NovelApexChapter 501
Thorne and Charlene had known each other for years and had been married for just as long, yet Thorne had
never truly liked her. So even if there was a child involved, the very idea of Thorne and Charlene going out to
dinner alone wouldn't raise any alarms-neither the Spencers nor the Hawkins would ever suspect that anything
romantic could happen between them.
Leah's overreaction was purely because she just couldn't stand Charlene.
Maureen and Georgina, on the other hand, barely batted an eye.
Maureen had no intention of disturbing Thorne in the private dining room. She gave Leah a gentle pat, signaling
her to stop talking, then turned to the manager. "Could you show us the way, please?"
With that, she didn't spare Charlene another glance. Linking arms with Katie Hawkins, she followed the manager
into another private room.
Charlene might have real talent in the Al field, and the fact that she'd managed to win over Stewart Ferguson-
and keep his unwavering loyalty was no small feat.
But when it cto Thorne, Charlene meant absolutely nothing.
So Maureen and Georgina genuinely didn't care about Thorne having dinner with Charlene. They couldn't even
be bothered to tell Vesta about it.
Leah, on the other hand, got annoyed the moment she saw Charlene. She didn't actually believe Charlene could

Thorne one-on-one, would try anything to cbetween Thorne and Vesta.
The moment Leah sat down in their own private room, she fired off a message to Vesta:
*Sis, you won't believe who we just saw at the hotel-her, that witch, having dinner with your husband! And of
course, she brought her daughter along too.*
Vesta rarely replied to Leah's texts.
But this message was about Thorne, so she responded right away:
* know. Thorne told me. *
Leah relaxed as soon as she read it.
*Good. | was worried she'd try to stir up trouble, but if he's telling you everything, then I'm not worried. *
Vesta didn't reply again.

much. s
But then cthe bombshells: Charlene was Kenton's protégé, and a major shareholder in PrimeStar These
revelations had rattled Vesta shaking her confidence for days. s
Now, though, she'd made her peace with it. Aside from professional ability, she
was on equal footing with Charlene in every other way.
So seeing Thorne and Charlene meet up didn't bother her anymore.

She had to admit, even the best of the Sanderson girls couldn't compare to Charlene's capabilities.
If Thorne ever found out that
Charlene was Kenton's student, and
that thestar projects he
