Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 60

Miranda looked worriedly at Ashley. “Ashley.”

Bryce was incredulous. “Ashley, I said Shirley’s harp playing was okay because I don’t understand the harp. How can you say the same?

Ashley corrected him. “I didn’t say it was okay, I said it was not good.”

Bryce felt darkness before his eyes, almost fainting from anger, and he whispered, “Is that the point right now!”

“What is the point, then?” Ashley looked at him.

Bryce took a deep breath, looking at her with a mixture of frustration and disappointment. “The point is Eddy! The harp maestro, Eddy! Eddy is coming here to confront you in person!” Ashley replied leisurely, “I know.”

Bryce, feeling helpless, ran his fingers–through his hair, finding her unflappable attitude difficult to

deal with.

The online audience of the livestream, hearing that Eddy agreed to come, were thrilled.

[Shirley is awesome. She actually got Eddy to comell

[Seems like Eddy is pretty fond of Shirley!]

[Ashley is done for. Did you hear how anxious Mr. Moore sounded when he said I’m coming over right now! He must be furious.]

[Ashley is really asking for trouble, not only blindly criticizing Shirley but also facing off with Mr. Moore in person.]

[That’s Eddy, a maestro in the harp world! Ashley is nowhere near Mr. Moore’s level!]

Matthew looked in Ashley’s direction, feeling a sense of schadenfreude.

He thought, ‘Ashley, this fool dares to confront Eddy.

“Shirley is Eddy’s student, and Eddy will definitely side with Shirley.

‘Once Eddy arrives, Ashley’ll be utterly humiliated. She’s really brought this on herself.

“Thankfully, Ashley has already severed ties with the Ramos family, so even if she’s embarrassed, it won’t reflect on the Ramos family‘

Bryce was nervous, thinking, ‘Once Eddy arrives, I should try to help Ashley out. After all, she’s one of us.

‘Besides, Ashley just helped me calm an out–of–control horse.

Soon, a staff member from the program team came to inform, “Mr. Moore is here!”

The director, visibly excited, said, “Hurry up. Bring him in!”

Led by the staff, an elderly man in a suit with graying hair and using a cane walked in.
