Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 130

When Ashley heard Bertha’s name, she paused slightly. A sense of fierce could be witnessed from her

eyes, but it soon faded, and she returned to

calm.

“I won’t meet her. Tell the receptionist to kick her out.”

Ashley replied calmly.

Laura naturally understood Ashley’s attitude toward Bertha and conveyed Ashley’s words to the

receptionist.

In the lobby on the first floor, Bertha’s red lips slightly widened after hearing the receptionist’s words,

unable to accept them.

She didn’t expect Ashley to refuse to meet her.

As Ashley’s mother and family, she took the initiative to look for Ashley, but Ashley refused to meet her.

Bertha immediately got furious and looked gloomy. She gritted her teeth. and walked out of Royal

Entertainment in high heels.

Bertha didn’t go far when she noticed a supermarket nearby. She happened to have her ID with her, so

she went to the supermarket to get a new SIM card.

Then, Bertha called Ashley with this new number.

Ashley soon answered the phone with a polite and distant tone. “May I ask who is calling?”

Bertha suppressed her anger and shouted in a low voice, “How dare you refuse to meet me, Ashley?”

Before she finished speaking, Ashley hung up the phone directly.

Bertha froze for a while and took the phone off her ear in disbelief. When she found the hung-up call,

she lost her temper, and even her face

twisted.

Bertha didn’t give up and called Ashley with this new number again.

But she found Ashley had blocked the new number the next moment.

She even couldn’t believe it.

Chapter 130

Bertha couldn’t catch her breath and almost fainted. She felt a choking sensation in her chest and

threw the phone back into her bag with a sullen expression.

Bertha felt angry and also felt inexplicably distressed.

She wondered why her relationship with Ashley fell into distance.

Bertha held her handbag and looked up at Royal Entertainment. She hesitated for a while before

deciding to wait for Ashley here.

She didn’t think Ashley could stay in the company forever.

As long as Ashley came out of the company, she could meet her.

In Laura’s office, she glanced at Ashley on the couch and felt relieved when she found Ashley looked

normal and didn’t be affected by Bertha.

In Laura’s view, Bertha didn’t deserve to be Ashley’s mother.

At this time, the office door was pushed open.

Joseph ran in with high spirits. “Thank you very much this time, Ashley. I dealt with Sean under your

support.”

Joseph found Laura here, so he hid the real relationship between him and Ashley.

Ashley raised her eyebrows and grinned brightly, which looked energetic. “Has the contract with Sean

been signed?”

Joseph made a gesture and replied, “Yep! We had already signed the contract. I won’t fear Frankie will

way anymore.

After Joseph finished speaking, Jaden walked in and patted Joseph on the shoulder. “Aren’t you

forgetting something?”

Jaden didn’t belong to Royal Entertainment, and he just followed Ashley to visit the company.

Joseph rolled his eyes speechlessly. “What does it have to do with you? What are you asking for?”

Jaden sighed, “As the boss of Glory Youveile, I give away Dimi for free. Shouldn’t you express your

gratitude toward me?”

Joseph sneered and deliberately joked with him. “I won’t satisfy you. What can you do with me?”

Jaden seemed leisurely, looked at Ashley on the couch, and asked with a smile, “Did he ignore my

efforts on purpose, darling?”

Before Ashley could speak, Joseph, who always doted on Ashley, frowned. He found the appellation

too intimate.

Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly and warned with a sullen expression, “Don’t treat Joseph flightily,

Jaden.”

Jaden was not annoyed either. He grinned meaningfully and replied,

“Don’t forget what I’ve done for you, Joseph.”

Joseph choked on his words.

He had never met such a disgusting one before.

Ashley helplessly held her forehead and completely ignored them.

In the afternoon, Bryce came to Laura for business.

When Bryce noticed Ashley sitting on the couch, he raised his eyebrows. and greeted them with his

flamboyant silver hair. “Long time no see.”

Ashley raised her head and looked at him. “Long time no see.”

Bryce looked around the office. In addition to Ashley and Laura, he found Joseph and Jaden, who had

blue eyes.

Bryce recognized Jaden, the boss of Glory Youveile and Ashley’s friend.

“Come here, Bryce.”

Laura had Bryce sit down on the chair before the desk and chat with him about his work.

Bryce had a commercial shoot and a live broadcast tonight. After talking to Laura, he immediately left

with a full schedule.

When Bryce walked out of the door, he turned back and looked at Ashley on the couch.

The warm sunshine streaming in through the window. It shone on Ashley and made her look extremely

noble. Her lips were bright red, like a beautiful rose.

Bryce couldn’t help but stare at her for a while and ask curiously, “Can

you design clothes, Ashley?”

Hearing this, Ashley raised her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bryce smiled and showed a sense of arrogance. “Design one for me whe you’re free. I’ll pay you three

times the price.”

Ashley intended to refuse and told him she didn’t design menswear, but she suddenly thought of the

shirt she had designed for Valentin on hist birthday.

That was her first and only time designing menswear.

The shirt fit Valentin well.

It seemed that she was very talented in designing menswear.

But she wouldn’t design it for anyone else again.

Ashley looked at Bryce, and her eyelashes quivered gently. She smiled and refused simply. “I won’t

design for you. I’m busy.”

Bryce seemed a little disappointed. He looked at Ashley for a while, waved his hand, and left.

In the evening, Ashley checked the time and found it was time to go. home. She stood up and bid

farewells to Laura.

When Ashley, Joseph, and Jaden had just walked out of the company, a figure suddenly rushed over

and stopped before her.

Ashley was startled for a moment. When she recognized Bertha before. her, she frowned slightly. She

didn’t expect Bertha to be there.

She suspected that Bertha had been waiting since the afternoon.

Jaden didn’t know Bertha, but Joseph did.

Bertha once accused Ashley of pushing her down, which caused Ashley to be abused by the netizens.

But fortunately, the truth was revealed later.

Joseph hated the vicious Bertha very much.

“What will you try to slander about Ashley by coming to her company, Mrs. Ramos?”

Joseph smiled indifferently and deliberately asked such a strange

question.

Chapter 130

Bertha’s face turned pale, and she felt awkward.

However, she didn’t regret having slandered Ashley. She regretted that her accusation had been

overturned, causing Frankie to go to jail.

Bertha still felt resented when she thought of Frankie’s imprisonment, but she had another purpose in

coming to Ashley this time. She suppressed her anger and said, “I want to talk to you, Ashley.”

Hearing this, Ashley was a little startled.

It had been a long time since she had heard Bertha call her so intimately.
