“I wasn’t involved in the company’s later development,” Thorne said, his voice calm.
At that, Lean turned to Vesta, surprise flickering across his face. “Wait, Vesta, you’re that talented?”
Vesta shook her head. “Not really. The credit goes to the engineers. Most of them were already with the company before I took over. If the company’s doing well now, as you said, it’s all thanks to Thorne. I can’t really take much credit for it.”
Lean grinned. “You’re far too modest, Vesta.”
When Lean first heard that Vesta owed her career to Thorne’s generosity, he’d thought she wasn’t really all that remarkable, maybe even a little mismatched for Thorne.
But listening to them now—watching the way Thorne and Vesta spoke up for each other—he started to reconsider. Maybe Thorne really saw Vesta as an expert in her field, someone even more specialized than himself when it came to AI. Perhaps he’d handed the company to her because he believed she could lead it even further than he ever could.
After all, Thorne was known for his generosity—and his humility.
It made perfect sense that he’d do something like this.
Vesta caught Lean’s compliment and quickly shook her head. “No, really, I’m not just being modest…”
Soon, the conversation shifted and they moved on to lighter topics, swapping funny stories about their time in Goldland.
They’d all studied abroad there, so there was plenty of common ground, and Vesta, ever the natural conversationalist, found it easy to connect with Lean—even though this was their first real meeting. By the end of dinner, everyone was relaxed and at ease, laughter flowing freely. In fact, at times, Vesta and Lean seemed to get on even better than Lean and Thorne did.
Lean was only in town for business with his father, and he’d be heading back home tomorrow.
After dinner, with other plans still ahead of him, Lean stood to leave.

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...
