Save Myself from Desperation

Colby handed Andrew the report respectfully.

Andrew took it and saw the findings on it. His look changed for a split

second, so fast it was almost impossible to catch. And in a flash, it

returned to calm.

Colby observed Andrew’s demeanor and found it too meaningful to tell if Ashley was related to the Pliskin family. Of course, Colby didn’t dare ask without permission.

Andrew put the report away. Without turning back to the villa, he just stood there motionless in the night in silence. Acool wind blew by, and the moon was dimmed. There was silence all around.

Colby shivered inexplicably, not daring to say anything as his expression grew more serious.

He thought, ‘Look at the look on Mr. Banks’ face, standing silent for a long time. Is there something wrong with this report? Or is there something tricky and serious?”

He'd never seen Andrew like this before.

Just as Colby was getting nervous, Andrew, who had been silent in the cool night, finally spoke up. Colby’s spine tensed at once, and his expression was grave as he looked toward Andrew.

As a result, in the next instant, he heard Andrew ask in a puzzled tone, “Colby, am | ugly?”

Colby was confused.

He had just been very nervous, thinking something was wrong with the report or something serious had happened, but he hadn’t expected to hear that question after waiting so long.

Of course, Colby didn’t dare complain or feel resentful.

Frozen for two seconds, Colby asked with a highly complex expression, “What makes you think that?” 115

Without exaggeration, Andrew’s face was handsome and extremely

attractive to women, sometimes making even Colby, a man, feel a faster heartbeat when he looked at it. His face had nothing to do with being ugly.

Colby looked at Andrew, wondering why he was suddenly asking such a question that didn’t match his appearance, but basically guessed that it had something to do with Ashley.

Andrew sighed softly as he looked into the darkness and said again, “Prepare me a huge rock.” Colby was confused again. He didn’t understand why Andrew would suddenly want a huge rock when they had just been discussing whether he was ugly.

Colby couldn’t keep up with Andrew’s thoughts and was so dumbfounded that he even suspected he’d misheard. “Sorry, Mr. Banks, a huge rock?”

Andrew glanced at him faintly. “Is there a problem?”

“No!” Colby immediately shook his head, not daring to have a problem.

“Oh, and the electric welding stuff. Prepare that, too.”

“Electric welding?” Colby was confused again.

“| want to impress her.” Andrew wanted to get back at Ashley for liking Valentin.

Colby looked dumbfounded and incredulous for several seconds before nodding stiffly and responding slowly.

He thought, ‘Is this a new way to pursue someone? Honestly, | feel like this is much less likely to succeed in pursuing Ashley...

Colby coughed lightly and reported seriously, “Mr. Banks, I’ve figured out that Ashley was kidnapped this time by someone Cara found.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the carelessness in Andrew's brow was steeply covered by gloom.

Thinking about the injury on Ashley’s waist, Andrew became very serious, and a gloomy violence filled his eyes. “Cara...” Colby knew Cara was doomed as soon as he saw the look of Andrew.

After listening to that, Joseph said, “Andrew kinda did a good job...” With that, he glanced worriedly at Valentin’s face, wondering if Valentin would be jealous.

Valentin’s eyes were profound, and his complexion had no discernible difference. After listening to the doctor’s precautions, Valentin asked Tom to send the doctor out of the room.

Ashley showed how much she missed Valentin as soon as the doctor left. Still sitting on the couch, she reached her arms towards Valentin. “Come on. Hug me.”

Valentin instantly tensed a bit when he saw her do this. “Will this stretch. the wound?”

Honestly, it somewhat stretched the wound and hurt a little bit. But Ashley still stretched her arms towards Valentin and puffed out her cheeks. “But | want to hug you.”

Joseph, the bachelor, covered his eyes in time but still saw it. He thought, ‘Forget it. I've long been used to them being like this.”

Valentin sat directly on the couch and took Ashley onto his lap so that she wouldn't stretch out her arms and legs when she refused to be quiet for even a moment when she was hurt.

Ashley nestled in Valentin’s arms. She was instantly comfortable when she finally got to hold Valentin, who she had missed, and the wound didn’t hurt.

Feeling inexplicably redundant here, Joseph coughed twice helplessly and asked, “Ashley, what the hell happened?”

Ashley briefly told the story of her kidnapping.

Joseph was shocked to hear that. “Damn it. Did those kidnappers really have guns? Luckily, you’re smart and skillful, or else...” Or else, she would have gotten more than just a sneak attack from a dagger at her waist...

Valentin’s arms around Ashley tightened instantly as he finished listening.

Ashley soothingly patted Valentin’s hand, not wanting him to worry too

much.

Joseph took a cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Ashley.

“Here’s your cell phone. | picked it up for you. So you know from those kidnappers that it was Cara who got someone to kidnap you. That's right. Valentin also found out that it was Cara who was behind it!”

Ashley looked at Valentin. “Did you find out?” Valentin answered, “Yes. Now Cara is being watched.” She could never run away.

Ashley’s eyes became slightly serious. She suddenly remembered something and asked Valentin, “You asked me earlier, ‘Did it ever occur to you that you might be related to the Pliskin family?’ Did you find out something? Am | really related to the Pliskin family?”
