Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 93

Matthew suddenly glared at her with a frown.

“Snap!”

With a loud slap, he struck Jessica across the face..

Jessica was utterly stunned and covered her face with her hand.

“Matthew, how could you hit me?” She exclaimed..

The slap was so forceful that her face began to swell.

Jessica was already frustrated. She was on the show with Matthew today, hoping that after Matthew met Ash, she would be able to bond with the famous Ash herself.

But fate dealt her a harsh blow.

She had never expected Ashley to be Ash!

Watching Ashley being praised and admired by everyone, Jessica’s jealousy grew uncontrollably, her insides burning with rage.

Ashley, that despicable woman, always seemed better than her in every aspect!

During the two years since Ashley’s return to the Ramos Villa, she had been treated like an unwanted child, unloved by her family. It should. have been Jessica who was in the spotlight, receiving all the praise.

Now, everything had changed.

Jessica couldn’t accept it, nor could she bear it!

She covered her swollen face, and her mind grew increasingly sinister.

Jessica insinuated slyly. “Matthew, I know that finding out Ashley is Ash must have been a huge shock to you…

“Ashley is really something… Why didn’t she tell you earlier that she was Ash?”

Jessica’s words were undoubtedly fanning the flames.

Matthew, of course, knew what Jessica was implying and looked at her with a smirk.

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Jessica stammered, “Matthew, why are you looking at me like that?”

Matthew softened his expression, smiling more tenderly.

“Jessica, during those dark days when I was lost, you wrote a song, “The Brightest Star, to encourage me. Besides the lyrics, you said two more. lines to cheer me up. Do you remember what they were?*

Jessica clenched her fist upon hearing this. Forcing a smile, she stuttered. “Matthew, it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten.”
