Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 288

Evan's face was swollen, and he lost a front tooth from a beating by Ashley with a ruler. His forehead was red, swollen, and bleeding. However, when he heard Valentin's name, he quickly forgot the pain and got up excitedly from the ground.

He thought, 'Why is Mr. Kingsley here in the dead of night? Maybe...

'Is he here to discuss business cooperation with the Ramos family?'

Even Jessica had a look of unconcealable ecstasy in her eyes. Valentin was such a high-ranking and unattainable man. How could he personally come to Ramos Villa?

Bertha immediately brought a towel, wiping off the blood flowing from Evan's face.

The weather was terrible tonight, with thunder striking at some point and lightning flashing in the dark sky.

In the darkness, Valentin walked with a cold face, followed by several stern-faced bodyguards in uniform.

A sudden lightning bolt lit the night sky like a sword cutting through the darkness. It also revealed Valentin's handsome yet somber face, as if covered in a thin frost, emanating a chilling and fierce vibe from within.

Evan's heart pounded. Even though he was old, facing a figure like Valentin, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, rushing to greet him in a fluster.

Bertha was so nervous that she froze on the spot.

Jessica unconsciously clenched her dress. Her eyes, filled with undisguised joy, were seemingly glued to Valentin, staring at him without blinking.

"Mr. Kingsley, why did you visit so late?" Evan hurriedly welcomed him in a fluster, speaking carefully, afraid of disrespecting the distinguished guest.

However, Valentin didn't even look at him.

His gaze swept through the messy and bloody living room. When Valentin saw the fresh blood on Ashley's hands, a chill instantly filled his eyes.

Ashley explained, "It's not mine. It's Evan's."

Upon hearing this, Valentin's icy demeanor gradually melted.

Clark was very discerning. He quickly ran over and handed disinfectant wipes to Valentin.

Valentin took them, walked to Ashley, lifted her hand, and carefully wiped away the dirt and blood stains.

Seeing this scene, Evan, Bertha, and Jessica widened their eyes in disbelief.

What was going on?

How could Valentin and Ashley be so intimate?

Jessica stared at Valentin and Ashley, clenching her fists, nails almost piercing her palms.

She thought, 'Before this, Valentin acquired Ashley's personal bracelet at the charity banquet. And at the recent Skyward Art Exhibition, he specifically went to see Ashley.

'These two... Valentin is definitely more than just a fan of Ashley or merely someone who appreciates her!

'Is he... Is he...'

The moment Jessica thought about Valentin possibly having feelings for Ashley, even a romantic interest, she became fiercely jealous, angrily clenching her teeth.

'How can this be? How can Valentin like this scoundrel, Ashley!

'No, wait! A man of Valentin's status could never be interested in Ashley. He is most likely just attracted to her beauty and wants to have some fun with her.'

At this moment, Evan also realized that Valentin came specifically for Ashley, not for a collaboration with the Ramos family.
