Save Myself from Desperation

Jessica came over and saw Jeremy standing in the corridor. She immediately had tears in her eyes. and put on a pitiful look. “Jeremy, Ms. Rice humiliated me on the stage but favors Ashley very

much...

“Why does Ashley want to snatch everything from me? She knows that | have always wanted to learn from Megan...” Seeing Jessica shed tears, Jeremy wanted to comfort her and swore at Ashley like before, but he was lost for words. Jeremy pressed his lips and didn’t speak after a long while. “Jessica, about bribing the judges, you...”

Jessica was stunned as Jeremy didn’t comfort her at first.

She stepped forward and said in an innocent tone, “Jeremy, how could you bribe the judges for me? This is wrong. | want to win the show fair and square through my own efforts.

Jeremy was perplexed, not knowing if Jessica scapegoated him intentionally or if she really didn’t know about him bribing the judges.

But he had clearly hinted at her.

Seeing Jeremy was a little solemn, Jessica changed her attitude. “I know you did it for me, so | will bear the consequences with you! If people want to criticize me, I’m okay with that!”

Jeremy was touched and felt Jessica was so sensible.

She would rather bear the consequences and face people’s criticism with him.

Jeremy felt much better but still had some doubts. He couldn't help but think of what Ashley said to him at the auction.

“Do

you believe...Jessica was the one who saved you back then?”

Jeremy thought Ashley was making it up to take Jessica’s credit, but he was a little confused after what happened today.

He seemed unable to confirm whether the person who saved him was Jessica.

Jeremy took a deep breath, looked at Jessica, and asked, “Jessica, was it you who risked your life to save me from danger?” Jessica was panicked for a moment.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

‘Why did he suddenly ask this? Did he suspect something? She wondered.

Jessica’s mind was a mess, but she still remained calm on her face. She widened her eyes in surprise, full of innocence Jeremy, why do you ask this?

“Although I’m not related to the Ramos family, I’ve long regarded you as my brother. If you are in danger, of course, | will try my best to save you.”

Jeremy patted her shoulder to soothe her. Jessica, don’t think too much. I’m just asking casually.”

Jessica bit her lower lip with a grievance. “Jeremy, do you think | scapegoated you for bribing the judges? | really didn’t know about it at that time. When the host asked me, | could only say that | didn’t know. | didn’t mean to let you bear it alone.”

“Tknow. Silly girl, how could | blame you?”

Jeremy smiled and comforted her, but she could tell he was a little absent-minded and didn’t treat her as well as before. Jessica gritted her teeth, thinking that she had to find a way to regain Jeremy's trust.

Ashley was packing in the lounge.

Joseph suddenly came over, smiling charmingly. “Ashley, congratulations on winning first place!”

Ashley looked back and saw him wearing a pink shirt, standing leisurely at the door of the lounge, his sunglasses twirling on his index finger.

“| watched the whole livestream. Ashley, you were amazing! Valentin must be waiting for the good

news.

“Keep your voice down.” Ashley lowered her voice to warn him and looked around. Fortunately, there was no one nearby. If others heard Valentin’s name, her marriage would be exposed.

“Come on.” Joseph walked over and said in a low voice, “Ashley, is Valentin so terrible? Why don’t you announce your marriage?”

Ashley was speechless for a moment and had a strange feeling.

Joseph's words sounded like Valentin was kept by her.

Joseph helped her pack her things and pulled her out. “Hurry up. Your Romeo is waiting for you at home to congratulate you!” ‘My Romeo?” Ashley repeated in her mind.

She couldn't respond for a while.

Joseph always liked to say some humorous words.

While Joseph pulled Ashley out, they were photographed by a passing staff member and posted online.

Ashley was currently very popular online, and this photo immediately attracted a lot of attention. [Wow! Who is that guy holding Ashley’s hand? He’s so hot!]

He looks like Joseph Fox, the second son of the Fox family?]

Yes, it’s him! The second son of the top wealthy Fox family. Joseph! His stunning face surpasses many male celebrities in the entertainment industry. He was once on the trending topic because of his good appearance!]

He’s not only rich and handsome but also powerful. The Fox family is not an ordinary wealthy family but a top famil

in the upper class, at the same level as the Kingsley family. Moreover, the two families have a very good relationship and are connected by marriage.]

(Wait! | suddenly remembered something! When Ashley had a livestream, there was a mysterious man named Ariml who spent more than 200 thousand dollars on giving her teddy bears. Could that man be Joseph?]

[Oh my! | must say they’re meant for each other!]

@Ariml, are you Joseph?)

@Ariml, do you have a close relationship with Ashley?]

Joseph pulled Ashley into the car, and they sat in the back seat.

The car drove to the Kingsley Villa.

Joseph looked at his phone and found he and Ashley were rumored to be having a relationship in such a short while.

Joseph was shocked. He thought, ‘Come on. It’s not funny. | don’t want to get into trouble.

Joseph swallowed in panic and sent a message to Valentin. [Valentin, Ashley and | are rumored to be having a relationship..] In the Kingsley Villa, Valentin was sitting on the sofa in the living room and saw the message from Joseph when his phone rang. Valentin didn’t reply immediately.

Then, he received a bombardment of messages from Joseph.

[Valentin, | didn’t do it on purpose! Those people are so crazy. They are talking nonsense!]

[Who is Arim!? Did he spend more than 200 thousand dollars on buying Ashley teddy bears?]

[He must be crazy!]

[Valentin, you can’t sit still! Go to Ashley’s livestream and buy her teddy bears worth two million dollars!]

After reading the messages, Valentin looked very calm as he was the mysterious man in Ashley's livestream room.
