Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 267

The recording device?

Cara was stunned and immediately frowned.

Then, Ashley sneered with sarcasm in her smile.

"You misunderstood me, Cara. I didn't care about Charlie's trust or his opinion of me. Whoever he trusts has nothing to do with me."

She used to long for family affection from the Ramos family, and she also wanted to gain her family's trust.

But she didn't care about it at all.

Hence, Charlie's trust meant nothing to her, and it couldn't cause any emotional fluctuations in her.

Cara tried to distress her with it, but she failed.

Hearing Ashley's words, Cara bit her lips suddenly. She thought she could break Ashley's psychological defense line and make her upset about Charlie's indifference.

But she guessed Ashley didn't record her words with the recording device, and Ashley just bluffed her.

Ashley read Cara's mind and raised her eyebrows faintly. "I didn't record it with a recorder."

Cara remained calm and breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

However, no sooner had Cara felt relieved than Ashley teasingly added, "But I had Joseph take Charlie here, and they were hiding around the corner in the hallway."

When she finished speaking, Cara suddenly clenched her fists. "How dare you?"

Ashley enjoyed Cara's stiff expression with great interest. "I don't care about Charlie's trust in me, but it would be fun if I blew your cover in front of him. I'm looking forward to his reaction after hearing your words."

As Ashley finished speaking, Joseph couldn't wait to push Charlie out of the corner of the corridor and said with joy, "You finally got caught!"

He thought Cara deserved it.

Ashley had predicted it and had him hide in the hallway corner with Charlie to eavesdrop.

Charlie looked at Cara with disbelief.

Cara didn't expect Ashley to plan it. She froze, clenched her hands hanging by her sides into fists, and almost had the nails embedded in her palm hard.

She called Ashley's name secretly.

Ashley looked at the furious Cara and said indifferently, "Cara, I don't know you, and have nothing to do with you but you asked someone to lock me in the toilet, trying to teach me a lesson. What a pity! I hold a grudge."

Since Cara pretended to be innocent, Ashley must expose her.

After Ashley finished speaking, she left here with Joseph.

Looking at Ashley's leaving figure, Cara gritted her teeth in anger.

Valentin, Lester, and George told her a lesson just now. Her anger blinded her, and she didn't notice someone eavesdropping around the corner.

Now Charlie had heard her words all.

"Cara, you," Charlie looked at Cara blankly and added, "why did you just say that?"

Cara just showed off his trust in her to Ashley, which made Charlie feel strange.

This was not the gentle Cara he had known before.

Moreover, Cara's swagger proved the recording, which was posted online a few days ago, was genuine.

At this time, Noah from StarGavel Auctions came over and said, "I kept busy just now and couldn't entertain you. I'm so sorry, Ms. Ramos and Mr. Fox."

"We've been here so many times that we're familiar with the surroundings, so you'd better leave us alone," Joseph smiled, "You've been busy all the time today. Did you sell any merchandise?"

Noah grinned and flattered Joseph.

"Many lots went for a lot today. But there was a valuable piece of porcelain that had been smashed, which could be treated as a family heirloom. What a pity!

"We purchased the porcelain from the seller at a high price and glued the broken piece together. But the crack destroyed the overall perfection of the porcelain, and we couldn't put it up for auction."

Hearing this, Joseph felt distressed, too. "There's nothing we can do about it. Porcelain is inherently fragile."

Ashley smiled, "Is there a crack after gluing it on?"

Noah replied with pity, "That's right. The crack is quite conspicuous."

Ashley thought for a while and said, "Have someone polish the cracked area and apply some lead to it. But you need to control the amount of lead. Finally, after polishing with wax once more, the cracks can be perfectly covered, and the original shape of the porcelain can be restored."

Hearing this, Noah was stunned, and then he was pleasantly surprised. "Really, Ms. Ramos?"

"Did you tell the truth, Ms. Ramos?"

In addition to Noah, another mature voice sounded from behind.

Ashley turned around and found Paul from the National Museum.

After Ashley helped catch the peddler last time, Paul personally came to StarGavel Auctions to thank Ashley, and Rita's name became popular.

Paul stepped forward excitedly. "Is the porcelain repair technique you just mentioned genuine, Ms. Ramos?"
