Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

Stewart leaned in, his voice urgent yet hushed, “Hurry up, Charlene.” 

“I know,” Charlene replied, her gaze steady. 

Lunchtime rolled around when Edwin approached them, sharing that Vesta was okay now, having been taken home by Thorne for some rest. 

She hadn’t finished the herbal remedies Dr. Ableson had prepared for her. 

After leaving Neural Nexus Tech that evening, Charlene found herself drawn back to the old family mansion. 

However, Thorne was nowhere to be found that night. 

Charlene bit her lip in thought and decided to give him a call, but there was no answer. With a sigh, she set her phone aside. 

The situation at Neural Nexus Tech was still unresolved, yet their commitments at PrimeStar couldn’t be 

eglected either. 

The following morning, Charlene and Stewart managed to sort out a few matters at PrimeStar before heading back to Neural Nexus Tech in the afternoon. 

After today, it seemed like there wouldn’t be much left for them to do there. 

Stewart couldn’t hide his relief at the thought, saying to Charlene, “I’m never setting foot in Neural Nexus Tech again. I’ve had enough of being treated like a second–class citizen.” 

Charlene chuckled, “Okay.” 

Upon their arrival, they were relieved to find Vesta and her team were not in another meeting. 

Vesta was indeed back at work, seemingly buried under a mountain of tasks. 

Neither Charlene nor Stewart had any interest in Vesta’s well–being; their focus was on wrapping up their work and bidding Neural Nexus Tech farewell.. 

By nearly 5 PM, they had completed their tasks. 

Their future visits to Neural Nexus Tech would be few and far between. 

However, there were still unresolved issues waiting for them at PrimeStar, requiring their attention. 

As they headed down to the parking lot, they ran into Thorne and Vesta coming out of another elevator. The encounter was awkward. 

Thorne approached, “I’ve heard the system issues are nearly resolved. Mr. Ferguson, your efforts are much appreciated.” 

Stewart responded coolly, “Mr. Henderson, you’re too kind. It’s all part of the job.” 

Though polite, Stewart and Charlene had already blacklisted Neural Nexus Tech in their minds. 

As they conversed, moving towards the parking area, a figure suddenly lunged at Thorne from the side, brandishing a knife. 

Charlene and Stewart, focused on leaving, initially didn’t notice the assailant approaching. 

By the time Charlene realized what was happening, it was too late. Vesta, closer to Thorne, reacted instinctively, pushing him out of the way. The knife plunged into her chest instead, the scent of blood filling the air. 

The attacker was quickly subdued, but Thorne, pale with shock, scooped up the injured Vesta and rushed her 

the car, which sped away from Charlene and Stewart’s sight.

Stewart tugged at Charlene, “Let’s go.” 

Charlene, snapping back to reality, nodded, “Yeah…” 

That evening, as Charlene returned to the mansion, Thorne was absent. 

Indeed, for the next two days, Thorne didn’t return to the mansion.
