Chapter 256
Divorce Time
Chapter 256 Once Jasmine had left, Charlene headed upstairs, booted up her laptop, and got down to work.
About an hour later, Padgett sent over some documents for her to review.
Charlene opened them up and the first thing she noticed was a list of three new properties, with their exact locations clearly marked.
She paused for a moment as she took in the details.
These three properties were all vacant homes within the Ross familyâs neighborhood, and notably, they were quite close to the Ross family residence.
Honestly, even though Thorne had previously helped her purchase the house in front of the Ross familyâs, it hadnât completely put her worries to rest.
Her grandmother always enjoyed her walks, and though the Spencer family didnât live right across from her grandmother, being in the same neighborhood meant they were bound to bump into each other eventually. She was genuinely worried.
But now...
Reviewing the new agreement, it seemed Thorne was taking steps to ease her worries again. Though Thorne was just trying to show his gratitude and ensure she didnât overthink things, these property offers really hit the mark for her.
As for the rest, she didnât dwell on it or let it bother her.
She turned her attention to another document.
It stated that Thorne would transfer two billion dollars to her for liquidity.
Even though sheâd already witnessed Thorneâs wealth at the auction and when he bought a house for the Hawkins family, she was still taken aback by how casually he could come up with two or three billion dollars, After confirming there were no issues, Charlene contacted Padgett.
Shortly after signing the contract, the money was in her account.
As for the properties, Thorneâs lawyer mentioned that the transfer process was still underway and that the deeds would be delivered to Charlene in a couple of days.
By the time all these matters were settled, the morning had flown by.
Irma had recently undergone surgery, and Helena, worried that Irma might feel lonely, planned to visit the hospital that afternoon.
Charlene decided to join her.
Starting Monday, sheâd be diving back into work, and it might be a while before sheâd have the chance to visit Irma again.
When they arrived at the hospital, Charlene spotted Vesta again.
She wasnât concerned about whatever was going on between Vesta and Thorne. The last time she saw Vesta waiting outside a car here, she hadnât given it much thought..
But today was chilly and windy, and Vesta was still standing outside, clearly wanting Charlene to see her.
It was as if she was signaling that she and Thorne were doing just fine.
No matter what Charlene did, she wouldnât come between them.
Charlene smiled, but...

Chapter 25 She glanced at Helena. She wondered what Helena thought of Vesta...
Helena happened to be looking down and didnât see Vesta.
Charlene decided not to mention it, instead she linked arms with Helena and headed towards the hospital entrance.
Since Vesta was downstairs, Thorne was bound to be around too.
Sure enough, when Charlene and Helena entered the room, Thorne was there. He greeted them as they walked 1. in.
Charlene remained cool and indifferent.
Irma was delighted to see them, clasping Helenaâs hand and saying, âItâs so kind of you to come visit me again, old friend.â
âAfter all these years, you donât have to say that.â
Charlene and Helena sat down.
They both noticed that Irma looked much better and more spirited than she had in the past few days.
This put their minds at ease.
