Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 188

Andrew felt displeased with Ashley’s expectations. He narrowed his eyes. and said in gloom. “Are you

looking forward to meeting Valentin?”

“If I don’t expect Valentin to come, should I expect to be forced to stay here and recall the past? I even

suspect you lied to me on purpose.”

After speaking, Ashley ran out of the living room.

Andrew frowned in anger.

As Ashley ran past him, he suddenly stretched out his hand and clamped her soft wrist.

He said defiantly. “Do you want to make another bet?”

“Bet on what?” Ashley instantly got alert.

“Just bet.” Valentin paused for a while, raised his eyebrow, and smiled meaningfully, “Bet if Valentin can

get you out of here.”

Ashley frowned and said coldly, “Stop picking on him, Andrew.”

“Pick on him?” Andrew sneered, grabbing Ashley’s wrist with one hand, and tapping his temple with the

other. Then, he added, “I have a bad memory. I even forgot to give you today’s greeting gift.”

Ashley looked serious and refused indifferently. “I don’t want it.”

Andrew was cunning and always behaved crazily with an abnormal. mind, so Ashley wouldn’t accept

his gift.

But Andrew ignored Ashley’s refusal and ordered the subordinate on the side, “Take the gift here.”

Then, he took Ashley to the study on the second floor.

When they entered the study, Ashley broke free from Andrew’s grasp. At this time, the subordinate

came over with a rectangular gift box and handed it to Ashley with both hands.

Ashley stood still and looked up at Andrew, who was standing by the window. “I told you I don’t want it.”

Andrew tilted his head and smiled perversely, “If you don’t take it, he will have to keep holding it.”

Andrew mentioned the subordinate who delivered the gift.

Ashley frowned. She didn’t want to trouble others, so she took the gift with reluctance.

The subordinate finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside with hist head down respectfully.

Ashley opened the box and found a silver pistol inside, which was not a toy but a real gun full of bullets

in it.

Ashley immediately recognized the model of the pistol. Although it was rare, it performed well and was

commonly used by mercenaries.

Ashley sneered.

She found his gift as abnormal as himself.

“Why did you give it to me?” Ashley looked at Andrew speechlessly.

“Don’t you like it?”

“Sort of.” Ashley was good at shooting and interested in firearms, but she couldn’t bring the real pistol

on board.

At this moment, a dazzling light flashed through the glass window of the study. Under the darkness, the

light came closer and closer, and it looked like a car coming from a distance.

Ashley was moved, and her heart beating violently. She seemed something and ran to the window to

look out.

One black car after another drove towards the villa and surroun the cars pulled up, the burly

bodyguards in black got out and slo approached the villa.

As soon as these bodyguards got out of the cars, they pointed their g in the direction of the villa.

Seeing this situation, Andrew’s subordinates, who were patrolling near the villa, immediately became

vigilant. They all gathered together and blocked before the villa. They also pointed their guns at the

bodyguards before them.

The two parties formed a confrontation.

In the tense and dangerous situation, the door of the black car parked in the middle slowly opened, and

the noble Valentin showed up out of the

car.

In the dark night, the lights of several cars merged together.

Valentin leaned over and got out of the car, standing under the backlight. His face was blurred, and

only the outline of his side could be discerned.

But Ashley on the second floor recognized him at a glance, and she knew it was Valentin.

Valentin indeed came there to save her.

Ashley froze for a moment. She turned around and wanted to run out.

But the subordinate standing aside immediately raised his hands and blocked Ashley’s way.

Ashley frowned, stopped, and looked at Andrew aside. “Enough is enough.”

“Do you still remember the bet just now, Ashley?” Andrew sneered coldly, “I bet Valentin can’t take you

away from here.”

After speaking, he forcefully dragged Ashley back to the window and had/ her face out.

Ashley struggled subconsciously.

But Andrew stood behind Ashley as if hugging her from behind. He held her left hand with one hand,

picked up the silver pistol with the other hand, and placed it in the palm of Ashley’s right hand.

Then, Andrew held Ashley’s right hand with the gun from behind as if teaching her how to shoot.

However, he slowly raised the muzzle and pointed it in Valentin’s direction outside the villa.

“Andrew!”



Ashley’s eyes suddenly widened, and she called his name coldly and immediately struggled out.

Andrew firmly grasped her right hand, holding the gun from behind with great strength, pointed the gun

in the direction of the muzzle, and aimed it at Valentin outside the villa without any deviation.

He lowered his head slightly and whispered meaningfully in Ashley’s ear,

“Don’t you plan to divorce him?”

At this time, Valentin, outside the villa, seemed to feel Ashley’s direction. He suddenly raised his chin

and looked towards the second floor of the villa with his stern eyes.

Then, the bodyguards around him immediately looked up and followed his gaze.

The bodyguards sensed the gun pointing at them. They looked alert, immediately turned the muzzle of

the gun, and pointed in the direction. of the second floor.

At this time, in the second-floor study, Andrew stood behind Ashley, holding her right hand with the gun

from behind. He lowered his head slightly, and Ashley even could feel his warm breath. “You didn’t

want to marry him at first, right?”

Ashley didn’t like being cooped up and said indifferently without any emotions, “It’s none of your

business.”

“Since you don’t want to marry him, how about I help you get rid of him?”

“How dare you?” Ashley replied in anger.

She found Andrew completely lost control.

Ashley closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “If you are abnormal in mental, please leave me alone.

Let go of me now, Andrew. Do me?”

Andrew chuckled, with affection in his eyes. “But I feel reluctant you go.”

Ashley had her back to him and couldn’t see his expression. She gri her teeth in anger, suddenly

He groaned in pain hoarsely and hurriedly gasped.

His groans sounded ambiguous.

Ashley took the chance to break free from Andrew’s grasp. She turned to look at Andrew and instantly

pointed the gun at his head.

Andrew had a gun pointed at his head, but he still looked completely unconcerned. He rubbed his chest

with his fingertips and sighed, “How fierce you are!”

Seeing this situation, the subordinate immediately took out his gun and pointed it at Ashley’s temple.

As a subordinate, whether Andrew loved Ashley, he would protect Andrew whenever he was

threatened.

However, Andrew suddenly looked sullen and stared at the subordinate with sinister eyes. “How dare

you pull a gun on her? Put it down!”

The subordinate was stunned for a moment.

Andrew didn’t mind if Ashley held him at gunpoint, but he got furious when the subordinate did it to

Ashley.

“Mr. Banks,” the subordinate muttered, wanted to explain the situation to Andrew.

Andrew looked gloomy and said meaningfully, “I enjoyed her pointing a gun at me. You got a problem

with that?”

The subordinate immediately fell into silence and withdrew his

gun.

But he feared Ashley might hurt Andrew.

Ashley looked speechless at this time. “Knock it off, Andrew!”

But Andrew just glanced at the clock on the wall. “There are only twenty minutes left, and haven’t you

still remembered what you promised me?”

Ashley didn’t know how to reply.

She pointed a gun at him, but he was still concerned about the trifles in this situation.

Ashley glanced at the clock and found it was eleven-forty. She guessed the whole thing had something

to do with the time.

Outside the villa, Valentin raised his head and looked in the direction of the second floor, and when he

intended to walk towards the villa, a gunshot broke the tranquility of the night.

Valentin’s face fell, and Andrew came out of the villa within a few seconds.



Then, Andrew’s subordinates immediately stepped aside to make way for him.

Both sides were still facing off with guns raised.

But Andrew strolled a few steps away from Valentin and stopped, narrowing his eyes and looking him

up and down.

Valentin looked sullen and asked indifferently, “Where is Ashley?”

Andrew smiled and said emotionlessly. “She doesn’t want to leave with you.”

Hearing this, Valentin immediately got furious and couldn’t suppress his anger anymore. He said coldly,

“I’ll repeat it, where is Ashley?”

This meant he had limited patience and issued an ultimatum.

But Andrew laughed, raised his eyebrow, and said, “I’ll repeat it. She doesn’t want to leave with you.”

Then, Ashley’s voice sounded. “I do want.”

The crisp and sweet voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.

Valentin looked startled, immediately turned around, and saw Ashley. running out of the villa quickly.

Seeing this situation, Andrew’s brows immediately furrowed.

Ashley ignored him but ran straight towards Valentin and hurriedly rushed before him. She blinked at

him with fearful eyes and said, “He is talking nonsense. I want to leave with you.”
