Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 239

Chapter 217

It was only after dinner that Sam mentioned Chase’s business trip.

Around 9 PM, while Ashley was showering, her phone rang on the bedside table. Sam saw it was Zark and answered. “Hello, Uncle Zark”

Zark was a bit surprised to hear Sam’s voice. “Hello, Sam.”

Before Sam could speak, Ashley emerged from the bathroom. Sam told her, “Mommy, it’s Uncle Zark.”

“Okay,” Ashley took the phone. Zark asked, “Am I interrupting something?”

Ashley said, “No.”

Zark continued, “I’m out of town. We’ll have to reschedule dinner.”

“No problem.”

After hanging up, Ashley was about to dry her hair, but she found Sam looking at her questioningly.

“What’s wrong?”

Mommy, you know Uncle Zark?”

‘Yes.’

“Oh…”

The next morning, Ashley went downstairs to make breakfast. Half an hour later, as she went upstairs, she saw Sam on the phone. Seeing her, Sam ran over and handed her the phone.”Mommy, it’s Dad.”

Ashley took the phone. “What’s it?”

Chase said, “I won’t be back until Thursday. Sam wants to stay with you until then, so you may have to put up with him for a few days.*

Ashley listened, her lips pressed together. Then, she hung up.

On Monday, after dropping Sam off at school, Ashley went to work. She was extremely busy that week, working late into the night to meet project deadlines. This meant that she only had time to chat with Sam briefly in the mornings, despite Sam was living with her.

On Thursday afternoon, Sam called Ashley and told her that Chase had returned. Therefore, after school, Sam went straight back to Chase’s place.

On Saturday, Ashley and Zark met at an amusement park. Betty was also there.

Seeing Ashley, Zark said, “It’s been a while.”

“Has it?”

Ashley hadn’t noticed.

Zark looked at her. It seemed that there was something he wanted to say, but he didn’t.

Near lunchtime, Zark said to Ashley, “You should know Speed has several shareholders.”

“Yeah.”

“Chase plans to scoop up Ethan’s stake and mine, and clean house on the remaining shares. I think he’s going to give them to…”

Zark didn’t finish, but Ashley knew who he was talking about. Tanya.

She’d seen how generous Chase was toward Tanya while she worked at Speed. She’d previously said she wouldn’t be surprised if Chase gave the whole company to Tanya. Now, he was actually doing it…

Speed was a new company, but it was worth tens of billions. Giving it away like that was incredibly generous.

Then Zark said, “Ethan and I agreed.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Zark, Ethan, and Chase grew up together. They were like brothers. Given their friendship, it made sense that they’d agree to Chase’s proposal.

Zark just wanted Ashley to know that Speed was no longer Chase’s, because there was still ongoing collaboration between Speed and Eternal. He knew how much she loved Chase. Before he knew about her relationship with Tim, he truly believed she’d moved on. Now, however, he wasn’t sure if she

had.
