Divorce Time

Chapter 291

Charlene and Nadine had just finished setting off some fireworks with Helena and the others when they decided to head out.

Their destination was the Starfall Broadcast Tower.

The tower was renowned for offering a spectacular view of the entire Starfall cityscape at night.

On New Year’s Eve, it also hosted dazzling light shows and various performances

By the time they arrived at the tower, a crowd had already gathered, and the air was filled with laughter and chatter.

The light show hadn’t started yet.

Carl had planned to meet up with a few of his classmates at the tower to ring in the New Year together.

Shortly after they arrived, Carl’s friends joined them.

Seeing Charlene and Nadine, Carl’s friends respectfully greeted them and couldn’t help but whisper to Carl, “Your cousin’s really pretty! Super pretty!”

“Of course she is!” Carl replied with a grin.

The group of young people joked around, snapping selfies and recording videos on their phones.

Charlene and Nadine stayed on the sidelines, not wanting to interrupt their fun.

Just then, Charlene’s phone buzzed.

It was a message from Granger: “Are you at the tower for the light show tonight?”

Charlene wasn’t sure why he was asking, but she replied, “We’re already here. What’s up?”

Granger responded quickly: “Daisy and I are on our way there too.”

“Well, what a coincidence,” Charlene thought.

Granger didn’t send any more messages after that.
