Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 200

At Kerston’s 60th anniversary celebration, the magnificent banquet hall vas packed.

Ashley looked pretty smart in a white suit, walking into the hall with Pullan.

she went in further and saw Lester, who wore a silver suit jack black shirt. He stood out among the

crowd, really attractive.

‘Ashley.”

He handed his red wine glass to a waiter on the side and walked over with a smile on his face.

“I didn’t expect you to be here,” she said in surprise and joy.

It struck her that the Pliskin Group used to partner with Kerston, the world’s top race car manufacturer.

It made sense that Kerston, as host, invited Lester to their 60th anniversary celebration.

“I’m not here by myself. Dr. Pound’s with me,” he replied with a smile.

She wondered, ‘Dr. Pound?

‘A doctor with the last name ‘Pound”?’

Nell’s face popped into her mind.

It reminded her that to help Ryan return to the race track he loved, she made a deal with Nell, who

promised to treat Ryan’s leg in return.

Outside the banquet hall at this time, Ryan, who was always seen in his racing wear, rarely wore a suit

today. He cut his hair in a crew cut and looked dashing.

He was a top race car driver who had won second place driving Kerston’s

race car.

The good performance of a racing driver was also a good advertisement to promote race cars in a way.

Naturally, Ryan was invited to today’s celebration.

“Jessica, follow me,” he said.

Ryan, I’d better not go in there.” Jessica flinched, her eyes full of worries and fear. “What if people see

me there and talk behind my back?”

Ryan felt heartbroken when he heard this.

When Jessica was still the only daughter of the Ramos family, people had the utmost respect for her.

However, she now had lost everything and ended up a laughi

He thought it was all Ashley’s fault.

“Don’t be afraid, Jessica. I’ll be there for you. I won’t let anyone pick o

you. What’s more, the guests of this celebration are allowed to come with their family.”

“Ryan, you’re so considerate. I…”

She seemed moved, with tears in her eyes.

To win over the Ramos family, Jessica had been pretending to be innocent and vulnerable in front of

them since she was a child.

While they were talking, Ryan suddenly saw Miranda walking over not far away.

Miranda, as an artist, was also invited to this celebration.

“Miranda!” He immediately went over to say hello.

She wore a champagne-colored dress. When she saw him, she froze for a few seconds. Frowning

slightly, Miranda walked straight toward the banquet hall without stopping.

“Miranda.” Ryan stretched out his hand to stop her, his eyes full of sadness. “Are you not going to talk

to me anymore?”

“It’s up to you.”

She was as sad as Ryan. After all, she used to fall hard for him. However, seeing his face now tore her

heart.

If he wasn’t Ashley’s brother, she and Ryan would…

However, it was what it was.

“Miranda, I’ve been looking for you for two years. Is Ashley more important to you than I am?”

les,” she answered without hesitation.

When she first met Ashley, they were both candidates in a dance ompetition. Miranda almost fell before

going on stage. It was Ashley vho helped her.

She still remembered that not long ago, she casually said that sad her eye on an expensive dress

million dollars. She couldn’t afford to buy it, but Ashley broug dress as a gift.

Miranda wouldn’t give up the friendship between her and Ashley be of Ryan.

“Miranda…” He said with a gloomy face, “I want us to get back together. What exactly do you want me

to do?”

She took a deep breath and replied, “Unless you apologize to Ashley. I need you to promise me that

you will never wrong her and treat her badly.”

“No way!” he interrupted angrily. “Why should I apologize to her? She’s an ingrate. She had failed the

Ramos family and me. She’s the one who should apologize!”

“You…” Miranda looked pissed.

She thought Ryan was ridiculous.

Miranda couldn’t be bothered to reason with him, so she ignored him and directly walked toward the

banquet hall.

“Ryan, is she…” Jessica didn’t know what was going on in the first place.

She was curious about why Ryan would know Miranda. She pondered, ‘Doesn’t he know that Miranda

is a friend of that bitch?

‘And Ryan seems to love Miranda very much…

“You know that, Ryan? You two look perfect for each other,” she teased deliberately.

Ryan was pleased to hear that. “Well said, Jessica. You’re indeed my sweet sister. You’re right.

Miranda and I are meant to be together. I’ll marry her one day

She bit her bottom lip and looked at him with innocent eyes. “Will I get left out after you get married?

bandon me? I’m so scared.”

That’s not going to happen.” He gently patted her on the head and continued, “Jessica, you’re my only

sister. Of course, I care for you. My wife will treat you

about. You’ll always Same way as I do. You have nothing to worry

about. You’ll always be loved by both of us.”

Thank you, Ryan. I’m so grateful that I’m your sister.”

*****

Inside the banquet hall, when Ashley was chatting casually with Pullan, Miranda walked toward her.

She greeted Ashley with a sweet smile.

Generally speaking, Bryce, as one of the most popular artists, would be invited to today’s celebration.

However, he had to shoot a commercial, so he couldn’t come.

Miranda gave Ashley a hug happily.

Noticing Lester on the side, she smiled shyly, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Pliskin.”

Nodding, he answered in a less serious demeanor, “Nice to meet you too.”

Except for well-known racing drivers, there were many celebrities and artists. Therefore, the hall was

packed with reporters, who were busy taking pictures.

Some of them saw Ashley and Pullan chatting like old friends. They began to whisper.

“It’s so weird. I had a thing for motor racing before, so I knew Mr. Lawrence used to form a team with

Ava. How come Ashley knows Mr. Lawrence? I mean, they’re from two different worlds.”

“Haven’t you heard that she’s a friend of Mr. Lawrence, and she’s a racing driver?”

“Seriously? You’d gotta be kidding me!

“The racing game between her and Ryan was held in Manditus, Yaloria. Didn’t you see it on the news?

I got the video of the match. Check it out!”

Rather than a formal competition, it was more or less a private bet. Thus, there weren’t too many

details about the game on the news.

Even some big fans of racing knew nothing about it

Chapter 200

people read the news.

As soon as they heard that there was a video of the racing game, other reporters immediately gathered

around to watch it.

In the video, Ryan was in the lead at the beginning. However, Ashley passed him with a stunning and

skillful drifting. On one hand, she seemed to give Ryan opportunities to pass her. On the other hand,

Ryan wasn’t able to overtake her no matter how hard he tried.

“Unbelievable! I didn’t expect her driving skills to be so extraordinary.” A reporter widened his eyes in

astonishment. “The drifting and the oversteering are awesome! I’m going to worship her.”

“It’s thrilling! I’m starting to have a thing for motor racing.”

“Wait a minute. Her drifting…” An experienced sports reporter suddenly frowned in confusion.

That’s

wrong with this drift? It was perfect. She’s even better than a professional racing driver.”

The sports reporter explained, “I’ve studied each racing competition of Ava’s. I know better than

anyone what Ava’s racing style was like. Her drifting reminds me of Ava. No. Her drifting is as same as

Ava’s!”

“What? Are you sure?”

He replayed the video, watched it carefully, and confirmed in a deep voice, “I’m definitely sure.”

The other reporter next to him swallowed in disbelief. “In other words… Is Ashley Ava? Have we

mistaken the Racing Legend for a man?”
