Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 249

Cara tightly grasped her phone, exerting so much force that her joints turned white.

Little did she expect Lester to play such a move without warning.

The fact that she grew up in an orphanage had spread widely on the Internet. In addition, her facial features resembled Ashley’s, which meant. she looked somewhat like Karen. Cara thought it would attract the attention of the Pliskin family and lead them to recognize her as their lost daughter.

Indeed, Lester had come looking for her before. That day in the coffee shop, she refused to acknowledge herself as the Pliskin family’s lost. daughter at first, fearing it would be perceived as an attempt to gain financial benefits.

In anticipation, after the coffee shop encounter, Lester would approach. her again for a DNA test.

Tyler had been collaborating with the Pliskin family for many years. His medical skills were exceptional, and his qualifications were profound. He was the go-to person for DNA tests to find the lost daughter. All it took was a slight alteration by Tyler in her and the family’s DNA results, showing she had a blood relationship with the Pliskin family. Then she could successfully become the family’s lost daughter, and Ashley would never relate to the Pliskin family at all.

However, Cara never expected Lester to make such a move today.

George always took Tyler along during the previous two DNA tests conducted between Ashley and the Pliskin family. He was adamant that the tests be performed by their trusted collaborator, Tyler, who had worked with the family for many years.

The Pliskin family’s youngest daughter went missing during her childhood, and, of course, it was related to him.

Tyler had no intention of letting Ashley and her family recognize each other. But…

Tyler paced back and forth, fuming, then squinted and said, “Cara, Lester did this because he doesn’t trust you. He must be secretly investigating your identity. You need to limit contact with me. We can’t let the Pliskin. family know my involvement.”

“Alright, I understand, Mr. Morgan.”

After hanging up, Cara looked up at the glaring sun in the sky.

It wasn’t until her eyes stung and tears welled up from the intense light that she averted her gaze.

She thought, ‘Ashley… This is the last time. I would not let you have it easy next time.’

In the hospital room, Zain, Ralph, and Maggie were nowhere to be seen. Ashley stood by Valentin’s bedside.

When Joseph entered the room, he saw untouched food on the table, furrowing his brow. “Ashley, you have to eat something.”

Ashley tucked Valentin in and casually replied, “I’ll eat later.”
