Divorce Time

Chapter 147

Kenton replied with a simple, “Sure.”

Thorne nodded, then turned to look at Charlene and asked, “Heading back tonight?”

Charlene, still pondering over the conversation she had with Kenton, took a moment to realize Thorne was speaking to her. “No,” she said after a brief pause.

“Got it,” Thorne responded, standing up. “I’ll swing by later to pick up Minnie.”

That was his cue to leave.

Charlene responded coolly, “Okay.”

Without further ado, Thorne approached Helena, “Ma’am, I’ve got to run some errands, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Helena remained seated, her tone just as cold, “Take care, no need for formalities.”

Thorne didn’t seem bothered by Helena’s indifference. He gave Vernon a nod, a silent goodbye, and then made his way out of the banquet hall.

Granger, watching Thorne exit the hotel, paused in his step towards his car.

Thorne swiftly got into his car and drove off.
