Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 165

Even though the reporters were too far away to hear what Ashley and Jessica said, they kept snapping photos.

Over here, Ashley looked at Jessica expressionlessly and asked, "You were publicly apologizing to me?"

Jessica knew the reporters were taking pictures and smiled politely, "Yes."

Ashley glanced down at her own nails and asked indifferently, "Did you just say that you want my forgiveness in front of the cameras?"

Jessica clenched her fingers, remaining silent.

This feeling of being inferior in front of Ashley was really irritating for her.

Ashley looked at her with a sneer. "I can't hear you if you apologize to the camera. If you want my forgiveness, apologize to me again, right here, to my face."

Jessica glanced at the reporters in the distance, noting they were still picturing. She maintained a polite smile but spoke through gritted teeth. "Ashley, I don't need your forgiveness!"

Ashley sneered, "Then why bother apologizing to me on camera?"

Jessica's face turned sullen. However, she had to force another smile upon remembering the reporters, looking ridiculous as she spat out.

"You think I really wanted to apologize to you? I had no choice! I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize to you?

"Ashley, I stole your design draft, and you knew from the start, right? You didn't expose me right away just to make me look foolish. You revealed it in public only because you wanted to humiliate me! You should be sorry to me!"

Ashley had never heard something so ridiculous. "You stole my design draft, and I'm the one to blame?"

Jessica's eyes filled with hatred as she said, "Don't get too comfortable, Ashley. Just because you're doing well now doesn't mean it'll last. One day, you'll be begging me for mercy!"

While they were talking, Evan hurried over. "Jessica, why are you here?" He then turned to Ashley, his voice stern. "Don't you dare bully Jessica!"

Ashley scoffed, "Me, bully her?

"Evan, it's your daughter who came crying to me with a fake apology and expected me to respond. Fine, I'll give her one."

As Ashley spoke, she took out her phone.

Jessica glanced over, curious to see how Ashley was going to do, but then she realized that Ashley's phone had been recording the whole time!

Jessica's face instantly turned deadly pale.

She had been so focused on the reporters in the distance and hadn't noticed Ashley was recording their conversation!

'Bitch!' Jessica panicked, trying to snatch Ashley's phone.

But Ashley had it coming. She dodged and shot Jessica a sharp glare.

That look from Ashley was like a blade pressed against her throat. Jessica shivered, her fear spreading in her soul.

Ashley posted the recording to Twitter along with a message.

At that moment, netizens were discussing the video of Jessica's apology.

[To be fair, I think Jessica's apology seems sincere. She was crying her eyes out. Look at her snot. She definitely knows she messed up.]

[Can we not mention the snot, please? Now I can't stop looking at Jessica's runny nose.]

[Did you guys see Jessica's bow in that video? It looked really sincere. Just not sure if Ashley will accept it.]

When everyone was discussing, they noticed that Ashley had posted on Twitter.

Ashley said: [Seeing Jessica's apology video really touched me. But when I found Jessica and wanted to hear an apology from her, things just...]

[Well, it's okay, I'm fine. If Jessica doesn't want to apologize, she doesn't have to. I really am okay. I won't make it hard for her.]

After reading this, the netizens were puzzled.

Ashley seemed to play innocent with that post. It was somewhat bitchy and didn't match her style. They started to wonder if Ashley's account was getting hacked.

There was also a voice recording with the tweet. Clicking on it with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, the listeners were increasingly shocked as they listened.

[Holy cow! Jessica said what?]

"You think I really wanted to apologize to you? I had no choice! I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize to you?

"Ashley, I stole your design draft, and you knew from the start, right? You didn't expose me right away just to make me look foolish. You revealed it in public only because you want to humiliate me! You should be sorry to me!
