Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 70

Matthew had planned to release his album in two months, but he deliberately advanced the release by a month, coinciding with Bryce’s. new song launch. He was determined to give Bryce a blow.

Matthew’s and Bryce’s horses had lost control during a recent variety show. Ashley shockingly chose to save Bryce instead of her own brother.

Moreover, Bryce had overstepped his bounds in defending Ashley, even going so far as to insult Matthew, calling him a dog and telling him to watch himself.

Just the thought of it made Matthew slam on the table in anger.

His decision to release his new song earlier than planned wasn’t just a whim. It was a confidence move. Matthew was certain his sales would surpass Bryce’s, providing the perfect opportunity to deflate Bryce’s arrogant demeanor.

He wanted to show Bryce the consequences of siding with Ashley.

In that case, Matthew believed this would leave Ashley without any allies. Eventually, she would have no choice but to return to the Ramos family, disgraced and ready to be scorned.

He was looking forward to the day Ashley would come back to him, crying and begging for forgiveness.

Matthew hummed a tune with a sense of pride as he continued to prepare his new album. He was just one song away from completion.

Glancing at his phone, he saw that his message to Ash had once again. gone unanswered.

Ash still hadn’t replied.

Clutching his phone, Matthew repeatedly opened the chat with Ash, initially suspecting that his phone was malfunctioning and not receiving

messages.

However, even after switching to a new phone, there was still no reply from Ash.

It wasn’t the phone that was the issue.

Ash was genuinely ignoring him.

The thought of being disregarded and abandoned by Ash turned Matthew’s face pale with a rush of anxiety.

Had he upset Ash in some way?

But Matthew couldn’t think of anything.

Probably, Ash was just too busy to respond to his messages.

“Yes, that must be it,” he murmured.

Ash was just too busy to reply.

Comforting himself with these thoughts, Matthew felt slightly relieved from anxiety.

Considering how busy Ash was, so busy that he didn’t have time to compose for his student, it was even less likely that he would write a song for Bryce.
