Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 696

"I told him," Vesta said.

"And Thorne—?" Leah started.

Vesta gave her a brief rundown of the conversation.

"That's it? Is that… all?" Leah asked, her voice trailing off in disbelief.

"That's all."

Leah froze for a moment before the reality of the situation sank in. "So… he doesn't want to help us?"

Maureen Spencer and the others remained silent. Thorne's reluctance was as good as a no.

Leah couldn't help but voice their shared fear. "If Thorne won't help, then… then we—"

They would have to raise the money themselves. As for how, that would mean selling off some of their properties to cover the emergency. The liquid capital they'd had on hand was already invested right before Christmas.

Maureen's expression had been grim, but she'd since composed herself. "This is just a temporary setback," she said calmly. "There's still a chance for Vesta and Thorne. Things will turn around."

Leah bit her lip. "But… but…"

But Thorne seemed to be growing more and more indifferent toward Vesta. In contrast, he was reportedly getting closer to Charlene. Rumor had it that he'd spent Christmas with the Ross family, a first for him, and that Charlene had even stayed with him at their marital home over the holiday.

Now, when her sister went to him for help, he completely ignored her. Under these circumstances, was there really any chance left for them?
