Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 438
Sybil’s treatment plan wasn’t going to be finalized so quickly.
The next day, after a stop at the hospital, Charlene headed back to work as usual.
Teague had flown in from out of state for a meeting with her and Stewart.
At lunchtime, Charlene and Stewart took Teague out for a meal.
Their partnership was more or less settled, so on the way, Stewart asked Teague when he planned to head back.
Teague grinned. “I’m staying a couple extra days this time. I’ve got another business meeting tomorrow.”
Stewart perked up, curiosity in his voice. “Oh? What kind of business?”
“It’s with Neural Nexus Tech,” Teague replied.
At that, both Charlene and Stewart’s smiles faded a little.
Teague didn’t notice the change in their expressions. He had no idea about the tangled history between PrimeStar and Neural Nexus Tech.
He went on, “Neural Nexus Tech made a big technological breakthrough recently—word is, the whole industry’s buzzing about their prospects. Yesterday, Mr. Hawkins from Neural Nexus Tech called and asked to meet. I thought it sounded promising, so I agreed.”
Charlene and Stewart had been so swamped lately, they hadn’t kept up with the latest industry news. Hearing this now, their faces darkened.
After a quick glance at Charlene, Stewart managed a noncommittal, “Is that so…”
They chatted for a while longer until they reached their destination.
After lunch, just as they were about to leave the restaurant, they ran into Vesta and her group at the elevator.
“Mr. Hawkins!” Teague greeted Vesta and Henley with genuine warmth.
Neither Vesta nor Henley had expected to bump into Teague, Charlene, and Stewart.
“Teague, what a surprise,” Henley and Vesta replied with polite smiles.
After the pleasantries, Teague turned to Charlene and Stewart. “Mr. Hawkins, these two are—?”
Stewart’s smile was cool. “No need for introductions. We already know each other.”
Teague laughed. “Right, we met last time I was here—my memory must be slipping.”
He couldn’t help but compliment, “Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Hawkins, your companies are doing incredibly well. It’s honestly impressive.”
Vesta and Henley exchanged a pleased look at the praise.
Ever since Neural Nexus Tech’s R&D team had cracked a major technical barrier, news had spread fast. Their self-driving car division suddenly became a major player in the field.
He swallowed the rest of his thought, aware of how it might affect Charlene, but inside, he couldn’t help feeling a deep sense of injustice.
Back at the office, as Charlene and Stewart were planning their upcoming meeting, they suddenly got word: the final million-dollar compensation payment from Neural Nexus Tech had landed in their account.
Stewart paused in surprise. “They raised the money that quickly?”
Charlene nodded. “Looks like it.”
A heavy silence fell between them.
After a while, they shifted back to work.
Later that afternoon, just after the meeting, Charlene’s phone rang. It was Connie. “Charlene, did you hear about Neural Nexus Tech?”
“I heard.”
“That bitch—she’s got some nerve. If their self-driving car division really is that competitive, doesn’t that mean—?”
Charlene squeezed her mouse so hard her knuckles turned white. Before she could respond, Connie continued, “And I heard your bastard father’s company is doing better and better. There’s talk they might win the city’s smart traffic platform contract. If they pull it off, Hawkins Technology will finally have a real name in Starfall City.”
In other words, Thorne had singlehandedly secured a foothold for Vesta and the Hawkins family in Starfall.
Watching the Hawkins family’s fortunes rise, Connie could barely contain her bitterness. “How is this fair? Those scumbags—why do they get to come out on top?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy 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...
