Before Dalton could even finish his sentence, Abelard cut him off, "Are you trying to say that Stewart sided with Charlene again and gave Ms. Hawkins a hard time?"
Dalton was genuinely taken aback by Abelard's spot-on guess. "How did you know, old man? Do you already know what went down?"
Abelard chuckled, "I didn't know. Just a lucky guess."
The thing was, if Charlene and Stewart had initially agreed to work with his somewhat clueless son because of him, they wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him at work without reason. His son wasn't the type to stir up trouble either, which meant that any conflict probably wasn't directly between Dalton and them.
It seemed more likely that someone Dalton cared about had run into issues with Charlene and Stewart. And that someone was probably Vesta.
Earlier that year, when he met up with Geoffrey, Charlene, and the gang for dinner, they happened to bump into Ms. Hawkins at the restaurant entrance. Abelard had noticed how attentive Dalton was to her, and given her poise and charm, he had approved.
That was until Hickey Watson informed him that Ms. Hawkins was actually Thorne Henderson's girlfriend. Abelard wasn't privy to the intricacies of Charlene and Thorne's relationship, but he did notice the odd expressions Charlene and Stewart had when they saw Vesta and her father. Clearly, there was no love lost there.
Charlene didn't seem like the type to pick fights easily, so if there was tension with his son, it likely had something to do with Vesta.
With that hunch, Abelard had called Dalton to confirm. And sure enough, it was all because of Vesta that there was any discord.
Dalton believed that Charlene was intimidated by Vesta's talent, fearing Stewart might develop feelings for her, so she deliberately targeted Vesta. Stewart, according to Dalton, was just blindly supporting Charlene, which nearly made Abelard laugh out of disbelief.
"So, what’s your plan?" Abelard questioned with a bemused grin. "You want me to call Kenton and fill him in so he can rein Stewart in?"
"Exactly," Dalton replied. "Stewart's behavior this time is just too out of line. If this keeps up—"
Abelard interrupted him. He had no intention of revealing the truth. "I can't do that for you. If you want to help Ms. Hawkins, you'll have to get in touch with Kenton yourself."

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...
