Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 826

The crowd at the gala was completely blown away.

"If what Mr. Ferguson says is true, this is a real-life case of biting the hand that fed them."

"Seriously. Her family graciously helped a friend, and they repaid that kindness by destroying their lives. And years later, they try to wreck her granddaughter's marriage... That entire family is a nest of venomous snakes!"

"They probably got a taste of the good life after ruining the first marriage. Then, seeing Ms. Ross join the Henderson family and step into Starfall City's elite circle, they got jealous and pulled the same stunt. Let's be real, if they hadn't latched onto Mr. Henderson, that family wouldn't even be qualified to step foot in here tonight. They'll do anything to climb the social ladder."

"I had dinner with Mr. Henderson, Ms. Hawkins, and Director Ross a while back. Ms. Hawkins sat right next to Mr. Henderson right in front of Director Ross, acting like his girlfriend while pretending she didn't even know Director Ross. Looking back, the sheer audacity of this woman is unbelievable."

"That's putting it mildly! At every one of these galas, she parades around as his girlfriend right to Director Ross's face, all while secretly dragging Charlene's name through the mud. Ugh!"

Dalton Ramirez, Corinne Lancaster, and Raleigh listened to the whispers, their shock and disbelief deepening. They stared blankly at Vesta Hawkins.

If what Stewart Ferguson was saying was true...

No... how could Stewart's claims possibly be true?

Moran Albright was equally stunned.

He looked at Thorne, Charlene, and Vesta with a heavy heart, unable to stop himself from turning to Granger. "Granger, what Stewart said... it can't be true, right?"

If it was, then Thorne, and the Vesta they thought they knew...

Granger's own emotions were in a tangled knot.

He had always assumed he knew exactly what was going on between Thorne, Vesta, and Charlene. Only now did he realize he didn't really understand any of them.

Pulled from his daze by Moran's question, he looked over at Charlene's group and murmured, "I think... it's true."

Moran stared at him, utterly speechless.

In truth, everyone in the room was waiting to hear how Vesta would defend herself.

But Vesta just stood there, her fists clenched tightly at her sides, absolutely silent.

When neither she nor her supporters spoke up, Stewart didn't waste any time. He glanced at Vesta, then at the Hawkins and Spencer families standing nearby. "Ms. Hawkins, was anything I just said fabricated or defamatory?"

"If so, please point it out. We can hash this out right here in front of everyone. If we can't settle it tonight, Charlene and I would be more than happy to post Ms. Ross and your father's divorce certificate online. We can do a deep dive into the entire divorce trial and recount exactly how your family bit the hand that fed them. We have mountains of evidence at our disposal. What do you say, Ms. Hawkins?"

Dead silence fell over the room.

Vesta pressed her lips together, refusing to answer.
