Save Myself from Desperation

In the living room of the Ramos Villa, Evan and Bertha sat in the main sents.

Frankie, Charlie, and Matthew were seated on the sofa.

Even Ryan had come back from abroad especially.

Ryan was an Internationally renowned race car driver with short hair and a rugged appearance,

In the center of the living room, Jeremy cast a cold glance at the tearful Jessica. He picked up the remote control and replayed the video of the incident when he was kidnapped by criminals, making it clear to everyone in the Ramos familly.

“Mom, Dad, Frankie, Charlie, Ryan, Matthew, you all see it now. This is the truth back then. The one who saved me back then was Ashley, not Jessical Jessica not only escaped on her own but also deceived mel”

Jessica cried uncontrollably, her tears falling incessantly. “Jeremy, I’m sorry for what | did. Do whatever you want to me. | won’t try to defend myself”

Jeremy sneered, “Do you even have the face to defend yourself? The facts are right here. Are you capable of defending yourself?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Hearing this, Bertha interrupted Jeremy with a pained expression, “Enough, Jeremy. Don’t be rude to Jessica like this. Jessien, what you did this time is indeed wrong. How could you lie?”

Seeing Bertha’s empathy, Jessica immediately cried with tears in her eyes. “Mom, please don’t blame Jeremy. Everything is my fault. Jeremy can scold me however he wants. | deserve it.

With the video evidence in place, Jessica knew that any further attempt to defend herself would be in vain. Instead, she chose to cry, admitting her mistakes and hoping to gain sympathy from the other members of the Ramos family.

With this in mind, Jessica suddenly cried and kept saying she was sorry. Bertha immediately felt heartbroken and said, “Jessica, my poor jessica, don’t’cry.”

Jeremy’s expression remained cold, and he spoke with emphasis. “Mom, from now on, | only have one sister, and that’s Ashley! As for Jessica, she has no blood relation to me, and she will never be sister!”

Frankie frowned at Jeremy’s words, “Jeremy... Matthew, being younger, couldn’t stay seated and stood up. “Jeremy, how can you say that about Jessica?” my

Evan, with the authority of the family head, spoke. “Jeremy, | understand you're angry now, but think about it. Although Jessica took credit for Ashley’s achievements, Ashley hasn’t suffered any losses.

She's still fine now.”

With an incredulous expression, Jeremy retorted, “Dad, how can you say that? Ashley is your biological daughter!” Evan furrowed his brows. He knew Ashley was his biological daughter.

But he tended to side with Jessica because she was less troublesome.

Jeremy took a deep breath and clenched his fists. “Jessica must pay the price for her mistakes. A person with such a malicious heart doesn’t deserve to stay in the Ramos family!”

Matthew was shocked and angered, exclaiming, “Jeremy, are you going to kick Jessica out of the Ramos family?” Ryan, who had been silent, couldn’t hold back and said, Jeremy, calm down. Jessica was just a child at

that time, and she was also frightened. She acknowledged her mistake now, didn’t she?”

Matthew chimed in, “Exactly, Jeremy. Jessica has already apologized. Don’t be so unforgiving.”

Frankie thought for a moment and said, “Jeremy, since we misunderstood Ashley, bring her back to the Ramos family, and resume her position as the Ramos family’s heiress. This should be enough for her. Don’t hold a grudge against Jessica anymore.”

Listening to these absurd words and looking at the faces in front of him, Jeremy suddenly understood why Ashley chose to sever ties with the Ramos family.

‘What kind of family members are they?’ He thought. Jeremy forced a bitter smile, his tone filled with sarcasm.

“Resume her position as the Ramos family’s heiress? Enough? Frankie, what the hell are you talking about! You can’t relate to things that haven’t happened to you, can you?”

Evan slammed the table. “Enough! Jessica has already apologized. What more do you want?” Jeremy glared at him angrily. “If you don’t kick Jessica out of the Ramos family, then | will sever ties with you!” Upon hearing this, Bertha covered her chest, breathing heavily. “Jeremy, you...”

Charlie, who had been quiet, quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Jeremy. “Jeremy, Mom is not in good health. Don’t make her angry!”

Still on her knees, Jessica crawled step by step to Bertha, crying pitifully. “Mom, please don’t be angry. | can leave the Ramos family if Jeremy doesn’t forgive me.”

Evan quickly lifted her up with concern. “Jessica, get up. This is your home. No one can kick you out of this family without my permission!”

Bertha staggered to her feet, grabbing Jeremy’s hand. “No a family.” One is allowed to leave. We ar Jeremy asked expressionlessly, “Mom, what about Ashley? Isn’t she your daughter?”

Bertha fell silent for a moment before speaking. Jeremy, don’t take me wrong. Ashley has only been back in the Ramos family for two years, while I’ve watched Jessica grow up from an early age. If you were me, who would you bond with more?”

Jeremy felt a chill in his heart. “Mom, so you know. Ashley has only been back for two years. Shouldn't we compensate her more?” Bertha blurted out, “But we shouldn't mistreat Jessica either!”

Ryan quickly added, “Jeremy, | left the competition and came back from overseas this time just to see Jessica. | won't forgive you if you kick her out of the Ramos family”

Matthew chipred in, Jeremy, I’m against it too.”

Frankie said, “Enough, Jeremy. You're still in anger. Calm down.”

Jeremy weakly tugged at the corner of his lips, his face filled with bitterness.

‘Ashley, | truly understand why you said the Ramos family is disgusting, he said inwardly.

Jeremy cast a cold glance at Jessica. Sooner or later, he would drive her out of the Ramos family.

Right now, he couldn’t sever ties with the Ramos family. He had to stay there.

If Jessica or anyone from the Ramos family tried to harm Ashley, he would be the first to inform her. Matthew took the opportunity to escort Jessica back to her room and comforted her with a few gentle words.

Chapter 52 He thought Jessica must be terrified today. Matthew blamed Ashley for stirring up such chaos in the Ramos family.

After leaving Jessica’s room, he took out his phone and checked the chat with Ash. “Why hasn’t Ash been responding lately?* He thought.

Ash was Matthew’s most respected mentor.

Though Matthew was a popular singer in showbiz, he had once faced criticism for being unable to produce good songs. People said he had lost his touch, and he gradually became afraid to attend public events, even falling into depression and contemplating leaving the industry.

It was Ash who inspired him, helping him create new songs and winning the Most Popular Male Singer Award. Ash not only brought him honor but also saved him from a life-threatening situation.

Ash was the most mysterious and renowned composer in the country, gaining widespread fame with the song The Land. Despite having countless fans, no one had ever seen Ash’s real face, let alone the gender.

Many aspired to become Ash’s student, but Ash publicly accepted only one student. That was Matthew. It was considered an immense honor.

Matthew felt proud to be Ash’s student and held great reverence for his mentor.

However, recently, all the messages Matthew sent to Ash got no reply.

‘Is Ash too busy to reply to me?” He thought

At the Kingsley Villa, after returning from the resort, Ashley felt a bit hesitant to face Valentin. Every time she saw the corner of his mouth where she had bitten him, she felt uneasy.

Yet, Valentin always flaunted the bitten mouth in front of her. He would walk past her, grab something nearby, or ask her what she wanted for lunch.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ashley couldn't resist asking when she saw Valentin pass by her for the eighteenth time. “Today is a workday. Why have you been at home all day? Aren’t you going to the office?”

Valentin stopped in his tracks, casually glancing at her. “I’m not in the mood, so | want to take a break for a couple of days.” Ashley was surprised. “Not in the mood? What happened?”

Valentin stood in front of Ashley, looking down at her from head to toe. His tone was lazy and casual. “I was forcefully kissed, and that woman refused to take responsibility.”
