Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 223

Ashley stepped into the corridor to answer Lester’s call.

“Hey, Ashley, I just watched your variety show livestream. It was brilliant, and I had learned a lot from you.” Lester’s voice came through, tinged with amusement.

Ashley had a moment of realization. “No wonder you called right after I finished the show. You were watching the livestream and timed your call perfectly?”

He confirmed, “Of course, I had to watch your show.”

“Thank you.” Ashley scratched her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and then asked, “By the way, does Cara have any connection with the Pliskin family?”

Lester didn’t hide anything, replying truthfully, “I checked Cara’s background. She grew up in an orphanage, and her age matches my sister’s, but we haven’t done a DNA test yet.

“Besides, when I saw Cara, I didn’t feel that kindred familial connection…”

So, he was inclined to think that Cara probably wasn’t related to the Pliskin family and not the sister he lost in his childhood.

“I see.” Ashley paused and continued sincerely, “Regardless, I hope you find your sister soon.”

Lester chuckled, “I’ll take that as a good omen from you.”

Ashley also chuckled. She then chatted with Lester for a while longer before hanging up.

Just as she ended the call, Joseph’s call came through.

Ashley swiped the screen to answer, asking, “Hey, what’s up?”

“Ashley, who were you talking to? I tried calling you, but your line is busy!” Joseph sounded like a know-it-all. “My sixth sense tells me you definitely weren’t talking to Valentin. Am I correct?”

Ashley was genuinely surprised, her eyes widening slightly. “Your sixth

sense is that accurate?”

Joseph smiled smugly, “Ashley, just admit how accurate I am! Am I not

like a clairvoyant?”

She sighed, “Alright, alright, you got it right. But how did you know I wasn’t talking to Valentin?”

“Because Valentin has been right next to me since a while ago, and his phone hasn’t rung once!” Joseph laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached the back of his head, and if he had a tail, it would definitely be wagging joyously.

Ashley was rendered speechless and almost rolled her eyes, thinking, ‘Darn it, I fell for such a simple trick! And here I thought Joseph’s sixth sense was really that sharp!”

Joseph was laughing uproariously, his stomach nearly aching from it. “So, Ashley, who were you talking to just now? I have the speaker on. Let Valentin hear, too.”

Ashley sighed and pondered, ‘I can’t believe this guy.’
