Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 

Ashley was taken aback. “What are you doing?” 

Valentin looked at her. His gaze was deep and intense, and his fair, handsome face turned grim. 

Jealousy surged in his heart again. 

Valentin mused, Ashley only compliments me when she’s drunk. Yet now, she so openly admires Kevin.’ 

Feeling Valentin’s unwavering gaze, Ashley’s heart pounded nervously. 

Ashley then tried to escape Valentin’s grasp, but he her no chance to gave 

flee. 

Holding her chin, his cold fingers gently caressed her skin. After a long pause, he spoke coldly. 

“Ashley, your taste in men is still as poor as before.” 

Ashley was baffled and speechless. 

“What’s wrong with my taste?’ She thought. 

Fuming, Ashley glared back at him. “Even if my taste is bad, yours is worse!” 

Vacuum owned. 

Ashley swatted away his hand from her chin. “Let go of me. Don’t touch me like that.” 

Valentin’s expression then turned grimmer. 

Ashley stood her ground angrily. “You say my taste is bad? Well, I think you’re handsome. I’ve always thought you were good-looking since we were kids. There, that’s my bad taste!” 

Valentin froze, his expression momentarily dazed. 

Ashley stood up and walked away with a huff, leaving him with the view of her departing figure. She didn’t want to deal with him anymore. 

She thought angrily, ‘If I talked with him again, I would be a fool!’ 

Valentin watched Ashley’s indignant departure, and his eyes narrowed

slightly. After a moment, he picked up his phone and sent a message to his assistant, Tom. 

Tom, who was munching on a fried chicken, paused for several seconds upon receiving the message. 

He pondered, ‘Investigate Kevin Franco? Who is Kevin? Why does Mr. Kingsley want me to investigate Kevin’s recent detailed information?” 

Tom knew well that as a competent and discreet assistant, he shouldn’t ask too unnecessary many questions. 

He then thought, ‘It’s just a simple task to investigate a Kevin.” 

During dinner time at the Kingsley Villa, the old butler, Gavyn, directed the servants to serve the dishes but noticed the atmosphere at the dining table was off. 

He wondered, Why isn’t Ms. Ramos speaking to Mr. Kingsley at all? She’s not even eating the food he serves her, either. Could they have had a spat? That’s impossible. Since Ms. Ramos moved into the Kingsley Villa, they’ve never argued. What happened today?” 

Not only Gavyn but Tom also sensed something amiss the next day. 

During a meeting, Valentin emanated a forbidding air, filling the conference room with an intimidating chill. 

The company’s senior executives were all on edge, hardly daring to breathe. 

Several of them, who were not very strong mentally, didn’t stop wiping sweat from their brows. 

After the terrible meeting, several executives immediately pulled Tom aside and bombarded him with questions. “Mr. Shaw, what’s going on? Is Mr. Kingsley in a bad mood today?” 

Tom was also wondering. 

One of the executives, still shaking, patted his chest and said, “That was way too close just now. I made a small mistake in my proposal, and although Mr. Kingsley didn’t say anything, the way he looked at me was terrifying. I almost wet my pants!” 

Tom rolled his eyes in disbelief. “Then you shouldn’t make mistakes.” 

Running his hand over his thinning hair, the executive replied anxiously,

“It’s strange. I also made a mistake in my last proposal, but Mr. Kingsley didn’t hold me accountable. It was a small error this time, but it nearly cost me my life!” 

Tom frowned, “Don’t just say nonsense. Mr. Kingsley is always fair and strict in official matters, rewarding and punishing appropriately.” 

The executive insisted, Tm serious, Mr. Shaw! Why would I lie to you? Remember when Mr. Kingsley gave a salary raise to all the staff a while ago? 

Tom then had a sudden realization as he reflected. 

‘Back then, Mr. Kingsley had just gotten married to Ms. Ramos. He was exceptionally happy and even raised salaries for all employees. It made sense that he didn’t pursue minor mistakes then… 

Tom suddenly connected the dots and pondered, ‘Wait a minute, Mr. Kingsley has been in a bad mood all day. Could it be related to Ms. Ramos?” 

That evening. Tom drove Valentin back to the Kingsley Villa after work. Upon arriving at the Kingsley Villa, Tom immediately sought out Gavyn, the butler, and asked in a hushed tone, “Did Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Ramos have a fight?” 

e has been off since Gavyn looked troubled. “The last night.” Tom also started to worry. 

He mused, ‘Ms. Ramos’ influence on Mr. Kingsley is indeed significant.” 

As Gavyn was worrying, his eyes suddenly lit up. He then hurried back to his room with his old, stiff legs and pulled out a collection of books he had treasured for over a decade. 

He thought, ‘Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Ramos must have argued because he lacks experience in romance!’ 

Gavyn, holding the books, approached Tom and confidently said, “Mr. Shaw, give these books to Mr. Kingsley. They will surely mend their relationship!” 

Tom curiously looked at the titles, and the next second, he was speechless. 

The books’ titles were ways to coax women.
