Gaylord was, by all accounts, a perfect catch. When Leah Spencer heard the suggestion, she nearly jumped out of her seat in protest. “No way! What if Mr. Hearst actually falls for that witch Charlene? We’d lose a friend and gain an enemy!”
Rhoda just chuckled, utterly unconcerned.
She gave her daughter’s head an affectionate tap. “Silly girl. With your sister shining like a diamond, do you really think Mr. Hearst would ever go for Charlene?”
She knew better than anyone just how irresistible Vesta was to men.
Vesta said nothing.
She wasn’t sure if her grandmother’s plan would work, but like Rhoda, she doubted Gaylord would ever be swayed by Charlene.
She knew exactly how much Gaylord loved her—she trusted him completely.
Maureen Spencer hadn’t spoken up until now, but she too was confident Gaylord wouldn’t fall for Charlene’s tricks.
With that settled, she finally said, “Vesta’s missed out on so much lately, especially after losing her chance at PrimeStar Technologies. Meanwhile, Charlene’s been handed an incredible opportunity and is already making waves.”
“If we let her keep getting close to Stewart, she might actually make a name for herself in AI. So we need to disrupt whatever she has with Stewart and snatch back the opportunities Vesta missed—with both Stewart and Kenton Wagner. Given the circumstances, it’s absolutely necessary.”
“If we don’t, I’m afraid the things we lose in the future will only pile up.”
She was right.
Leah thought about how Charlene had cost them three hundred million in damages, and how she’d been basking in the spotlight lately because of her research. Her stomach twisted with resentment.
But after hearing Maureen’s logic, she dropped her objections.
“So what do we do? Mr. Hearst is crazy about my sister—I doubt he’ll agree to anything.”
It wouldn’t be easy—protecting Vesta’s interests while convincing Gaylord to go along with their plan. It would take finesse.
But not impossible.
…
Meanwhile—
Charlene hadn’t expected him to come find her at work. She pressed her lips together. “You—”
“Figured you might be in the office, so I drove over,” he said, then nodded politely to Stewart. “Mr. Ferguson, it’s been a while.”
Stewart grinned and shook his hand. “Long time indeed. First time at PrimeStar, right? Since you’re here, why not come in for a tour?”
York smiled and glanced at Charlene, but at the same time, he noticed the frosty look Gaylord was shooting his way.
He’d never met Gaylord either, but he could feel the hostility radiating off him.
York noticed how close Gaylord stood to Charlene—the tension in his posture was obvious, as was his displeasure at anyone else’s attention toward her.
In that instant, everything clicked.
He paused and turned to Gaylord. “And you are…?”
Stewart was hoping Charlene would introduce them, but when she stayed silent, he stepped in. “Gaylord Hearst, one of our engineers here at PrimeStar.”

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....
