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.

The Spencers spotted Charlene and her family, greeting them not with surprise but with a thin, knowing smile. Clearly, they'd known the Ross family had returned to Yaleborough—and were just as aware they'd be taking this same flight back to Starfall.

Leah fixed her gaze on Charlene, a smirk curling on her lips. She turned deliberately to her grandmother and aunt, raising her voice, "You know, some people spent every day at the hospital acting all devoted while Irma was sick, thinking they could cozy up to her and win points with my brother-in-law-like that'd keep him from filing for divorce."

She paused, letting her words hang in the air. "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."

It was obvious to everyone that Leah's words were meant for Charlene and her family.
