Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 293

After she finished speaking with Jaden, Ashley hung up the phone.

Valentin came over. It was past three o'clock in the morning, and it was a little cold at midnight. He touched her hand, which felt cold.

Frowning, he took off his black suit jacket and put it on her shoulders.

The smell and warmth of his suit jacket soothed her. The moment she felt his warm clothes on her shoulders, Ashley blinked and said, "Thanks, but I'm not cold."

He replied, holding her hand, "But your hand feels cold."

"Fine..." she muttered.

Without saying anything, Ashley pulled Valentin's suit jacket up a little bit and walked toward Miranda.

She was worried about Miranda.

If Ashley hadn't come to her rescue in time, Miranda would've been taken chastity in the warehouse by Noe and traumatized for life.

Ashley wouldn't let Jessica, the culprit, get away with it.

She swore in her mind with rage in her eyes, thinking, 'Jessica has to pay.

'I'll make her sorry for what she had done to Miranda.'

At this moment, Ryan looked into Miranda's tear-streaked face, standing in front of her. His hatred for Jessica grew. "Damn it. Jessica is the one who should be sent to prison, that evil woman!"

Filled with mixed feelings, Miranda stared at Ashley, her eyes reddened. Back in the warehouse, she got a feeling that Ashley would come to save her, and she herself didn't know why. As expected, Ashley did come to her rescue.

She still remembered how touched and relieved she felt when Ashley kicked open the gate of the warehouse. Ashley, like a superwoman, stepped from lights and shadows. Her presence immediately drove Miranda's panic and worries away.

Ryan kept speaking ill of Jessica.

However, Jessica wasn't listening to him. Instead, she fixed her eyes on Ashley and Valentin not far away.

Except for Ryan, the whole Ramos family looked at Ashley and Valentin with dumbfounded expressions.

The Ramos family heard from Ryan that Valentin was pursuing Ashley, but most of them didn't believe it. When they saw Valentin put his suit jacket on Ashley's shoulders with tenderness in his eyes, they were thunderstruck.

Given that the Ramos family wasn't a big family, they could hardly have a chance to meet such a public figure like Valentin in person, let alone see him together with Ashley at their own house. After all, Valentin was a living legend to them who could only be seen in financial magazines or interviews.

Valentin looked domineering, his gestures full of grace, pride, and dignity. Thus, though Valentin was at Ramos Villa as a guest, the Ramos family felt that he was the true host. They felt too restrained to speak to Ashley.

"Jeremy, what kind of relationship do you think Ashley and Valentin have?" Matthew murmured with a look of disbelief.

"How do I know?" Jeremy was as confused as him.

Jessica's pale face twisted with hatred and jealousy while she stared at Ashley. She cursed inwardly, 'Why? Why can she always get whatever she wants so easily?

'Even her stupid conservation work for artifacts earned her a good name.

'She should've rotted somewhere after she got kicked out and despised by the Ramos family. I didn't expect her to turn the tables and make the whole family spin around her.

'How did she manage to seduce such a big cheese like Valentin?

'She has a career, family, and men... Why can she have everything?

'No! This isn't the way it's supposed to be.'
