Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 804

Dr. Lucas turned toward the voice, his brow furrowing in irritation. "And you are?"

He was deeply displeased—not just by the rude interruption, but by the accusatory tone.

Worse, the man had spoken loudly enough to ensure that everyone in the immediate vicinity heard him.

Silence rippled outward as the surrounding guests turned their attention to Dr. Lucas.

Naturally, Charlene and Stewart heard it too.

They exchanged a look of pure astonishment.

They genuinely hadn't expected Dr. Lucas to offer her the exclusive mentorship position.

Granger and Moran knew Vesta had been gunning for the spot. They also knew Thorne was planning to use his influence tonight to help her secure it. Word around the gala was that Dr. Lucas had been very impressed with Vesta earlier.

How had the coveted offer suddenly shifted to Charlene?

Moran was utterly baffled.

Granger was surprised too, but remembering Charlene's unmatched brilliance—and knowing Dr. Lucas was completely unaware she was already Kenton Wagner's protégé—he quickly understood the logic.

York, Dalton, Kelvin, the Hawkins family, the Spencer family, and Corinne Lancaster all heard the declaration loud and clear.

York had just finished his conversation. Dalton and Kelvin were about to hit him with the ugly truth about Charlene when the sudden outburst derailed them.

Hearing that Dr. Lucas wanted Charlene, York looked momentarily surprised before a proud smile touched his eyes.
