Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 385

Darleen really liked Charlene?

How could that even be possible?

If it were true, then everything she said to Darleen yesterday—

Remembering how Darleen had left their conversation midway, her heart sank once more.

Perhaps noticing her troubled expression, Thorne asked with concern, "Hey, what's up? You feeling okay?"

Vesta snapped back to reality, forcing a smile, "No, I'm fine, really."

That day, she shared the news with her family.

When the Spencer family and the Hawkins family heard that Darleen liked Charlene enough to consider her as a daughter-in-law, they were in absolute disbelief.

"Charlene's been married and has a kid, plus her background's nothing special; Stewart's got a great family and a thriving career. How could the Fergusons possibly agree to this? Did Mr. Albright misunderstand something?"

"Exactly," Leah Spencer chimed in, "Or maybe that woman hid her past? The Fergusons probably don't even know she was married before, and that's why—"

Vesta couldn't wrap her head around why the Fergusons would allow Stewart to marry Charlene.

Maybe Charlene really did hide her past and tricked the Fergusons, who knows.

She initially thought if she couldn't talk Stewart out of it, taking it to court wouldn't be a problem.

But if Darleen recorded their conversation yesterday, then a lawsuit might be out of the question.

Yet, if Charlene really did keep her marriage and child a secret from the Fergusons, there might still be some leverage.

With that in mind, Vesta immediately contacted someone to dig for information from Darleen.

Thanks to Thorne, many people wanted to get in her good graces, so finding someone to help wasn't difficult.

The next afternoon, the person they sent to gather intel approached Darleen and asked, "Darleen, I heard that Ms. Ross, who’s been pretty close to your Stewart, was married before. Is that true?"

Darleen laughed, "Yeah, that's true. Your sources are quite up to date."

Having gathered the information from Darleen, the contact quickly reported back to Vesta.

"The Fergusons actually know Charlene was married..."

Which means they probably also know she was married to Thorne.

Leah's tone was a bit sour, "Knowing she's been married and still agreeing to them being together, have the Fergusons lost their minds?"

Vesta remained silent, her expression grim.
