Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 277 Upon seeing the video, Cara’s fans were instantly proven wrong and were utterly dumbfounded.

One of them wondered in disbelief, ‘Is the person in the surveillance video, who's a ridiculous liar playing innocent and framing others, really the gentle, kind, and talented Cara we know? How could she be

so...shameless?’ The other netizens were astounded by what they saw. [Cara is really not a good person! I’ve never seen someone so fake! Disgusting!!]

[Ha, this is hilarious. Just a moment ago, Cara’s fans were fiercely defending her, and the next second, they’re left utterly embarrassed!]

[I'm disgusted. Why would anyone still support such a terrible person? Fans, wake up and unfollow her! Cara should be banned from the entertainment industry!]

[Serve Charlie right to get framed by Cara! A classic case of backstabbers turning on each other!]

While netizens were passionately criticizing in the comments, they were also anxious about how the ancient painting was restored after being damaged by Cara for the second time.

As netizens continued watching the video, they grew increasingly shocked, their mouths agape in disbelief.

One of them pondered, ‘What? Ashley is the renowned Caleb’s granddaughter and is also the recently famous Rita? And Ashley single-handedly saved the day by restoring the damaged ancient painting?”

After watching the entire surveillance video, the netizens were boiling over with excitement, like a powder keg ready to explode. [Rita? Ashley is Rita Grant?? Holy cow, Ashley, you are... Ah! I’m losing my mind!]

[So, it was Ashley who restored the painting! It wasn’t about stealing credit at all, but rather cleaning up the mess and salvaging the painting damaged by Cara!]

[Wow, that medal looks so cool! | want one!]

[Guys, now I’m curious. If the Ramos family members are online they must be seeing all this news, right? Do you guys think they are now regretting that they have cut ties with Ashley?]

Then, an industry insider, who was quietly observing the spectacle, couldn’t resist commenting: [You guys might not know this, but Cara has been blacklisted! All her ads were pulled a few days ago, and her cameo. in a TV drama was also deleted. She’s been completely banned from the industry! Cara is finished and won't be making a comeback!]

[I'm glad | had the good judgment to support Ashley early on. Looks like | have chosen the right person to follow.] Meanwhile, all the thick curtains were drawn over at Cara’s apartment.

She sat at the table, looking at the tablet with envy as she read the online content about the admiration netizens had for Ashley and the criticism. -directed at herself.

Cara couldn't hold back any longer. Her facade of gentleness completely shattered, and she then pushed everything off the table with a swipe of her hand.

With a series of crashing sounds, the items shattered all over the floor.

Cara stood up and went on a rampage, smashing everything in the room that she could lay her hands on, hysterically venting her frustration, her face even distorting unsightly in her rage.

Amidst the chaos, her phone rang. It was Tyler calling. As soon as she answered, he started scolding her, “Cara! How could you be so useless!”

He pondered angrily, ‘Her image is completely ruined now! She’s becom a universally despised figure, beyond redemption! My plan for Cara to pretend to be the heiress of the Pliskin family and reconcile with them wasn’t successful. Neither was her defeating Ashley.’

With that thought, Tyler shouted over the phone, “Cara, you've disappointed me so much!”

“Mr. Morgan...” Cara looked up at the blinding light on the ceiling, her eyes stinging from the brightness, feeling as if they were being corroded by sulfuric acid.

Tyler then continued his furious tirade. Ever since the recording was Chapter 277

exposed, he knew Ashley must have started investigating Cara.

He felt like his secrets were about to be exposed... Tyler had been constantly on edge lately, plagued by an ominous. premonition. Then, over in a private room at a high-end hotel in the city center.

Henry and Paul had invited Ashley to dinner to thank her for ensuring the ancient painting was successfully displayed at the state banquet.

Ashley had just sat down when her phone buzzed with a message from Joseph. [Ashley, you’re a sensation right now! The whole Internet is talking about you!]

She was rendered speechless after reading it. Before Ashley could even reply to Joseph, messages from other friends bombarded her phone.

Miranda texted: [Ah, Ashley! So you are Rita! You have successfully restored the ancient painting. That’s incredible! How lucky am | to have such an accomplished friend like you!!]

Then Ashley clicked on Bryce’s message that read: [You’re pretty famous now, not bad. But not as famous as me though.]

Lester also had messaged: [Ashley, seeing the president of Yaloria says his wife loves Attelia’s designed gowns reminded me that my mother is also a big fan of Attelia, a loyal supporter of yours, and of course, so am |, your loyal fan.]

Afterward, Ashley saw another message, and it was from George: [Ashley, you're truly amazing. | will always be happy for your achievements.]

Unknown Number 1 sent: [Ashley, it’s me, Jeremy! | saw you on the news just now! And your photo with the president of Yaloria! You're so impressive. | feel like I’m holding you back as your brother!]

Unknown Number 2 texted: [Ashley, Matthew here! I just saw Charlie’s public apology online. Don’t bother with him. Charlie is not sincerely remorseful, but | truly am. I’m watching the news with such joy, Ashley. Don’t | look like the saying “grinning from ear to ear”?] A picture of him smiling was attached to the message.

Ashley also found another text sent by a third unknown number: [Ashley, has Cara done anything else to hurt you? Don’t worry, I'll confront her every time | see her. By the way, Ashley, this is my new number. Please don’t block me again, okay? With love, Ryan.]Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon seeing all the messages, the corner of Ashley's mouth twitched, and she decisively blocked the last three unknown numbers.

Just as she was about to put her phone down, she received a call from Jaden. Ashley then rubbed her temples and wearily answered the call.

Jaden’s excited voice came through the phone, exclaiming, “It’s crazy. The Internet is all about you right now! | just went to the supermarket, and even strangers were talking about you!”

Ashley’s ears were nearly numb from hearing similar comments, and she was about to hang up. “Is there anything else you called for besides telling me this?”

Jaden raised an eyebrow. “Of course, there is! | have important news! You weren’t thinking of hanging up on me, were you?” Caught in the act, Ashley silently stopped the action of hanging up and cleared her throat. “What's the important news?”

“It's about Jessica!” Jaden chuckled, “Great news! After some maneuvering and testing the waters, Jessica has dropped her guard and decided to sell the Ramos Group shares to the Zenith Group! This time, the Ramos. family...is in for a show!”
