Chapter 179
It was a divorce settlement. The first clause demanded custody of Jasmine for him. The rest detailed the wealth he was willing to part with for her.
She had sought him out to discuss the progress of their divorce.
Now, facing the divorce settlement, she flipped through it casually without much attention and placed it back on the table, declaring, “I have no objections.”
Saying so, she opened her purse, rummaged for a pen, and prepared to sign.
Charlene’s rise to her current status had been marred by dublous means,
Despite the disregard for Charlene as a person, her love for Thorne over the years was evident to everyone, including Thorne himself and Moran.
Siven Charlene’s devotion to Thorne, Moran had braced for her inability to accept the divorce, expecting her to be devastated and unwilling to let Thorne go.
To his surprise, Charlene not only agreed to the divorce swiftly but also raised no objections to Thorne’s demand for their daughter’s custody. This was entirely unexpected for Moran,
He looked incredulously at Thorne.
Thorne, watching Charlene, seemed deeply surprised by her readiness to agree to the divorce.
As Charlene bent over to sign, she paused, retracting the pen.
Moran smirked to himself.
He knew it–Charlene couldn’t possibly-
Charlene stated, “I’ll have my lawyer review this divorce settlement tomorrow. If everything checks out, I’ll sign it within two days and have my lawyer contact you.”
She had noticed he was willing to part with a substantial portion of his assets, including shares in his company, which she had briefly seen while flipping through the document. In her initial divorce proposal, she hadn’t asked for anything.
Now that he was offering, she wouldn’t refuse.
Throughout their marriage, he might not have loved her, but he never set a trap for her.
Thus, upon seeing his willingness to divide his assets with her, she was inclined to sign immediately but hesitated.
She worried about potential loopholes in the agreement.
Should any issues arise with his company in the future, holding these shares might make her a scapegoat.
Thorne, in drafting this divorce settlement, might not have intended to harm her.
Yet, she couldn’t be sure that, upon marrying Vesta, Vesta wouldn’t exploit any loopholes to her detriment.
Thorne, seemingly caught off guard by her wariness, paused before responding, “Okay.”
Charlene nodded, slid the divorce settlement back into her purse, zipped it up, and without another word, stood up and left.
Moran watched Charlene’s departing figure in disbelief, turning to Thorne, “Is she alright?”
Thorne, watching Charlene walk away, only turned back to softly answer, “I don’t know.“.
“And she didn’t even react to you wanting Minnie’s custody. This is so strange.”

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...
