Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 

Charlene found herself sitting next to Kenton, but he was engaged in conversation with Helena and hadn’t yet acknowledged her presence. 

Turning her head towards Stewart, she said with a hint of gratitude, “Thanks for that.” 

She noticed her grandmother’s mood had noticeably improved with Kenton’s arrival. 

Stewart shrugged off her thanks, “Don’t mention it. Your project caught the teacher’s eye, and when I mentioned what was happening here, he decided to drop by. So, if anyone, thank yourself.” 

Before Charlene could respond, a familiar voice called out, “Thorne?” 

Hesitating for a moment, Charlene turned to see Thorne making his way through the doorway. 

With all eyes on him, he approached her grandmother with a confident stride and warmly wished her, “Happy birthday.” 

He extended a beautifully wrapped gift box towards her, adding, “I wasn’t sure if you’d like the first gift! prepared, so I brought another, hoping it’s more to your taste.” 

Helena was genuinely surprised to see Thorne there, and her face didn’t hide it well. 

Given today’s events, partly incited by the Spencer family’s shamelessness, which wouldn’t have been so bold without Thorne’s backing, Helena still received the gift with a polite, albeit distant, “Thank you, you’re too kind.” 

She then asked a waiter to add an extra chair and set of cutlery for Thorne. 

Despite Helena’s cool demeanor, Thorne didn’t seem offended. He calmly greeted Kenton, “Mr. Wagner.” 

Kenton nodded coldly in response. 

Thorne sat down between Charlene and Kenton, and the news of Kenton’s appearance at Helena’s celebration quickly spread among the guests, catching the Spencer family and their associates by surprise. 

“The Ross family has connections like this?” 

“I had no idea. Oh, isn’t that Stewart in the photo? And the lovely lady beside him is Mr. Ross’s niece? I’ve never heard Mr. Ross mention her before. But if she’s close to Stewart, everything makes sense now.” 

“How so?” 

“She was at the tech expo with Stewart not too long ago, and they seemed quite close. Maybe there’s a wedding on the horizon.” 

Kenton had high hopes for his student Stewart, and a potential match between Helena’s granddaughter and Stewart could greatly expand the Ross family’s network. 

This news made everyone think twice about the Ross family, much to the Spencer family’s annoyance. 

Leah, not one to follow the news, was unaware of Vesta’s admiration for a certain mentor and showed little 

interest in memorizing names.
