Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 

In Laverne’s eyes, Charlene was envious because Vesta had snagged Thorne from her, leading her to sabotage Vesta’s opportunity at -PrimeStar. 

With no real talent or education, Charlene seemed to thrive on creating drama. That thought alone made Laverne find the whole situation laughably pathetic. She figured she wasn’t alone in this opinion. Thorne probably saw it the same way. 

Unfortunately, Charlene was blissfully unaware of this, probably still patting herself on the back for messing up Vesta’s chance. 

Thinking of Vesta’s brilliance compared to Charlene, Laverne felt there was no contest. 

Henley sighed, “I know.” 

He shared Laverne’s viewpoint. “But she won’t listen.” 

“She’s just so…” 

Stubborn, just like her mother. Laverne held her tongue on saying that part. After all, it was never nice to talk about that woman. 

“About the project…” 

“Let’s wait for Vesta to get back and ask her,” Henley suggested, concerned. 

They had poured much money into Al over the years, but their company’s products lacked cutting–edge technology, resulting in mediocre growth. 

On the other hand, PrimeStar raked in millions annually from the project, even without effort. Who wouldn’t be envious? 

If they could unravel the project’s core technology and integrate it into their current projects, their company’s worth could skyrocket to billions soon. 

As they were mulling over this, Vesta walked in. 

Seeing Henley and Laverne, she greeted, “Dad, Aunt Laverne.” 

“Vesta, you’re back?” Laverne’s face broke into a smile, her affection and respect for Vesta as clear as a bell. 

Vesta nodded, sitting down. “What were you guys talking about?” 

“The project,” Henley replied. “Without a way into PrimeStar, what’s your plan? Did Mr. Henderson say anything?” Mesta said, “Thorne said he’d reach out to Kenton for me.” 

Kenton was a leading figure in the Al industry, highly regarded by the government and elusive to the public. 

Stewart, one of Kenton’s few direct disciples, had developed the project. Since the Stewart route was a dead end to them, they had to try their luck with Kenton. 

“That’s good,” Henley smiled, though with a hint of worry. “Stewart, being Kenton’s student, might have spoken ill of you to Kenton. Could that…” 

“I doubt it,” Laverne interjected with a smile. “Henley, you underestimate how much Kenton values talent. Vesta’s a genius. With her skills in Al, I’m sure she’ll impress Kenton if she gets a chance to meet him. Who knows, Kenton might even make an exception and take her as his direct disciple.”
