Sunday was Mother’s Day.
Jasmine arrived at the Ross family home on Saturday.
Thorne’s driver dropped her off.
For her Mother’s Day gift, Jasmine gave her mom a handmade card. On the front, in careful handwriting, it said, “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.”
“Isn’t it pretty? My teacher said I could ask Dad to help, but he’s been super busy lately. So I did everything myself—from the design to drawing and sticking on the hearts and everything.”
Charlene realized it had been a while since she’d actually watched Jasmine do her homework.
Her handwriting was getting neater and neater.
As Charlene looked at the card, she suddenly remembered last year, when she’d flown all the way to Goldland just to spend Jasmine and Thorne’s birthday with them. But Jasmine had been preoccupied, polishing a bracelet for Vesta.
And, if Jasmine’s words were anything to go by, that bracelet had been a team effort between her and Thorne.
Charlene kept her expression calm as these memories flickered through her mind.
She slowly closed the card and said, “It’s beautiful, thank you.”
The day after Mother’s Day, Charlene got a call from Kenton Wagner. That evening, she headed straight back to the base.
York Watson walked into the data center and paused when he saw Charlene hard at work.
She didn’t notice him right away.
A few minutes later, as she picked up her mug, took a sip of water, and set it down, she finally caught sight of York standing not far away, facing her.
She paused for a second, nodded at him, then turned back to her computer.
York was in the data center for a reason.
When he finished his meeting, he noticed Charlene was still at her desk. He walked over and said, “It’s getting late. Aren’t you going to grab something to eat?”
Those habits came from years of experience and sharp instincts. But these days, with AI advancing so fast, those habits could also be turned into data—data the enemy could track.
Charlene had taken his mission history and the enemy’s patterns. So, last week, when he almost acted on instinct, the system flagged it, suggested he do the opposite, and predicted exactly where the enemy would be—giving him the best escape route.
Thanks to the system—and her work—he’d gotten out safe.
Charlene understood straight away.
She said, “That’s what we’re supposed to do. Besides, you kept your cool and made the right call. You saved yourself.”
Maybe it was her job, but after that day, whenever York came to the data center, he heard everyone praising Charlene’s skill with data and analysis.
She had an incredible sense for the big picture.
York was about to say something, when Kenton strode over and said, “Charlene, come with me.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and 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...
We're stuck at this chapter for over 2wks now Very annoying Thorne and vesta having the tune of their lives while Charlene is stuck More annoying...
Updating chapters to this novel is reminiscent of a sloth. There should be a disclaimer when this site states PUBLISH 10 chaps/day....
