Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 311

Ashley slightly raised her eyebrows when she saw Cara approaching. This was their first encounter since the last incident where Cara’s reputation was ruined due to a scandal involving the restoration of

artifacts.

Cara froze in her steps upon seeing Ashley. A sinister look in her eyes. replaced her usual gentleness.

Standing beside Cara was a middle-aged man named Stanley Knowles with a large belly. He eagerly said, “Ms. Ward, this project is going well. We’re in talks with the Pliskin Group for a partnership, and we’re just one step away from sealing the deal! I’ve been trying to contact Lester from the Pliskin family these past few days, but unfortunately, he’s too busy…”

Stanley paused when he saw Cara stop abruptly and noticed Ashley not far away.

His eyes lit up upon seeing Ashley. He knew of her but had only seen her on TV. Seeing her in person was much more impressive than on television.

However, remembering Ashley’s hostile relationship with Cara, Stanley hid his admiration and put on a stern face.

Ashley overheard Stanley’s comments about discussing a partnership with the Pliskin Group and wanting to meet Lester in person.

Noticing Cara’s irritated expression, Stanley stepped forward with a mocking tone. “Isn’t this the famous Ashley Ramos? Quite popular these days, huh?”

A few restaurant patrons stopped to watch the unfolding dispute.

One girl, recognizing Ashley, excitedly started recording with her phone. She was apparently a fan of Ashley.

Stanley scoffed disdainfully, “Popular indeed, but what a shame. She even got her parents put in jail. Not surprising for a Ramos family member. They’re all bad!”

Before Ashley could respond, the girl recording with her phone interjected, “What are you talking about? Evan and Jessica were trying to kidnap Miranda, and Ashley just called the police to stop them!”
