She was worried Helena would be concerned if she knew about her distress, so she quickly composed herself and asked, "Has Aunt Linda and the rest not returned from their vacation yet?"
"Nope, they are having too much fun and said they'd be back a week later," came the reply.
"What about Uncle Vernon? Does he have another business dinner tonight?"
"Your Uncle Vernon heard you were coming home and canceled his engagements. He said he'd be back for dinner with us. Should be here any minute now."
"Good."
No sooner had they finished speaking than Vernon Ross walked in.
Seeing Charlene, he said with a smile. "Charlene, you're back." But then his expression turned to concern. "Why have you lost so much weight? Haven’t you been eating well?"
Charlene laughed it off. "I've been too busy. I'll eat more tonight."
Vernon sighed and kept adding roast beef to her plate when dinner was ready.
Vernon mentioned she had lost weight, but Charlene noticed that he looked worn out. Though she never worked at the Ross Group, she knew the difficult times it was facing. Vernon was busy with work daily, struggling to keep the company afloat.
Over the years, the Ross Group wouldn’t have been in such dire straits if Thorne had extended his support.
Besides the two desperate occasions when Irma intervened, Thorne had never helped her. Charlene thought that if it weren’t for Irma, Thorne, with his misunderstandings about her, would probably have been more inclined to destroy the Ross Group than help it.
With those thoughts, the savory taste of the roast beef turned bland in her mouth.
Knowing her predicament, Vernon never asked her to seek help from Thorne, even in times of need.
After dinner, while Helena dozed off, Charlene handed Vernon a seventy-million check.
"Charlene, I don’t need—"

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...
