Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 51
09.52
Chapter 51
When Charlene walked in, the room went silent, every pair of eyes fixed on her in awe.
Too thrilled to remain seated, someone stood up and rushed to ask, “Mr. Ferguson, is this stunning lady our new colleague?”
“Word does get around, doesn’t it?” Stewart chuckled, turning to introduce Charlene. “This is Charlene Ross. She’s joining our company-”
Raleigh cut him off and suddenly blurted, “Did you give up on Vesta because of her, Mr. Ferguson?”
Stewart paused a moment, then nodded, “Yeah. I was thinking of giving you the rundown later…”
Before he could finish, Raleigh turned to Charlene, saying, “Vesta just got her PhD from one of the top ten universities, and she’s only 25. If Ms. Ross managed to get her spot here at PrimeStar, her resume must be even more impressive, right?”
The word around was that Stewart had personal reasons for not hiring Vesta, who had not revealed the real causes.
Raleigh had seen Charlene hugging Stewart downstairs earlier, which led him to believe her hiring at PrimeStar was due to personal connections.
Despite the company’s reputation for attracting top talent, having a resume like Vesta’s was rare, even nationally. He doubted Charlene’s achievements could surpass hers.
Without waiting for Charlene to respond, he sneered, “But then, Ms. Ross does look quite young. People might think you haven’t even graduated with your PhD yet.”
Stewart had planned to talk with Raleigh about not hiring Vesta later. After all, Charlene and Vesta’s issue wasn’t something they could discuss in such a public setting. But he hadn’t expected Raleigh to lash out like that.
Frowning, Stewart began, “Raleigh-”
But Raleigh felt Stewart was trying to cover for Charlene and loudly cut him off, “Mr. Ferguson, I was talking to Ms. Ross.”
He pressed Charlene, “Is it that hard to answer about your education? Or does Mr. Ferguson need to speak for you? Or is it that you haven’t been in a PhD program? Or perhaps the institution you attended isn’t ranked high enough to mention?” Charlene calmly replied, “Indeed, I haven’t pursued a PhD, but-”
Raleigh laughed, feeling like his guesses had hit the mark. Not every woman could measure up to Vesta’s achievements.
He scoffed, interrupting Charlene before she could finish, “But what? You’re going to say even without a PhD, your knowledge doesn’t fall short? What gives you that illusion? Just because men have flattered you for your looks, you think you have real talent?” That was the last straw for Stewart, who burst out, “Raleigh!”
While skepticism was one thing, Raleigh’s remarks insulted Charlene! How could he not be furious?
Raleigh removed his ID badge from around his neck. “I resign.”
“You!” Stewart was stunned by Raleigh’s impulsiveness.
Raleigh looked back at him. “Mr. Ferguson, I always thought you valued talent and could separate personal from professional. But I was wrong.”
With that, Raleigh turned and left.
Not one to lose his temper easily, Stewart called after him, “Take some time to cool off. When you’re ready to return, you’re always welcome-”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
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...
