Chapter 145
When Vesta heard that Thorne had gone to the Rosses, she didn’t panic.
Given Irma’s close bond with Helena, it was a given that Thorne would be sent to represent her at Helena’s grand 70th birthday bash, especially since Irma couldn’t attend herself. Vesta had been aware of this arrangement for some time.
Still, knowing Thorne was at the Rosses–even if it was on Irma’s orders–didn’t exactly fill her with joy
As word spread that Thorne had skipped their gathering for the Rosses, whispers of trouble in paradise between Vesta and Thorne began to circulate. Vesta addressed the speculation with a cool detachment, “Irma and Helena are thick as thieves. Thorne’s just fulfilling a family obligation by dropping by the Rosses, that’s all.”
There had been rumors for years about the friendly ties between the Rosses and the Hendersons, but with no recent sightings of the two families mingling, most had dismissed it as gossip.
Vesta’s comments appeared to confirm the alliance, sparking curiosity among the guests.
Suddenly, a guest arrived, bearing a gift box towards Vesta and the Spencer clan. “Good evening, Ms. Hawkins, the newcomer greeted. “Mr. Henderson was unexpectedly held up and fears he might not make it back in time. He sent me ahead with this gift as a token of his apologies…”
Vesta accepted the gift, nodding her understanding. “Thank you.”
If Helena was indeed a dear friend of Irma’s, it made perfect sense for Thorne to visit the Rosses before joining their own event. Thorne’s thoughtful gesture of sending a gift in advance was a clear sign of his attentiveness and care for Vesta, underscoring the depth of his regard for her.
Reflecting on this, the earlier tension dissipated, replaced by smiles and gratitude. Even the Spencers, initially miffed by Thorne’s absence, couldn’t help but soften as Garfield raised his glass in thanks to the assembled guests.
Encouraged by Garfield’s lead, the atmosphere quickly warmed up once again.
Vesta’s earlier displeasure melted away, touched by Thorne’s considerate act. Yet, noticing Granger’s absence, she approached Moran with a question, “Has Granger not returned yet?”
“I’ll give him a call,” Moran offered.
After a brief conversation over the phone, Moran relayed, “Granger had to step out for an urgent matter and sends his apologies.”
Vesta, concerned, inquired further, “Did he mention what the matter was?”
“No, he didn’t,” Moran admitted, his curiosity piqued by a sudden thought. “Could it be related to that person Granger’s been smitten with?”
Vesta’s smile slipped a bit, her tone growing cooler, “He hasn’t brought it up again, and I haven’t pressed the issue.”
“Fair enough,” Moran chuckled, rubbing his chin. “Maybe we’ll just ask him next time, eh?”
Vesta nodded silently in agreement.
Meanwhile, at the Rosses‘ head table, Thorne settled into his seat, catching Charlene’s eye. Charlene had indeed looked surprised at his arrival but quickly regained her composure. Noticing his glance, she asked, devoid of emotion, “Is there something you need?”
Thorne withdrew his gaze, replying simply, “No, nothing.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
