Chapter 376 At Jasmine’s place, she, Thorne, and Charlene couldn’t exactly coexist peacefully. Jasmine had told Charlene, “Come with me to the event,” which was quite different from “You should come along too.” It was clear Jasmine understood the dynamics at play. Jasmine had chosen Charlene for an important event,
Chapter 375 Although the coach hadn’t explicitly stated it, Charlene easily read between the lines. Even if Jasmine’s coach hadn’t said anything, Charlene could have guessed that Jasmine took up fencing because of Thorne or Vesta’s influence. Charlene didn’t dwell on it too much. Despite having relinquished custody of Jasmine
Chapter 374 After chatting with Jasmine and hanging up the phone, it only took about ten minutes for Thorne to text Charlene the time and place for Jasmine’s training the next day. But that was it—just the time and location. Nothing else, not even an extra word. The next day,
Chapter 373 As soon as Charlene returned to her office, her phone began to buzz. It was a call from Jasmine Henderson. Remembering the lunch invitation from Thorne in the meeting room earlier, Charlene hesitated and decided not to answer Jasmine’s call. Jasmine was persistent, though, calling three times in
Chapter 372 Granger Harden snapped back to reality, offering a small smile and a shake of his head. “Oh, it’s nothing,” he assured her. After wrapping up his conversation with Granger, Charlene Ross received a call from Stewart Ferguson later that afternoon. “Just got word from our lawyer,” Stewart began.
Chapter 371 Vesta had just returned from a business trip. She was lost in thought when Gaylord interrupted, “Is there anything else you need?” Vesta shook her head and asked, “You’ve been at PrimeStar for a while now. How are you settling in?” “I’m doing well,” Gaylord replied. “If there’s
Chapter 370 Leah Spencer was absolutely flabbergasted. She never expected that even Thorne’s involvement wouldn’t resolve the issue. “I just don’t get it,” Leah stammered, “This is clearly just a minor issue. Can they really file a lawsuit and terminate the contract over something so trivial? That can’t be right!”
Chapter 369 “He called just a few minutes ago.” Stewart let out a sarcastic laugh, “Guess he got to you first.” Vesta reaching out to Thorne for help, potentially stirring up trouble for the Ross family, was something they had anticipated for a while. Thorne probably figured they’d use the
Chapter 368 That afternoon, Charlene had just returned to PrimeStar Technologies when her phone buzzed with a call from Thorne. If they broke the contract with Neural Nexus Tech, it would be a massive blow to the company. The moment Charlene saw Thorne’s name flash on her screen, she knew
Chapter 367 Vesta had the same thought. But… The whole thing started with them. She always had a good image in Thorne’s mind. If Thorne found out about this mess, would he think that she and her family were bullying Charlene? That could really tarnish the way he saw her.
Chapter 366 Vesta was on the phone while sitting with Maureen, Katie, and the others in a fancy private dining room, waiting for the waiter to bring their food. When Vesta hung up, her face looked troubled. Maureen noticed and asked, “What’s going on? What did Stewart say?” Vesta gripped
Chapter 365 Around noon, Charlene found a moment to talk to Stewart. She said, “We need to shift the focus of this conflict a bit.” Stewart paused for a moment, then quickly caught on to what she was suggesting. He chuckled, “Got it, I know just what to do.” Not
Chapter 364 Maureen and Vesta exchanged glances, their expressions subtly shifting. Usually, in situations like this, they’d have Leah apologize straight away to prevent any unnecessary drama that might tarnish their image. However, when Charlene threw out the suggestion of terminating the contract if they doubted her capabilities, both the
Chapter 363 If someone defaults without a valid reason, there’s always a penalty to pay. Charlene wouldn’t mind parting ways with Neural Nexus Tech as long as the compensation for breach of contract was settled. “You!” Leah was taken aback and almost retorted. It wasn’t just about her not having
Chapter 362 As the elevator dinged softly, signaling Charlene’s arrival at her desired floor, she stepped out without sparing another glance at Vesta and the others. Her mind was already elsewhere, diving straight into the whirlwind of her bustling workday. Time flew by unnoticed until Charlene, deep in conversation with
Chapter 361 “Did you run into him again this morning?” Stewart asked, raising an eyebrow as he sipped his coffee. Charlene sighed, replying, “Yeah.” Going through the divorce process while running into your ex-husband all the time was a real pain. But since their companies had a partnership, occasional encounters
Chapter 360 Kendal didn’t even bother replying to him. When Thorne made his comment, Charlene didn’t respond either. No one seemed eager to engage with him, but Thorne didn’t mind. He noticed Charlene’s coffee was nearly gone, so he picked up the pot and refilled her cup, as well as
Chapter 359 Charlene arrived at the base and immediately dove headfirst into her work. Perfecting human versus machine combat required a solid foundation of data. On her second day at the base, another round of human vs. machine trials was scheduled. That evening, Charlene found herself heading to the mess
Chapter 358 Jasmine didn’t actually dislike pink. As long as it was pretty and cute, she was all for it. Listening to Daisy excitedly boasting about her latest find, Jasmine nodded along enthusiastically, saying, “It’s super adorable and really pretty.” With that, she handed over the gift she had prepared
Chapter 357 At that moment, Vesta was utterly taken aback, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her. But there was Charlene, holding Daisy’s hand, with Granger casting a warm smile her way. It was all so clear. This wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t a dream. Charlene was really
