Save myself from desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 2

jeremy immediately turned to look at Jessica, his face filled with disbelief.

Jessica, my kind-hearted little sister… How could she utter such slanderous words?’ he thought.

Jessica felt a wave of unease, hastily attempting to defend herself.

Jeremy, it’s not like that! This isn’t true!”

However, the recording continued playing, offering her no chance to quibble.

Ashley’s considerate voice came from the recording pen again. She tried to persuade Jessica, “Jessica, are you sure you want to do this?”

Jessica responded with a sneer, seemingly taunting, “Ashley, even if you try to stop me, it’s useless. As you know, Jeremy has always believed me. He will never believe you.”

The next second, Jessica exclaimed, “Ah, Jeremy, hurry! Ashley is trying to push me down the stairs. She says I’m not worthy of being a part of the Ramos family, that I don’t deserve to stay in this house. She wants to kick me out, and I’m so scared… Jeremy, come save me!”

After hearing all of this, Jeremy finally figured out the truth.

Ashley didn’t push Jessica at all.

All of this was orchestrated by Jessica herself.

She deliberately walked to the stairwell and pretended to be pushed, then put all the blame on Ashley and framed her.

Throughout, Ashley remained innocent.

Jeremy had wrongly blamed his own sister!

He stared at Ashley in bewilderment for a moment, then suddenly furrowed his brows. “Ashley, even if I misunderstood you, why didn’t you explain it to me at the beginning?”

Ashley heard Jeremy’s question, and a touch of sarcasm appeared in her

eyes.

This was simply ridiculous. Her own brother acknowledged his mistake vet turned the blame on her for not explaining herself.

Counter?

Jeremy, item you haven’t aged, but your memory has certainly regressed?

Jeremy was left speechless after being retorted.

He recalled that just a few minutes ago, Ashley was trying to explain, saying she didn’t push Jessica.

But what did he do back then?

Not only did Jeremy not believe Ashley, but he didn’t even have the patience to listen to her words. He even grabbed the water glass and fiercely smashed it towards her! The wounds on her feet from the broken. glass were still bleeding.

Jeremy turned around in a daze, looking at Jessica beside him with disappointment.

Jessica, frightened, instantly teared up. “Jeremy, I know I was wrong! I shouldn’t have framed Ashley. I just…don’t want to lose you and Mom and Dad!”

Jeremy, hearing her explanation, was briefly stunned.

Seeing that he was willing to listen, Jessica knew she could turn this situation over. She instantly appeared even more heartbroken, and her tears fell like a heavy rain.

“Jeremy, I grew up in the Ramos family since I was a child. I’ve always considered you my brother and treated Mom and Dad as my birth

parents.

“Since Ashley came back, I’ve always been afraid that you and my parents. will reject me, afraid that you’ll abandon me. After all, Ashley is prettier than me and has a closer blood relationship with you.

“I was just too afraid of losing you all, which led me to make such a mistake against Ashley. Jeremy, I know I was wrong. It was all my fault! I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”

Jeremy’s heart had already softened a bit the moment he saw Jessica’s teary look.

And now, he was even more moved by her

even more moved by her sincere apology.

“What bad intentions could Jessica havere apology.

family ties Jeremy said to himself,

He immediately made up his mind, turned to Ashley, and said, “Jessica fred you only because she had been blinded by her confusion. Since you haven’t suffered any harm, as her elder sister, you should be more tolerant. Don’t hold it against her, okay? Just forgive her this time.”

Ashley only found his words incredibly ridiculous,

Her own brother not only didn’t support her when she was falsely accused but also asked her to be tolerant and forgive Jessica.

How absurd!

Ashley had no desire to stay in this family any longer.

She couldn’t bear to look at the hypocritical faces of her so-called families any longer. They only made her disgusted.

Jeremy, feeling no fault in himself, continued condescendingly, “Ashley, if you continue to be so petty and refuse to forgive Jessica, don’t blame me for kicking you out of this family!”

Ashley’s exquisite and stunning face remained expressionless, her gaze icy as a blade.

“Jeremy, there’s no need for you to kick me out. Today marks the end of any connection between me and the Ramos family. I won’t linger a moment longer in this house!”

With that, Ashley paid no attention to Jeremy’s expression and went straight to her room to pack her belongings.

It was actually quite pitiful. Considering she had lived with the Ramos. family for two years, Ashley didn’t have much to take with her. Her stuff couldn’t even fill a single suitcase.

Her household registration hadn’t been officially integrated into the Ramos family until now, and now, she wouldn’t need it anymore.

Quickly finishing packing her luggage and various documents, Ashley wiped the bloodstains from her legs caused by the glass shards. She didn’t have time to disinfect them, so she temporarily applied a few band-aids. Then, she changed into a long skirt to cover the abrupt wounds on her legs.

After doing all these, Ashley left her room with the suitcase. Despite her

Two years of residence, this bedroom remained as cold as ever.

Jeremy, seeing Ashley coming out with her suitcase, finally realized that Asdey wasn’t just throwing a tantrum.

“Is she really leaving this home? Severing all ties with the Ramos family?” He thought.

Jeremy’s face turned livid with anger. Ashley, think it through. If you leave this house today, don’t ever think about coming back! You’d better not regret your decision.”

Without looking back, Asliley asserted with each word, “I will never regret it!”

Jessica, witnessing this scene, could barely contain her satisfaction and joy.

She thought, ‘H ooray! Ashley is finally being kicked out! From now on, everything in the Ramos family will be mine, including their affection and wealth!’

Despite the excitement in Jessica’s heart, her face displayed apparent concern. “Jeremy, just persuade Ashley to come back! How can a girl like her survive without our family? What if she’s bullied?”

“Don’t bother about her!” Jeremy coldly snorted, his expression arrogant. “I’m sure she’ll beg us to come back in just a few days. By then, I’ll give her a good lesson!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a b*dyguard rushed in, looking flustered.

Seeing Ashley leaving with her suitcase, the b*dyguard didn’t even bother acknowledging her. It was well-known that this supposed heiress had no standing in the Ramos family, and there was no need to show her

any respect.

The real darling of the Ramos family was Jessica, the girl who wasn’t even related to them.

The b*dyguard stumbled into the living room, looking overjoyed. He

exed, “Mr. Ramos, Ms. Ramos, distinguished guests have arrived!

They’re already at the entrance. Judging from the license plate of their car, it looks like the Kingsley family’s vehicle!”

The Kingsley family?

Jeremy and esta exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and ecstasy in

The Kingsley family was the foremost elite in Kilos City.

While the Ramos family was also an influential household, their influence and power were nothing when compared to the Kingsley farmily.

A top-notch aristocratic family like the Kingsleys had a deep heritage that lasted for hundreds of years and widespread influence, far surpassing the Ramos family.

Over the years, the Ramos family had been trying to establish a relationship with the Kingsley family, aiming for business cooperation, but their attempts had been in vain.

Unexpectedly, the Kingsley family had come to visit today.

“Hurry! Let’s go out to welcome them!” Jeremy, his hands trembling with excitement, quickly adjusted his attire, instructing the b*dyguard to lead the way.

Jessica also tidied up her clothes, a shy blush appearing on her delicate face. She lifted her skirt and followed suit.

“I wonder which member of the Kingsley family has come today. Could it be…that man?’ Jessica thought.
