Chapter 405.
Most everyone there, including Jeffery and Ethan, assumed Ashley called William and Riley “Professor” and “Professor’s wife” because she was with
Tim.
Especially since Tim’s parents and Steve and his wife were all there tonight.
And seeing Tim’s parents and Steve and his wife greet each other so warmly, like they were already one big family, just solidified that idea for everyone.
When Gabriel arrived, he barely got a glance.
He saw everyone gossiping about Ashley and Tim, but he still didn’t buy it. He knew they weren’t that kind of couple.
And William? Ashley was clearly brilliant. Maybe he’d already taken her on as his student.
Tim was the most sought-after bachelor in their elite circles right now.
The Jones family wasn’t exactly high society in Belfort. So, when rumors flew that Tim was serious about Ashley, plenty of people got jealous. But deep- down, they still didn’t take Ashley seriously.
But the real tech giants from back home? They showed Ashley major props. After greeting William and his wife, they all made a point to go chat with Ashley.
Others might have been clueless, but these tech titans? They knew exactly what Ashley was capable of.
Their evaluations showed Ashley was practically on par with Tim. Eternal’s explosive, stable growth over the last six months? Ashley was the unsung hero behind it all.
Poaching Ashley would basically mean owning half of Eternal.
“Ms. Jones, long time no see! Remember me? We met a while back. I’ve been watching those two projects Eternal’s working on the ideas and potential are seriously good. I heard you spearheaded both? Mr. Reed’s young and talented, but having an outstanding employee like you running things? Talk about lucky.”
He finished, then, with a curious glint, he asked, “Someone with your AI brilliance, Ms. Jones, is exactly what we’re looking for. Why Eternal? Did we screw up somewhere?”
Jeffery frowned, watching as several major business players not only flocked to Ashley, but were all super friendly about it.
He actually knew about Eternal’s recent boom.
Ashley had definitely made a name for herself in AI. The buzz in the industry was that Eternal’s Mr. Reed’s girlfriend was an Al guru, practically his equal in talent.
But was Ashley really that amazing?
Businessmen don’t make a move without a reason. Mr. Foster and those other big shots? They weren’t to be messed with. For powerful guys like them to humble themselves and seek out Ashley? That alone spoke volumes.
Ashley’s skills might be legit, but her character? Jeffery wouldn’t praise that to save his life.
Thinking that, he immediately thought of Tanya. His eyes flicked to her,
Eternal’s gala was buzzing tonight.
After all, William rarely showed up at events like this.
