Chapter 381

Chapter 381 York was deep in thought when Dalton interrupted him, “York, besides Hickey and my old man, do you know anyone else who might have Kenton’s contact information?”

York replied, “No, I don’t.”

But then something clicked in his mind. “Wait a minute, didn’t you say Ms. Hawkins had met Kenton? She might have Mr.

Wagner’s contact info. If talking to Mr. Wagner could solve this, wouldn’t Ms. Hawkins just reach out to him herself?”

Dalton considered this, “I thought about that too, but as someone directly involved, she probably wouldn’t want to contact Mr.

Wagner unless absolutely necessary, especially to criticize Stewart.”

It seemed Dalton had really thought this through. It was clear he cared more about Vesta than he let on.

Dalton sighed, “Alright, I’ll ask around and see if anyone else can help.”

York nodded, “Okay.”

He knew Charlene being Kenton’s student was something that neither Stewart nor Charlene had made public, likely because it was sensitive information. Therefore, he couldn’t just go telling Dalton about it.

York added, “I’ve met Charlene a few times, and she doesn’t seem like the person you’re describing.”

“Dalton, do you really think Charlene’s just worried Stewart might fall for Ms. Hawkins, and that’s why she’s targeting her? Could there be some misunderstanding? Maybe you should talk to Ms. Hawkins or someone else to see if there’s more to the story.”

Dalton frowned, “York, are you defending her?”

York shrugged, “I’m just calling it as I see it.”

Dalton thought York was being deceived by Charlene. “I don’t think there’s a misunderstanding. I saw it with my own eyes. Just make sure you don’t get fooled by appearances.” He paused, “Anyway, let’s drop it. Once you’re on vacation, let’s get together.”

York had other matters to attend to, so he ended the call after that.

Meanwhile, Vesta was left waiting outside. Charlene and Stewart showed no sign of acknowledging her, leaving her to wait.

And Vesta was determined to wait as long as it took. But with an important appointment later that day and no sign of Stewart, she had no choice but to leave and handle her other responsibilities.

For the next two days, she was too busy to visit PrimeStar again. On Thursday, when she finally had some free time, she was hit with an unexpected surprise–a court summons.

Leah Spencer was fuming, “It’s only been a few days, and they’ve already sent a court summons! They’re really set on ending the contract with us, huh? And the court actually took the case? Over something so trivial? What a joke!”

Since the court had accepted the case, unless Stewart withdrew the lawsuit, a legal battle seemed inevitable.

Despite her anger, Leah knew the situation had become nearly irreversible. “What do we do now? Are we really going to court?

What does Thorne think about all this?”

Vesta replied coolly, “Thorne can’t find a way to get Stewart to withdraw the lawsuit either...”

Suddenly, Maureen Spencer chimed in, “What if we reach out to the Fergusons and tell them what’s going on?”

They had always believed that the Fergusons would never accept Charlene, given her past. The fact that Stewart had been set up with a well–to–do young lady recently seemed to confirm their suspicions.

1/2 10:13 If the Fergusons found out Charlene was creating personal drama that affected Stewart’s business relationships, they might become even more displeased with her. Under family pressure, Stewart might reconsider the lawsuit.

Vesta immediately saw the potential in Maureen’s suggestion. She didn’t know anyone in the Ferguson family except Stewart, but she was sure Thorne did.

With that thought, she called Thorne.

After explaining her plan, Thorne agreed, “Alright, I’ll help you get in touch with the Fergusons as soon as possible.”

Leah also approved of the idea. The prospect of the Fergusons being upset with Charlene, potentially causing a rift between her and Stewart, was exciting to her.

But then a question occurred to her, “Why didn’t Thorne think of approaching the Fergusons before?”

Vesta lowered her gaze, “Thorne and Charlene are still married. The Fergusons probably know some of their personal history, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for Thorne to approach them about this. It’s better if someone else does.”

Leah shrugged, “Alright then.”
