It wasn’t just them—every other bidder, after spotting Charlene and Stewart, had more or less realized their own efforts had been for nothing.
And that’s exactly how things turned out.
While everyone waited, the results of the bid were announced surprisingly quickly. The winner of the Starfall smart transportation project was none other than PrimeStar.
Charlene and Stewart weren’t the least bit surprised. They had more important things to do and had no intention of lingering here.
As Charlene and Stewart walked past, not even sparing them a glance, Henley and Vesta’s faces, already sour, grew even darker.
Since relocating to Starfall, the Hawkins Group had managed to stay afloat thanks to Thorne’s connections. Because of Thorne and Vesta, plenty of people in local business circles knew about their company.
But that was pretty much where it ended—inside the circle. They still hadn’t managed to build any real recognition outside of it.
Previously, the problem had always been their lack of competitive technology. Now, after finally making a breakthrough, this smart city transportation project had seemed like their ticket to broader recognition. If Hawkins Technology could land this contract, their reputation and standing would skyrocket.
Everyone at their company had poured over a month of hard work and resources into this bid, convinced the project was as good as theirs. But now—
After Charlene and Stewart left, Henley and Vesta just sat there, unmoving for a long while.
The Hawkins and Spencer families were both following the bidding closely.
It wasn’t long before Leah couldn’t hold back and called Vesta. “Sis, did they announce the results yet? Did we win?”
Vesta’s voice was cool. “No.”
“No?” Leah frowned. “How is that possible? I mean, sure, there were a few strong contenders, but we—”
“PrimeStar got it.”
They couldn’t just let Charlene run wild.
“It was bad enough when she sabotaged Vesta with Mr. Wagner and Stewart, but now she’s interfering with our company’s future. If she keeps targeting us like this—”
“I know,” Henley interrupted. “I’ll find a chance to talk to her.”
This was too important to ignore.
In fact, when Charlene and Stewart had been about to leave, he’d almost called out to her—but with so many people around, he’d held back.
The next day, Charlene arrived at PrimeStar for work. She’d just stepped out of her car in the parking lot when Henley got out of his own and called her name.
“Charlene.”

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...
