Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 224

Jeremy was driving, with Ryan seated in the back.

In the passenger seat, Matthew kept watching the car ahead, which was carrying Ashley and Joseph. He cautioned uneasily. “Jeremy, don’t get too close, Ashley might notice.”

“Like I need you to tell me that.” Jeremy maintained a steady speed, not too slow to lose them, yet not too close to be discovered.

“Jeremy, what do you think makes Joseph value Ashley so much? Sure, he’s the CEO of Royal Entertainment, but picking up Ashley himself seems a bit unreasonable, right? Why didn’t he pick up other artists from his company?” Matthew asked with suspicion.

Jeremy turned the car onto another road, explaining, “Joseph has always been protective of the artists in his company.”

“It’s not that simple. This is clearly out of line,” Matthew retorted, looking at Jeremy as if he were clueless. “Jeremy, seriously, use your mind.”

Jeremy was at a loss for words, gritting his teeth in frustration. “Shut up if you don’t want a beating!”

At that moment, Ryan spoke up. “Jeremy, Matthew is right.”

“You shut up too!” Jeremy’s forehead throbbed with veins, thinking everyone was starting to go against him.

He was annoyed at how his little brothers dared to talk to him like that.

Ryan habitually wore a black jacket. “Think about it, Jeremy. Today’s reality show was recorded by Ashley and Bryce together, and Bryce is also from Royal Entertainment. Why would Joseph pick up Ashley but not Bryce?”

Hearing Ryan put it that way, Jeremy furrowed his brows. “Huh, that’s actually true…”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Matthew suddenly made a startling connection, his voice rising in alarm. “That Joseph, he couldn’t be interested in Ashley, could he?”

As he said this, a sudden silence fell over the car.

One could hear a pin drop at that moment.
