On her mother’s birthday, Charlene received a divorce reminder from Thorne.
How fitting.
Padgett spoke up again, “Mr. Henderson’s office said if you’re free Monday morning, he’d like to schedule the paperwork for next Monday at 9 a.m. at city hall. What do you think, Ms. Ross?”
Charlene replied, “I’m available Monday morning.”
“Alright,” Padgett said. “I’ll let Mr. Henderson’s attorney know.”
“Okay.”
Aside from Padgett’s call, Charlene also noticed a missed call from Thorne.
She could guess Thorne’s reason for calling—it was probably the same as Padgett’s.
So, she didn’t bother to call him back.
After spending the weekend with her family, Charlene drove out early Monday, just after eight.
When she pulled up outside city hall, Thorne was already there.
She hadn’t taken their marriage certificate with her when she moved out, so Thorne had brought both the certificate and the divorce agreement with him.
Back when they got married, Thorne had left immediately after the paperwork, his expression cold, not sparing their marriage certificate so much as a glance. Naturally, the certificate had always been in her care.
She’d nearly forgotten where she’d put it, but now, for the divorce, Thorne hadn’t even needed to ask her—he’d managed to find it himself and bring it along, perfectly intact.
When she arrived, Thorne got out of his car and handed her the divorce agreement. “Do you want to go over it one more time?”
The marriage certificate in his hand was open, their photo clearly visible. It seemed he’d just been looking at it before getting out of the car.
Charlene looked away without a word, took the papers, and returned to her car to read through the agreement.
By the time she finished, it was almost nine o’clock. She got out and headed straight for city hall.
Thorne followed behind her, and the two of them entered together.
“…Alright.” He hesitated for a moment, then asked, “You still going to the Henderson meeting?”
“Yes.”
Seeing the resolve in her eyes, Stewart smiled. “Okay.”
Twenty minutes later, Charlene and Stewart arrived at The Henderson Group. By the time they reached the conference room, Thorne and his team were already seated.
When they walked in, Thorne greeted them politely. “Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Ross. Glad you could make it.”
Charlene and Stewart both nodded coolly and took their seats.
The meeting began promptly.
Throughout, Charlene kept her focus on work, and Thorne, maintaining a cordial demeanor, spoke with Stewart and the others.
The conference room was full, but aside from Stewart, no one knew that Charlene and Thorne—who seemed to barely interact—had seen each other that very morning at city hall, quietly finalizing the end of their marriage.

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....
