Chapter 60
In Laverne’s eyes, Charlene was envious because Vesta had snagged Thorne from her, leading her to sabotage Vesta’s opportunity at -PrimeStar.
With no real talent or education, Charlene seemed to thrive on creating drama. That thought alone made Laverne find the whole situation laughably pathetic. She figured she wasn’t alone in this opinion. Thorne probably saw it the same way.
Unfortunately, Charlene was blissfully unaware of this, probably still patting herself on the back for messing up Vesta’s chance.
Thinking of Vesta’s brilliance compared to Charlene, Laverne felt there was no contest.
Henley sighed, “I know.”
He shared Laverne’s viewpoint. “But she won’t listen.”
“She’s just so…”
Stubborn, just like her mother. Laverne held her tongue on saying that part. After all, it was never nice to talk about that woman.
“About the project…”
“Let’s wait for Vesta to get back and ask her,” Henley suggested, concerned.
They had poured much money into Al over the years, but their company’s products lacked cutting–edge technology, resulting in mediocre growth.
On the other hand, PrimeStar raked in millions annually from the project, even without effort. Who wouldn’t be envious?
If they could unravel the project’s core technology and integrate it into their current projects, their company’s worth could skyrocket to billions soon.
As they were mulling over this, Vesta walked in.
Seeing Henley and Laverne, she greeted, “Dad, Aunt Laverne.”
“Vesta, you’re back?” Laverne’s face broke into a smile, her affection and respect for Vesta as clear as a bell.
Vesta nodded, sitting down. “What were you guys talking about?”
“The project,” Henley replied. “Without a way into PrimeStar, what’s your plan? Did Mr. Henderson say anything?” Mesta said, “Thorne said he’d reach out to Kenton for me.”
Kenton was a leading figure in the Al industry, highly regarded by the government and elusive to the public.
Stewart, one of Kenton’s few direct disciples, had developed the project. Since the Stewart route was a dead end to them, they had to try their luck with Kenton.
“That’s good,” Henley smiled, though with a hint of worry. “Stewart, being Kenton’s student, might have spoken ill of you to Kenton. Could that…”
“I doubt it,” Laverne interjected with a smile. “Henley, you underestimate how much Kenton values talent. Vesta’s a genius. With her skills in Al, I’m sure she’ll impress Kenton if she gets a chance to meet him. Who knows, Kenton might even make an exception and take her as his direct disciple.”
Henley chuckled. “That would be something.”
Laverne asked, “Did Mr. Henderson mention when you might meet Mr. Wagner?”
Vesta sipped her water, replying casually, “At the Future Tech Expo next week. Mr. Wagner is said to be attending.”
They were all familiar with the Future Tech Expo. However, their company wasn’t high–profile enough in the industry to secure an invite from the government. But with Thorne’s help, they were hopeful.
Henley and Laverne turned toward Vesta in anticipation.
Vesta mentioned, “Thorne got me two tickets, but there are only two.”
“It’s fine. It doesn’t matter who goes with you. What matters is that you go.” Laverne smiled, “Exactly.”

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...
