Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 13

Sneakily glancing at Vesta while hastily retreating to lean against the wall, Charlene's colleagues were intimidated.

Vesta caught a glimpse of Charlene too, but she quickly looked away, unimpressed, and headed to the elevator surrounded by a group of managers.

Charlene's colleagues sighed with relief before eagerly diving into gossip as the elevator doors closed.

"Was that Mr. Henderson's girlfriend? Wow, she's stunning and draped in designer brands. They must cost a fortune, right? No wonder she carries herself with elegance and confidence, a true mark of the elite. She's simply in a different league compared to us."

"Absolutely!"

They then quietly asked Charlene, "What do you think, Charlene?"

Looking down, Charlene said, "Yes."

Vesta was the bastard daughter of Charlene’s father. Calling Vesta a product of an affair might not be entirely accurate. After all, when Charlene was eight, her father, determined not to let Vesta and her mother suffer, divorced Charlene's mother to marry Vesta's mother instead.

After the divorce, Charlene lived with her mentally ill mother and was raised by her grandmother and uncle.

Over the years, while her uncle's business faltered, the Hawkins family's enterprises thrived.

People said to compensate for Vesta's difficult childhood, her father spared no expense in giving her the best of everything and invested a fortune in her upbringing.

And, living up to expectations, Vesta was exceptionally accomplished. Thus, the once illegitimate daughter, Vesta, was then a legitimate heiress of a wealthy family.

Having lived the life of an heiress for over a decade, Vesta exuded an aura of nobility that even Charlene, the original heiress, couldn't match.
