Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)

Speakily glancing at Vesta while hastily retreating to lean against the wall, Charlene's colleagues were intimidated.

Vesta caught a glimpse of Charlene too, but she quickly looked away, unimpressed, and headed to the elevator surrounded by a group

of managers.

Charlene's colleagues sighed with relief before eagerly diving into gossip as the elevator doors closed.

"Was that Mr. Henderson's girlfriend? Wow, she's stunning and draped in designer brands. They must cost a fortune, right? No wonder she carries herself with elegance and confidence, a true mark of the elite. She's simply in a different league compared to us." "Absolutely!"

They then quietly asked Charlene, "What do you think, Charlene?"

Looking down, Charlene said, "Yes."

Vesta was the bastard daughter of Charlene's father. Calling Vesta a product of an affair might not be entirely accurate. After all, when Charlene was eight, her father, determined not to let Vesta and her mother suffer, divorced Charlene's mother to marry Vesta's mother instead.

After the divorce, Charlene lived with her mentally ill mother and was raised by her grandmother and uncle.

Over the years, while her uncle's business faltered, the Hawkins family's enterprises thrived.

People said to compensate for Vesta's difficult childhood, her father spared no expense in giving her the best of everything and invested a fortune in her upbringing.

And, living up to expectations, Vesta was exceptionally accomplished. Thus, the once illegitimate daughter, Vesta, was then a legitimate heiress of a wealthy family. Having lived the life of an heiress for over a decade, Vesta exuded an aura of nobility that even Charlene, the original heiress, couldn't

match.

Charlene had thought her childhood ties with Vesta would end their association. But fate seemed to favor Vesta particularly.

Charlene and Thorne were childhood friends, but no matter how hard she tried, Thorne never saw her the way he instantly fell for Vesta at first sight.

"Charlene, are you okay?" Seeing Charlene's pale face, her colleagues grew concerned.

Charlene snapped back to reality. "I'm fine."

She and Thorne were nearing their divorce, and whoever Thorne would love from then on would have nothing to do with her.

That day, Charlene didn't dwell on the matter between Thorne and Vesta any further.

She worked overtime until around nine, and her phone rang as she was wrapping up. It was her best friend, Connie, calling to say she had drunk too much and needed Charlene to pick her up.

Charlene quickly finished her work, grabbed her car keys, and left the office. Twenty minutes later, Charlene arrived at the destination. As she was walking toward the entrance, a little girl appeared from the parking area on the other side.noveldrama

Charlene froze at the sight of the girl's familiar profile. She thought, 'Minnie? Shouldn't Minnie be studying in Goldland? Why is she here? Has she returned with Thorne?'

Although Charlene's job didn't grant her access to the company's confidential documents, she knew Thorne's project in Goldland would take some more time to wrap up.

She thought Thorne's return was a brief trip for business matters. She hadn't expected her daughter to come back with him.

Charlene wasn't sure when they had returned, but considering she saw Thorne that morning, they must have been back for at least a day. Yet, Jasmine hadn't called her to inform her of their return.

With those thoughts, Charlene tightened her grip on her purse, watching the joyfully skipping figure ahead, and quietly followed.
