Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 159

Ashley was stunned.

Gasps of surprise rippled through the audience, as if something surreal has happened, leaving them wide-mouthed in shock.

Valentin was actually saying that he liked Ashley.

Not because of Ash and Attelia's identities but because he liked Ashley herself!

Everyone wondered if Valentin's words were true.

The grand hall fell into silence. Not a sound could be heard. Everyone stared at the stage dumbfounded, even holding their breath involuntarily.

The audience couldn't react at all.

Ashley, emerging from her initial surprise, widened her eyes and shot a glare at Valentin.

She thought, 'Why would he say something like this in front of everyone?'

Valentin saw her cute expression with wide-open eyes due to surprise and couldn't help but smile.

The host was too shocked and dropped the microphone to the ground. It became the only sound in the quiet hall.

This sound brought everyone, including the host, back to their senses.

The host quickly bent down to pick up the microphone. Due to the immense shock and astonishment, her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

The audience thought, 'This host's mental resilience is really lacking! It would be better if I hosted. I will find everything out!'

The host trembled as she tested the microphone. Luckily, it didn't break.

Facing the intense gaze from the audience, the host nervously cleared her dry throat and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Mr. Kingsley, you just said that you like Ashley herself?"

Upon hearing this, Ashley looked at Valentin again and shook her head slightly, signaling him not to speak nonsense and to deny it quickly.

However, Valentin deliberately nodded, saying, "Yes."

Ashley thought, 'Very well. You are done, Valentin. Let's wait until it finishes.'

She didn't hide her anger, glaring straight at Valentin with her bright and beautiful eyes. She was already looking forward to the end of the banquet.

The host's right hand, holding the microphone, trembled even more. She cautiously continued to ask, "What you mean is, you like Ashley..."

Valentin saw Ashley's gaze and felt that she was like an angry cat at the moment. He didn't continue teasing Ashley, but raised an eyebrow and said, "I am a loyal fan of Ashley."

'What?

'A loyal fan?'

When the audience heard this answer, they let out a long sigh of relief. Not hearing the answer they expected, their mood fluctuated like a roller coaster, up and down.

"So he is a fan of Ash."
