Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 372

Granger Harden snapped back to reality, offering a small smile and a shake of his head. "Oh, it's nothing," he assured her.

After wrapping up his conversation with Granger, Charlene Ross received a call from Stewart Ferguson later that afternoon.

"Just got word from our lawyer," Stewart began. "Turns out Vesta Hawkins still won't budge on breaking the contract. She's willing to pay a hefty sum for reputational damages, but I didn't accept it. Since we can't come to terms, I've instructed the lawyer to proceed with legal action."

Charlene nodded through the phone. "Alright, got it."

With that settled, Stewart added, "Thorne Henderson is dropping by the office tomorrow for a meeting. Livingston can handle the first part of the negotiations, but there's a document you'll need to personally review."

In other words, she would have to meet with Thorne in person the following day. Charlene understood. "Okay, I'll be ready."

The next day, Thorne and Coy arrived at the company in the afternoon.

As Stewart had mentioned, Livingston was the one to initially welcome Thorne. Midway through, Charlene got a message and headed to the conference room.
