Chapter 128
ešta just skyrocketed the bid again!
Charlene’s heart sank. She wasn’t exactly swimming in cash.
Going into this auction, she’d capped her budget at 30 million.
After all, the Ross family’s business was hitting a rough patch.
They didn’t have cash to burn.
But now…
Dalton: “28 million.”
Charlene raised her paddle, saying, “30 million.”
Her voice, following Dalton’s twice in succession, was clear, gentle, and incredibly captivating.
Dalton, hearing her, turned to look.
His eyebrows raised in a mix of surprise and amusement upon seeing Charlene, and he offered a smile.
Charlene, noticing his glance, nodded politely in response.
Just then, Vesta went ahead: “40 million.”
Charlene, losing interest in Dalton, clenched her fist tight at the sound.
Dalton again: “43 million.”
Charlene, not backing down, countered: “45 million.”
Vesta said, “50 million.”
Boom! Charlene’s mind was blown.
Sure, her initial budget was 30 million.
But the moment Vesta made her move, Charlene had silently upped her budget to 50 million.
She could afford to go higher. After all, Thorne had just gifted her a villa worth a couple hundred million.
Since that money was a windfall, why not spend it?
But she knew the tapestry wasn’t worth 50 million.
She could afford to splurge, but she couldn’t afford to be reckless.
Selling the villa could fund more meaningful ventures.
With that thought, Charlene lowered her hand.
Connie suggested, “Why not call Thorne?”
Charlene had thought about it. But would Thorne actually ask Vesta to back off for her sake? That seemed unlikely.
Even knowing it was a long shot, Charlene still pulled out her phone and dialed Thorne.
Thorne, feeling his phone vibrate, took it out of his pocket.
Vesta glanced over, seeing only an unlabelled number, asked, “A stranger?”
Thorne chuckled but didn’t answer, simply hanging up.
Watching the call get disconnected without a second thought, Charlene’s last shred of hope vanished.
She felt a momentary blankness in her mind.

Connie, indignant, said, “Damn, he actually ignored your call!”
Charlene remained silent, quietly slipping her phone back into her purse.
By now, the bidding had soared to 95 million.
Dalton, massaging his temples, turned to Thorne: “Mr. Henderson, can you do me a favor here?”
Comments
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...
