Everyone had heard that Mr. Henderson’s girlfriend was a PhD from an elite international university—a tech prodigy, so the rumors went.
But then, if she was such a prodigy, why hadn’t anyone ever heard of anything she’d actually accomplished?
Sure, Neural Nexus Tech had made some impressive breakthroughs recently, but most people figured that was just Thorne’s lingering influence from his time there. It couldn’t have had much to do with Vesta herself, could it?
Meanwhile, Charlene had never boasted about being a genius. Yet, today, she’d stunned everyone with her brilliance.
Looking at it now, maybe Mr. Henderson’s girlfriend’s “genius” reputation wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
No one said it out loud, but the sideways glances, the way people kept eyeing Vesta and Charlene, made their skepticism unmistakable. Vesta would’ve had to be blind not to notice.
Her complexion had already been pale, but now she looked even worse.
Seeing everyone compare her to Charlene, watching their silent doubt flicker across their faces, Vesta clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.
She might not have invented any groundbreaking tech, but her academic credentials were real—no one had the right to question that.
Still, with no one voicing their doubts, she had no opportunity to defend herself. Whatever indignation she felt had nowhere to go.
And when it came to actual academic achievements…
She thought of Charlene’s recent, internationally praised research paper and the way Charlene had dazzled everyone at the press conference today.
Vesta had to admit, when it came to academic accomplishments, she could no longer compete with Charlene.
She stood frozen in place, her face ashen.
Thorne, having finished greeting a few acquaintances, turned to her. “Let’s go,” he said quietly.
Vesta forced a weak smile. “Alright…”
She took a moment to collect herself, then greeted Mr. Ashcroft and a few other familiar business contacts with a composed expression before walking out of the venue beside Thorne. They politely nodded to people as they left the press conference.
Outwardly, Vesta maintained her calm, but inside, she was still a storm of emotions.
Thorne, on the other hand, seemed to have left the press conference behind without a second thought.
He spoke in his usual, even tone. “Mr. Black’s team has been fully vetted, right? No issues?”

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...
