Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 239

After the Skyward Art Exhibition concluded, Charlie took the initiative to find Ashley.

However, Ashley was indifferent, and she looked at him with cold eyes ast if he were a stranger.

Charlie paused briefly upon meeting her icy gaze. When they were in Ramos family, although Charlie was indifferent to Ashley, Ashley’s eyes towards him were always full with expectation.

“Ashley. I really like your painting Territory, and I’m willing to pay a hig price for it.”

Ashley refused bluntly. “It’s not for sale.”

Charlie frowned, probing. “Do you not want to sell the painting, or do you not want to sell it to me?”

Ashley chuckled, cold mockery in her beautiful eyes. “I don’t want to sell it to you.”

How could the Ramos family be so cruel to such a good girl?

Simon sighed and spoke affectionately. “Ashley, join me for dinner tonight. Let’s have a good chat.”

“Sure, Mr. Hunt.” Facing an elder, Ashley couldn’t refuse.

After saying that, she instinctively glanced at Valentin beside her. Only then did she realize that he had been looking at her for who knows how long.

Seeing Ashley looking over, Valentin raised his eyebrows slightly and discreetly squeezed her hand.

Ashley’s heart tightened, thinking, “There are still others around.

After Joseph heard Simon’s words, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, Well, he’s even occupying Ashley’s dinner time.
