Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 283

Bertha had no strong opinions, so she blindly followed Evan’s suggestion. “Alright, let’s use Miranda to threaten Ashley.”

Evan said resentfully, “That wretched woman doesn’t know gratitude. We are her biological parents, and we reached out to her for help but were kicked out by her without any care about family ties! If even Miranda can intimidate her, it shows that we’re worse than Miranda to her!”

Jessica quickly intervened, speaking gently. “Dad, please don’t be angry. You still have me. I’ll always be with you and Mom, just like if you were my own parents.”

Evan, feeling less angry, realized. “Jessica, you truly are my good daughter. I haven’t raised you in vain all these years!”

Bertha looked at Jessica with a moved and gratified expression. She genuinely believed that Jessica was sensible and filial, much better than Ashley.

When they found Ashley, they thought she was a great treasure for the Ramos family. That was one of the crucial reasons why they agreed to bring Ashley back to the Ramos family.

But after that, they thought Ashley was useless.

Now, they realized that Ashley’s abilities were so valuable to the Ramos family. But it was a pity that she was cold-blooded and selfish, not considering her own relatives!

As for the plan to kidnap Miranda, Evan already had a plan in mind.

The director of the national television station wanted to invite Ashley to shoot a public service announcement, hoping to leverage her influence and appeal to promote cultural heritage protection.

“I’m interested in this! Count me in.”

Ashley immediately agreed. Such a public service announcement.

Once they finished discussing work matters, Laura asked, concerned, “I heard that Evan and Bertha intercepted you outside the company again?”

Ashley felt annoyed at the thought. “I already told the security not to let Evan near the company anymore.”

Laura nodded. “Alright, I’ll also remind the security to enhance their protection.”

While they were talking, Bryce impatiently walked in, saying to someone behind him, “Can you stop following me?”
