Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 824

Before either Charlene or Stewart could reply, Corinne let out another scornful laugh directed at Charlene. "Actually, Ms. Ross, the truth speaks for itself. No one here is going to fall for your lies anymore. So save your breath. Wouldn't you rather keep whatever tiny shred of dignity you have left?"

Charlene barely reacted, but Stewart chuckled. He looked at Corinne and said, "The truth speaks for itself, indeed." He then shot a glance at Raleigh up on the stage. "I genuinely admire how righteously the two of you have rushed to your friend's defense. But you know who I admire the most? Ms. Hawkins."

His gaze shifted, pinning Vesta in place. "Ms. Hawkins, it seems Raleigh genuinely adores you, and Ms. Lancaster considers you a true friend. Yet you've deceived them so completely. How do you sleep at night?"

Before Vesta could even open her mouth, he smiled again. "Oh, my apologies. I forgot you don't actually have a conscience. After all, that's a family trait."

Vesta's face paled.

But she ignored Stewart entirely, her eyes darting straight to Charlene as if frantically trying to confirm something.

Corinne, Raleigh, Dalton, and Moran had all assumed that at this point, no amount of lying from Charlene could sway public opinion.

After all, Thorne was the only witness, and his testimony had already been completely discredited as a desperate cover-up for his daughter.

They knew Charlene and Stewart wouldn't go down without a fight.

But Stewart's sudden pivot was something none of them saw coming.

The smug looks vanished from Corinne and Raleigh's faces.

Gaylord, Granger, and York all knew the current situation looked grim for Charlene. Hearing Stewart say that, they were totally floored, completely blindsided by his words.

Before they had time to process it, Corinne snapped. She laughed coldly. "Mr. Ferguson, I didn't expect a grown man like you to not only be entirely blind to the truth, but to stand in public and hurl such vicious insults at a woman. You—"

"Hah!" Stewart barked a laugh. "Ms. Lancaster, vicious insults? Did I do that? I'm a man of high character. I'd never do such a thing."
