Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 104

Ashley sat alone on the sofa for a while, receiving a message on her phone.

[Are you determined to retire for sure? Reply to me. Reply to me now! Don't pretend you didn't see this message!]

Lazily, Ashley typed: [Yeah.]

The person on the other side panicked: [Don't do that! We can't live without you, even for a single day!]

Ashley smiled and exchanged a few playful words with the person who sent her messages.

...

As Ashley expected, Frankie stayed in jail for nearly a month before the Ramos family managed to get him out.

During that month, Bertha cried day and night as her eyes swelled from tears.

Seeing Frankie return, Bertha immediately instructed the servants to prepare hot water for a bath to help ease his fatigue.

In just a month, Evan's hair had turned noticeably grey, and his spirit was not as vibrant as before.

Evan, who cared deeply about his reputation, vented his frustration at Frankie like a volcanic eruption. "Your imprisonment has disgraced our family! The Ramos family's dignity and honor are all gone!"

Bertha quickly intervened. "Evan, please don't scold him. It's good that Frankie is back."

Jessica, considerate and understanding, added, "Dad, please don't be angry. It's most important that Frankie is back. Money and reputation are external matters that can be earned back slowly."

Although Jessica said this, her heart was filled with resentment.

She had thought that by driving Ashley out of the Ramos family, all their wealth would be hers.

But now, with Frankie's imprisonment, the Ramos family's wealth had significantly dwindled, without knowing a specific number.

And that meant her money was dwindling!
