Save Myself from Desperation

“Ashley?”

Joseph picked up the mobile phone on the ground and looked around. the room but couldn’t find Ashley.

He thought, ‘Has she gone out? No, if she goes out, she won’t drop her phone on the ground or close the door.

With this in mind, Joseph's heart suddenly skipped a beat.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Could something really happen to Ashley this time?

Ashley had been separated from the group by the crowd yesterday, but fortunately, she met George on the roadside.

Joseph’s expression became stern. He immediately turned around and ran to Lester and George’s rooms to see if Ashley had gone to find them.

George sat on the sofa in Lester’s room with the paternity test report in his hand. He stared grimly at the results on the last page. “Are you also surprised, George?”

Lester sighed.

The first time he met Ashley, he felt an inexplicable affinity for her, and Ashley was as old as his lost sister.

In addition, Ashley’s facial features were also similar to those of Lester’s mother when she was young.

These signs made Lester believe that Ashley was probably the biological sister he had been looking for.

But the results let him down.

He had the wrong person once again.

Ashley had no blood relationship with the Pliskin family.

Lester thought the fact was unexpected and unacceptable, but the result was unmistakable. Ashley was really not his sister. He didn’t know how much his biological sister had suffered while

alone. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and shoul

lived a happy and carefree life and been loved by all her family...

Lester sighed again. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

“What are you thinking about, George?”

George stared at the paternity test report in his hand with incomprehensible emotions in his cold eyes. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lester went to open the door and saw Joseph. “Has Ashley come to see you?” Joseph asked anxiously, getting straight to the point. “No. what happened?” Lester asked..

“It's over. Something might really happen to Ashley this time.” Joseph was sweating profusely with Ashley’s mobile phone in his hand. “I went to look for her just now. The door of her room was open, and her mobile phone was on the ground, but she was not in the room.”

Lester’s expression instantly became stern upon hearing this.

George heard their conversation and strode over. His voice was cold. “The door is open? Go to the hotel management to check the surveillance footage.”

Joseph nodded and went to the rooms of Jaden, Bryce, and Miranda, but Ashley was not there. “Ashley is missing?” Miranda was anxious and ran out in slippers.

“Has anyone come to Ashley?” Bryce asked. His eyes were full of worrie

Upon hearing this, Jaden thought of something and frowned. Could it be...that man...

“Check the hotel surveillance footage first.” Joseph’s palms were sweaty. He ran to the hotel receptionist and asked to check the surveillance footage of the corridor.

Generally, in five-star hotels, there were surveillance cameras in the corridors.

The door to Ashley’s room was open, but no one was there. If someone had come to see her, that person must have appeared in the corridor. Joseph would know who it was as long as he checked the surveillance footage.

Joseph explained his intention to the receptionist.

The receptionist didn’t agree at once and said, “Sorry, sir. | have to ask the hotel manager for permission, then you can check it.” Joseph frowned. It would be too late to find Ashley if he had to follow the procedure before getting the permission.

At this time, George suddenly spoke with a cold voice. “Is the hotel manager Alfred? I’ll call him.”

“Mr. Pliskin!” The young receptionist immediately recognized George and Lester next to him. After all, the Pliskin family had property in Manditus and a high status.

George had already called Alfred and put him on speakerphone.

Then, the receptionist heard Alfred’s flattering voice. “Okay, okay, Mr. Pliskin. | will arrange for someone to retrieve the surveillance footage for you right away.”

The receptionist understood instantly. The group of people in front of her were all distinguished guests and could not be ignored.

She immediately dialed the hotel’s internal phone number and asked the security personnel to retrieve the hotel’s surveillance footage.

In the security room, the staff quickly retrieved the surveillance footage in the hotel corridors and elevators.

The picture showed that the surveillance cameras were fine before four o’clock in the afternoon, but after that, the cameras suddenly broke down, and the picture was dark, and nothing could be seen.

“There may be a problem with the wiring, and the cameras suddenly broke,” the staff speculated and explained. Joseph panicked. The wiring had no problem. Someone must have deliberately destroyed the surveillance cameras. Lester frowned, “Someone must have come to Ashley.”

George took out his mobile phone and called the accompanying bodyguards, asking them to look for Ashley nearby. Jaden thought for a while. He walked away with his mobile phone, found
