Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 55

Chapter 32

In Yonnie’s eyes, Ashley was simply jealous of Tanya being with Chase, so she stopped Tanya from working at Eternal. Ashley, lacking skills and education, resorted to petty tactics. Yonnie found her pathetic. And likely, Chase felt the same way. Ashley, however, had no idea about it and was probably still basking in her perceived victory over Tanya.

Yonnie believed that Ashley was nothing compared to Tanya.

Mark sighed. “I know. He agreed with Yonnie. But she wouldn’t listen to me.”

“She really is…” Yonnie trailed off. She wanted to say that Ashley was as stubborn as her mother, but she knew that conversations about Ashley’s mother were rarely pleasant.

“Regarding SLAM…”

Let’s talk to Tanya when she gets back.” Mark took it very seriously. They’d poured significant money into VR over the years, but their products lacked cutting-edge technology, hindering their progress. Eternal, on the other hand, thrived on SLAM, generating millions annually without much effort. Their envy was palpable. If they could acquire SLAM’s core technology and integrate it into their projects, their company would skyrocket, potentially achieving a billion-dollar valuation.

Just then, Tanya arrived. She greeted her father and aunt.

Tanya’s back?” Yonnie’s face lit up. Her affection and admiration for Tanya were evident.

Tanya nodded, sitting down.”What were you discussing?”

“Still about SLAM,” Mark said.”Since you couldn’t join Eternal, what are your plans? Did Chase say anything?”

“Chase said he’d help me connect with Burke.”

Burke was a leading figure in this country’s VR industry. He was highly regarded by the government, his whereabouts kept secret.

Tim was one of Burke’s few disciples, and SLAM was rumored to be Burke’s creation. If the Tim route was blocked, they had to try

Burke.

That’s good,” Mark said, though with some concern.”Tim is Burke’s student. If he said anything negative about you to Burke, could that…?”

“It shouldn’t be a problem,” Yonnie laughed.”Mark, you don’t know Burke. He values talent above all else. Tanya is a genius. If she gets a chance to meet Burke, with her expertise, she’ll certainly impress him. Burke might even take her on as a disciple.”

Mark chuckled. That’s true.”

Yonnie asked, “When will Chase arrange you a meeting with Burke?”

Tanya took a sip of water. Next week’s tech expo. Burke will be there.”

They knew about the expo, but their company lacked the clout to secure a ticket. However, with Chase’s influence…

Yonnie and Mark exchanged glances.

Tanya added, Chase gave me two tickets, but only two.”

‘It doesn’t matter who goes with you. The point is that you will be there.”

Yonnie agreed, smiling.

“Exactly.”

Chase was busy.

Over the next two days, he wasn’t home. Sam was bored and called Ashley again. Ashley, who had already moved on from the previous encounter,

answered.

“Mom, when are you coming home…”

Learning Chase wasn’t home, Ashley went home after work. Sam was thrilled, telling her about school and his new game, planning to teach her to play. After he finished his homework, Ashley played the game with him.

Sam was so happy that he wanted her to sleep with him. Ashley didn’t want to sleep in the master bedroom and agreed.

On Thursday night, as Ashley was bringing out the dishes, Sam called out, Dad, you’re back!”

A deep voice answered, “Hmm, did you eat?

Not yet, but dinner is almost ready.”
