Chapter 16
In the following years, he founded his company and took charge of the Henderson Group. Under his leadership,
Henderson Group effortlessly reached new heights.
Who in the circle wouldn't give Tha big thumbs up? Plus, Thome’s looks were nothing short of striking
So, it wasn’t surprising to Connie that Charlene, a genius in her right, had fallen hard for Thorne, another genius.
But Thcould be ruthlessly cold to those he disliked
Realizing Thhad misunderstood and mistreated Charlene’s genuine affection for years, Connie completely
lost her enchantment with him
She knew how deeply Charlene loved Thome. Over the years, she had tried to persuade Charlene to think about
getting a divorce, but Charlene had always silently shaken her head in disagreement.
So, it caught her off guard when Charlene finally initiated the divorce. She couldn't finish her breakfast and
looked at Charlene with a heavy heart. “What happened?”
Given Charlene’s steadfast love for Thome, Connie knew something must have occurred for Charlene to make
such a decision.
After pondering, Charlene said, “Seriously, it's nothing big. Maybe it’s just the buildup of disappointments. |

Connie knew Charlene well enough to understand that once she made up her mind, even if she couldn't fully let
go of Thome, she wouldn't easily change it. She was serious.
Connie went over to hug Charlene. “It’s okay. Maybe it's for the best.”
Charlene nodded. “Yeah.”
After breakfast, Charlene left for work.
Before moving out, although she and Thorne worked at the splace, they always left the house at different
times and never commuted together.
Plus, he was always so guarded around her that sometimes they wouldn't run into each other at the office for a
month. Now that she had moved out, she bumped into him two days in a row.
Thorne looked as dashing and composed as ever, and just like before, his face grew colder whenever he saw her.
Just like the day before, Thorne glanced at her before looking away.
With a lowered gaze, Charlene softly said, “Mr. Henderson,” and stepped into the company only after he had
walked away.
She didn’t know if Vesta was in the office, and frankly, she didn’t care. She focused on her work in silence.
At noon, her grandmother called her.
“Charlene, we received a lamb from the city. The weather's getting colder. Why don’t you cover for dinner
tonight? I'll have someone prepare a roast lamb feast for you.”
Hearing her grandmother’s kind voice warmed Charlene’s heart. “Okay, I'll cover after work.”
Besides the morning, Charlene didn’t encounter Thorne for the rest of the day. As she was about to leave work
on time, Coy handed her a document and told her to deal with it urgently.
