Chapter 432

Seeing Tim and Burke, Jeffery understood why Ashley was here.

Jeffery nodded.“Mm.”

Edward smiled.“Derek, is this your son?”

Derek laughed.“Yes.”

here.“Business dinner?” he asked.

Jeffery knew who Edward and Calvin were; he also knew his father had good relations with them. But Edward and Calvin, like Burke, were incredibly busy. Even with his father’s connections, he’d never actually met them. Edward’s friendly greeting prompted him to shake hands with him politely.“I’m flattered,” he said.

Then he saw Tanya and Mark get out of a car. He froze. Seeing the group of people, Tanya and Mark were equally surprised. Burke and Calvin were not someone you could meet every day. They also saw Ashley and Tim. Tim was Burke’s student, and Eternal’s success was a source of pride for Burke. Introducing Tim to his connections was normal.

Like Jeffery, they assumed Ashley was there because of Tim. Still, meeting Calvin and Burke was an extraordinary honor. They’d heard about Burke’s extensive network. Seeing the caliber of his associates solidified just how powerful his connections were.

They also recognized David and Derek–both of them were big shots. Tanya knew this. When Jeffery looked at them, Tanya nodded and smiled.

Derek followed Jeffery’s gaze. He didn’t recognize Tanya or Mark but, seeing Jeffery’s apparent interest, he asked, “Acquaintances?”

Jeffery answered, “Mm.”
