Netizens did not buy Cara's response.
Resorting to such despicable and unscrupulous means to secretly harm Ashley, coupled with lying and refusing to admit it, sharply contrasted with Cara's previously portrayed image of a gentle and kind lady.
Overnight, Cara's positive image crumbled entirely.
Even Charlie, who spoke up for Cara, faced intense resistance from netizens.
Those who had held Charlie in high regard due to his role as a cultural relic restorer were growing impatient.
Hashtags, including "Cara Ward lies exposed," "Cara Ward's positive image crumbled," and "Charlie Ramos and Cara Ward get lost," quickly trended among netizens.
In the hospital room, Joseph sat on a chair, constantly checking the updates about the situation on his phone.
Seeing Charlie defending Cara, he sneered, "The Ramos bunch is just a real piece of work! I can't stand Charlie! Ashley, you..."
Joseph looked at Ashley with a touch of sadness. During the two years with the Ramos family, he didn't know what kind of life she had led.
Ashley showed no emotional response to Charlie defending Cara. "Defend all he wants. It won't last for long."
Upon hearing this, Joseph's eyes lit up. "Ashley, what are you up to? Are you planning something? Take me along!"
Ashley raised her eyes slightly. "It's a secret for now."
Joseph became even more curious. He looked at Valentin on the side and suddenly remembered something. He whispered, "Valentin, I have something to ask you. Can you come outside the ward with me?"
Valentin's gazes had been fixed on Ashley. Without looking at Joseph, he said, "Ask it here."
Joseph was speechless and thought, 'Bro, can't you at least glance at me?'
Joseph, looking pitiful, cast a glance at Ashley. Feeling awkward about asking it in front of her, he pleaded, "Valentin, just take a little of your time, please!"
Seeing him like this, Ashley became even more suspicious. She casually crossed her arms and said, "Go outside the ward? You're obviously trying to dodge me. What do you want to ask him behind my back?"
Joseph immediately shook his head. "No, no! I'm not trying to dodge you on purpose. It's just a tiny thing, honestly."
Ashley wasn't one to be pushy or intrusive, nodding in agreement. "Alright, go ahead and chat outside."
Valentin had no intention of avoiding Ashley. There was nothing he couldn't share with her.
However, judging by Joseph's expression, he had a pretty good idea of what Joseph wanted to ask. Valentin raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up, and walked out of the ward.
Joseph hurriedly followed.
In the corridor, the two stood by the window, where two pots of plants were placed on the sill.
Unable to contain his excitement, Joseph asked in a low voice, "Valentin, what's going on between you and Ashley? I sense a change in her attitude towards you."
Valentin's gaze fell on one of the potted plants. Hearing Joseph's question, he looked at him with an understanding tone. "I figured you'd bring this up."
"You really understand me, Valentin!" Joseph raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, "So, what's happening between you and Ashley? You seem unusually cheerful today! Hold on a second. Let me take a guess first!"
Valentin's eyebrows rose slightly, but he didn't deny it.
Touching his chin, Joseph, eyes rolling, suddenly excitedly exclaimed, "Valentin, you confessed to Ashley before. At that time, she said she would think about it. So today, with your good mood and Ashley being especially close to you, she must have accepted your confession! Am I right? Am I right?"
Joseph was so excited and asked twice if he was right. If there were flowers on his head, they would have blossomed vibrantly by now.
