Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 153

Laura looked at Miranda and asked, "What's his name? Did he tell you?"

Miranda shook her head obediently. "No. He seemed pretty nice, though. He knew I was a celebrity and didn't leak the news about my near car accident. He even helped me keep it secret."

Laura pondered for a moment and thought maybe she was overthinking.

She doubted Miranda would coincidentally encounter Ryan...

After Miranda finished talking about the car accident, she walked up and took Ashley's hand, worriedly saying, "Ashley, when I was coming to the lounge earlier, I saw Jeremy and Matthew outside. I think they came specifically for you."

Miranda used to like Matthew a lot, enjoyed his songs, and even idolized him.

But after learning what the Ramos family had done to Ashley, Miranda decisively stopped being a fan and didn't like Matthew anymore.

She would unconditionally stand with Ashley if she had to choose between the Ramos family and Ashley.

When she heard Jeremy and Matthew's names, Ashley's expression immediately became indifferent. "Don't bother with them."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Bryce, who had been sitting silently on the couch, turned his head to look at the door.

Laura went to open it. When she opened the door, she found Jeremy and Matthew standing there.

"Ashley..." Jeremy looked straight at Ashley, ignoring everyone else. "Can you come out for a moment? I have something to hand over to you."

Bryce stood up from the couch and walked next to Ashley protectively, coldly eyeing Jeremy and Matthew.

Miranda also showed no kindness towards Jeremy and Matthew.

Ashley saw that Jeremy was indeed holding a box in his hands. After looking down and thinking for a moment, she decided staying there wouldn't solve anything and walked over. Then, they walked out of the lounge and into the corridor.

Matthew stared at Ashley intently. He didn't want to miss her expression change. "Ashley, how have you been lately? Are you okay?"

Ashley ignored him, looking impatiently at the box in Jeremy's hands, signaling him to get to the point.

Jeremy hurriedly said, "Ashley, you must have heard. Frankie has been missing recently. I don't know if he had an accident or went somewhere... I haven't been able to contact him either."

Ashley's expression remained calm and detached as if she was listening to something insignificant.

Matthew continued, "Before Frankie disappeared, he came to Jeremy and me. He left us something to pass on to you.

"Jeremy and I didn't know where you lived and couldn't contact you, so we came here after hearing you were attending a charity dinner tonight."

Jeremy handed the box to Ashley, saying, "This is what Frankie asked us to give you. Matthew and I haven't opened it."

Ashley glanced at the box but didn't even take it, not wanting to accept it.

Knowing Ashley's disdain, Jeremy opened the box himself. "Ashley, you should take a look first, then decide whether to take it or not."

When he moved the lid, they saw what was inside the box.

Ashley's eyes widened when she saw what it was.

Inside the box were two items. On the left was an emerald necklace.

Ashley recognized it instantly – it was her emerald necklace.

She had been adrift since childhood and had an emerald necklace with her birth date engraved.
