Chapter 236 Vesta began to focus more on Charlene’s situation. Watching Charlene navigate the tricky scenario Thorne had set up, in ways she hadn’t expected, made her heart skip a beat. And when she heard Quintin’s cheers, it sank like a stone. Charlene was intensely focused, her attention solely on
Chapter 235 At that moment, Thorne spoke up, “Alright.” Charlene sat down across from him, her demeanor calm and collected. Vesta, after the initial surprise, quickly regained her composure. She greeted Campbell and the others before returning to stand by Thorne’s side. The surprise wasn’t limited to just Granger, the
Chapter 234 Quintin chuckled, “Not bad at all.” Then he asked, “Why aren’t you busy with your painting?” “I’m just here to make sure you feel well taken care of, didn’t want you thinking I was neglecting you.” “Go on, get back to your work, and stop interrupting my chess
Chapter 233 Charlene was going over their chess match in her head when something caught her attention. Just then, she overheard Vesta saying, “Quintin, after watching your game, I’m really tempted to give it a try, but I’m afraid I’m not quite skilled enough yet to take on Thorne.” “Oh,
Chapter 232 Thorne set his glass of water down and said politely, “The pleasure is all mine to have a chess match with you, Quintin.” Thorne walked over and took a seat across from Quintin. “Please, Quintin, guide me through this game,” he added. Vesta and Granger, along with the
Chapter 231 After a while, Campbell waved goodbye to everyone and slipped into his private quarters down the hallway.

Chapter 229 “Granger.” Leah called out sweetly as soon as she saw Granger return. Granger nodded coolly in response.

Chapter 230 “Thank you,” Vesta said politely, a smile playing on her lips. Campbell glanced at Granger, Dalton, and York, chuckling, “You guys better step up your game too.” Just then, Hickey arrived with Charlene and Stewart in tow.

Chapter 228 When Leah saw Granger actually talking to Charlene, her eyes widened with surprise. She couldn’t help but ask Moran, “Why on earth is Granger talking to her?” Before Moran could respond, Leah was already making her way over. Maureen gently held her back and said, “They’re discussing business.”
Chapter 227 Dalton remembered that Henley had mentioned Vesta and Thorne would be coming too. He stood up and said, “Alright, once your grandpa finishes up, shoot me a text, will you?” “Sure thing,” Kelvin replied. With that, Dalton and Kelvin headed out first. Just as they reached outside, Granger
Chapter 226 Charlene gripped Helena’s arm tightly. Helena calmly patted the back of her hand and said, “It’s okay.” If they could guess she would come, how could she not guess they would be here too? Stewart suggested, “Helena, I’m going inside to find Campbell. Why don’t you and Charlene
Chapter 225 Thorne’s feelings for her were something he never doubted. So, that scene was probably just a misunderstanding. Friday morning, right after Charlene woke up, she received a call from Helena inviting her to join her at an art exhibition by Campbell Watson, York’s grandpa, on Sunday morning. Helena
Chapter 224 It wasn’t long before Thorne received a call from the auction house. Upon receiving the news, he remained composed and said, “Alright, got it.” On the other end, they asked, “Would you like us to hold onto these items for you?” Thorne replied, “No need.” They didn’t press
Chapter 223 Charlene had been back in the private dining room for a while before Dalton finally returned. They had just about finished their meal, so they left the restaurant. Dalton headed back to the office to prepare some documents, while Charlene and Stewart returned to PrimeStar. Around three in
Chapter 222 Dalton remained silent, lost in thought. Stewart, on the other hand, seemed to make it his personal mission to put Dalton in an awkward spot. Truthfully, the money didn’t matter much to either of them; it was just pocket change. As they ate, the talk gradually turned to
Chapter 221 Charlene sat there with an air of calm, like she had seen this partnership coming from a mile away. Dalton didn’t think much of it, assuming Stewart had given her a heads-up beforehand. “Here’s to a successful partnership,” he said coolly When they arrived at the restaurant and
Chapter 220 Charlene and Dalton weren’t exactly sworn enemies. They just had a bit of a disagreement, and Charlene wasn’t one to back down when she knew she was right. But since Abelard had personally stepped in, she figured she could let it slide this time. “Charlene, don’t rush your
Chapter 219 Kelvin leaned back in his chair, considering York’s suggestion. “Why don’t you try talking to Stewart? You two have a bit of a rapport, right?” York shrugged, uncertain. “I could, but I doubt Stewart would listen.” From the moment Charlene agreed to swap dance partners at the gala,
Chapter 218 “Opinions? Sure, there are always some, but they won’t make a huge impact, Mr. Palmer said. “The company has a great project, and naturally, the other shareholders want to put their people in charge.

Chapter 217 Charlene said, “You guys go ahead and eat. I’m not coming.” Jasmine looked surprised. “Mom, you’re not coming?” “Nope.” Charlene gently patted Jasmine’s head. “You all have a great time.” “Oh… okay.” Charlene gave a soft smile, said no more, and turned to leave without looking back.
