Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 125

The netizens were utterly shocked by Jessica's shamelessness: [You still trying to argue with this? Joseph just slapped the evidence right in your face! You're doomed now!]

Upon seeing this comment, Jessica frowned in confusion, 'Joseph?'

She immediately checked the video posted by Joseph.

With each second of the video, the color drained from Jessica's face, her face turned ghostly pale, and her fingers began to tremble.

'How could this be... How did Joseph manage to capture this!'

At this moment, more and more netizens who saw the video were utterly shocked.

[Damn, this video is crystal clear, Jessica deliberately knocked over that water bottle!]

[Seriously, Jessica just denied it earlier. I've seen shameless person, but never on this level!]

[Ashley was representing designers from Zyrrinthia in a competition against foreign designers. Jessica preferred to see her country lose and face the scorn of foreigners rather than see Ashley win. What kind of person does that?]

The netizens kept hashtagging Jessica and said: [You're a disgrace! A traitor! How can you be so selfish?]

[Just a few days ago, I saw your amazing designs and thought you had real talent. I was starting to think better of you. Now, heh. There's not a single good person in the Ramos family!]

Recently, Jessica's reputation had improved due to her design talents.

But today, it all came crashing down, igniting even more fury among netizens.

Jessica looked at the accusations and insults online, gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white, her face contorted with rage, and her eyes filled with hatred.

Jessica didn't think she did anything wrong. She just didn't want to be outshone by Ashley.

If anything was wrong, she believed it was all Ashley's fault.

Jessica was biting her lip so hard that it turned pale, her face looking shockingly fierce.

"Jessica, what are you doing standing here with your phone?" Frankie came over and asked.

Jessica snapped back to reality, forced an awkward smile, and then put on a pitiful look. "Frankie, people online are blaming me for Ashley..."

She knew she couldn't hide the incident of knocking over the water bottle that had blown up online, so she better come clean to Frankie.

Frankie's face darkened. He wouldn't let anyone insult the Ramos family's sweet princess.

Frankie checked the internet on his phone, and his eyes widened in shock. 'The water bottle incident was actually Jessica's doing...

'Even after her designs were sabotaged, Ashley still managed to outshine Eric.

'How exceptional is Ashley's design talent?'

Lost in thought, Frankie looked up and saw the retreating figures of Ashley, Joseph, and Jaden. They were leaving the conference room.

Frankie couldn't help but think that if Ashley were appointed as the lead designer for the Ramos Group's fashion brand, she would surely outperform Jessica and revive the Ramos family more swiftly...

Jessica bit her lower lip and watched Frankie's expression with tears in her eyes.

She wondered what Frankie thought about the incident and whether he would blame her for deliberately knocking over the water bottle.

Imagining several possible reactions, Jessica was caught off guard when Frankie suddenly started chasing after Ashley in the distance instead of talking to her.

"Frankie?"

Jessica felt her heart tightened and hurriedly followed after him.

Ashley was leaving the venue while listening to Joseph talking about what was going on online. They had just walked to the exit when suddenly someone blocked her path. Looking up, she saw Frankie.

"Frankie, if you have some problem in your head, go to the hospital. Don't have a fit here."

"Ashley!" Frankie immediately tightened, glaring at her with a cold intensity.

Ashley raised her hand, regretfully touching her temple. "I've forgotten, sorry. I thought you're a decent man again."

Frankie's face turned ashen. But the next second, he heard Ashley say.

"The Ramos family is stinking. You might like wallowing in there, but I certainly don't.

"Frankie, I'll say this one last time. I have completely cut ties with the Ramos family and will never return in this lifetime. As for you, stop calling yourself as my brother. It's disgusting!"

Each word dropped coldly and sharply, causing Frankie to clench his fists tightly.

It wasn't until Ashley had left that Frankie stiffly turned around, his gaze following Ashley's retreating figure. The coldness in his eyes was so intense.

Ashley used to respect him above all others.

Frankie couldn't believe Ashley had just uttered such final and insulting words to him.

He had given Ashley a chance to return to the Ramos family, but Ashley refused.

The Ramos family's fashion brand didn't necessarily need Ashley to save it. There was still Attelia.

When Frankie thought of Attelia, his anger subsided a bit. He would see Attelia at tomorrow's dinner, after all.

Earlier on stage, when Jaden announced Attelia's attendance at tomorrow's dinner, he smiled at Frankie. 'Did that mean Attelia's showing up tomorrow was specifically for the Ramos family?' he wondered.

The mere thought filled Frankie with an overwhelming joy.

Tomorrow, he was certain he could persuade Attelia to join them.
