Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 261

As soon as Joseph concluded that Cara was behind all this, he was frightened by Valentin's furious face.

Joseph swallowed and immediately looked up at Ashley.

Ashley was calm and still listened to the conversation between Cara and Mike in the surveillance video.

"Mike, I asked you to teach Ashley a lesson, how did you screw up?" Cara questioned.

Mike replied, "I followed Ashley into the restaurant. Just when I was about to lock her in the toilet secretly and teach her a lesson, Ashley was alert, and she realized something was wrong and kicked open the door."

"Did Ashley know it was you?"

"She didn't. Don't worry, Cara. I destroyed all the surveillance cameras in the restaurant in advance. Even if Ashley pulled the footage, she wouldn't be able to find me, let alone you."

"Well, be careful. Although Ashley has been in the hospital recently, don't let others know and blow my cover."

"Okay, I will."

The conversation ended.

Joseph got irritated after hearing it. "Is Cara out of her mind? Who the hell does she think she is? As for Mike, he's really obedient to Cara. If I hadn't kept an eye on him, we couldn't find out."

Joseph looked at Ashley with confusion. "Ashley, have you known Cara before?"

Ashley shook her head. "No, I haven't."

Joseph was mad at Cara and thought, 'They didn't get history, so Cara was just insane. Is she jealous of Ashley?'

Valentin was in a mood and pondered, 'There must be a plot.'

Valentin turned his head to look at Tom and ordered coldly, "Ask someone to keep an eye on Cara. Find out all her information. I won't cut her some slack."

"Yes, Mr. Kingsley!" Tom nodded.

Tom did not dare to waste time, so he immediately went out to give orders.

'After all, Ms. Ramos was involved, which was offending Mr. Kingsley!' he thought.

Then Valentin looked at Ashley and said softly, "I know you can solve the problem on your own, but I can't stand idly by when it comes to your safety."

'Cara wanted to hurt Ashley, so I couldn't just let her go. She must pay for it,' Valentin thought.

Ashley was moved, so she walked over to Valentin, sat beside him, and held his hand. She couldn't help but teasingly touch his hand. "I understand. You are protecting me."

After a pause, she blinked and gave him a hint. "After Joseph leaves, I will personally thank you for your help."

Joseph was stunned when he saw this.

'What does she mean? Do I look like a third wheel?

'And what is Ashley doing with her hands touching Valentin's?

'Could someone tell me what happened to Valentin and Ashley this morning?' Joseph thought.

After Ashley finished her words, she turned around and saw Joseph. "Why haven't you left yet?"

Joseph thought, 'What? My heart is broken! I feel really sad!'

Joseph pretended to wipe his tears. "Hey, I am still here. How can you guys ignore me?"

Ashley looked innocent. "I didn't. I'm looking at you right now."

Valentin nodded, indicating that Ashley was right.
