Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 765

When ordering, Corinne Lancaster took the initiative to select two or three dishes Granger Harden usually liked.

"Thanks for the thought, Ms. Lancaster," Granger said coldly. "But I'm not interested in those tonight. I'll order for myself."

Being rejected so bluntly didn't make Corinne awkward or discouraged. Just as she was about to keep talking to him, Granger looked at Thorne Henderson and deliberately shifted the topic. "Why didn't Minnie come along?"

"Minnie went to see her mother," Thorne replied.

Hearing that, Granger paused, nodded, and then started discussing the current global business climate with Thorne.

Anyone with eyes could see that whether he was asking about Jasmine or talking business, Granger was doing it to block Corinne from getting a word in.

Moreover, Granger looked at Thorne, at Moran Albright, at the ceiling, at the floor—anywhere but at the woman sitting right next to him.

His rejection was entirely undisguised.

Seeing Granger shut Corinne down so obviously, Moran stopped playing along with her attempts to mingle.

Throughout the dinner, even though Corinne managed to interject and speak to Granger a few times, his attitude remained freezing cold.

Once Granger made his stance clear, Moran and Thorne respected his boundaries, completely staying out of the dynamic between him and Corinne. Even Vesta Hawkins silently lowered her head.

Granger's blatant refusal proved that he wasn't going to save face for Corinne just because of who brought her.

What Thorne and Moran didn't know was that Granger's resolute rejection of Vesta's friend was actually because of Charlene Ross.
