Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 538

The morning before PrimeStar's anniversary gala, Thorne had someone deliver an elegant evening gown and a set of jewelry to Vesta.

Everyone in both the Hawkins and Spencer families already knew Thorne planned to take Vesta to the celebration.

When Leah caught sight of the dress and jewelry—price tags reaching well into the millions-she couldn't help but gasp in envy. "Every time my brother-in-law sends gifts, they're outrageously expensive. He really does love spoiling you, Vesta."

Vesta just offered a faint, noncommittal smile, saying nothing.

No one knew her daughter's moods better than Maureen. She'd noticed that Mr. Hawkins had seemed a bit distracted lately as well.

Seeing Vesta's silence, Maureen asked gently, "Vesta, have you been feeling down these past couple of days? Did something happen?"

Ever since learning about Charlene's connection to PrimeStar and Kenton, it was as if all the confidence had been sapped out of Vesta. She was no longer the self- assured woman she used to be.

The only thing that helped her regain her composure was the certainty of Thorne's affection. When she first discovered Thorne had begun to admire Charlene's talents in artificial intelligence, she'd panicked. But when it became clear that Thorne simply appreciated Charlene's ability—while his true feelings were reserved for her, and only her—she managed to convince herself she was irreplaceable in his heart. That reassurance allowed her to breathe easy again. But the events in Jade City, and everything that had happened since, shook her once more.

Now, Thorne's admiration for Charlene seemed to be growing into something more complicated than simple professional respect.

She knew she was still important to Thorne, but with the way he looked at Charlene now, with the respect he openly showed her if he ever found out that PrimeStar was co-founded by both Stewart and Charlene, and that Charlene had been one of Kenton's protégés, would his attitude change completely?
