Chapter 52
No way. I’m done with PrimeStar forever!” Raleigh declared without a backward glance as he stormed off.
Charlene really appreciated talent. Her eyes flicked to Stewart, who shook his head at her, suggesting she keep cool. Raleigh was a diamond they couldn’t afford to let go, even with his temper tantrum.
From the get–go, it was clear Raleigh harbored feelings for Vesta, something Stewart noted but considered a personal matter that didn’t concern him. However, Raleigh’s emotional reaction to Charlene’s arrival, spurred by his feelings for Vesta, crossed a line.
The core technology at CUAP was under a confidentiality agreement with the government, making Charlene’s role a secret. Raleigh’s impulsiveness and overestimation of Vesta meant that even if Charlene proved her worth, Raleigh might remain unconvinced, thinking Vesta could have done better. The scenario could lead to Raleigh feeling sidelined by Charlene, making him susceptible to manipulation and potentially causing significant damage to his career and the company.
Seeing Stewart’s confidence, Charlene felt reassured.
Stewart cleared his throat and addressed the room, “Okay, Charlene may not have a PhD, but trust me. Her know–how is more than enough for what we’re after.”
The room exchanged skeptical glances. They heard of Raleigh’s recent recommendation of a friend to Stewart. But the details were unclear, much like a similar incident the year before involving a supposedly top–tier university grad who turned out to be underqualified. Stewart’s choice to favor Charlene over a highly qualified candidate understandably angered Raleigh and raised questions about Stewart’s ability to separate personal biases from professional decisions.
Understanding the room’s mood, Stewart inquired about Raleigh’s current projects. Patton, who had been working closely with Raleigh, provided a brief overview.
Stewart suggested, “Charlene, how about you take over Raleigh’s remaining tasks?”
Charlene agreed, “Sure, happy to.”
She then addressed the team confidently, “I’m looking forward to working with all of you.”
The team responded with polite, if not entirely enthusiastic, smiles, silently hoping Charlene would prove capable and not leave them to pick up the slack.
“It’s all here. Tell me if you need anything.” Particularly concerned about the extra workload, Patton politely offered to help Charlene, who gratefully accepted.
least her attitude was positive. That was something.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
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....
Seriously speaking story seems to loosing its grip.. no point in dragging.. it would be better if story gets wrapped within 600 chapters.....
Dragging and no real story. Mistress is having gala time and getting all attention and poor wife is getting neglected. The story is stuck and not moving...forget about the divorce let alone husband regretting. Boring book...
