Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 797

Before he had time to dwell on it, Kelvin Scott suddenly turned to him. "I heard your Ms. Hawkins is going to be Dr. Lucas's student."

Dalton Ramirez snapped back to reality. "Really?"

"I just overheard Corinne Lancaster talking about it with Vesta's cousin. Apparently, Dr. Lucas had a private chat with Vesta earlier. He was very impressed, and her becoming his student is practically a done deal."

Like Raleigh, Dalton had noticed Dr. Lucas pulling Thorne Henderson and Vesta aside for a private conversation earlier. He just hadn't known what they were discussing. Hearing Kelvin's explanation, everything clicked into place.

Although Kelvin wasn't in the AI industry, he knew exactly how much weight the title of 'Dr. Lucas's student' carried. He couldn't help but add, "Good for her. If she really becomes his student, her future is absolutely limitless."

Dalton smiled, glancing toward Vesta with genuine happiness for her. "She's always been exceptional."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room.

Ever since calling Charlene Ross and Stewart Ferguson over, Dr. Lucas had been eagerly discussing business with Charlene. He was paying an extraordinary amount of attention to her.

Stewart watched the exchange closely. When Dr. Lucas turned to speak to someone else, Stewart leaned in and whispered to Charlene, "Is he... trying to poach you?"

His assistant understood the implication. "Yes, sir." Even if they offered Charlene an irresistible deal, Stewart's presence would undoubtedly make her hesitate.

Naturally, Vesta had also noticed the easy intimacy between Stewart and Charlene. Over the past few months, she had been keeping a close eye on Thorne's changing attitude toward his ex-wife. Now, seeing Charlene so close to another man, Vesta immediately looked at Thorne. But his expression was completely flat. He gave them a fleeting glance before looking away, entirely unbothered.

He truly didn't care about Charlene anymore. He wasn't faking it.

Vesta blinked in surprise, and then a slow smile spread across her face. The heavy knot of tension in her chest vanished in an instant.
