Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 192

Ashley pressed her forehead, feeling a headache. 'This is bad. I can't explain this,' she thought.

She knew that no one would easily believe if she said Valentin was just there to chat or discuss work.

While Ashley was stressed, Valentin looked calm and collected, as usual. He even seemed to want everyone to know about his relationship with Ashley.

He confidently walked Ashley out of the room in an eerie silence, closing the door slowly and gracefully, showing off his elegance.

Then, he turned to Miranda and Bryce, who were still stunned in the hallway.

Since they were Ashley's friends, his tone was indifferent but not too distant. "Is there something else?"

Miranda, recovering from her shock, glanced cautiously at Valentin and swallowed nervously before turning to Ashley with a mix of surprise and concern. "Ashley, you and Mr. Kingsley..."

Ashley knew what Miranda was thinking just by her look.

She was thinking about the unspoken rules of the industry.

"Don't jump to conclusions! It's not what you think! It's not..." Ashley started to explain her relationship with Valentin.

She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, especially since Valentin had just come out of her room early in the morning. She couldn't let Miranda think it was something scandalous.

But halfway through, Ashley remembered that Valentin had been in love with someone else for over ten years and never got together with them.

Revealing her marriage to Valentin might not be a good idea then.

And then there was the matter of their divorce...

Since he was in love with someone else, divorcing seemed necessary.

Ashley was lost in her thoughts and brought to reality by Valentin's deep and cold voice. "Unspoken rules?"

His voice was filled with a chill, scaring Miranda a bit.

Valentin's attitude towards Ashley was so different from that of others. He was playing double standards.

Ashley quickly tugged on Valentin's clothes.

Valentin looked down at her, then took her hand as if no one else was there. Looking at Miranda and Bryce, he emphasized each word clearly. "We're married."

Ashley was shocked.

At that moment, Miranda's eyes widened in disbelief, completely stunned.

She couldn't believe her ears.

Married?

Bryce was equally shocked and looked back and forth between Ashley and Valentin, finally settling on Ashley with a more serious look. "Ashley, you..."

"Ah!" Miranda snapped back to reality, about to scream excitedly.

Ashley quickly let go of Valentin and dashed over to Miranda, covering her mouth. "Calm down."

Miranda looked up with big, sad eyes, wondering how she could possibly calm down.

It wasn't a secret affair.

It wasn't a boyfriend-girlfriend thing.

They were married!

They had already tied the knot!

Her best friend had secretly married a top-notch tycoon! Who could stay calm knowing that?!

While comforting Miranda, Ashley glanced at Bryce. Thankfully, he seemed composed, looking down, lost in thought.

"I'm sorry for keeping this from you," Ashley said, full of remorse.
