Divorce Time 254

Chapter 254

Rhoda was all worked up. "I heard that ever since Irma got hurt a few days ago, Thorne, Charlene, and the whole Ross family have been pretty tight. Someone even spotted Thorne having dinner with that old lady from the Rosses yesterday. They're not trying to rekindle an old flame, are they?"

"They never had a flame to rekindle," Vesta replied calmly, clearly not a fan of Rhoda's choice of words.

Seeing Rhoda so worked up, Vesta decided to explain, "Irma has always been close with the Ross family. Thorne needs to keep Charlene and the old Ross lady on his side, so they can visit Irma. That way, Irma won't use her injury as leverage to force Thorne to break up with me."

Rhoda was surprised to hear this.

When Irma had her fall, she had already kicked their families out of Henderson Group. Both families were anxious that Irma might demand Thorne's breakup with Vesta as a condition to agree to the surgery. They feared Thorne might give in.

Now that Thorne and Vesta seemed fine, Rhoda had assumed that Thorne had managed to talk Irma into it. It turned out he had sorted things out through the Ross family instead.
