Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 226

Jeremy's surprise quickly turned into rising anger upon seeing who it was.

It was Charlie and Cara!

During today's reality show, Charlie hadn't supported Ashley.

He had praised Cara at every turn.

Fury burning within him, Jeremy let go of Ryan and intended to confront Charlie for justice.

Ryan, who had already suffered a gash on the back of his head, felt dizzy, as if his brain was buzzing. His world spun, and when Jeremy released him, Ryan lost his balance. He fell to the ground with a thud.

Coincidentally, he hit the back of his head again, causing the blood to flow even more.

"Ryan!" Matthew was a bit dumbfounded as he looked at Ryan falling to the ground again. He paused for a moment before reacting and helped him up. 'Damn! I hope he hasn't gotten a concussion!'

Jeremy saw Ryan lying on the ground, looking like his brains were about to spill out. He was stunned and hurried back to help him up. "My bad, my bad! I shouldn't have let go of you! Please don't die here!"

Upon hearing this, Ryan was so angry he wanted to curse. But he was dizzy and barely able to stand. He seriously wondered if Jeremy was trying to take him out so Jeremy could seize Ashley's affection all to himself. 'What a sneaky bastard!' Ryan thought.

Witnessing this scene, Charlie furrowed his brows. "What happened?"

"How can you even ask that?" Jeremy retorted irritably, supporting Ryan. "Tell me, how did you treat Ashley on the reality show today, huh?"

"I didn't target her," Charlie replied calmly.

"Yeah, right. You just kept favoring Cara on the show. You're too busy to pay attention to your sister, right?" Jeremy said sarcastically, casting a disdainful glance at Cara.

Cara stepped forward, her dress fluttering in the breeze, making her look graceful. She smiled gently, "You've got it wrong. Mr. Charlie Ramos and I are good friends, so he appreciates me. And Ashley, I really like her and hope to become friends with her too."

Matthew glanced at Cara, thinking that the way she smiled was so fake, almost like wearing a mask.

Looking at Jeremy, Matthew said, "Jeremy, stop wasting time with them. Let's get to the hospital to bandage Ryan up! Ryan's losing too much blood!"

At that moment, Ryan was pale and shivering.

Before leaving, Jeremy glared at Charlie and said, "We have bullied Ashley back when she was in Ramos Villa. Even though you never laid a hand on her, you never stopped us either. You just stood by, indifferent... I hope from now on, you won't do anything bad to Ashley!"

Then, Jeremy and Matthew helped Ryan into the car and sped off to the hospital.

Cara looked at Charlie, who seemed to be pondering something, and called out, "Mr. Ramos?"

Charlie snapped back to reality and shook his head. "It's nothing."

Cara seemed to be considerate and didn't press further, smiling, "I really would like to get to know Ashley better..."

Ashley and Valentin had arrived at Kingsley Manor, along with Joseph.

"Grandpa, we're back!" Joseph hadn't even entered the living room when he started sweetly calling out.

"Come in, come in!" Zain sat on the living room sofa and saw the figures outside, gesturing them to come over.

Ashley followed Valentin inside, noticing an elder and his granddaughter beside Zain. The granddaughter was a pretty and delicate girl.
