Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 386

After finalizing the decision to terminate the contract, Vesta picked up the phone to inform Thorne.

"At the auction, I slipped up while chatting with Darleen, and she caught me off guard. Stewart’s lack of interest in collaborating with Neural Nexus Tech is blatantly obvious. Even if we went to court and won, I can't guarantee they wouldn't cause trouble later. Since they're not keen on working with us, I think it's best to part ways now and find a new partner."

Thorne didn't bother asking what Vesta had said that Darleen used against her.

Instead, he simply replied, "If you've made up your mind, then go ahead and terminate the contract. Do you need help with the termination fees?"

Truth be told, Vesta was tempted by Thorne's offer. Ever since her family moved to Starfall City, Thorne had done so much for her and her family. However, she knew that relying on him for every little thing could become tiresome, no matter how captivating she might be. She understood this was not a sustainable approach.

So, she answered, "No need. I can handle it myself."

"Alright," Thorne continued, "Do you want me to help you find a new partner after you end things with PrimeStar Technologies?"

Having been upset with the whole Charlene and Stewart ordeal recently, Vesta felt a wave of warmth and sweetness wash over her at Thorne's offer, and her tone softened involuntarily.

"Yes, thank you, Thorne."

Stewart and Charlene left the contract termination details to their lawyers. When Vesta received the termination terms from PrimeStar and saw the $30 million fee, she frowned.

Back when PrimeStar and Neural Nexus Tech first collaborated, PrimeStar wasn’t as prominent in the AI field as it is now. Compared to the original contract, the $30 million fee seemed quite steep.

"$30 million?" Leah frowned as well.

It wasn’t that she thought the sum was outrageously high or that Charlene and Stewart were being unreasonable. Before her sister met her brother-in-law, their families would have struggled to come up with $30 million. Now, though…

$30 million seemed substantial at first glance, but it wasn't unmanageable. After all, Thorne casually gifted Vesta jewelry worth millions and birthday presents for Katie Hawkins worth tens of millions. Not to mention the estate valued at over $60 million he gave to Vesta's aunt.
