Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 137

Ashley touched her nose awkwardly, feeling embarrassed about the

whole situation. She blinked sincerely. “No, there isn’t anyone special like that. You must have heard wrong.”

Valentin clearly didn’t believe her. He stared at her silently, his gaze carrying an invisible aggressiveness.

The standoff lasted less than three seconds. Ashley gave up and looked down. “Alright, that’s true. But I have nothing to do with that person now.”

Valentin narrowed his eyes. “So, you had something to do with him in the past?”

Ashley was exasperated, wondering why he was focusing on such a different point.

Upon hearing that, Ashley instantly recalled some memories she would rather not mention, her expression subtly changing. “Let’s not talk about it. That doesn’t matter. I have nothing to do with that person now.”

Seeing her evasive demeanor, Valentin could easily guess that Ashley and that person must have had some history and it wasn’t anything normal.

Valentin frowned with a gloomy gaze.

He felt that since Ashley didn’t want to talk about it, he would have to find out it himself.

After Ashley finished explaining, she hurriedly ran upstairs to her room. Just as she sat down at her vanity, her phone buzzed with a message from Joseph: [Ashley, you said you had something urgent to do. Are you done now?]

Ashley replied: [What do you want?]

Joseph texted: [If you’re done, let’s continue our chat. Who is that

extraordinary person who pursued you?]

Ashley was really fed up and texted: [Can you not be so nosy?]

Joseph whined and texted righteously: [I can’t… Gossip is the joy of life. I can’t lose it like a fish can’t live without water.]

Ashley was speechless..

Angrily typing, Ashley texted: [Stop it. Valentin overheard us just now…]

Joseph was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter. He texted: [Valentin heard it? How did that happen?]

Valentin must be seething with jealousy.
