Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 205

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.”
