Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 143

In the past, Frankie would have rushed to defend Jessica upon hearing someone talk about her like that.

But now, Frankie just stood there, as if deaf to the insults hurled at Jessica and blind to her current embarrassing situation.

He could only see one person, Ashley, who was stunningly beautiful among the crowd.

Everyone else was a blur. Only Ashley was crystal clear. She was his beloved sister.

The disdainful and mocking glances from others felt like thorns in Frankie’s back, unbearable. He wanted to turn and flee, to escape from there.

Yet, his eyes stayed on Ashley.

At that moment, Ashley was surrounded by reporters, bombarded with questions.

A reporter finally voiced a question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time, “Ashley, you’ve always been known for designing women’s wear and have never ventured into men’s fashion. Will you consider designing men’s clothing in the future?”

Upon hearing this, Jaden also looked at Ashley in curiosity.

Ashley, as if struck by a thought, lowered her eyelashes and chuckled, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

She replied, “I won’t be designing men’s wear for the public.”

The journalists, clever as ever, immediately caught the point in her words. “Not publicly? Does that mean you might design men’s clothing privately?”

“Wow, which lucky gentleman has the privilege of having Attelia’s design? Ashley, is he someone special to you?”

Ashley’s eyes sparkled like jewels, her lips red, and she said, “I’m sorry, I can’t answer that”

But Jaden got it instantly.
