FULL NOVELXO Chapter Divorce Time 256
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 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 family's 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 family's, it hadn't completely put her worries to rest. Her grandmother always enjoyed her walks, and though the Spencer family didn't 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 didn't overthink things, these property offers really hit the mark for her.
As for the rest, she didn't 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 she'd already witnessed Thorne's 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, Thorne's 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, she'd be diving back into work, and it might be a while before she'd have the chance to visit Irma again.
When they arrived at the hospital, Charlene spotted Vesta again.
She wasn't concerned about whatever was going on between Vesta and Thorne. The last time she saw Vesta waiting outside a car here, she hadn't 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 wouldn't come between them.
Charlene smiled, but...

She glanced at Helena. She wondered what Helena thought of Vesta...
Helena happened to be looking down and didn't 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 Helena's hand and saying, "It's so kind of you to come visit me again, old friend."
"After all these years, you don't have to say that."
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.
