Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 44

Jeremy stood up abruptly, appearing as shocked as if he had just bumped into a ghost. He looked aside at Jessica in disbelief.

Jessica was desperately trying to press the remote control, attempting to turn off the video. But no matter how hard she pressed, it had no effect.

The video continued playing on the screen smoothly.

“No way! I don’t want to die for Jeremy! If you want to kill someone, just kill him! Please spare me!”

Jessica cried out loud in despair, maliciously pushing Ashley forward.

“Take her! She’s willing to die for Jeremy! Just kill Ashley. She can die for him!”

The gangster looked at Ashley and laughed maliciously. “How funny. You were just comforting Jessica, and now she’s throwing you under the bus, haha!”

Ashley remained silent, offering no response.

The gangster turned his gaze toward Ashley, pointing at the unconscious Jeremy on the ground. “Now, tell me, are you willing to die for this loser?”

At this moment, Jeremy clenched his fists nervously.

‘How would she answer?‘ he thought, ‘How would she treat her own brother?”

The next second, Jeremy saw Ashley gazing down. In such a chaotic and dangerous environment, her beautiful eyes were still glittering like stars, tenacious and dazzling. However, Jessica had already! cried her eyes out, looking embarrassed and desperate.

Ashley looked at the gangster and answered with a clear and resolute voice, “I’m willing. But you have to keep your word and let them go.”

At the drop of those words, Jeremy’s mind instantly went blank, and he even forgot how to breathe.

He couldn’t believe that Ashley was actually willing to die for him.

After Ashley was brought back to the Ramos family, Jeremy had always despised her. Instead of showering her with kindness and love, all he had ever done to her was scolding and beating.

However, at that moment of life and death, Ashley was actually willing to die for such a horrible brother like him.

And Jessica, whom Jeremy had always cherished like a blood sister, abandoned him without any hesitation, showing no concern for his safety.
