Over the years, the Hawkins family's tech company had been struggling, bleeding money due to a lack of cutting-edge technology and high-caliber talent.

To help turn things around, Thorne embarked on a business trip, spending considerable effort to recruit some tech whizzes from overseas for the Hawkins family's tech venture.noveldrama

With Thorne's assistance, the Hawkins family's company was expected to make a comeback soon.

However, none of this really concerned Charlene. If she still liked Thorne, finding out he was involved would just make her feel even worse. So, Granger decided to keep it to himself.

After lunch, Granger had some matters to attend to, and they went their separate ways.

By Monday, the transfer of shares in Neural Nexus Tech to Vesta was finalized.

Charlene and Stewart found out about it because Quincy shared the news in the group chat as soon as he heard.

Thorne's gift of a mansion worth over six million to Maureen Spencer or his decision to give part of his shares to Vesta on Valentine's Day-Charlene hadn't mentioned any of this to Stewart.

Although Stewart was aware that Thorne treated Vesta well, he wasn't fully clued in on just how generous Thorne could be.

So, when the news hit, he was caught off guard for a moment.

Once he processed it, he muttered through gritted teeth, "Man, he's really pulling out all the stops, huh?" Charlene, having already heard about it, was unfazed. "Let's focus on work first," she said.

The following evening, they had a dinner party to attend.

By the time Charlene and Stewart arrived, the place was bustling with guests.

Not long after, Granger and Moran made an entrance as well.

Just as Granger was about to greet them, Thorne and Vesta walked into the banquet hall, escorted by the hosts.

As always, Vesta was decked out in designer clothes and dazzling jewelry.

Neural Nexus Tech was well-known in their circles, and the news of Thorne handing over the entire company to Vesta had spread like wildfire.

Their arrival immediately drew the attention of nearly everyone at the party.

"That's Thorne and his girlfriend. You've heard about the Neural Nexus Tech thing, right? Thorne's quite the catch, but even he couldn't resist her charms. Handing over such a promising company just like that—what a grand gesture

"Totally! If I were Vesta, I'd be over the moon. My boyfriend treats me like that, and I'd be on cloud nine." Someone else chimed in, "Wasn't Thorne married before? How come he never showed such generosity to his ex-wife?"

"I heard he wasn't really in love with his ex. The marriage was more of a forced affair."

"That makes sense. Otherwise, why would he keep his marriage so hush-hush? If it weren't for that birthday party incident with Irma Henderson, nobody would've known he was ever married."

"Exactly."

Hearing this, Stewart and Granger glanced at Charlene. Her expression remained unchanged.

Leah had also shown up. She hadn't seen Granger in ages and had specifically come over with Vesta.

As soon as she spotted Granger, she headed straight for him. "Granger."

Granger didn't respond.

Seeing him brush her off, Leah's

face fell slightly. Spotting Charlene nearby, she pursed her lips, let out a small huff, then forced a smile as she said to Granger, "Granger, my sister and her group are over there. Let's head over."
