Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 179

Joseph was anxious and frightened. He called Ashley again, but her phone was off.

“Her phone is turned off?”

Joseph’s back was covered in cold sweat.

If something happened to Ashley, he wouldn’t have to return home. He didn’t know how to explain it to

Valentin.

Lester had strong observations. While looking for Ashley in the crowd, he took out his mobile phone

and decided to call the accompanying bodyguards and ask them to bring some people to find Ashley.

Unexpectedly, he just took out his cell phone and received a call from his brother, George Pliskin.

Lester wondered, ‘Why did George suddenly call me?’

He swiped the screen to answer the phone. “George.”

“It’s me. I’m Ashley!”

The girl’s clear and pleasant voice came from the other end of the call.

Lester was stunned. “Ashley?”

As soon as he spoke, Joseph, Jaden, Bryce, and Miranda, who were looking for Ashley, immediately

gathered around him.

“Is a call from Ashley?” Joseph was anxious, staring at Lester.

Lester nodded. “Yes. It’s her voice.”

Joseph breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest. Ashley’s sudden disappearance almost gave him

a heart attack. His heart was really scared.

Fortunately, Lester connected with Ashley.

Jaden, Bryce, and Miranda also felt relieved when they heard that.

Lester took down his phone from his ear and glanced at the screen. It was a call from George, but why

was Ashley speaking?

“Ashley, why didn’t you call me on your mobile phone?”

“Oh, my phone is out of battery and turned off,” Ashley sighed. It was

unlucky. “Didn’t everyone get dispersed by the crowd just now? I was pushed a little far away and

couldn’t find you when I turned around.

mobile phone was in silent mode, and I didn’t receive any calls from you. Then it ran out of power and

turned off. I met a man on the roadside who looked a lot like you. He recognized me, said he was your

eldest brother, and came to Manditus to see you.”

Ashley would not easily believe strangers’ words, but that man had Lester’s number in his mobile

phone contacts.

She dialed it and actually got through.

After listening to Ashley’s explanation, Lester rubbed his forehead and thought, ‘George came to

Manditus. It seems that he already knew that Ashley might be our sister who had been lost since

childhood.”

“Ashley, where are you now? Joseph and I will go find you right away.”

Ashley answered, “I’m next to a swan-shaped lantern.”

Lester looked over.

This swan-shaped lantern was a famous landmark nearby. It was indeed far away from where Lester

was now. Ashley had actually been pushed over there by the crowd.

After hanging up, Lester immediately led Joseph and others there.

Walking to the swan lantern, they saw Ashley talking to a man.

The man was tall and handsome with outstanding facial features. He wore a well-tailored black suit. His

face seemed to be stained with frost and snow, carrying the coldness of being superior and indifferent.

Even though George looked cold and indifferent, his perfect face, as if carefully carved by the creator,

attracted many women to look at him frequently.

His height and temperament were outstanding among the crowd.

The person next to George was a man who looked like an assistant.

The assistant lowered his head slightly, looking extremely respectful.

Joseph saw the intact Ashley, and the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared. He wanted to run

over, but when he saw the man beside Ashley, he stopped.

However, Joseph had always been casual. He just paused a second and. then ran towards Ashley.

“Ashley, I finally found you! Fortunately, you are okay. Otherwise, how could I explain to Valentin?”

Ashley blinked and thought, ‘Is it that serious?’

She coughed lightly, saying, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

On the side, Bryce was slightly startled when he heard Joseph’s words and keenly sensed something

was wrong.

Why did Joseph say he could not explain to Valentin?

‘If something happened to Ashley, couldn’t he explain to Valentin? What is the hidden relationship

between Ashley and Valentin?’ Bryce

wondered.

Jaden secretly looked at George, who had a cold temperament.

Lester raised an eyebrow slightly and introduced to everyone while chatting and laughing, “This is

George Pliskin, my brother.”

Jaden suddenly realized that the man beside Ashley was George, the current leader of the Pliskin

family.

George’s appearance was somewhat similar to Lester’s.

Miranda only dared to peek at George because he looked too cold. She thought his face was covered

with a layer of frost, and even his hair exuded chill, making people fear getting close to him.

His temperament was completely different from Lester’s.

Lester was cunning and scheming, while George was cold and distant.

It was late at night, and everyone no longer admired the night view of the river and returned to the

hotel.

The group went back to their rooms.

George followed Lester to his room.

Lester asked, “George, why did you come here suddenly?”

George walked to the single sofa and sat down, looking up at Lester. He

asked coldly, “How long do you plan to delay it if I don’t come?”

After saying that, he shifted his gaze to Lester’s legs. “Your legs are healed? Are you no longer in a

wheelchair?”

Lester felt somewhat guilty.

George’s handsome face took on a stern expression. “Then go abroad and manage the branch.”

Lester panicked, and veins popped out on his forehead. He quickly changed the subject. “George, you

saw Ashley. What do you think?”

Thinking of that girl with a bright and lively smile, George softened his usual cold face.

Lester knew what George meant as soon as he saw his expression. He smiled, “You also think Ashley

is a bit like our lost sister since childhood, right?”

“Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” George looked at Lester..

Lester sighed, “I want to confirm it before telling Mom. After all, we have mistaken girls many times

before. Every time we find the wrong person, Mom would feel sad.”

“So you’re hemming and hawing, and you still haven’t confirmed it yet?”

“George, taking a paternity test is not that simple.” Lester had been having a headache about this

matter for a long time.

Looking at George, Lester suddenly smiled, bent over, and approa “Do you have any good ideas?”

George pushed him away expressionlessly and said in a calm tone, “Explain this matter to Ashley.”

Lester was startled. “Is that okay?”

George tapped the sofa’s armrest, saying, “Don’t try to take hair or other things from her secretly. Tell

her directly. It is also a sign of respect for her.

Lester nodded thoughtfully.

George was right. He had to respect Ashley’s wish.

George continued, “I have brought Mom’s blood sample and trustworthy doctor. After explaining it to

Ashley, we can start the paternity test if she agrees.”

Lester paused for a moment.

He didn’t expect George to bring blood samples and doctors over.

He exclaimed in his heart, ‘George is indeed efficient.”

Lester took a look at the time. It was still early and not time to go to bed,

so he said, “Let’s come to Ashley now and explain it to her.”
