Chapter 63

The fact that Imma hadn't seen Thorne was starting to irritate her, and Jasmine was also feeling very depressed. While pouring Irma a cup of coffee, Charlene was the epitome of calm in the midst of the storm, stating, "Maybe he's caught up in something urgent and can't break away." Irma called it a night even earlier than normal since she was in a bad mood. Thorne was unresponsive to Jasmine's repeated attempts to reach him. There was no response for her. The next morning came. The bed next to Charlene was empty when she awoke. Jasmine was nowhere to be seen.

Charlene found her room unusually silent after getting dressed for the day. Because Thome didn't come up, Jasmine was so bored that she had someone take her to the city early in the morning for excitement. Irma, too? She had returned to the Henderson Mansion before Charlene had even woken up, having been chilled by the nighttime wind the previous evening and suffering from a pounding headache in the early hours of the morning. They didn't even bother to tell Charlene because they didn't want to disturb her sleep.

So, aside from the employees, Charlene was the sole visitor to the enormous Sapphire Springs Resort. Jasmine could have easily waited for Charlene to wake up before taking her out for a fun date. However, Jasmine's silent departure most likely indicated that she received some news from Thorne, intended to meet with him and Vesta, and was concerned that Charlene could oppose it. Even though it was raining and the weather was gloomy, the hot spring provided a comfortable haven beneath its cover. Reading a book and taking in the wet scenery while soaking in the hot waters has a certain charm. Besides, Charlene liked being alone, which gave her more personal time.

Charlene made the decision to remain at Sapphire Springs Resort despite everyone else leaving. It was an afternoon on Sunday. Irma called Charlene just as she was about to leave for home for dinner. "Charlene, I called Thome this morning to ask him to come get you tonight at Sapphire Springs Resort. Did he contact you? No, not at all. Thorne has not been contacted since he was meant to meet them at Sapphire Springs Resort. Since she had slipped away the day before, Jasmine had also not gotten in touch. However, Charlene had no intention of bothering Irma over this. But she lied, "Yes," to keep things straightforward. Charlene asked Irma how she was feeling, and they hung up. Irma was relieved and didn't ask any more questions.

As the sun began to set, Charlene ate dinner at Sapphire Springs Resort. Irma said Thorne would come get her, but she was waiting till almost nine o'clock, and he hadn't shown up. Charlene was eager to go to Sapphire Springs Resort, which was about an hour and a half away from her house. To get back, she made arrangements for a resort shuttle. She was ready to fall asleep on the way home when she was startled awake by her phone. Connie was the one. "Connie?" Charlene asked as she picked up. "Oh no! What a bitch! Charlene was taken aback, and Connie swiftly clarified, "Sorry, just venting." "What's up?" "I believe I attended this charity gala tonight. I also saw Vesta and your deadbeat father.

A girl created a big fuss, showered Vesta in red wine, and called her out for being a homewrecker. This girl, who comes from a wealthy family, didn't take it well. When, guess what, your husband arrived, I was loving the drama! Charlene remained silent for a while, then listened to Connie's words, her annoyance hardly disguised. "With livestreaming and everything, it was a well-known charity event. Although Vesta and her group aren't celebrities, his appearance to support her and take her away was captured on video and broadcast live. Connie shared the link to the live feed. When Charlene opened it, she discovered a cacophonous gala filled with performances, making it difficult to hear any conversation. However, the girl's confrontation with Vesta, the subsequent dispute, and the messy wine-throwing event were all well captured on camera.
