Charlene didn’t say another word. She simply stepped past them and entered the conference room.
Their conversation by the door hadn’t gone unnoticed; several people inside had caught sight of Charlene and Thorne talking quietly. Still, nobody in the room really knew what was going on between them. To most, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary greeting, and no one gave it a second thought.
Except for Stewart—he was in on the truth.
As Charlene returned to her seat, Stewart leaned over and whispered, “Did you two have a fight?”
She shook her head. “No.”
Even at the lowest points in their relationship, when things had been at their tensest, it was never like that—never any shouting, never any real argument. Now, things were different. There was nothing to fight about.
With Henderson Group and PrimeStar officially starting their partnership, Charlene spent nearly the entire day at Henderson’s offices.
By a little after five that afternoon, the meeting room suddenly erupted in shouts of surprise.
“Oh my god, it actually worked!”
“What happened?”
“The model we built before—Ms. Ross thought it wasn’t good enough. Last week, we talked it over, and these past few days, we’ve reworked everything based on her suggestions—calculations, data, the whole architecture. And now, our model’s efficiency has improved dramatically! We’ve just broken through a bottleneck that’s been stumping us for almost two years. I can’t believe it—it’s really solved!”
Someone else chimed in, “And the alignment issue that’s been haunting us for ages—we’ve finally made headway. Ms. Ross, you’re absolutely brilliant!”
It was worth noting: Henderson Group was one of the top firms in the country, and everyone here was among the best in their field—recruited at great expense for their expertise. By anyone’s standards, they were a formidable team.
Professor Hancock was right—she had been standing there for some time. She’d witnessed part of the scene as Henderson’s most promising engineers crowded around Charlene, asking for her thoughts and advice.
Vesta could follow some of their technical discussion—up to a point. But Charlene was operating on another level entirely. She’d glance at a problem and immediately pinpoint the issue, offering a solution so quickly that even Henderson’s brightest minds struggled to keep up.
As for Vesta… well, she lagged even further behind.
The group, still buzzing from their breakthrough, was just about to dive back into discussion when Thorne’s voice suddenly cut through the chatter. “What’s all the excitement about?”
No one was cowed by his presence as CEO; one of the engineers was about to fill him in when Vesta interjected, “Finished with your meetings?”
Thorne nodded, ready to join the conversation, but as his gaze shifted, he caught the color in Vesta’s face—or rather, the lack of it. He frowned, concern flickering in his eyes. “You don’t look well. Are you feeling alright?”

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....
