However, the crowd had little interest in Vesta's personal drama, and the conversation quickly shifted back to business.
As noon approached, Corinne walked over to Granger just as he finished chatting with an executive. "Care to grab lunch together?"
Granger's tone was polite but unmistakably distant. "My apologies. I already have a lunch meeting."
Corinne didn't look embarrassed in the slightest. "Alright, next time then."
Granger's so-called meeting was entirely fabricated. He ended up having lunch with Charlene's group, safely buffered by the large crowd of attendees.
That evening, after the tech conference officially wrapped up, Charlene and Stewart boarded their flight back to Starfall City.
Granger, Corinne, and Dalton were also scheduled to fly back that night, booking the exact same flight.
Naturally, they all bumped into each other on the plane.
Granger hadn't found many opportunities to actually speak with Charlene over the past two days. Seeing her now lifted his spirits, and he offered a warm smile. "What a coincidence."
Charlene gave a polite nod.
Gaylord, however, was visibly irritated. "Excuse me, coming through."
Just as Granger opened his mouth to reply, Dalton and Leonard walked down the aisle.
"Looks like everyone is here," Leonard noted.
Not wanting to block the aisle, Granger gave Charlene and Stewart a brief nod before heading to his seat.
Dalton hadn't interacted with Charlene at all during the conference. Now, forced face-to-face, he simply greeted Stewart. "Mr. Ferguson."
He treated Charlene as if she were completely invisible.
Stewart's lips twitched as he offered a silent nod.
Leonard's assigned seat happened to be right next to Granger's. Upon discovering this, Corinne immediately asked her brother to swap with her.
Leonard could tell his sister had genuinely developed an interest in Granger over the past two days. He paused. "Are you serious about this?"

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!...
