Divorce Time

Chapter 99

When Charlene realized it was Vesta who answered the call, she wasn’t the least bit surprised.

After all, she and Thorne were so close, practically inseparable.

So what if she answered Thorne’s phone?

Vesta, recognizing Charlene’s voice on the other end, replied icily, “He’s taking a shower. If you need something, ‘you can tell me.”

Tell her?

Indeed, the matter did concern her.

The person her uncle spotted in the neighborhood today was none other than Vesta’s aunt, but the one who bought that mansion might very well be Henley.

His purchase of the mansion was likely a gesture of goodwill towards Vesta’s grandmother, his mother–in–law

now.

So, if Charlene really did tell Vesta, would she stop her grandmother and uncle from moving into that mansion? No, she wouldn’t.

Besides, Charlene couldn’t believe that Vesta was unaware of her uncle’s family planning to move across from their mansion.

Therefore, telling Vesta would be pointless and could even backfire.
