Thorne had already congratulated her in private, but since he was playing the part of someone just hearing the news, Charlene played along. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it."
That was the end of their interaction.
Shortly after, Charlene and Thorne went their separate ways.
Watching them interact like passing acquaintances only cemented Raleigh's belief that their relationship was far more twisted than he'd originally thought.
As Mr. Abner was about to head back upstairs, Raleigh suddenly asked, "Did anyone from The Henderson Group win an award this year?"
If someone internally had won, it would make sense for Thorne to attend and drum up publicity for the company's products. Otherwise...
"No," Mr. Abner said, pausing. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason. Just curious."
Charlene had stepped on Vesta to get to where she was today. If there was truly nothing going on between Thorne and Charlene, Thorne—as Vesta's boyfriend—would never attend that gala unless absolutely necessary.
...
The award ceremony was scheduled for Saturday night.
On Friday around noon, Charlene's phone buzzed. It was Jasmine.
"Mom, you're going on a business trip this weekend too, right?"
Charlene blinked in surprise. "Yes. Did your dad tell you?"
"Yeah," Jasmine grumbled, her voice muffled. "When are you coming back?"
"Sunday afternoon."
"Dad too," Jasmine said. "I'll go to the airport to pick you both up, and then we can all go see a movie together. How does that sound?"

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!...
