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.

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 really cried over it either.

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."
