Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 199

Nell’s expression momentarily changed because of Ryan’s question.

He still remembered Ryan. Though he refused to be Ryan’s orthopedic surgeon at first, he finally

operated on Ryan for a leg injury.

If Ava, precisely Ashley, hadn’t begged him to treat Ryan, he wou have agreed.

Nell’s nephew was a race car driver, but he had never won one race against Ashley. To help his

nephew to win the championship, he made a deal with Ashley.

He promised that as long as she agreed to give up her racing career, he would do her a favor and

operate on Ryan.

Thinking of Ryan, she immediately agreed, which surprised Nell.

To help Ryan back on the track, she gave up what she loved and announced her retirement from motor

racing at the height of her career.

For Nell, the deal with her was something unethical that couldn’t be known by the public.

However, as the primary beneficiary of the deal, Ryan had the right to know the truth.

“Don’t you know why I agreed to operate on you?” Nell, who looked a little overweight, asked with

glistening eyes.

Ryan shook repeatedly. In fact, he had never thought about it before. He took it for granted that Nell

agreed to treat him because he was one of the Ramos family.



After the operation, Ryan thanked Evan and Bertha for what they had done to him. And he was more

grateful to Jessica than Ashley, his real

sister.

He hated Ashley so much that he didn’t want to see her face at all. Every time she came to visit him,

Ryan drove her out of his ward without a single glance at her.

“In order to treat your leg, your family begged me several times. Finally, I agreed to operate on you,”

Nell lied.

“I have a seminar to attend to, and I’m running out of

Nell left in a panic.

He had to keep the deal with Ashley secret, because he didn’t want it to tarnish his reputation..

Before long, Nell saw a tall man not far away.

The man leaned leisurely against the car, as if he was waiting

Nell immediately recognized him. He was Lester, the second master of the Pliskin family. It was

acknowledged that the Plisk was one of the four big families.

“Mr. Pliskin, what are you…” Nell quickly went to greet him.

Lightly glancing at him, Lester said straightforwardly, “The secret deal between you and Ava…”



Nell froze in shock, wondering why Lester knew about it.

After a moment of thought, he calmed down. It wasn’t difficult for Lester to find it out. After all, the

Pliskin family powerful, and Lester was a man who was capable of anything.

Staring at him, Lester continued in a cold tone, “I need you to tell the public about the deal you made

with Ashley.”

“I…” Nell was torn. “This deal is between Ava and I. I can’t make it public.”

“Are you sure?” Lester looked at him with a smile.

Lester’s steely smile sent shivers down his spine. Nell was so scared that he could barely stand on his

feet. Though Lester came across as a gentleman, he actually was a ruthless man who couldn’t afford

to be messed with.

Nell stuttered in fear, “O-Okay, I’ll do as you say.”

“Hey, it hurts. Be gentle.” At Kingsley Villa, Ashley lay lazily on the bed. Sitting beside her, Valentin

gave her a massage, with his fingers tracing all the way down her back.

Lying like a sleepy cat, she complained about his bad massage skills in a

sweet tone,

“How about this?” He did it more gently.

That’s more like it.” Ashley felt so relaxed that she didn’t even want to open her eyes.



Suddenly, her phone rang. Pullan’s name showed up on the caller’s I.D.

She answered the phone.

Before she retired from motor racing, Pullan formed the tea and he was the team manager.

‘Hello, Ashley,” he said gracefully. Pullan sounded younger tha actual age. “I hope I’m not disturbing

you, do I?”

‘Of course not.”

ber,

“Great.” He continued with a laugh, “Actually, Kerston’s 60th anniversary is in a couple of days. They

want to invite Ava, the Racing Legend, to their anniversary celebration.”

Kerston was the world’s top race car manufacturer. Most race car drivers. were big fans of this brand.

Given that it was the most influential race car brand, a race car produced by Kerston was worth at least

500 thousand dollars.

“Ashley, Jason Miller, the president of Kerston, called me the other day. He said he wanted to invite

Ava, the Racing Legend, to the anniversary celebration, where you can make your public appearances

as the spokesperson for Kerston.”

However, Ashley wasn’t feeling up to it, saying, “Thanks, but no.”

Pullan quickly said, “If you agree to be the spokesperson as the Racing Legend, they’ll pay you 10

million dollars in return.”

She still wasn’t interested. “I’m not short of money now.”



“I know, Ashley, but hear me out.” Pullan paused for seconds and continued in a melancholy tone,

“Many people thought that Ava had passed away. Although there were rumors that Ava was alive not

long ago, you didn’t make any announcement. The public was so disappointed,”

Ashley was speechless.

Seriously? I’m not dead yet!’ she thought.

“Fine, you got me. She had a little frown between the

inching her cheek slightly. “Do you want me to keep massaging you?” he sked.

Thinking of how great she felt when he massaged her, Ashley gave in and inswered with a nod, “Yes!”

He took a swallow and chuckled, “Good girl.”

Ashley was wordless.

On the day of Kerston’s 60th anniversary celebration, Ashley took a loo at the date before going out.

Today was the third. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but she felt like it was a special day.

She thought about it carefully.

It hit her that her divorce agreement with Valentin would expire in ten days.

Her heart skipped a beat. Given that she was in a rush, blinking, she left hurriedly.

Many artists, celebrities, and top race car drivers were invited to Kerston’s 60th anniversary

celebration.

It was said that Ava would show up. Her hardcore fans couldn’t wait to see her.

They were grateful that their idol was still alive.

No words could describe how excited they were.
