All Chapters of Unknown Divorce: Timeless Disclosure: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

"The pleasure is all mine to have a chess match with you, Quintin," Thorne remarked courteously, setting down his glass of water. Thorne approached Quintin and sat down across from him. "Please, Quintin, guide me through this game," he said. Granger, Vesta, and the others gathered to see the game play out. Stewart and Charlene also joined, taking up positions behind Quintin. Granger and Vesta were both experienced with chess now. Granger walked over after noticing how engrossed Charlene was in the game. He asked Charlene, "Do you play chess?" "A little," Charlene said humbly. Stewart stood close by and whispered to himself, "A little.It's more like a ton. Perhaps since he didn't know her well, he didn't say anything more. Both Quintin's and Thorne's tactics were initially very ambiguous. However, Quintin gradually shifted toward an aggressive approach as they became acquainted with one another's styles. Conversely, Thorne concentrated on deflecting Quintin's assaults while forging ne

With a laugh, Quintin said, "Not bad at all.""Why aren't you busy with your painting?" he then inquired. "I'm just here to make sure you feel well taken care of; I didn't want you thinking I was neglecting you." "Go on, get back to your work, and stop interrupting my chess game." Campbell, however, remained unmoved. When Quintin and Campbell complimented Vesta, the Hawkins and Spencer families grinned broadly. Vesta was well known to everyone in the area. She was a person who evoked both respect and jealousy. After all, Vesta had it all—beauty, intelligence, and now both Campbell and Quintin were interested in her because of her chess abilities.In addition, the Spencer and Hawkins families had risen in the social hierarchy as a result of Thorne's admiration for Vesta. That kind of daughter—who wouldn't want one? Enviously, someone said to the Hawkins and Spencer families, "Katie, Mr. Hawkins, Mrs. Hawkins, you really have a wonderful granddaughter and daughter." "Absolutely," others

Vesta started to pay more attention to Charlene's predicament. Her heart skipped a beat as she watched Charlene handle the difficult situation Thorne had put up in unexpected ways. It sank like a stone as she heard Quintin's applause. Charlene was staring at the chessboard in front of her with serious concentration. For now, things were stable, but she sensed that victory was almost... She stopped and looked at Thorne. Thorne took the initiative. Charlene stopped her hand in its tracks."This is really impressive," said Campbell, grinning. I never imagined that I would see a chess battle this captivating in such a setting, especially between two young players. Very impressive. The noise annoyed Quintin, who yelled, "Keep it down!" Campbell stopped talking. After a few tense minutes, Charlene finally moved to gradually level out the tilted board once more. Thorne replied with another piece two minutes later. After returning the piece she was holding to the board, Charlene declared, "I

They desired to speak with her briefly. "Charlene..." Henley began. "Mr. Hawkins, are you here to announce to everyone about you and Charlene?" Stewart asked with a laugh before Charlene could reply. "Mr. Ferguson, I have something to discuss with Charlene, if you could just—" Stewart didn't even let Charlene speak before he stepped in. "If Mr. Hawkins wants to let everyone know about you and Charlene, by all means, go ahead." Henley's smile wavered a little, but he quickly forced a laugh. Henley did not want to irritate Stewart.Thus, he and Laverne were forced to depart with a dejected sigh. However, he told Charlene, "I'll give you a call later, don't forget," before leaving. Charlene chose not to answer. She just didn't give a damn. She was most definitely not going to answer the phone. "I'd love to just let it all go up in flames," Stewart said, clearly irritated. Charlene had similar feelings. However, she had yet to uncover any evidence that would absolve her of the Thorne even

After giving it some thought, she laughed quietly and said, "Alright." They followed the throng. Vibrant fireworks burst over the river as soon as they got to the railing, causing the throng to gasp and giggle, but the loud noises of the explosions soon drowned them out. While others made wishes beneath the glittering display, many were preoccupied with taking pictures with their phones. "Want me to record a video for you?" he offered, observing Charlene watching in silence. Charlene gave a headshake. "No need; I'm just enjoying the view." York did not follow up.Vesta turned to look at them at that moment. York stood out despite their distance of many meters thanks to their tall stature and unique appearance. They were slightly acquainted, having met York a few times previously. Vesta was debating whether to tell Thorne, who was holding Jasmine, about it and approach them when she spotted Charlene, who had been briefly hidden by York. Vesta's joy dimmed when she saw Charlene. How com
