Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 421

At noon, Charlene arrived at the restaurant with Thorne and the rest of their group. Just as they reached the door of their private dining room, the door to the room next door swung open.

As if determined to make sure everyone heard, Leah Spencer called out loudly to Thorne, "Hey, brother-in-law!"

When Vesta appeared as well, Professor Hancock grinned. "Well, Ms. Hawkins, fancy running into you here! What a coincidence."

Vesta smiled politely. "Yes, quite the coincidence."

But despite her words, this meeting was anything but accidental.

Everyone in their families already knew that Thorne and Charlene had finalized their divorce papers at city hall that morning. Upon learning that both would be at this restaurant for lunch, Leah had deliberately arranged for their table to be directly across from Thorne and Charlene's private room.

That's how this "coincidence" came to be.

Leah could barely contain her glee thinking about how, the moment her brother-in- law finished sorting out the divorce agreement, he'd immediately asked Charlene to meet him at city hall to file the paperwork. What thrilled her even more was that, in just thirty days, Thorne and Charlene's divorce would be official. Then, surely, her sister and Thorne could formally get married-at last, Charlene would be out of the picture for good!

Leah couldn't help but cast a smug glance at Charlene.

Vesta, for her part, had never openly pressured Thorne to get divorced, but to say she wasn't anxious would have been a lie. Even as confident as she was in her relationship with Thorne, as long as he was still married to Charlene, their feelings -no matter how deep-meant nothing in the eyes of the world.

So when Thorne told her on Saturday that he'd resolved all the terms of the divorce agreement and had arranged for Charlene to go to city hall on Monday, how could she not have been delighted?

In truth, it wasn't just the two of them; the rest of the Hawkins and Spencer families were equally overjoyed.

Katie Hawkins barely spared Charlene a glance before looking away as if she were invisible.

Georgina Spencer's smile never left her face.

Vesta said to Thorne, "Go on, don't let us keep you."
