Chapter 514

That evening, Charlene headed to the airport with the rest of her family, ready to fly back to Starfall.

They were flying business class.

Jasmine and Carl had window seats on the right side of the cabin, while Charlene and Helena sat together in the center-left section.

With Carl and Jasmine looking after each other, Charlene took the opportunity to help Helena adjust her seat.

She was in the middle of a quiet conversation with Helena when Maureen, Georgina, and the rest of the Spencer family approached from the aisle.

"But as soon as Irma recovered, my brother-in-law didn't even wait for my sister to mention it-he immediately arranged to sign the divorce papers with a certain someone. I used to worry because that someone kept dragging their feet, but my sister said she trusted her husband to handle things. Turns out, she was right."
