Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 183

"Ashley?"

Joseph picked up the mobile phone on the ground and looked around the room but couldn't find Ashley.

He thought, 'Has she gone out? No, if she goes out, she won't drop her phone on the ground or close the door.'

With this in mind, Joseph's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could something really happen to Ashley this time?

Ashley had been separated from the group by the crowd yesterday, but fortunately, she met George on the roadside.

Joseph's expression became stern. He immediately turned around and ran to Lester and George's rooms to see if Ashley had gone to find them.

George sat on the sofa in Lester's room with the paternity test report in his hand. He stared grimly at the results on the last page.

"Are you also surprised, George?"

Lester sighed.

The first time he met Ashley, he felt an inexplicable affinity for her, and Ashley was as old as his lost sister.

In addition, Ashley's facial features were also similar to those of Lester's mother when she was young.

These signs made Lester believe that Ashley was probably the biological sister he had been looking for.

But the results let him down.

He had the wrong person once again.

Ashley had no blood relationship with the Pliskin family.

Lester thought the fact was unexpected and unacceptable, but the result was unmistakable. Ashley was really not his sister.

He didn't know how much his biological sister had suffered while living alone. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and should have lived a happy and carefree life and been loved by all her family...

Lester sighed again. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

"What are you thinking about, George?"

George stared at the paternity test report in his hand with incomprehensible emotions in his cold eyes. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lester went to open the door and saw Joseph.

"Has Ashley come to see you?" Joseph asked anxiously, getting straight to the point.

"No. what happened?" Lester asked.

"It's over. Something might really happen to Ashley this time." Joseph was sweating profusely with Ashley's mobile phone in his hand. "I went to look for her just now. The door of her room was open, and her mobile phone was on the ground, but she was not in the room."

Lester's expression instantly became stern upon hearing this.

George heard their conversation and strode over. His voice was cold. "The door is open? Go to the hotel management to check the surveillance footage."

Joseph nodded and went to the rooms of Jaden, Bryce, and Miranda, but Ashley was not there.

"Ashley is missing?" Miranda was anxious and ran out in slippers.

"Has anyone come to Ashley?" Bryce asked. His eyes were full of worries.

Upon hearing this, Jaden thought of something and frowned. Could it be...that man...

"Check the hotel surveillance footage first." Joseph's palms were sweaty. He ran to the hotel receptionist and asked to check the surveillance footage of the corridor.

Generally, in five-star hotels, there were surveillance cameras in the corridors.

The door to Ashley's room was open, but no one was there. If someone had come to see her, that person must have appeared in the corridor. Joseph would know who it was as long as he checked the surveillance footage.

Joseph explained his intention to the receptionist.

Although he was scared, in this situation, he had to tell Valentin about this as soon as possible.

Joseph tremblingly took out his cell phone and called Valentin.

The call was answered quickly.

Joseph swallowed, a chill running through his body. "Ashley and I had booked a flight to return to Zyrrinthia tomorrow, but tonight she suddenly...suddenly disappeared..."

After Joseph finished speaking, there was a dead silence on the other end of the call, which exuded an intimidating, cold, and vicious feeling.

"What do you mean missing?" Valentin's voice was chill.

"It..." Joseph wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Then, he told Valentin what happened in detail. He had found that the door of Ashley's room was open, and no one was in the room when he went to her. In addition, the surveillance cameras in the hotel were broken.

"Valentin, we now guess that someone has come to Ashley."

Joseph's face puckered. That person was so cunning and deliberately broke the surveillance cameras. No one could find out who it was.

Valentin squinted. His eyes were ice-cold, and his handsome face was expressionless. "I know who it is."

"Ah?" Joseph was stunned, and his eyes widened in surprise. "You know it? What do you mean? Who is it?"

"I have five minutes to arrive at the hotel."

"What?" Joseph was shocked. "Valentin, you have come to Manditus and are almost at the hotel where we stay?"

Why did Valentin come over suddenly?

He didn't tell everyone about this.

Did he come here specifically to give Ashley a surprise?

After knowing Valentin came, Joseph seemed to have a rock and was no longer so worried.
