Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 87

Chapter 87 

More than 20 years ago, Riverstone’s Commercial Area was once the center of the entire city. However, with the this of the city’s center of gravity and the renewal of the industry, Riverstone’s Commercial Area was replaced by new shopping centers. Gradually, no one remembered it, and that piece of land was completely abandoned. 

Most people didn’t even consider a place like this. The four major families had their own emerging businesses and naturally didn’t pay much attention to such areas. However, Shadow Ventures was different. They thrived on turning waste st 

treasure. 

Previously, there was a company on the verge of bankruptcy. With the keen insight of Shadow Ventures investors. it received funding and business development guidance. Within a few years, it successfully went public internationally. This was just one of many such examples. 

So, while others might not be interested in Riverstone’s Commercial Area, Shadow Ventures certainly would be 

However, in the past few days, none of the people Shane sent out reported any connection between Shadow Ventures andi this project. This was obviously abnormal. 

Calvert pointed at the message with a calm expression and said coldly, “At all costs, secure this piece of land for me.” 

“Yes.” Shane received the order and left. 

At Shadow Ventures. 

William looked at the report and thought, ‘So it has finally come.‘ 

He called Ash and said, “Ms. Turner, the Snider family has taken action regarding the land in Riverstone’s Commercial Area. 

“It doesn’t matter. If he can’t even notice this, then he doesn’t deserve to be the future heir of the Turner family.” This was within Ash’s expectations. 

She just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. In less than two days, Calvert had discovered this blind spot. He really had sharp eyes. 

“Gather the company executives. I’ll arrive at the office for a meeting in half an hour.” Ash hung up the phone. 

Having long been accustomed to climbing over walls, she turned without a second thought and jumped down from the big tree outside the window, following the familiar old path to sneak out. 

Wisley, who had been closely watching this place, quickly noticed the fleeting shadow and dialed Jade’s phone. 

“Thank you, Wisley.” After hanging up the phone, Jade glanced at the camera that had long been focused on that spot, a smile spreading across her face. 

She retrieved the recording of Ash climbing over the wall from the computer and sent it to a professional for anonymization. After confirming that her information couldn’t be exposed, she had the photos sent to Calvert. 

Jade looked at the successful screenshot sent by the other party and smiled slyly. She couldn’t believe that Calvert, whom she held in high regard as a treasure, could truly tolerate a woman who sold her own body. 

At Snider Manor. 

Dorothy stared disapprovingly at Calvert. “What about the promise you made to me? What couple goes three days without seeing each other?”

Chapter 87 

In the past two days, Calvert had been running to the company but hadn’t met with Ash. Even the photos they had agreed to share earlier have gone missing. 

Calvert’s gaze was deep, and he didn’t know how to respond to Dorothy. The moment he thought about Ash getting into fre lover’s car right in front of him without any hesitation, a surge of agitation rose in his heart. 

He thought. Isn’t it just acting? Who can’t do that? Anyway, it’s just a year. If I endure it, it will pass 

Dean walked forward and comforted Dorothy. “Madam, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Young people these days are different from our years.” 

Upon hearing this, Dorothy’s tense expression eased. “You brat, why didn’t you tell me about this scheme? You made me worry for nothing.” 

Calvert maintained a calm expression but remained silent. 

A message notification interrupted the silent atmosphere. Everyone’s gaze landed on Calvert’s phone. 

Dorothy’s face was filled with anticipation. “Quick, take a look and see if it’s from Ash.” 

Calvert picked up his phone. As he read the message, his expression instantly turned cold and serious.
