Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 596

When Charlene entered the conference hall, she saw Granger, whose seat was right next to hers.

He smiled upon seeing her. "Morning."

"Morning," Charlene nodded back.

"I saw the press conference a couple of days ago. Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Just as they finished their exchange, Vesta and Dalton walked in. Granger, of course, knew it was Vesta's birthday; he and Moran had already wished her well in their group chat at midnight. But seeing her in person, and knowing she saw him, he stood up. "Happy birthday."

Vesta felt his words lacked the sincerity of the past; they were merely a polite formality. Her eyes flickered to Charlene sitting beside him, and her own response was equally cool. "Thank you." She added, "The conference is about to start. I should find my seat."

"Right," Granger said, nodding to Dalton as a greeting before sitting down.

Dalton's seat was also in the front row, just not as centrally located. Vesta glanced at their prime positions, then at her own assigned seat. It was in the second-to-last row. She faltered for a second before composing herself and walking calmly to her place.

The conference began shortly after. Throughout the event, PrimeStar was repeatedly praised by government officials, once again stealing the spotlight. Vesta listened as two or three business representatives next to her spoke with undisguised envy.

"PrimeStar is incredible. Their team is so young, yet they've achieved a level of success most of us can only dream of. It's really humbling."
