Save Myself from Desperation

When Ashley introduced Valentin as her husband, the whole scene fell silent.

Joseph was surprised. He had expected Ashley to keep her relationship with Valentin a secret until she admitted it to Kevin.. Ashley finally admitted her relationship with Valentin..

Joseph was moved to tears.

He even felt the day was especially memorable for Valentin.

The information that Lester found showed Ashley and Valentin had a secret marriage. He never expected Ashley to introduce Valentin like this before her suitors.

This showed that Valentin was more important in Ashley’s heart than Kevin.

But he denied his conjecture.

Lester glanced at Kevin with pity. Actually, Kevin had no place in Ashley's heart.

As for Jaden, he only thought Ashley and Valentin were perfect together and they were made for each other. At this time, Valentin suddenly stiffened when he heard Ashley's introduction, and he only stood still blankly.

After a moment, his eyelashes trembled slowly, and he glanced at Ashley's hand holding his. Then, he raised his head and looked up at her beautiful profile.

Ashley sensed Valentin’s gaze, but she didn’t look back at him.

She guessed Kevin could get her means.

Kevin was instantly surprised and astonished, and the shock couldn’t dissipate for a while. Did Ashley introduce Valentin as her husband?

Had she already married?

Had she married Valentin, the president of the Kingsley Group?

Kevin couldn’t accept the incredible news for a while. He was even more shocked than hearing Valentin’s confession as a fan to Ashley.

No wonder Valentin purchased Ashley's bracelet just now.

But Kevin suddenly remembered something, and his lips trembled twice quickly. Then, he asked nervously, “Do you remember | called you when you were hospitalized with allergies? | heard a male voice on the phone.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

At that time, he heard a male voice on the phone, and it sounded like Ashley had a close relationship with him. Kevin now realized it was Valentin’s voice.

As if to confirm his guess, Ashley nodded and said calmly, “When | was hospitalized for allergies that day, he stayed with me all the time.”

Kevin felt his nerves tighten and then ease slowly.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kevin said bitterly, “I didn’t expect you to be married to Mr. Kingsley. | haven’t congratulated you yet.” Ashley smiled lightly, “It’s a secret marriage, so we haven't made it public.”

Kevin's mind fell into a mess at that moment, and he didn’t even know what he said. After expressing his blessings, he bid farewell, turned around, and left.

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and thought the matter should be settled.

Seeing Kevin leave, Joseph glanced at Ashley and Valentin holding hands. with a smile, and he pulled Jaden and Lester away. “Come on. Let's check. it out.”

Lester still wanted to stay there.

Although he didn’t know if he was related to Ashley, he still wanted to spend more time with Ashley.

Moreover, he intended to find a chance to get Ashley’s hair for a paternity test.

Joseph found Lester still there, so he dragged him forward. He couldn’t understand why Lester stayed there all the time. He couldn't allow anyone to disturb Ashley and Valentin alone.

Hence, Joseph pulled Jaden and Lester away together.

Ashley let go of Valentin’s hand and looked around first. She found

potted plants and flower baskets in their way, and their intimate behavior went unnoticed.

Ashley cleared her throat and said, “Well, | just had to tell Kevin about. our marriage in order to get away from him. Valentin’s brows furrowed, almost invisible. “Did you just tell the truth to reject him?”

Ashley nodded. “Yep.”

Valentin suddenly fell silent, and his throbbing heart returned to calm.

He thought Ashley was finally willing to go public with their relationship but didn’t expect it to be an excuse for her to reject Kevin. However, she rejected Kevin decisively without hesitation.

If she ever had feelings for Kevin before, she disliked him now.

Thinking of it this way, Valentin smiled slightly, feeling indescribably pleased.

Actually, he felt delighted to be Ashley's excuse for rejecting Kevin.

Ashley noticed Valentin’s silence and scratched her head strangely. “Cat got your tongue? | didn’t lie or take advantage of you. We indeed got married.”

Valentin raised his eyebrows leisurely and said casually, “Well, we indeed got married.” Ashley grinned. “But we will get divorced soon.” Valentin widened his eyes in shock.

Ashley counted on her fingers. “We'll get divorced in less than two months.”

Valentin was speechless.

Ashley’s words echoed in his ears.

Valentin was distressed and asked meaningfully, “Are you troubled by others’ pursuits?” Sia)

“Did you mention Kevin?” Ashley thought for a while and said, “Except for Kevin, it bothers me whenever someone | dislike pursues me.”

Valentin lowered his head and asked back, “Really?”

Ashley glanced at him. “Sure, you’ve had a lot of suitors since your childhood, and you might know better than | do.” Ashley suddenly recalled what had happened on the stage and said, “Why

did you say you were a fan up there?”

Valentin seemed to think about it seriously and then said, “I really

shouldn't have said that.”

Ashley replied, “But it's too late to take your words back.”

Valentin smiled, “I should just say you are my wife.”

Ashley choked on his words.

She raised her hand and wanted to hit him.

But when she raised her hand halfway, she found the others in the ballroom glancing at them with gossip. The others didn’t find it strange with Joseph, Jaden, and Lester here.

After they left, the others in the ballroom paid attention to Ashley and Valentin and gossiped about them, and they even found their relationship unusual.

Ashley immediately retracted her hand and coughed lightly. “I ha keep my distance from you now. | fear others will misunderstand relationship. I’m off now.”

Valentin was speechless. He found Ashley's words ridiculous.

After speaking, Ashley noticed Evan and Charlie walking towards her sid in a hurry before she left.
