Chapter 55
Vesta and Jasmine were already there when they arrived at the private dining room.
Vesta asked, “What’s got you laughing so much?”
Moran replied with a chuckle, “Oh, nothing. Just met a rather interesting character.”
After dinner, Thorne and Jasmine headed home.
Getting out of the car, Jasmine ran upstairs, bursting with excitement, “Mommy, Mommy!”
Latonia emerged from the kitchen upon hearing the commotion. “Your mommy hasn’t come home yet.”
“What?” Jasmine’s excitement faded. “Why is Mommy always so busy these days?”
Grumbling to herself, she went upstairs.
Noticing Thome still lingering downstairs, Latonia inquired, “Mr. Henderson?”
Thorne shook his head. “No worries,” and followed upstairs. That night, Thorne noted that Charlene hadn’t returned.
The following morning, Jasmine woke up, half expecting to indulge in one of Charlene’s homemade breakfasts.
Seeing the breakfast on the table looked nothing like Charlene’s handiwork, she frowned, “Mommy didn’t get up to make breakfast?
Latonia replied, “Mrs. Henderson is not at home.”
Jasmine found it odd. “Where did Mommy go? Did she visit Grandma’s again?”
“Perhaps?” Without confirmation from Charlene, Latonia couldn’t be sure.
Jasmine turned to Thorne. “Dad…”
Taking his time, Thorne suggested, “If you want to know, call her.”
“I’ll ask her tonight, then.”
Meanwhile, after breakfast, Charlene had gone straight to the office.
As Stewart was about to discuss new product development with Charlene, his phone rang.
The caller asked, “Has your company crossed paths with the Henderson Group?”
“What?” Stunned, Stewart glanced at Charlene and switched to speakerphone.
“Someone from the Henderson Group was looking to cause trouble for your company, but we managed to intervene.”
Hearing that, Charlene clenched her fists tight. After the dinner party, Thorne didn’t confront Charlene about Steward wronging Vesta, which she thought meant he wasn’t interested in pursuing it.
It wasn’t that he didn’t care. It was just that he didn’t bother arguing with Charlene, choosing instead to act, making it clear that targeting, Vesta would have consequences for her!
Stewart realized what was happening. He reassured Charlene, patting her hand. “Don’t worry. Our company has strong ties with the government. They can’t touch us.”
“Right.”
Otherwise, to avenge Vesta, with Thorne’s influence and wealth, he would have PrimeStar weakened, if not destroyed. His protection over Vesta was indeed fierce!
Slightly concerned, Stewart asked, “If they can’t get to PrimeStar, would they target the Ross family?”
Charlene shook her head. “No.”
Having Irma in the mix meant Thorne wouldn’t easily go after the Ross family. He would still want to respect Irma’s dignity.
“That’s a relief…”
As the day neared its end, Charlene received a call from Jasmine. “Mommy, when are you coming home? I’m so hungry.”
“Didn’t
you
ask Latonia to prepare something for you?”
“But I want your beef steak.” She hadn’t had it last time and craved it even more.
Charlene hesitated.
Rubbing her temples without responding, Jasmine added, “Dad’s gone on a business trip, and I’m so bored. Come home soon, okay?”
‘Thorne is on a business trip?‘ That gave Charlene pause.

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...
