Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 384

Chapter 362

Tanya gave a faint smile and said, “I finished up what I was doing, so I came over.”

The truth was, she felt uneasy. She’d left Speed even before her meeting was halfway done.

She knew Chase didn’t need to be at this meeting Ashley was attending, but just as she expected, he’d gone out of his way to come down from upstairs specifically to listen to Ashley’s presentation.

Thinking of this, a bitter feeling rose in her chest, and her expression stiffened slightly.

Chase checked his watch. “I’ve got a video conference starting in about ten minutes, and it’ll run for over an hour. Wanna come upstairs and hang out for a bit first?”

Tanya: “Okay.”

That afternoon, Tanya returned to the Mond Family home. Mary saw her and asked, “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you go out for dinner with Chase?”

“He had some stuff to deal with.”

“I see.”

Tanya was a bit tired. After changing her shoes, she headed upstairs to rest, but Vivian noticed the expression on her face. Did something happen?” Vivian asked.”You haven’t seemed yourself lately.”

Tanya paused imperceptibly, then casually replied, “Nothing, I’m just a bit tired.”

Things had indeed been hectic at Speed lately, and the crucial technology hadn’t seen a breakthrough. It was natural for her to be bothered.

So, Vivian didn’t press the issue. She just told someone to prepare a tonic for her and urged her to come have some.

Jane was already off work too.

Seeing Tanya sit down beside her, she said, “Tanya.”

Tanya gave a quiet “Mm” in response.

As Tanya was eating, Ruby, who was cracking melon seeds, suddenly remembered something.”Oh, by the way,” she said, “the Ashcroft family’s daughter got dumped by the Rumbold family.”

The ‘Ashcroft family” and “Rumbold family” Ruby was referring to were actually from Zentopia.

The Ashcrofts and Rumbolds were families of comparable standing. The Ashcroft daughter and the Rumbold’s eldest son had practically grown up together. Both were exceptionally talented, and word was their relationship had always been quite good.

The Ashcroft daughter wasn’t just pretty; she was smart too. She’d apparently secured several patents while still in college, which directly boosted her family’s company to the next level.

The Rumbold family had been very pleased with their future daughter-in-law. There had been talk of a wedding happening soon, so it was a real shock that the Rumbolds had called off the engagement.

Mary, Tanya’s grandma, also grew curious.”Why the sudden breakup?” she asked. ‘Did something happen?”

“Okay, this whole thing is pretty wild, like a bad soap opera. Word is, the Rumbold heir cheated with Ashcroft daughter assistant. Apparently, the assistant has a master’s degree and she’s pretty sharp, even though professionally she’s not even in the same league as the Ashcroft daughter. But they say she’s got a fun personality, totally unlike the Ashcroft daughter, who’s all work and no play, just holed up in the lab all day, super dull. Anyway, the Rumbold family’s eldest son is absolutely dead set on breaking off the engagement…”

“Wait, didn’t they say before that the Rumbold heir really admired the Ashcroft daughter? Said she was talented, and she is stunning. Plus, he’s known for being so calm and collected. You’d never expect him to do something like this, it’s just…”

“Right? But then again, a man’s affections are a fickle thing, aren’t they? It’s not like guys will just fall for you just because you’re amazing.

“Exactly.” Catherine’s mood was still pretty sour, but hearing that, she perked up a bit and couldn’t help but chime in, “So what if a girl’s talented and capable? She’s got nothing else going for her. Over time, it’s totally normal for the Rumbold heir to

get bored, know?”
