
Chester replied professionally, "I apologize. Director Ross didn't share her itinerary, so I really couldn't say."
Corinne knew she was hitting a brick wall.
Refusing to cause a scene, she offered a tight, "I'll try again another time," and hung up the lobby phone.
Once back in her car, she dialed Vesta. "Do you have Charlene's number?"
Vesta sighed. "No."
Corinne pressed, "Could you do me a favor and ask Thorne for it?"
Aware of the desperate situation Corinne was in, Vesta agreed. "Of course."
Corinne waited in her car. A few minutes later, Vesta texted her the number.
Thanking her friend, Corinne immediately used her assistant's phone to dial Charlene, knowing her own number would likely be ignored.
Charlene had already anticipated the tactic. Seeing the unfamiliar digits flashing on her screen, she let it ring out.
Surprised by Charlene's heavy guard, Corinne resorted to a text: [Director Ross, this is Corinne Lancaster from The Lancaster Group. I have a highly lucrative proposal to discuss with you. You can name your terms. Please let me know when you're available.]
Charlene read the message, set her phone face-down on the desk, and completely ignored it.

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!...
