Corinne's face went pale with fury.
But the crisis was imminent, and she desperately needed a solution.
She called Vesta again. "She won't budge. I need someone to mediate. Who can I talk to?"
Vesta hesitated. "Honestly... there isn't anyone."
"No one at all?"
"She's burned bridges with almost everyone in our circle. Plus, this whole mess is tied to me. Even if someone tried to talk her down, the odds of her listening are practically zero."
Corinne refused to accept that. "Even if she's close with Stewart, and even if she's seemingly running PrimeStar right now, this is a massive contract. PrimeStar stands to make a fortune if they work with us. I'm certain they want this deal. Charlene is just throwing a tantrum to get back at me. I'm only begging her because we're on a ticking clock."
She took a breath. "If I can just find a way to let her vent her frustration, she'll agree.
Besides, she and Stewart aren't even married. Their ties aren't that deep. There is no way Stewart would let her blow off such a lucrative project over a petty personal vendetta."
When Corinne had first called Stewart, he had redirected her to Charlene. In Corinne's mind, Stewart was just playing the supportive boyfriend, letting Charlene have her moment of petty revenge.
But that didn't mean he was genuinely willing to flush a multi-million-dollar contract down the drain.
Vesta lowered her eyes. "That... might not be true."
If PrimeStar belonged solely to Stewart and Charlene had no equity, Corinne's theory might hold weight. But Charlene was a major shareholder. She was wealthy in her own right and had absolutely no financial incentive to force herself into a miserable partnership with the Lancaster family.
Moreover, Stewart was fiercely protective of her, and PrimeStar's internal policies seemed to bend entirely to Charlene's will.

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!...
