Chapter 205
After they wrapped up the discussion about Vesta, Charlene turned to Stewart and asked, “So, what’s going on with The Henderson Group?”
Stewart rubbed his nose thoughtfully. “Well, you know, Thorne’s a bit of an expert himself. He’s got a knack for the technical stuff.”
The Henderson Group was loaded. They had a whole roster of top–tier tech talent that everyone in the industry was vying for.
And with Thorne’s own tech–savvy, there was no doubt their proposal would be top–notch–perhaps even unmatched.
That was likely why Thorne had been so calm and collected, waiting until now to approach them for a collaboration.
Charlene wasn’t surprised. She Said, “When it comes time to make a decision, just focus on the facts.”
Partnering with a top–notch team could ease a lot of worries. Whatever personal history she had with Thorne didn’t matter when it came to the project.
Later that afternoon, Dalton swung by PrimeStar. This time, Stewart didn’t see him.
Dalton took off when he realized no one was around to meet him.
Not long after Dalton’s departure, Granger showed up. Stewart and Charlene went to see him together.
After reviewing Granger’s new proposal, Stewart and Charlene exchanged a knowing glance.
Seeing that he was on the same page, Charlene promptly said to Granger, “Mr. Harden, looking forward to working together.”
Granger, noticing Charlene seemed to have the final say at PrimeStar, discreetly glanced between her and Stewart before standing up to shake their hands. “Looking forward to it.”
They immediately dove into discussing the contract details.
As dusk settled outside, and they were close to finalizing the initial contract, Charlene’s phone rang.
It was Jasmine calling–twice in a row. Charlene declined both calls.
Jasmine didn’t call again.
Meanwhile, Thorne picked up his phone.
Half an hour later, he returned home.

Jasmine was lying in bed on an IV drip, looking wilted and weak as she murmured, “Daddy…”
Thorne sat at the bedside, noticing the sheen of sweat on her forehead. He gently wiped it away with a handkerchief. “Is your stomach still hurting?”
“A bit better…”
Even though it was slightly better, it was still quite painful.
Thorne didn’t give her a hard time for eating something dodgy. Seeing she was both physically and emotionally uncomfortable, he asked, “Do you want me to get Ms. Hawkins for you?”
In the past, Jasmine would have eagerly agreed. But now, she clutched Thorne’s fingers and shook her head. “I
want Mom to come see me.”
She liked Ms. Hawkins, sure.
Even though she sometimes got annoyed with her mom, when she was feeling unwell, the first person she

thought of was always her mom.
She wanted her mom by her side.
Thorne nodded. “Okay.”
He didn’t pull his hand away, instead using his other hand to call Charlene.
Charlene had just finished discussing the contract with Granger and was about to head out for dinner.
Seeing Thorne’s call and recalling Jasmine’s earlier attempts, Charlene hesitated before answering. “Hello?” Thorne said, “Minnie has a mild case of food poisoning. She’s at home on an IV and wants to see you.” Charlene’s grip on her phone tightened. “Got it. I’ll head over now.” she said.
Putting her phone down, she turned to Granger. “I’m sorry, something’s come up. We’ll have to reschedule dinner.”
Granger, noticing her tense expression, guessed, “Is it Minnie?”
Charlene nodded. “Yeah.”
“Is it serious?”
Thorne hadn’t given details, and Charlene wasn’t sure of the specifics. “It sounds like she’s stable.”

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...
