Ashley was still at Eternal when Zark called. She answered.“Mr. Green?”

Zark’s voice softened at the sound of her voice. “You haven’t seen Betty for a while. Are you free this weekend? We could
go for a walk.”
Ashley glanced at her schedule. “I’m busy these next two days. How about next week?”
His tone dropped slightly.“Okay. Next week it is.”
“Good.” Ashley was still focused on her work.“Goodbye then?”
“…Okay.”
Ashley hung up. She didn’t leave Eternal until after 10 PM. The next morning, she went to Marshall’s mansion. Sam was over two years old when Marshall went abroad. At that time, he was adorable and close to Marshall. He even cried when Marshall left. Even though Chase wasn’t very close to Sam back then, he must have known it.
The last time Marshall invited Chase to his house, he really wanted Chase to bring Sam with him. But Chase brought Tanya instead. Marshall said Sam would be there this time, but when Ashley arrived, he wasn’t around.

After a while, Marshall said, “I heard that jerk planned to bring that woman to Emily’s birthday party, but Emily didn’t agree. She said she wouldn’t attend if Chase did so.”
Ashley stopped drinking her tea.
Marshall continued, “Chase is not a pushover, but it’s his grandma’s first birthday celebration in ten years. It seems he’s compromised. But Emily’s still in a bad mood because of it. If you have time, give her a phone call.”
Ashley replied, “…Okay.”
Chase had already called her, texted her, even come to her company. Though he hadn’t contacted her since then, she hadn’t thought about it much. But Marshall’s words made her realize it was because Chase had agreed not to bring Tanya to Emily’s birthday party. He no longer needed to bargin with her.
Marshall added, “Alex and the others won’t allow him

Before Ashley could say something, Marshall walked to Sam with a smile. But his expression changed upon seeing Chase come out of the car.

Ignoring Chase, Marshall looked kindly at Sam.“Sam, I’m Marshall Cook. We used to play together. Do you remember?” Sam, holding Ashley’s hand, shook his head. Chase glanced at Ashley but said nothing. After telling Marshall he was leaving, he got into the car and drove away.
