It wasn’t just them—every other bidder, after spotting Charlene and Stewart, had more or less realized their own efforts had been for nothing.
And that’s exactly how things turned out.
While everyone waited, the results of the bid were announced surprisingly quickly. The winner of the Starfall smart transportation project was none other than PrimeStar.
Charlene and Stewart weren’t the least bit surprised. They had more important things to do and had no intention of lingering here.
As Charlene and Stewart walked past, not even sparing them a glance, Henley and Vesta’s faces, already sour, grew even darker.
Since relocating to Starfall, the Hawkins Group had managed to stay afloat thanks to Thorne’s connections. Because of Thorne and Vesta, plenty of people in local business circles knew about their company.
But that was pretty much where it ended—inside the circle. They still hadn’t managed to build any real recognition outside of it.
Previously, the problem had always been their lack of competitive technology. Now, after finally making a breakthrough, this smart city transportation project had seemed like their ticket to broader recognition. If Hawkins Technology could land this contract, their reputation and standing would skyrocket.
Everyone at their company had poured over a month of hard work and resources into this bid, convinced the project was as good as theirs. But now—
After Charlene and Stewart left, Henley and Vesta just sat there, unmoving for a long while.
The Hawkins and Spencer families were both following the bidding closely.
It wasn’t long before Leah couldn’t hold back and called Vesta. “Sis, did they announce the results yet? Did we win?”
Vesta’s voice was cool. “No.”
“No?” Leah frowned. “How is that possible? I mean, sure, there were a few strong contenders, but we—”
“PrimeStar got it.”
They couldn’t just let Charlene run wild.
“It was bad enough when she sabotaged Vesta with Mr. Wagner and Stewart, but now she’s interfering with our company’s future. If she keeps targeting us like this—”
“I know,” Henley interrupted. “I’ll find a chance to talk to her.”
This was too important to ignore.
In fact, when Charlene and Stewart had been about to leave, he’d almost called out to her—but with so many people around, he’d held back.
The next day, Charlene arrived at PrimeStar for work. She’d just stepped out of her car in the parking lot when Henley got out of his own and called her name.
“Charlene.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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?...
