Save Myself from Desperation

Evan rushed to Jessica angrily. Although his hands were cuffed, he still slapped her hard. “How dare you? You bitch!” Jessica screamed in pain. Her cheeks instantly swelled up, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth

Jessica wondered if they had heard her words just now.

Bertha rushed over and tore Jessica’s hair. In addition to her anger, she felt tremendous disappointment and hatred. Jessica actually said Bertha’s death was none of her business.

How could she utter such terrible words?

Bertha felt extremely frightened. She didn’t expect Jessica to be so cruel.

But she would never admit Jessica as her daughter.

“Mom, | didn’t mean it just now. Ashley guided me on purpose,” Jessica hurriedly explained, blaming all the faults on Ashley.

“Shut up! How dare you still lie?” Bertha’s lips trembled with anger, and she exposed Jessica on the spot. “Don’t fool us anymore. We've noticed your every move since you walked into the room. How dare you secretly sell the shares of the Ramos Group? Moreover, you even want us to go to. jail forever.”

Jessica’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she even forgot to breathe out of fear.

They actually heard everything.

Evan and Bertha even knew about her share sale.

Jessica suspected surveillance and cameras in this room.

Jessica immediately looked around, and indeed found a precise shooting instrument in the corner.

She had no idea about Ashley’s real identity in the Zenith Group, so she was not alert at all. She never expected everything would be recorded from the moment she entered this room.

Jessica clenched her hands suddenly, looked at Ashley with hatred, and shouted hysterically, “Ashley! It’s you! You arranged it!” 1/4

Jessica secretly cursed Ashley.

“PIL kill you!”

Jessica roared and wanted to rush towards Ashley, but Bertha stopped her without hesitation, and Evan slapped her in the face.

They scuffled and the scene turned chaotic. Valentin walked over with a frown, took Ashley’s hand and pulled her away, subconsciously protecting her before.

Joseph stood aside and stared at them, hoping they would fight harder. Jaden watched them with great interest.

Jessica’s hair was unkempt, her cheeks were swollen, and her clothes were covered in smudges. She looked discomfiture, unable to bear it anymore, and pushed the weak Bertha away.

Bertha fell to the ground with a thud.

She was stunned for a moment and then felt distressed. She tried to help Jessica by accusing Ashley of pushing her before. But she had been pushed over by Jessica, whom she had always defended and favored.

How ironic!

Jessica didn’t even support her. She just ignored Bertha and shouted in anger, “Evan and Bertha, how dare you hit me? Haven't you done anything wrong?

“| grew up since childhood in the Ramos family. Why did you bring Ashley home? Why could she take the fortune that belongs to me?”

Bertha couldn't believe it and even thought she heard it wrong. “What are you talking about? The fortune in the Ramos family never belongs to you. We adopted you from the orphanage, and we provide a wealthy life for you. Your fortune should be Ashley’s, always! You greedy bastard!”

“Adopted?” Jessica, no longer disguised, sneered venomously, “Drop the act. You lost your own daughter, so you put your thoughts on me to make it up.”

“But you still lived a superior life, and we have never wronged you!” Bertha retorted angrily. 2/4

“In that case, why do you still want to take Ashley back? Everything in the Ramos family should be mine! Why would she fight me?”

“How dare you?” Bertha was so stunned that she almost couldn't refute after hearing her words. She glared at Jessica angrily and added, “When Ashley came home, she always kept humble and never fought with you. Instead, you've been bullying her all the time.”

“Well, she behaved cowardice at that time.” Jessica raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking crazy.

Bertha looked at Jessica and found her strange as if she had never known her before. Bertha suspected it was the real her.

Bertha suddenly made up her mind, got up from the ground, gritted her teeth, and said, “You planned Miranda’s kidnapping before, and | will turn you in to the police.”

Hearing this, Jessica panicked instantly, and she no longer behaved arrogantly and domineeringly. She didn’t want to go to jail.

Evan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke calmly. “Forget it, Bertha. We adopted Jessica from the orphanage just to put our thoughts on her. We leave her out of the kidnapping case, and we repay her for being here for us instead of Ashley.”

Hearing this, Bertha asked in confusion, “What are you talking about. Evan? We gave Jessica the best of material life, and we owe her noth She is ungrateful, and has set Ashley up so many times. We can't le go.”

“You said it in the heat of the moment, Bertha. Calm down, please.”

“Calm down? How could | calm down? You'd trade our time in jail for Jessica’s innocence?” Bertha asked with tearful eyes. Evan couldn't utter a word to refute it.

Joseph, on the side, was dumbfounded. He had never heard such a request before. “Damn it! Knowing who Jessica is, Evan still protected he How stupid he is!”

Jaden couldn't read Evan's mind either.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He even hit Jessica in anger just now, but he felt distressed again now.

Ashley frowned slightly. According to Evan’s character, he would definitely not protect Jessica after learning what Jessica had done before.

Bertha gritted her teeth and looked at Evan. “I don’t care your mind. Anyway, | will definitely give up Jessica as the mastermind. She came up. with the idea to kidnap Miranda before, and she set it all up.”

“Bertha, you...” Before Evan finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in. When he noticed the mess in the room, he remained normal and reported to Isabela calmly, “Frankie from the Ramos Group came over and wanted to confront Jessica in person.”

Did he want to confront Jessica?

Hearing this. Isabela turned to look at Ashley, asking for her opinion. Ashley thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “Let him in.”

After a while, Frankie, Charlie, Jeremy, Ryan, and Matthew all came.

When they found Ashley and Valentin in the room, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all felt surprised.
