Chapter 296
The next morning.
After finishing her breakfast, Charlene went upstairs to find Jasmine on a video call with Thorne.
Spotting her mom, Jasmine looked up and shouted, “Mom!”
“Hey,” Charlene replied, turning on her computer.
On the other end of the call, Thorne asked, “What’s the plan for today?”
Jasmine, sprawled out on the bed, beamed with excitement. “I want to watch a movie! Mom’s taking me to see a movie at noon!”
Charlene was engrossed in reviewing the notes she’d organized the day before.
A moment later, Jasmine came over with the phone. “Mom, Dad wants to talk to you.”
Charlene paused, took the phone, and glanced at Thorne’s face on the screen. She wasn’t interested in a video chat, so she placed the phone face up on the desk, pointing the camera toward the ceiling. “What’s up?”
Thorne said, “I appreciate you taking care of Minnie for a while.”
Charlene didn’t reply, her eyes still fixed on her computer. She typed away, filling in the gaps from yesterday’s brainstorming session, and asked, “Anything else?”
“No,” Thorne replied, then added, “Happy New Year.”
Charlene mumbled an acknowledgment and ended the call, handing the phone back to Jasmine.
As it neared noon and Charlene was about to take Jasmine out, her phone rang. It was Stewart.
She chuckled and answered, only to hear Stewart’s hushed voice, “Guess who I just ran into again?”
Charlene paused, immediately knowing who he was referring to.
Before she could respond, Stewart saw Thorne and Vesta approaching and looking in his direction.
Stewart sighed, “Well, they’re coming over. Gotta go.”
“Alright,” Charlene replied calmly.
Barely had she hung up when Thorne and Vesta reached Stewart.
“Mr. Ferguson, off somewhere?” Thorne inquired.
Stewart didn’t reply directly, instead offering a thin smile. “Mr. Henderson, Ms. Hawkins, we’re not that close. Next time you see me, feel free to pretend you didn’t.”
Vesta chuckled, “Mr. Ferguson, you really are amusing.”
Stewart was about to retort when Vesta noticed his suitcase. “Heading abroad for a vacation, Mr. Ferguson?”
Stewart gave a dry laugh. “Sorry, none of your business.”
With that, he didn’t wait for another word, rolling his suitcase out of the VIP lounge at the airport.
Once he’d put some distance between them, Stewart called Charlene again. “What’re you up to?”
Charlene had just changed her clothes and replied, “Getting ready to head out for a movie.”
“Sounds like a good plan. Going by yourself?” he asked.
“With Minnie.”
Stewart paused, “I thought she was spending the holiday with the Hendersons? How come she’s with you
now?”

Charlene applied the finishing touches to her makeup, replying coolly, “They dropped her off last night.”
Stewart hadn’t expected that, and he laughed in disbelief. “So Thorne’s off on a little getaway with Vesta, huh? And they didn’t want their daughter tagging along, so they just sent her your way? Unbelievable.”
Charlene listened without much reaction.
Just then, Jasmine came over, tugging at Charlene’s hand excitedly, “Mom, I’m ready. Let’s go!”
“Okay,” Charlene said, then added to Stewart, “Don’t worry about them. Just enjoy yourself.”
“Yeah, yeah, I will,” Stewart muttered, then assured her, “I’ll be back soon, I won’t leave the company all on your shoulders.”
Charlene smiled, “Sounds good.”

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...
