Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 

However, being in his position, Abelard having inside information and giving his own circle a heads up was pretty much the norm. 

That’s just how it works among the elite. 

Stewart had gotten used to it by now. 

Grinding his teeth, he said, “Our company definitely needs to collaborate with others to scale up the project, but lately, I just can’t stand the sight of Dalton…” 

Charlene knew it was because Dalton had taken a liking to Vesta. 

But Charlene truly didn’t care. She stated coolly, “The smooth progress of the project and maximizing our benefits is what matters most. Everything else is secondary.” 

She had met Abelard once. He might have his biases, but from what their mentor’s attitude towards him 

ndicated, Abelard was indeed trustworthy. 

“I know,” Stewart said. 

He was just venting. 

He raised his chin and huffed, “Anyway, we still have some time before we officially start seeking investors. I’ll just give him the cold shoulder for now.” 

Charlene laughed, “Alright.” As long as he was happy. 

After Dalton’s call, Charlene and Stewart continued discussing business. 

But half an hour later, Stewart’s phone rang again. 

Seeing the caller ID, he displayed a mix of disdain and smugness. 

Charlene, sensing it was someone familiar, asked, “Who is it?” 

Stewart smiled, “Granger.” 

“Looking to collaborate?” 

“Very likely.” 

Like with Dalton, he didn’t usually cross paths with Granger or Moran. 

Granger wouldn’t call him without a reason. Besides, the Harden family, like the Ramirez family, had connections in both politics and the military. 

They were very well–informed. 

“Should I take it?” Stewart asked Charlene. 

Being Thorne’s wife, Granger and his crowd looked down on her but had taken Vesta, the mistress, into their fold and got along with her so well. 

In his view, Granger was even more despicable than Dalton. 

“Take it,” Charlene said. She didn’t want Stewart to act impulsively. 

Stewart answered the call. 

As expected, Granger, like Dalton, was indeed calling to seek collaboration. 

After stating his purpose, Granger said, “I’m currently out of town on a business trip, but I’ll be back in Starfall by noon tomorrow. How about dinner tomorrow night?” 

Stewart replied indifferently, “Thank you, Mr. Harden, for the honor, but the project is just kicking off and we’re

swamped with work. I really can’t make time tomorrow, maybe some other time.”
