Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 175

As everyone’s attention was focused on the imminent arrival of Pullan, Joseph quickly pulled Ashley aside and whispered, “Did you meet Ava today? When?”

Ashley pondered for a moment and answered truthfully, “This morning.”

That morning, while she was washing up and looking in the mirror, she had just seen her reflection in the mirror.

Jaden was immediately thrilled and exclaimed, “Honey, you know Ava, the Racing Legend? Can you introduce me? I’ve always wanted to meet Ava!”

“That’s not right,” Bryce said, stroking his chin and carefully thinking it over. His brows furrowed slightly. “Ashley, we’ve been together all day. You didn’t go out alone. When did you have time to meet Ava?”

Upon hearing this, Jaden thought, ‘Right, Ashley has been with us all day.”

He then lowered his voice and asked Ashley, “Did you make up meeting Ava today just to contradict Ryan?”

Ashley was momentarily puzzled and pondered, ‘Making it up?”

Jaden clenched his right fist and hit it into his left palm. “This is bad. Mr. Lawrence is about to arrive. He’s Ava’s friend. Won’t your lie be exposed when he sees you?”

“Exposed?” Miranda also grew anxious. Seeing Pullan was about to arrive, she wondered, ‘What if he publicly accuses Ashley of lying?”

Joseph gritted his teeth, adopting a determined stance as if ready to defend Ashley at all costs. “Don’t worry, Ashley. Even if you were bluffing, it doesn’t matter. I support you unconditionally. You can bluff all you

want!”

Ashley, witnessing all this, was speechless.

Lester couldn’t take it anymore and shook his head in resignation. “Enough, you’re all overthinking it. Stop guessing.”

Although they were speaking in hushed tones, Ryan, who was observant of Ashley’s every move, still managed to overhear a few sentences.

He thought smugly, ‘So Ashley was just bluffing. She didn’t meet Ava
