Chapter 427 

Jeffery told Matt about what had happened today.

Matt replied, “My father and grandfather have a good impression of Ashley and her grandmother. Maybe it has something to do with that.” 

Jeffery felt that David paid quite a lot of attention to Ashley and treated her in a special way. Even if David had a great impression of Ashley, wasn’t it strange? After all, they had only met once. But since Matt had said so, Jeffery didn’t delve deeper. 

The weather forecast said there would be rain this afternoon, and it might even snow. 

Before they finished their meal, 

their meal, Ashley noticed that it was raining outside. 

After the meal, the government officials had a deeper conversation with Ashley and other enterprise representatives about the situation of each enterprise last year and the development plan for this year. 

After the government officials thanked each enterprise again for their contributions to the economic development, this government–enterprise discussion officially came to an end. 

Chase, Ashley, and the others came to shake hands with David and other government officials one by one. 

When shaking hands with Ashley, David said, “It’s extremely cold today. I heard there was ice on the road outside. It’s slippery, so drive carefully.” 

Ashley said, “I will. Thank you, Mr. Adler.” 

Ashley, Chase, and other enterprise representatives left together for the parking lot outside. Chase was right beside her.“You’re wearing high heels. Be careful.” 

With so many people around, Ashley couldn’t just ignore him. She said, “I will. Thank you reminding me, Mr. Sterling.”

In this situation, she suddenly remembered something that had happened when she participated in the science and technology exhibition last year. 

At that time, they went to a restaurant for a dinner. She accidentally fell, and in order to avoid gossip, he didn’t even give her a hand. 

Now, however… 

When Chase said this, his voice was neither too loud nor too soft. 

What was more, he said that in the middle of a conversation with other entrepreneurs. He started the conversation, and he sounded like he was familiar with Ashley, so the people around them, including Jeffery, heard it. 

Among the enterprise representatives present, apart from Jeffery, there were also several entrepreneurs who had dined with them at the science and technology exhibition last year. Eternal rose to prominence at the end of last year, so Ashley’s popularity in their business circle had increased a great deal. 

Many people had thought she was here only because she was Tim’s woman, and they still remembered how she intentionally fell at the exhibition to seduce Chase, who remained unmoved.

But now…

If it was said that Chase was just being polite because Speed was working with Eternal, but why would Chase’s tone so intimate if they were just partners? 

The way he showed concern in such a familiar manner had just made things complicated. So, was Chase really charmed by Ashley? 

Jeffery hadn’t participated in the science and technology exhibition last year. He didn’t know about Ashley’s “deliberate” fall. 

All he knew was that he wasn’t overreacting. He had thought that Chase’s intimate tone towards Ashley was an illusion, but now everyone felt the same way. 

Just like the others, he felt that Chase was attracted by Ashley and seemed to be on the verge cheating.

Thinking of this, Jeffery looked at Chase and Ashley, and his face immediately turned cold. umbrella. Knowing that it would rain today, Ashley had specifically brought an

a knife, stinging her cheeks painfully. Although she knew it would rain and snow, she didn’t know it would be this big. It was already February, yet the snow was heavy, and the ground was slippery. 

The situation was much more serious than she had expected. 

When she stepped out of the door and was going down the steps, she felt a bit slippery. Worried about falling, she walked very carefully. 

People who were not familiar with Chase passed by her from the side, while Chase stood beside her, showing no sign of leaving in a hurry. 

Entrepreneurs who were familiar with Chase looked at them with teasing eyes.. Jeffery stopped in his tracks and was about to say something. 

At this moment, Ashley slipped forward. Just as she was about to fall, Chase quickly reached out and put his arm around her waist to support her. Before she could react, he picked her up in his 

arms.
