Divorce Time 131

Chapter 131

Dang it!" Connie was fuming, itching to go up and give Vesta a piece of her mind.

"Why is she acting so high and mighty? She's just a homewrecker's daughter, and she's no better herself. Thinks she's the belle of the ball? She's nothing but trouble, ugh!"

Charlene poured her another glass of water, asking, "Belle of the ball?"

"Vesta. Just like Dalton's buddy, Kelvin Scott, was saying. All these trust fund kids with more money than sense are totally smitten with her. Now, everyone's calling her the 'belle of the ball. Like she's Miss Popular or something!" Connie kept ranting, "And it's not just those airheads saying it, even Thorne and Dalton-"

She caught herself, realizing Charlene might be hurt by this, and abruptly stopped: "I mean, Charlene, I just..."

Charlene shook her head, "I'm fine."

From the days when folks like Henley, Laverne, and Katie switched sides to Vesta, to Thorne falling head over heels for her, to Jasmine wanting her as a mom...

She never shared how she felt about all these events with anyone.

She never really cried over it either.

If she was going to break down, any of those moments would've been more than enough reason.

But years have passed, and she's still standing.

Compared to all that, what's Dalton and his friends to her?

Hearing Dalton and his buddy's words, she was unfazed.

Connie paused, then hugged her, "Charlene..."

Charlene managed a smile, saying, "It's getting late. Let's head back."
