Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 161

After the charity auction, there was a cocktail party and dinner.

The organizers prepared some wine and desserts, and the guests chatted with each other.

Miranda was a little hungry and asked Ashley to eat dessert together.

Ashley didn't have much appetite. She took out her phone and sent a message to Valentin, questioning him.

[How could you say those words on stage just now?]

After sending the message, Ashley looked around the noisy banquet hall and found Valentin in less than a second.

Valentin exuded extraordinary handsomeness with a superior physique and a noble demeanor, easily standing out in the crowd.

Ashley looked over from a distance and noticed that many people surrounded Valentin.

They wanted to take this chance and talk to him.

But Valentin had no expression. His eyelashes were slightly lowered, and his eyes were cold. It made people feel that he was very difficult to approach.

Those who wanted to talk to him hesitated and didn't dare to get close when they saw him like this.

Only those with influential status or cooperating with the Kingsley Group dared to continue talking to him.

Ashley watched for a while and felt bored. She continued to scan the banquet hall and saw Brittany and Bryce in the corner.

Bryce looked very impatient, but Brittany didn't mind at all and followed him with a charming smile.

Sensing Ashley's gaze, Bryce approached her, saying, "Ashley, I have something to attend to and need to leave now. See you."

When Bryce walked over, Brittany had been following him the whole time.

Upon hearing that Bryce was leaving, Brittany frowned. She was dissatisfied.

After Bryce finished speaking to Ashley, he left the banquet hall.

Brittany followed immediately.

But Bryce walked quickly and never looked back. Wearing high heels, Brittany couldn't catch up and lost sight of Bryce.

Ashley watched this scene with mixed feelings.

After a while, Lester and Jaden walked over.

Jaden squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Where's Joseph? Isn't he with you?"

Ashley pointed not far away and said, "He's over there."

Joseph was surrounded by a group of people and looked helpless. These people didn't dare to strike up a conversation with Valentin and came to ask him instead.

A chubby man couldn't believe it and asked, "Mr. Fox, is Valentin genuinely a fan of Ashley? Is he?"

Joseph rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, it's true!"

Upon hearing this affirmative answer, the crowd exploded.

"Ashley has indeed become famous recently. Even Valentin admires her so much. It's really surprising."

"Actually, it's not surprising. She looks young, but she's really talented. My brother and sister are her fans, too."

"That's true. Don't forget that Ashley is a talented composer and the founder and chief designer of Glory Youveile. This brand is a globally renowned luxury brand. She is more impressive than many of us here! Especially since she is so young."

"No wonder she is favored by Valentin."

"The Ramos family cut off ties with Ashley. They must be regretting it now. I think Jessica, whom the Ramos family has always cherished, can't compare to Ashley at all."

Not far away, Evan heard these words, and his smile disappeared. He thought, 'How could they say that Jessica couldn't compare to Ashley?

'Jessica is much better than Ashley!

'I am her father. I gave her life. Even though our relationship is not good, as my daughter, she should repay me and the Ramos family.
