Divorce Time 253

Chapter 253

Charlene turned to Thorne and said, "My uncle mentioned that someone from The Henderson Group reached out to him, looking to collaborate on a project."

Thorne was about to respond when Charlene continued, "I know you want to repay me and my grandmother for visiting your grandmother in the hospital, and you think this is a way to show gratitude. But we didn't do it for you, so there's no need for any projects." If they started doing business with The Henderson Group, both the Hawkins and Spencer families would undoubtedly cause a stir and create problems.

Even if Thorne genuinely wanted to thank her and her grandmother by offering a project to help her uncle, his heart truly belonged to Vesta.

One day, if he wavered, this favor could become a vulnerability. Any consequences would still fall on the Ross family. She couldn't afford to accept such a project.

She said coolly, "You can rest assured, after the divorce, we'll go our separate ways. I won't cling to you anymore."

To her, this was just another way for Thorne to draw a line between them.

He was eager to set boundaries, afraid she might cling to him.

But she wouldn't anymore.
