Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 142

Jaden raised an eyebrow, turning to Ashley. "Jessica just accused you of stealing your own designs. How ridiculous is that?"

Ashley sneered, "Me, stealing from myself?"

'Me, stealing from myself...' What Ashley said echoed in everyone's ears.

The reporters were nearly dropping their jaws at these words. The room, buzzing just a second ago, fell into a stunned silence, their mouths agape.

An older reporter was the first to regain composure, though his voice still trembled with shock. "Ashley, do you mean..."

Jaden looked around at everyone before making a formal introduction.

"That's right, Ashley is the lead designer of Glory Youveile, Attelia! And also the co-founder of Glory Youveile!"

His firm statement echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.

Jessica was smugly thinking that she had successfully dragged Ashley down with her but suddenly found her malicious smile freezing on her face. She gradually widened her eyes and mouth like a ridiculous crown from a movie scene.

'What did they say? Ashley is Attelia? So, stealing Ashley's design drafts means I have stolen Attelia's work? No! How can this be?'

Jessica couldn't believe it.

But the designs she had taken from Ashley's room and the clothes made based on those drafts bore the "A" sign on them...

She had to believe it even she didn't want to.

Jessica glared at Ashley and clenched her fist tightly. The shock and resentment in Jessica's heart was like a balloon, rising up and suddenly blowing up, pressed against her throat with a metallic taste.

'Ashley is Attelia, Attelia is Ashley...' she kept thinking.

The most ridiculous thing was that the Ramos family even considered inviting Attelia to be their lead designer. The whole thing was like a complete joke to her.

Journalists and designers at the banquet also heard Jaden confirm that Ashley was indeed Attelia.

After several seconds of shock, they swarmed around Ashley like fans around a legendary superstar, crazed with excitement.

The designers were so thrilled because they were finally meeting Attelia in person.

After all, Attelia was a legend in the fashion design industry, representing the pinnacle of today's industry. She was the pride of Zyrrinthia's design community.

It was all normal for these designers to be thrilled. They were finally meeting a legend in the industry. It would have been a surprise if they hadn't gone wild.

And those reporters now kept snapping photos of Ashley with their cameras, with flashbulbs bright enough to blind someone.

"I've finally figured it out. No wonder Ashley's designs are so outstanding! She won with a damaged draft in that international competition because she is Attelia!"

"Wait a second, it just hit me! Jessica stole Ashley's designs and even had the nerve to accuse Ashley of stealing from Attelia?"

"Unbelievable, Jessica is truly despicable! But she could never guess that Ashley was Attelia! Jessica even tried to frame her. She was truly pathetic!"
