When Henley appeared, Charlene didn’t look the least bit surprised.
The Starfall Smart Transit Project was crucial to the Hawkins family’s tech company, yet she had swooped in and snatched it from under their noses at the last minute. How could they possibly sit still after that?
And it’s not as if this was the first time she’d pulled something like this.
She would find opportunities to strike again in the future.
The bidding was over—this project was out of the Hawkins family’s reach now. So, if Charlene guessed right, Henley was here to make sure she didn’t pull off another coup like this.
But how did he plan to persuade her?
Of course, he’d try to appeal to her emotions.
It was the cheapest tactic, after all.
But Charlene had no intention of playing along with his act.
She turned around, and just as he was about to speak, she cut him off. “I remember the last time Katie announced in front of everyone that I wasn’t her granddaughter. You’ve been living in Starfall for over half a year now, and I’ve run into you enough times, Mr. Hawkins, but not once have you ever publicly acknowledged me as your daughter—”
She paused, her voice chilling as she met his gaze. “So tell me, Mr. Hawkins, now that you’re here, what exactly do you think you can say to me?”
Charlene made it perfectly clear—whatever remained of their father-daughter relationship was gone.
Henley faltered, still searching for words, when Stewart’s laughter rang out from behind him. “He’s right, Mr. Hawkins. After everything that’s happened, what could you possibly have to say to Charlene now?”
Henley’s brow furrowed. “Mr. Ferguson, this is between me and Charlene—”
“Charlene?” Stewart scoffed. “You’re suddenly on such familiar terms? Funny, I don’t recall you calling her that in front of anyone else.”
Charlene had said everything that needed to be said.
She wasn’t interested in dragging this out any longer. Turning to Stewart, she said, “Let’s go.”
Henley saw the cold indifference in her eyes and realized, maybe for the first time, that she truly no longer saw him as her father.
Without another glance, Charlene headed upstairs.

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...
