Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 47

Chapter 47

As soon as Ashley heard Jeremy’s voice, she immediately frowned in disgust.

Jeremy ran up to her, and his eyes were filled with remorse and guilt. His lips trembled, and so was his voice. “Ashley, I’m so sorry. I made an awful mistake…”

Upon hearing Jeremy’s words, Joseph looked at him with disdain and sneered, “Now you realize you were wrong? What took you so long?”

Jeremy’s face was filled with anguish. “I was deceived by Jessica. I didn’t know it was you who saved me back then. If I had known…”

Joseph’s expression of disdain deepened at Jeremy’s words.

He first glanced at Ashley, who looked thoroughly disgusted with Jeremy.

Then, Joseph couldn’t hold back any longer and ruthlessly retorted,

“So, you finally realize that Jessica deceived you? Tell me, how did she manage to fool you? Oh, right! Jessica just casually made up a lie, and you believed it without even verifying it. You didn’t even listen to Ashley’s explanation. I’m afraid you’ve never truly considered Ashley as your family. Ashley is your biological sister! Why can’t you even trust her?”

Jeremy was left speechless, blocked by Joseph’s accusations.

He couldn’t bear to argue because, in the past, he had never trusted Ashley, not even a bit.

He also had never treated her as family.

If Jeremy had shown even a single bit of trust in Ashley, he wouldn’t have easily believed Jessica’s one–sided story..

In the end, it was his failure to fulfill the responsibilities of being an older brother.

Ashley didn’t want to talk to Jeremy and tried to leave with Joseph.

“Ashley!” Jeremy exclaimed, blocking her way

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you so poorly.”

Listening to his belated apology, Ashley only felt indifferent, as if Jeremy’s words meant nothing to

her.

Jeremy looked at his biological sister, full of self–reproach, with a mind full of words he wanted to say, apologies he wanted to express, and an acknowledgment of his past mistakes. But he hesitated on how to begin.
