Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 280

Joseph was gleefully enjoying the affectionate display between Valentin and Ashley in the back seat when suddenly, a dark figure unexpectedly appeared outside the car window.

“Damn!” Joseph cursed under his breath. He was startled, his body jolting in shock. For a moment, he thought it was a ghost in the dead of night.

Gathering his courage to take a closer look, he realized it was none other than Ryan, the fool.

“What’s wrong with you?” Already not fond of the Ramos family, Joseph was nearly scared out of his wits by Ryan and couldn’t help but lash out irritably. “Are you out of your mind, scaring people like a ghost in the middle of the night?”

Joseph irritably wondered, ‘Where did this idiot come from? Has he been following Ashley all this time?’

At that moment, Ryan was too shocked to pay attention to Joseph’s insults. His eyes were fixed on Ashley in the back seat and the man beside her.

Ryan thought, ‘Is that…Valentin?’

He initially doubted his eyes, but after a double-take, he was sure it was Valentin, the CEO of the Kingsley Group.

Ryan wondered, ‘Why is he sitting with Ashley? They seem quite familiar with each other.’

Ryan felt as if his world had crumbled, stunned as he looked through the car window at Ashley and Valentin.

The question about their relationship lingered unspoken in Ryan’s mind.

Struggling to find words, Ryan stammered, “Ashley… I… you…”

However, before he could say more, he was immediately met with Valentin’s icy and hostile gaze, which felt as cold as a harsh winter wind,

Realizing Valentin was defending Ashley left Ryan even more stunned. He stumbled over his words, saying:
