Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 216

Joseph glanced at the photo and clicked his tongue. "Isn't this Charlie?"

Charlie was Ashley's second brother. Joseph was surprised that Cara knew him.

Ashley took a quick look and expressionlessly averted her gaze.

"Ashley, are you okay?" Joseph observed her expression and cautiously inquired.

Ashley chuckled softly, "I'm not that fragile. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

If it always weighed on her heart whenever she encountered someone from the Ramos family, she was simply looking for trouble for herself.

"That's good!" Joseph patted his chest. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Valentin hastily walking into the living room, even running to Ashley without caring about his image.

Joseph was stunned. "Valentin, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Valentin swiftly reached Ashley before she could react.

Seeing the phone in her hand, his brows furrowed, a rare hint of panic in his eyes, and his voice low. "It's fake, it's not me."

After a moment of contemplation, Ashley understood.

He was explaining that the rumor had nothing to do with him and that the man in the photo wasn't him.

"I know." Ashley blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke softly. "I know it's not you."

Upon hearing her words, Valentin's expression eased a bit, relieved that she didn't misunderstand.

Suddenly, Joseph burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Ashley looked at him, puzzled.

"Ashley." Joseph laughed meaningfully. "Except for when Andrew took you away, Valentin has never been in such a hurry. He's afraid of being misunderstood by you. All his urgency is related to you."

Ashley was at a loss for words.
