Chapter 385

Darleen really liked Charlene?

How could that even be possible?

If it were true, then everything she said to Darleen yesterday-

Remembering how Darleen had left their conversation midway, her heart sank

once more.

Perhaps noticing her troubled expression, Thorne asked with concern, "Hey, what's up? You feeling okay?"

Vesta snapped back to reality, forcing a smile, "No, I'm fine, really."

That day, she shared the news with her family.

When the Spencer family and the Hawkins family heard that Darleen liked Charlene enough to consider her as a daughter-in-law, they were in absolute disbelief.

"Charlene's been married and has a kid, plus her background's nothing special; Stewart's got a great family and a thriving career. How could the Fergusons possibly agree to this? Did Mr. Albright misunderstand something?"

"Exactly," Leah Spencer chimed in, "Or maybe that woman hid her past? The Fergusons probably don't even know she was married before, and that's why-"

Vesta couldn't wrap her head around why the Fergusons would allow Stewart to marry Charlene.

Maybe Charlene really did hide her past and tricked the Fergusons, who knows.

She initially thought if she couldn't talk Stewart out of it, taking it to court wouldn't be a problem.

But if Darleen recorded their conversation yesterday, then a lawsuit might be out of the question.
