Divorce Time 288

Chapter 288

Claudia and the others arrived home, expecting to find Charlene, but she was nowhere in sight. They assumed she must have gone to the airport with Thorne to pick someone up.

Irma seemed to have an inkling but chose to stay silent.

After dinner, Jasmine played by herself for a while. Feeling a bit bored, she decided to give Charlene a call, even though she wasn't expecting much.

Charlene wasn't one to let herself take it easy, even during a holiday. When Jasmine called, Charlene was absorbed in going through the materials Kenton had provided. When she saw Jasmine's name flash on her phone, she realized it had been almost a month since their last conversation. She quickly picked up and answered, "Hello?"
