The R&D department was the core department of the company, and the employees generally did not go out.
Ronald didn’t expose Steven’s lie because when Steven lied to show off, he didn’t even have the qualifications to be Ronald’s opponent.
A wave of frustration washed over Steven. He felt even more depressed when he saw Ronald and Ashley standing together so well–matched.
“I’m not very familiar with the R&D department.” Steven faked a smile and then continued to ask, “Are you in charge of the R&D department?”
“No, I’m not,” Ronald answered honestly, which made Steven seem petty.
Since Ronald was not in charge, the crowd reasoned that he was just an ordinary employee. Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed they were right. Ashley didn’t have a good husband.
Then, Ronald was seen as an ordinary employee who was just a little more handsome, not even in the same league as them.
Twenty people were sitting around the large round table, and it was already packed with no empty seats. As the host of this gathering, Steven didn’t even ask the staff to add a chair when Ronald arrived.
Clearly, he was particularly envious of Ronald and wanted to embarra** Ronald.
Others could see it, too. No one would offend the well–known young and successful Steven for a regular employee of a company like Ronald.
Ashley felt sorry for Ronald when she saw him being excluded, and anger welled up inside her.
She reached out and held Ronald’s hand, expressionless as she said to everyone, “My husband is here to pick me up, so we’re leaving. Since we’re not on the same page, let’s never meet again. Farewell.”
With her words, the whole room fell silent.
Since they didn’t show any respect for Ashley, she didn’t need to be polite, either.
Ashley was already feeling uncomfortable when Cynthia snatched her phone, and now Ashley finally flared up.

When Ronald saw Ashley standing up for him, a hint of unnoticed tenderness crossed her face.
This girl always protects her loved ones.

Ashley turned to her teacher and said, “Mr. Lee, sorry about tonight. I’ll visit you another time.”
Mr. Lee sensed that something was off and smiled. “Drive safe!”
Seeing that Ashley was about to leave, Steven hastily said, “I drove a car here. Let mé give you a ride.”
Ronald declined. “No, thanks! I also drove here.”
He didn’t care about this group’s attitude. Besides, Ashley clearly didn’t like them, so there was no need to interact with them further.
“Then I’ll walk you to the door.” Steven insisted. “I have something coming up as well, so let’s leave together.”
Steven’s reaction displeased Ashley. After many years of being apart, she felt that Steven had become somewhat unfamiliar and aggressive.
Cynthia laughed. “I’ll go with you, too. Steven, can you give me a ride?”
Steven called over a waiter, paid the bill, and shamelessly joined Ashley and the others.
Ronald had parked the car in the open parking lot, and he walked with Ashley towards his car. The headlights of a Maybach turned on nearby.
Steven approached from behind and opened the door of the
Maybach, seemingly showing off, as he looked at Ashley and said, “Ashley, how about 1 drive you guys back?”
Ashley knew exactly what Steven was thinking. He was just showing off his luxury car.
“No, thanks!” Ashley looked at Ronald again and said, “Let’s go home.”
Ronald smiled and ignored Steven, opening the car door and saying, “Let’s go.”
Steven’s face darkened when he saw Ashley get into a Chevrolet only worth a little over 15 thousand dollars.
Ronald drove off. Steven’s face remained sour, and he couldn’t help. but kick a tire in frustration.

Cynthia, who followed them out, saw this and deliberately smiled. “Ashley’s husband is quite a good guy. He seems to treat her well, and they make a great match.
Steven sneered. “How can a pauper who drives a Chevrolet give Ashley happiness?”

Hearing his tone, Cynthia knew that he was still reluctant to give up.
Cynthia said, “You and Ashley haven’t seen each other for so many years. You’re no longer on the same page now. Ordinary life might be exactly what she prefers.”
Steven stared in the direction where Ashley left and said resentfully, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.‘
Cynthia was shocked. “Steven, Ashley is already married.”
“That guy doesn’t deserve her.”
On the way back, Ashley kept glancing at Ronald out of the corner of her eye.
Ronald had no expression on his face, which made it hard to read. his emotions.
Ashley hesitated and asked, “Well, I’m really sorry. Are you angry?” “Nope.” Ronald smiled and shook his head.
“Really?” Ashley sighed, “I thought you would be angry since my cla**mate embarra**ed you. I’m really sorry about that. Don’t take it to heart. If you’re angry, you can just vent it on me.”
Ronald was amused by her cautiousness and said, “I’m not angry, really, and I didn’t take it to heart. I’m actually quite happy about it.” Those people, including Steven, weren’t even worth Ronald’s attention.
Ashley was surprised. “Happy? Why?”
Ronald laughed. “The way you stood up for me just now was quite domineering. I didn’t expect you to have such a hot temper.”
Ashley immediately felt embarra**ed and gave an awkward smile. “I’m usually very gentle and never get into arguments with people.”
She wondered if Ronald would misunderstand her as a shrew.

Ronald chuckled, glanced at her, and suddenly asked, “Is that guy
