Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 171

Miranda noticed something off about Ashley and quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Ashley?”

Ashley stared at the driver in black and confirmed again, “You’re saying the guy in the black clothes is Bradley?”

Miranda nodded, puzzled, “Yeah, why? What’s up?”

Ashley smiled bitterly, thinking. ‘Bradley? Heh, he even takes a fake name. That’s obviously Ryan!”

“Did he tell you his name was Bradley?” Ashley hesitated and asked Miranda,

“Yes, he said his name was Bradley, Ashley, why do you ask this? Could it be…” Miranda asked in surprise. “That’s not his real name?”

That’s not his real name.”

“What?” Miranda was astonished, pausing for a moment before

murmuring. “He gave me a fake name… Then what is his name? Do you know him?

Ashley remained expressionless and calmly said, “His real name is Ryan, and he is from the Ramos family. Before I cut ties with them, he was my brother.

“What? A member of the Ramos family?’ Miranda’s eyes widened in shock as if she had heard an unbelievable joke, and it even felt hard to breathe.

She didn’t know Ryan, didn’t understand him, but hearing that he was one of the Ramos made her guess that Ryan must have been abusing Ashley like Frankie and Jeremy, mistreating her, far from a decent family member.

Yet, during their recent interactions, she always thought Bradley was at good person, even developing a liking for him. Despite not understanding racing, she had even traveled abroad to watch his competition.

But now, the truth was that Bradley was Ashley’s despicable brother.

After a long moment, Miranda snapped out of her daze, suddenly standing up. “Ashley, the race doesn’t start for another hour. I want to go find Bradley and ask him about this. Will you come with me?”

“Alright.”

Ashley stood up and went with Miranda to the driver’s rest area.

Typically, spectators weren’t allowed near the driver’s rest area.

But last night, Bradley told Miranda that he had arranged with the staff for her to visit the lounge any time before the game started.

Last night, Miranda had even felt a sweet sense of being specially treated because of his actions.

Upon seeing Miranda approaching, Bradley was surprised.

However, the next second, his expression turned sour as he saw Ashley beside Miranda, his brows furrowing into a scowl.

Witnessing such a stark change in Bradley’s expression, Miranda instantly realized that everything Ashley had said was true.
