Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 101

However, with the evidence laid out and the police involvement due to a severe accusation of defamation, Frankie was eventually taken away.

Bertha, witnessing the situation, fainted on the spot.

Charlie and Ryan rushed home upon hearing the news.

Chaos erupted in the entire Ramos family.

...

The extensive press conference was simultaneously a livestream on the Internet.

Netizens who had condemned Ashley were left dumbfounded after learning the truth.

They couldn't believe Frankie and Bertha collaborated to slander Ashley.

Frankie and Bertha were undoubtedly unqualified as Ashley's mother and elder brother.

Meanwhile, after enduring harm from her family, Ashley now faced condemnation from netizens who believed whatever they heard.

Those netizens' misguided sense of justice was, in reality, a second blow to Ashley!

Some netizens acknowledged their error and began apologizing to Ashley.

Some deleted their tweets criticizing Ashley, feigned ignorance of the situation, and continued to attack the next target.

Hashtags like "Ashley, Ash, you are still my idol", "Misdeeds of the Ramos family" and "The Ramos family owes Ashley an apology" swiftly ascended the trending charts.

Following this incident, the true nature of the Ramos family was laid bare before the public.

Even the image of the Ramos Group suffered damage, turning negative.

The press conference concluded.

Ashley, Joseph, and Laura exited the venue, spotting Bryce and Miranda wearing masks in the crowd.

Seeing Ashley, Miranda was jubilant and ran over. "Ashley, I'm so glad for you! The truth has finally come to light, and you've been cleared!"

From yesterday until now, witnessing the online condemnation and attacks against Ashley, Miranda had felt restless and didn't know how to assist. Anxiety even caused her to fall ill.

Moved, Ashley smiled, "I didn't expect you to come to the press conference."

Miranda explained, "I couldn't wait at home any longer, so I came to the venue. Oh, I encountered Bryce at the entrance."

Bryce, wearing a black mask, approached with hands in pockets, his tall figure and silver hair standing out. "Impressive, Ashley. Crisis averted."

Before Ashley could respond, Joseph stepped forward on high alert, warning Bryce, "Stay away from Ashley."

Bryce frowned in confusion.

Ashley looked at Joseph, her eyes filled with puzzles. "What are you doing?"

Full of crisis awareness, Joseph was angry and explained urgently, "You're not aware yet. There's speculation online about a romantic relationship between you and Bryce! You rescued him in horse racing and composed songs for him in the name of Ash. Fans are going crazy!"

He thought, 'Why are netizens making a wild guess? Ashley belongs to Valentin!'

Ashley was incredulous.

She thought, 'Why do netizens consider Bryce and me as a couple? What a ridiculous notion!'

Ashley's rejection was evident on her face. "I composed songs for Bryce, but not for free. I received payment. It's a straightforward business transaction."

Seeing Ashley reject the rumor vehemently, Bryce squinted and looked at her meaningfully.

He smirked, arrogantly declaring, "I'll post on Twitter now, saying that Ashley and I don't get along. We'll fight whenever we meet. No one is allowed to guess our relationship!"

Hearing his words, Laura immediately intervened. "Don't mess around. No celebrity will post such things on Twitter!"

Bryce smiled provocatively, "Since no one did before, I'll be the first!"
