Divorce Time 138

Chapter 138

Jasmine seemed oblivious to Charlene's cool demeanor, and upon hearing Charlene's words, she felt a sense of relief.

After Vernon handed over his gift to Helena, Charlene also presented hers.

The first gift she handed over was a beautiful tapestry. "This cross-stitch was prepared for you by Irma, with Thorne's help."

Helena accepted it, looked it over for a moment, and it was clear the gift truly touched her heart. She was very pleased and said, "She's thoughtful." Charlene then handed over an emerald jewelry set to Helena: "This is from Thorne"

The quality of the emeralds was exceptional.

Helena really liked it.

But since it was from Thorne, she only glanced at it briefly before closing the lid and setting it aside, remarking coolly, "It's beautiful, thank him for me."

As for whether Thorne would come to wish her a happy birthday today.

She didn't ask a single question.

She couldn't be bothered to ask or even want to ask.

Charlene knew she didn't like Thorne, and while she might have advocated for him in the past, this time, she

refrained.

Instead, she presented her own gift to Helena, which, as Charlene had anticipated, turned out to be Helena's favorite among all the presents: a set of elegant writing tools. Helena was so delighted with them that she immediately went to her study and penned a letter.
