Divorce Time

Chapter 136

After walking a bit farther, Felix finally asked, “Is there some kind of misunderstanding between you guys and the Hawkins?”

Stewart and Charlene exchanged glances, with Charlene replying, “No.”

Because it wasn’t just a misunderstanding.

Felix, however, took her words the wrong way, thinking she meant there was truly no beef with the Hawkins family,

“That’s good to hear.” He was quite optimistic about PrimeStar and said earnestly, “Given how much Thorne values Ms. Hawkins, the Hawkins family is set for a meteoric rise. You don’t want to mess with the likes of the Hendersons or Thorne. So, even if you’re not cozying up to the Hawkins, it’s best not to cross them.”

Hearing this, Charlene couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony.

The idea that she’d be advised to make nice with her husband’s mistress, to not cross the woman he’s taken a fancy to, seemed to be a situation unique to her in the whole wide world.

Stewart couldn’t stand the conversation either.

“We at PrimeStar aren’t afraid of Thorne,” he declared.

Thanks to certain connections, their company had always enjoyed government protection.

Thorne had been unable to influence PrimeStar for some time, and with the projects they were currently spearheading, Stewart was confident they’d soon secure substantial government support.

By next year, their company’s market presence was expected to soar, making Thorne even less of a threat to PrimeStar.

So, when he said they weren’t afraid, he wasn’t just blowing smoke.
