Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

However, Ryan quickly dismissed this thought.

He thought, ‘Everyone knows Ava, the Racing Legend is a man. And Ashley is a woman. How could the two be connected?”

Ryan then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He pondered, ‘How can it be like this? Frankie’s search for Attelia led to Ashley, and Matthew’s mentor Ash is also Ashley. It is making me paranoid now. But thankfully, Ava, the Racing Legend, is a man. Ashley can’t possibly be Ava.

The tension inside Ryan then finally eased.

Yet, he still looked at Ashley curiously. “Mr. Lawrence just said he thought you were returning to racing today. How come I didn’t know you could race?”

Ashley responded indifferently, “There’s a lot you don’t know.”

“Ashley!” Ryan immediately felt irritated, thinking, “What kind of attitude is this toward her brother? Doesn’t she have any respect?’

Ryan took a deep breath and stared intently at Ashley. “Since you can race, why not have a competition with me right now, here at the racetrack?”

He wanted to see just how good Ashley’s racing skills were.

If her skills were mediocre, then it was even less likely she was Ava.

But to Ryan’s surprise, Ashley, with a slight raise of her eyebrows, decisively refused his offer. “I don’t want to.”

With a look of confusion, Pullan turned his gaze to Ashley, silently asking why she refused to compete.

To Pullan, it seemed like a good opportunity to teach Ryan a lesson, especially after his rude behavior toward Ashley.

Sensing Pullan’s query, Ashley chuckled, yet with a barely noticeable bitterness, “Have you forgotten? I promised someone that I would no longer participate in racing competitions.”

Upon hearing this, Lester immediately understood and pondered, “This is
