Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 103

Chapter 103 

Ash sneezed firmly. She wiped her nose with tissue and said in a muffled voice, “Who’s thinking about me 

“Boss, does a sneeze mean that someone is thinking about you? Maybe they’re talking bad about your William joked while rubbing the bridge of his nose. 

She snorted. “Alright, then, someone is talking bad about me. Our plan worked well. Our post has only been up for less than half a day, but nearly 20 thousand comments on the official website support us acquiring Riverstone’s Commercial Area. 

Ash’s voice was light as she looked down. “Based on the current progress, I’m more confident we can get Riverstone’s Commercial Area. 

“Calvert’s power can’t be underestimated. I reckon they’ve already come up with a way to deal with it. We have to be more careful in the next few days. Also, get the Public Relations Department to do their best to unintentionally announce Shadow Ventures‘ charitable activities in recent years.” 

From Ash’s point of view, the Snider Group and Shadow Ventures were no longer competing for power. Instead, they were testing whose marketing methods were stronger. 

William replied gently, “Boss, a client is coming later. Do you want to meet him?” 

She shook her head and glanced at her watch. She had snuck out three hours ago. If she did not go back home, she would probably be exposed. “No, you can handle the company’s matters.” 

“There’s another option. Once the Snider Group takes action, activate Gamma Choice immediately. Remember, pay attention to the Snider Group’s every move at all times. We must get Riverstone’s Commercial Area.” Ash’s eyes were filled with determination. 

It didn’t matter that Calvert was her opponent. She was not afraid and had to do what was necessary. 

Ash sneaked back into the Turner family home and bumped into Brooke. She was about to find an excuse, but Brooke did not ask questions. “Darling, a set of clothes I ordered for you last month has arrived.” 

“Do you want to try them on?” Brooke and her husband discussed giving Ash as much privacy and trust as possible. There were some things that they would not ask Ash unless she told them. 

Ash was a little surprised. She could not tell what was going on from Brooke’s expression. She thought, ‘Does Brooke not know that I had gone out? Or was she pretending not to know?‘ 

Ash shook her head lightly, considering how Brook was such a doting mother who adored her in every way. Ash realized she didn’t have to think so much. 

“Okay, thank you, Mommy.” She held Brooke’s arm and softened her voice. “As long as you bought it, I know it will suit me perfectly.” 

These words made Brooke overjoyed. She could not hide the joy on her face. “Ash, you’re such a sweet talker.” 

Suddenly, Brooke thought of something and turned to look at Ash. “By the way, the family gathering is in the middle of next month. Should I invite Calvert to join us?” Brooke patted the back of her daughter’s hand. 

Ash frowned imperceptibly. As one of four major families, it was normal for the Turner family to have this so–called big family gathering. However, she thought an outsider like Calvert didn’t need to come to a family gathering. 

While Ash was in doubt, Brooke had already replied, “Your grandfather likes crowds. He hopes that as many people as possible can participate in the family gathering every year. If I remember correctly, he’s going to race this year.

“I remembered Calvert has a racing license and seems to have won many awards. Our extended family has many relatives, but our nuclear family is very small, so we were previously more or less disadvantaged” 

Ash raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect Calvert to be still racing. “Then let’s invite him when the time comes” It was just a family gathering. It was not a big deal to invite one more person. Moreover, Ash did not know if Calvert would attend.
