Dr. Wagner's friend looked at him and smiled. "If someone makes you openly admit you dislike them, they must be truly awful."
Since Dr. Wagner and Charlene hadn't gone far, Vesta and Raleigh clearly heard the remark.
When Vesta had offered a polite greeting, Dr. Wagner had iced her out completely, acting as if she didn't exist. Raleigh's expression was already grim, but seeing Dr. Wagner and his friend deliberately mock Vesta made his blood boil.
He figured Charlene must have fed them a bunch of lies to make Dr. Wagner and the stranger humiliate Vesta to her face.
Even so, he was furious. He couldn't believe a respected figure like Dr. Wagner would condemn a young woman without knowing the full story.
Staring at their retreating backs, Raleigh's gaze turned somber.
He couldn't wait to see if Dr. Wagner would feel any remorse for hurting an innocent girl once he discovered Charlene's true colors.
Just as he was about to march up and expose Charlene right then and there, Vesta spoke up, her tone subdued. "Let's eat somewhere else."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked away.
Raleigh froze for a second before hurrying after her. Seeing her pale face, he assumed she was devastated and humiliated by Dr. Wagner's misunderstanding. He was about to offer comfort when Vesta beat him to it.
"I know you wanted to help, and I appreciate the thought. Thank you," she said softly. "But I'm fine."
She managed a tight smile. "Didn't you want steak? There's a good place next door. My treat."
Anyone could tell she was forcing the smile. To Raleigh, it was obvious she was just putting up a brave front so he wouldn't worry.
His heart ached for her even more. He wanted to tell her he had a way to expose Charlene to Dr. Wagner, but remembering Thorne's involvement, he hesitated and kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that Raleigh wasn't going to insist on confronting Dr. Wagner, Vesta let out a quiet sigh of relief.

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!...
