Divorce Time 282

Chapter 282

As Granger's eyes landed on Charlene amidst the bustling party scene, he noticed her calm demeanor even as Thorne and Vesta approached. With a slight, knowing smile, he said, "I'll be right back." Charlene and Stewart nodded in acknowledgment.

Granger exchanged a few words with Thorne and Vesta before Dalton arrived. Spotting Vesta, Dalton instinctively gravitated towards her.

"Ms. Hawkins," he greeted her with a polite nod.

"Mr. Ramirez," she replied, returning his smile.

Dalton had been swamped with work lately, and seeing Vesta after this hiatus brought a familiar admiration to his eyes. He subtly took in her presence before turning to greet Granger and Thorne. PrimeStar was currently a vital partner for The Ramirez Group, and Dalton was well aware of the stakes. After a brief chat with Granger, he made his way over to Stewart, initiating a greeting. Once done, Dalton turned to Charlene, addressing her with a measured, "Ms. Ross."

Charlene responded with a silent smile.

The invitations for PrimeStar's gala had been distributed, but The Ramirez Group had been noticeably excluded. Dalton only discovered this oversight earlier that evening.

It seemed likely that PrimeStar wouldn't attend The Ramirez Group's upcoming event either.

This realization brought a frown to Dalton's face.

Charlene and Stewart seemed to have little interest in engaging with him further. Stewart remarked, "Mr. Ramirez, we're off to catch up with some old friends. Feel free to mingle." Before Dalton could respond, they turned and left. He knew well enough that they weren't keen on extending the conversation.

His dislike for Dalton was barely disguised. Dalton pursed his lips, feeling a bit miffed but without grounds to press the matter, he watched
