Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 843

Charlene nodded. "I hear you." She stood up. "Excuse me for a moment."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Dalton wanted to say more, but seeing her reaction, he swallowed his words.

He had thought she might accept his apology, or perhaps respond with biting sarcasm.

But her actual reaction completely caught him off guard.

She seemed to have accepted his apology.

But that was all she did.

There was no forgiveness, no lingering emotion. Just nothing.

Charlene quickly seamlessly blended back into the group's conversation.

Dr. Wagner, Charlene, and Stewart still had matters to attend to. After dinner and a cup of tea, they soon took their leave.

In the car, Charlene was discussing business with Dr. Wagner and Stewart when her phone suddenly rang.

It was an unknown number.

Charlene stared at the screen for a second before answering.

"Charlene, it's me, I—"

It was Henley's voice. The moment Charlene recognized it, she hung up without hesitation and immediately blocked the number.

Stewart saw her reaction and raised an eyebrow. "Henley?"

"Yeah."

Stewart's lips curled. He didn't even have to try to guess why Henley was calling her.

Unsure if he was simply unaware of the previous night's events, Dr. Wagner didn't interject as they briefly went off-topic.

After blocking the call, Charlene steered the conversation back to their earlier discussion.

Meanwhile.

Staring at his disconnected phone, Henley immediately tried calling back. But this time, the call wouldn't even go through...

Rhoda was in a state of sheer panic. "With an attitude like that, they're determined to ruin us completely."

If they truly pushed this to the bitter end, with their accounts frozen, none of their current projects could proceed. On top of the millions in damages, the penalty fees for breaching their other contracts would be an astronomical sum.

Katie's face was grim.

If this was just about the Ross family, they might have had a way out by applying pressure there.

But now, Charlene had PrimeStar Technologies. Furthermore, she was a student of Dr. Wagner, and was close personal friends with heavyweights like Geoffrey.

Let alone them, even the Henderson family wouldn't dare make a move against Charlene right now.

Georgina and the rest had naturally realized this as well.

Ever since she learned that Charlene was a major shareholder of PrimeStar and a student of Dr. Wagner, a suffocating wave of despair had gripped Georgina's heart, refusing to let go.

She never would have dreamed that Charlene could climb to such unimaginable heights...

It wasn't just her. Maureen, Henley, and even Vesta were still reeling from the revelation that Charlene was Dr. Wagner's student and a co-founder of PrimeStar.
