Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 225

Joseph agreed as he pushed open the car door, eager to follow suit. "Yeah, Ashley, let Valentin come with you!"

Who knew that lunatic Jeremy was thinking?

Thinking back to Jeremy's past behavior in the Ramos family, his attitude, and his mistreatment towards Ashley, Joseph felt he must get out of the car, too, just to be sure Ashley was safe.

Ashley caught the worry lingering in Valentin's eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat. She felt a warmth inside her heart, feeling like she had been cherished.

Her nose tingled, and she smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Jeremy wouldn't dare do anything to me now. You guys just wait for me in the car."

Valentin frowned.

Ashley gripped his hand, gently soothing over the back of his hand. "Really, I'll be back soon. And you guys are in the car, so if anything happens, you can always come to me."

Valentin pondered, and his eyes cast down.

Given the current situation with Jeremy, he probably wouldn't dare do anything to her.

Reluctantly, Valentin let go of her hand and reminded her, "Make it quick."

"Sure!" Ashley obediently responded and then got out of the car.

In Jeremy's car behind them, seeing the car ahead suddenly stop, Matthew looked completely baffled. "Why did they suddenly stop? Should we stop too?"

Jeremy parked at the sideway. "Yeah, let's stop for a bit and see if Ashley needs anything..."

Before Jeremy could finish, Matthew immediately shouted, "Jeremy, Ryan, Ashley's getting out of the car! Why is she walking towards here?"

Ryan was surprised, wondering if Ashley spotted them or if she was just heading to the nearby supermarket.

As he pondered this, Ashley walked straight to their car and tapped on the window impatiently.

Jeremy was taken aback, then he quickly rolled down the window, his face lighting up with excitement. "Ashley! Did you come to see us?"

Ashley almost laughed out of frustration. That was ridiculous.

She peered through the window and saw Jeremy, along with Matthew and Ryan, all gathered.

"Why are you following me?" Ashley's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

Now that they had been discovered, Ryan decided to get out of the car and quickly approached Ashley. "Ashley, we... We just wanted to see you. You've been avoiding us."

Matthew quickly followed, stepping out of the car. 'Damn, Ryan's already got a head start chatting with Ashley!'

Jeremy also wanted to get out, but Ashley was standing right outside the driver's side window. He couldn't open the door without risking bumping into her. What if he accidentally hit her?

Jeremy's palms started to sweat in frustration as he couldn't get out of the car. Finally, he bit the bullet, climbing over to the passenger side and getting out from there.

"Ashley, don't stand by the road. It's not safe," Jeremy said as he ran over, standing between Ashley and the passing cars on the road.

Ashley didn't want to be protected in this way and moved under a nearby tree.

The three Ramos brothers immediately followed her.

"So, what do you guys want?" Ashley asked again, her voice indifferent.

Ryan looked at Ashley almost in a greedy way, as if he hadn't seen her in a very long time, his throat tightening. "Ashley, we want to make up for our past mistakes. Can you...give us a chance?"

Ashley furrowed her brows tightly.
