Save Myself from Desperation

David thought, ‘Of course, | saw who Ashley was with. It was Valentin, and they were already married. But this marriage has not been made. public. Not a whisper of it has been heard. If | had known Ashley was Valentin’s wife, | wouldn’t have dared to flirt with her, anyway. It seemed like Valentin and Ashley had a secret, marriage.”

Having just offended Valentin, David dared not stir up more trouble by revealing their marital status, especially since he surmised it was kept a

secret.

Thinking about how he had angered Valentin and possibly ruined his own life, David was filled with regret and rage, glaring at Jessica. “This is all your fault, wench!”

Jessica, insulted for no reason, couldn’t hold back any longer and started yelling, “David, have you lost your mind?!” She thought, ‘No matter what, | am the heiress of the Ramos family. How dare this fat fool insult me like this?’

Yet, seeing the stark difference in David before and after he entered, she couldn't help but wonder, ‘What exactly happened inside? Who did David see that scared him so much? The higher the status of the man inside, the more it proves that Ashley is being kept. Otherwise, why would such a powerful and influential man stay with Ashley? He can’t genuinely have fallen for Ashley, can he?”

Jessica secretly gritted her teeth in anger, thinking, ‘l must expose the man who’s keeping Ashley. Will Jeremy continue to favor Ashley, then? Will he still want to atone for Ashley? He'll probably just feel disgusted! Sooner or later, all the attention of the Ramos family members will return to me!’

Meanwhile, Ashley had only walked a few steps in the hall when Valentin caught up with her.

Valentin blocked her path, slightly leaning forward, and his deep gaze fixed on her. His low, magnetic voice was seductive and enticing as he said, “Babe, when are you going to make up with me?”

Ashley had heard the term of endearment “babe” from him before, but her heart still skipped a beat. 115

She glared at Valentin, feeling embarrassed, thinking, ‘Forever!”

Ashley was determined not to speak to him again.

Valentin lowered his gaze and chuckled softly. He then noticed some grass clippings on her shoes, probably from playing outside earlier.

Valentin then asked a server for a tissue. Taking the tissue from the server, Valentin knelt on one knee before Ashley, carefully removing the grass from her shoes. Ashley was momentarily stunned, her eyes widened in surprise.

Valentin, without any hesitation, knelt in front of her, using hands that had signed million-dollar contracts and exuded unparalleled dignity, to clean her shoes attentively.

Ashley’s chest tightened as she was overwhelmed by indescribable emotions. “Wow! What have my clever eyes just witnessed!”

Joseph appeared out of nowhere, covering his eyes with his hands but deliberately leaving a small gap to peek through, laughing mischievously while looking in their direction.

Ashley’s expression immediately turned grim.

However, Valentin remained unaffected and continued cleaning the grass off Ashley’s shoes until they were spotless. Ashley quickly pulled him to his feet.

Valentin’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and he seized the opportunity to hold

her hand.

Ashley’s ears heated up, and she jerked his hand away as if electrocuted. She thought angrily, ‘We are in the middle of a fight, in the middle of cutting ties. Can’t you take this seriously?!”

Joseph had initially thought Valentin and Ashley had reconciled, but it became apparent that Ashley was still upset with Valentin, seemingly still in the midst of their breakup.

Joseph then pondered, ‘But, even though they say they're breaking up, why do | sense ambiguity from them? Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen such a breakup. They have absolutely no respect for single people

[Umm... Just a comment from a bystander. Doesn't Ashley play the harp?]

[So what if she knew how to play the harp? Can she compose? Can she write songs? Does she have any creative talent? No? Then stop. blabbering!]

The bystander who wanted to defend Ashley were now at a loss for words.

The three new songs Bryce released were all composed by Ash, and it was true that Bryce didn’t know how to compose. And Ashley had not been seen composing or writing songs, so it was assumed she couldn't either.

However, this argument didn’t attract much attention from other netizens.

After all, most of them were eagerly anticipating Ash’s appearance.

Ashley, Bryce, Matthew, and Jessica had already made their entrances, and it was expected that Ash would be next.
