Charlene didn’t answer the question.
She’d already asked it herself, long ago—more than once, in fact.
But the world just wasn’t fair. She’d learned that lesson a long time ago.
So, at some point, she’d stopped asking.
Back then, she’d been powerless to change anything. But now—
The City Smart Transit Platform project was something both she and Stewart had heard of. It was, by all accounts, a solid proposal.
However, with PrimeStar’s reputation soaring and their team already juggling higher-profile projects, neither she nor Stewart had planned on bidding for it. There simply weren’t enough hours in the day.
But now…
After hanging up the phone, Charlene sat down at her computer and began seriously researching the project.
The concept was to use AI algorithms to optimize traffic flow at the city’s congestion hotspots, integrating modules for traffic monitoring, signal systems, and more.
For most companies, the technical challenges would require months of planning and detailed strategy. For Charlene, though, it was well within her wheelhouse.
As for Neural Nexus Tech’s progress on self-driving cars…
Charlene sat in thoughtful silence for a while. Then she stood up and headed for Stewart’s office.
After she laid out her thoughts, Stewart grinned and said, “So it’s the city’s transit revamp, huh? The Hawkins family has some insider guidance and thinks they’ve got it in the bag? Well, we might not have planned to step in before, but if the Hawkins family’s involved, we’d be fools not to at least give them some competition.”
He added, “If you’re set on this, you have my full support. Just know it’ll mean burning the candle at both ends for a while.”
He ruffled her hair and laughed, “No need to thank me. If we pull this off, I’ll make a pretty penny myself. I’m still young—got plenty of fight left in me.”
Once she’d made up her mind, Charlene was determined to give it her all.
That very night, she dove into drafting the proposal for the city transit project. The technical hurdles and core metrics didn’t faze her, but the bid deadline was looming, leaving her little time.
She powered through the night, working until dawn.
The next day, she was supposed to accompany Stewart to The Henderson Group’s offices. Instead, she stayed behind, telling Stewart to contact her online if anything came up.
Honestly, The Henderson Group’s engineers rarely kept up with her pace anyway. Even if she’d gone in person, she’d end up spending more time waiting for their team to catch up than actually working.
Now, juggling two projects at once, she was saving time by staying exactly where she was needed most.

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...
