Charlene honestly couldn’t care less about what Thorne thought of her, or how he looked at her.
After they left the diner, she and Stewart headed back to Henderson Technologies for another round of meetings.
This time, Maureen and Leah didn’t tag along. But Vesta did.
When Stewart noticed Vesta trailing after them, he rolled his eyes and muttered, “Mr. Henderson, about Mr. Hawkins—”
Thorne seemed to know exactly where Stewart was going with this.
Before Stewart could finish, Thorne cut him off, “If you’re worried about a possible leak, Mr. Ferguson, you don’t need to. If anything like that happens, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Stewart had expected that answer. Thorne had said the same thing when they first partnered up with Neural Nexus Tech.
Still, even though Stewart knew what was coming, he needed to hear it. He forced a stiff smile and said, “If that’s your word, Mr. Henderson, then I suppose I can rest easy.”
Earlier that morning, Thorne had sat alone at the head of the conference table. Now, with Vesta there, he had someone bring in an extra chair for her right by his side.
Charlene noticed but looked away without comment.
The meeting kicked off.
With Stewart leading, Charlene didn’t really have to say much. She and Gaylord mostly just listened in.
About halfway through, Charlene felt thirsty. She reached for the bottle of water next to her, but Gaylord was quicker. “Thirsty? Here, let me,” he offered, unscrewing the cap before she could protest.
She accepted it, nodding, “Thanks.”
Gaylord’s feelings for her weren’t exactly a secret. Surely, Thorne could see that Gaylord had an agenda in cozying up to Charlene. Yet he hadn’t warned Charlene about Gaylord’s history with her.
So, was Thorne really so unconcerned about other men paying attention to Charlene? Even if someone hurt her, would he just shrug it off?
The thought made Vesta’s smile widen.
Meanwhile, Dalton wasn’t too interested in whatever was going on with Gaylord. His attention was on Vesta and Thorne.
There had been a time when Thorne and Charlene seemed awfully close, and Dalton had worried Thorne might do something to hurt Vesta. But lately, they hadn’t been in touch much. Maybe Thorne had been attracted to Charlene’s looks at first, but it didn’t seem like she’d managed to win him over.
The only woman Thorne ever really cared about, Dalton figured, was Vesta.
And today, whether it was at lunch or now in the boardroom, Thorne hadn’t shown the slightest special attention to Charlene. That, more than anything, finally put Dalton’s mind at ease.

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....
