Leah was still fuming. The plane had barely lifted off when she flagged down a flight attendant and ordered a drink.
As soon as the attendant stepped away, Leah fixed her eyes on Charlene. Hiding the drink behind her back, she marched straight down the aisle toward her.
Maureen had already guessed Leah would try something.
So, before Leah could get too close, Maureen was watching her.
She furrowed her brow and gave Leah a silent shake of her head.
Leah’s anger simmered—there was no way she’d back down that easily.
Maureen’s expression turned icy. She picked up her phone and sent Leah a curt message: *Sit back down. Now.*
Maureen didn’t need to say it out loud; as Leah read the text, she could almost feel the weight of Maureen’s authority.
Georgina, sitting between Maureen and Leah, saw it all and understood what Leah was up to.
She reached over and gave Leah’s hand a gentle, warning pat, urging her to behave.
Leah pouted, sulking openly.
But in the Hawkins family, Maureen and Vesta were the unchallenged authorities.
Leah was used to following their lead.
So, after shooting Charlene one last glare, she spun on her heel and trudged back to her seat, grumbling under her breath.
Jasmine, oblivious to the tension between Charlene and Leah before takeoff, didn’t notice any of this.
Once the plane touched down in Starfall and came to a stop, Jasmine couldn’t wait to dash over to Charlene. “Mom!”
Charlene ruffled Jasmine’s hair. “Did you behave on the flight?”
“I did!” Jasmine beamed.
Charlene and Maureen sat across the aisle from each other.
Seeing Jasmine come over, Maureen glanced at her, expression unreadable.
Not just Maureen—Georgina and Leah in the row in front, and Katie behind, all turned to look at Jasmine.
As Jasmine chatted quietly with Charlene, she glanced Maureen’s way and met her gaze for a brief, tense moment.
Maureen’s look was cold and impassive as she turned away.
Jasmine didn’t know Maureen or Katie. Among the Spencer and Hawkins families, Jasmine only recognized Vesta and Leah.
So, when she caught the chill in Maureen’s eyes, Jasmine simply assumed she was a stranger and thought nothing of it. She noticed Katie watching her too, but didn’t give it a second thought.

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?...
