Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 461

After her assistant left, Vesta felt a growing weight settle over her.

Technology was the lifeblood of the company.

With Axiom Flux Technologies blazing a trail ahead of them, if Neural Nexus Tech wanted even a foothold in the autonomous vehicle market, they’d have to achieve another technological breakthrough—something even more significant than before.

But breakthroughs like that were nearly impossible to force.

So far, she’d already poured six or seven hundred million dollars into Neural Nexus Tech.

But now, with Axiom Flux Technologies stirring up the waters, the future of Neural Nexus Tech looked more uncertain than ever. If she kept investing, and Neural Nexus Tech failed to deliver a breakthrough that truly made waves, it would be like tossing a billion—maybe even two billion—straight down the drain.

And yet, the idea of giving up here made her stomach twist with frustration.

Should she press forward, or cut her losses?

Her thoughts wandered to Thorne.

But even someone as brilliant as him couldn’t guarantee the company would achieve the kind of breakthrough they needed, could he? Even if she asked, he’d never be able to give her a truly definitive answer.

Vesta sat there for a long while, lost in thought, until her assistant knocked and entered again, snapping her back to reality. She realized it was already midday.

“Mr. Hawkins, shall I arrange lunch for you?” her assistant asked.

Vesta glanced at her phone, saying nothing.

She was sure Thorne understood the blow Axiom Flux Technologies had dealt to Neural Nexus Tech even more clearly than she did. Given how well she knew him, he’d probably already guessed how Mr. Black, Mr. Falconer, and the others were feeling about Neural Nexus Tech right now.

She needed him now more than ever.

Yet, since she’d had dinner with Mr. Black yesterday, Thorne hadn’t reached out to her once.

She remembered how, at the press conference yesterday, Thorne’s attention had been completely fixed on Charlene onstage—as if he’d forgotten Vesta even existed. The memory twisted in her chest, sharp and uncomfortable.

Maybe, just like her, he still hadn’t recovered from the impact Charlene made at that press conference.

***

Charlene had been working nonstop all day. It was after five when her phone finally rang.

It was Jasmine Henderson calling.

She glanced at the screen, hesitated, and answered, “Hey, Minnie. What’s up?”

“Mom, school’s almost out for summer! There’s a parents’ meeting tomorrow. Will you come with me? Please?”
