Chapter 296
Seeing Gabriel standing by Ashley’s side, Zark paid no attention, he said to Ashley:”It’s been a while since we last met.”
Ashley nodded, and greeted him, saying: “Very busy lately?”
Zark: “A little bit. I’ve been on a business trip out of town recently and only got back this morning.”
Even though he had been on business trips recently, he knew almost immediately that Chase and Ashley were going to the County Superior Court to formally handle their divorce procedures.
More than half a year had passed since they signed the divorce agreement last year.
Now, they were finally about to formally divorce.
Twenty-something days, still twenty-something days, once they formally divorced, he could…
Seeing that Mr. Turner hadn’t finished talking with Ashley, Zark lowered the emotion in his eyes, and after greeting her and Tim, he did not continue to disturb Ashley.
Ethan and Tanya were together.
Seeing Ethan beckon to him, he paused his steps slightly, then walked over.
Tanya saw him, and greeted him with her usual expression: “When did you get back?”
This morning.
Ethan heard this and asked:”Where’s Chase? He’s been on a business trip for two or three days now, when is he planning to come back?”
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Tanya’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she curved her lips into a smile, her mood improved, and she raised her phone and said, “Just got off the plane.”
After speaking, she lowered her head to reply to Chase’s message.
Zark saw that she and Chase had such a good relationship, and after taking a sip of wine, he turned his head to look at Ashley, a smile also appearing on his lips.
When Ashley was talking to someone, her gaze happened to meet his.
Seeing him looking over with a good-humored smile, she didn’t think much of it, nodded in greeting, and then looked away.
More than half an hour later, the banquet was about to end.
Ashley and Tim intended to greet the banquet host Mr. Landon and then leave.
When they went to find Mr. Landon, they happened to run into Zark, Ethan, and a few others.
They were all important guests of Mr. Landon. Seeing that they were planning to leave, Mr. Landon insisted on personally seeing them off downstairs.
As their group went downstairs, although Ashley and Tanya had both spoken, they had never exchanged words with each other. Catherine was even more annoyed upon seeing Ashley and kept glaring at her back.
Mr. Landon hadn’t initially noticed that the atmosphere among them was a bit off, but he did sense something during the trip downstairs.
However, he had no intention of asking more.
When their group arrived downstairs, Ashley and Tim were about to say goodbye when they saw Chase get out of a car,
Mr. Landon saw him and chuckled,”Mr. Sterling, didn’t you say you didn’t have time? Why are you here again?”
Catherine glanced at Ashley, then loudly interjected, “Chase just got back from his business trip, he’s here to pick up Tanya!”
Mr. Landon smiled,”Oh, so you’re here to show off your affection.”
Seeing Ashley and Tim, Chase also greeted them.
Tim and Ashley didn’t respond, only giving a cold nod.
Immediately after, Tim spoke to Mr. Landon, saying.”Mr. Landon, we’ll be heading off now.”
Mr. Landon. Alright, let’s get together again when we have time next.”
Ashley and Tim nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

After getting in the car, Tim wanted to complain a bit, but then he thought that Ashley was about to divorce Chase, and complaining more would just be a waste of breath, so he said nothing.
Just then, Ashley’s phone rang.
It was a call from Matt.
Ashley looked at it, thought for a moment, and didn’t answer.
Tim saw it and couldn’t help but say, “Matt is really quite good. You’re getting a divorce, are you really not going to consider him?”
Ashley put down her phone and shook her head, saying, “I don’t have that kind of feeling for him right now. Carelessly accepting his pursuit would be a very irresponsible act.”
“But you should at least try. Not liking him now doesn’t mean you won’t like him later.”
Ashley shook her head, “If I like him later, then we’ll talk about it later.”
