Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 193 So, Ashley went to Miranda’s room.

She told Miranda that Valentin was worried about her leaving the hotel, so they wouldn’t buy souvenirs. If there were anything to discuss, they would do it in the room.

Miranda’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Wow, Mr. Kingsley is so concerned about you! He’s really thoughtful!” she exclaimed. Ashley didn’t know what to say. Miranda said, a bit embarrassed, “I never thought of that!”

Quickly, she pulled Ashley to sit beside her on the bed, her cheeks slightly red with excitement. “Seriously, | was too excited to eat breakfast. | never imagined I'd have the chance to sit at the same table with Mr. Kingsley. It’s all thanks to you, Ashley!”

Ashley found her words were so funny. “It’s just a meal.” “But it’s different. It’s not just any meal when it’s with Valentin!” Valentin was a noble tycoon with power and influence. Most people wouldn’t even get a chance to see him! Unable to hide her excitement and curiosity, Miranda asked, “Ashley, when did you and Mr. Kingsley get married?” “Almost a year now.” “Wow, that long!” In her heart, Ashley thought, ‘Actually, agreement. s almost time for our divorce “When did you guys meet?” Miranda’s imagination was running wild, already picturing a romantic drama. Ashley briefly answered, “We knew each other as kids, but then we were apart for a while. We reunited a year ago.” Miranda’s eyes lit up again. “You're childhood sweethearts! That's so meant to be!” Ashley’s eyes lit up with a small smile, finding the term “childhood sweethearts” much nicer than Jaden’s childhood fiance” label. 115 da suddenly figured something out. “Now i retinat’s why Mr. sley bid on your bracelet at the charity dinner randaid he was your fan.

Ryan’s brow furrowed, his voice filled with disappointment and reluctance. “Miranda, why let Ashley affect our relationship?” sister,

Miranda held the phone emotionlessly and said, “Ashley is your and you mistreat her. | can’t believe you'd be any better to me, a stranger.”

Ryan was taken aback and tried to justify himself. “Yes, Ashley is my sister, but look what she did to the Ramos family. Our family is in ruins because of her! My mom has been sick and hospitalized, Frankie’s whereabouts are unknown, Jeremy and Matthew are hardly home, Jessica was forced out of the entertainment industry, and only my dad struggles to keep the crumbling Ramos Group afloat. It’s all Ashley’s fault!”

“Don't twist the truth! It was you who hurt Ashley first. She was only defending herself!”

Miranda was trembling with anger. “Just look at Jessica. How many times has she harmed Ashley? Frankie and Bertha made up lies to slander Ashley, trying to get her jailed. All these things are known all over the internet. Which one of them is not true? Did Ashley ever do anything wrong to you all before she left the Ramos family? Wasn’t she good enough for you?”

Before leaving the Ramos family...

Ryan remembered how, before Ashley left, she was like a dignity-less person, desperately trying to please them, seeking a bit of affection.

Ashley knew he liked racing cars, so she stayed up all night to make a car model for him. He didn’t even glance at it and smashed it on the floor.

He later found out Ashley was allergic to mangoes and deliberately made her eat them, wanting to see her ugly allergic reaction. At first, Ashley refused, but he sternly told her that he would ignore her forever if she didn’t eat.

Hearing this, Ashley immediately stuffed the mango into her mouth. He even threatened her, saying a few bites weren’t enough. She had to eat all five mangoes.

Her allergy made her entire body break out in itchy, swollen rashes, and she was almost unconscious. He laughed loudly at her miserable state.

Enduring her allergic discomfort, Ashley cautiously asked if he would accept another racing car model she’d make by staying up late again. Of course, he refused and pushed her away, walking off.

Chanzer P32 Remembering these past events, Ryan frowned. “Ashley is my sister. It’s only right toon her to be good to me. Isn’t it normal for sisters to be nice to their bodies?” Miranda found this absurd. “And you're her brother. Why don’t you treat herwell? 1. Ruanasut a loss for words.

He felt that it was all because of Ashley, the evil luck charm, that Miranda thought so little of him. He would never forgive Ashley in his life!

Ashley returned to her room and saw Valentin sitting on the balcony chair, resting with his eyes closed.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly as she approached, and he opened his eyes, revealing a fleeting brilliance. “Are you sleeping?” Ashley walked up to him.

“No.” Valentin replied calmly, “You don’t understand me, not even knowing if I’m asleep.”

“Don’t be unreasonable.”

Valentin lifted his gaze, silently looking at her.

Ashley stood in front of him, their eyes meeting. Her delicate features seemed like a painting. “I've wanted to ask you something, and now is a good time.”
