Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 335

Herculy Restaurant, one of the most famous restaurants in Kilos City, a property of the Kingsley Group, was built right next to the river, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire river and the cruise ships traveling on the river.

In the third-floor box, the Pliskin family had arrived before ten o'clock in the morning.

The closer it got to the appointment, the more nervous Karen became, smoothing her hair every now and then. She straightened her collar again and looked at Brian anxiously. "Help me. Is there something wrong with me like this?"

Brian would never palter with Karen, no matter the big or small issues.

After scrutinizing her carefully, he raised his hand to straighten Karen's collar and smiled, "No problem. Ashley will definitely like you when she sees you."

Karen felt relieved after hearing this.

She didn't know yet if Ashley was her real daughter who had been lost as a child, but just seeing Ashley's face in a picture made her love Ashley.

Even if Ashley wasn't her real daughter, she hoped she could leave a good impression on Ashley at this meeting.

So from last night to now, Karen was so nervous and excited that she didn't even sleep well.

Brian took her hand and reassured her, "Take it easy and relax."

He implied that he was pretty calm.

Karen glanced at him. "You say that like you're not nervous. Who was the one who stayed up all night with me last night and couldn't sleep?"

Brian fell silent.

Looking at his two sons beside him, Brian found George was fine. His expression was indifferent, as usual. But Lester held back a laugh, and Brian looked at him and thought he was annoying.

So Brian, who had been poked in public and didn't dare say anything to his wife, turned his head and threw his anger at Lester. "Lester, what are you still sitting here for? Go see if Ashley's here yet."

Lester was speechless.

He thought, 'Yes, that's how low my familial status is at home.'

Lester got up and headed out of the box.

The accompanying bodyguards and assistants were all standing guard outside the box, along with Tyler, the personal physician of the Pliskin family.

Tyler looked calm and thought, 'If nothing unexpected, Cara has gotten someone to tie Ashley up. So, Ashley couldn't come to today's meeting anyway.'

Smiling triumphantly, Tyler thought, 'Ashley wants to claim kinship with the Pliskin family? No way!'

Seeing Lester come out of the box, Tyler hurriedly put away his smile and stepped forward to ask, "Mr. Pliskin, it's almost ten o'clock. Ms. Ramos still hasn't arrived. Is she not coming?"

Lester was tall, a head taller than Tyler. He looked down at Tyler nonchalantly. "How do you know Ashley isn't coming?"

Tyler raised a hand to hold his glasses and said politely, as usual, "I just saw that it was almost time for the appointment, and Ms. Ramos still hadn't come over, so I guessed that she might be delayed by something."

Lester looked at him and smiled, "It's not even ten o'clock. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Okay."

"By the way, Mr. Morgan, please do another DNA test on Ashley and the Pliskin family today."

Tyler was slightly taken aback at his words. "Do another one?"

Lester asked back, "Isn't it okay?"

Tyler feigned confusion and said, "You've already done two DNA tests with Ms. Ramos that showed no blood relationship, which means she's not your sister or the daughter that the Pliskin family is looking for. Why do you need to do it again?"

Lester had a lot of emotions welling up in his eyes as he watched Tyler, looking so devoted to thinking of the Pliskin family.

Angrily taking out his cell phone, Tyler wanted to call Cara to ask for specifics.

But it suddenly occurred to him that if he called, it would expose his relationship with Cara.

At that moment, George and Lester came striding out of the box, and Tyler hastily put his phone away upon seeing them.

He thought, 'Since Ashley is already here, it means that Cara has been exposed for carrying out the kidnapping. I'd better not call Cara then, so as not to expose myself.'

At this moment, in the lobby of the first floor of the Herculy Restaurant, the manager had long been waiting at the door with a group of people.

Herculy Restaurant was the property of the Kingsley Group. Now that Valentin had come over in person, they dared not show any slack.

An understated, luxurious black car pulled up to the door.

The attendants on either side of the car immediately and respectfully stepped forward to pull open the doors.

Seeing the men coming out of the car, the manager smiled, "Mr. Kingsley, Ms. Ramos, Mr. Fox, please come inside!"

The crowd had just walked into the first-floor lobby when they saw George and Lester coming down from the upstairs box, along with Tyler following behind.

Ashley hadn't paid much attention to Tyler before, so she glanced at him unobtrusively but quickly withdrew her gaze.

From the first moment he saw Ashley, Tyler scanned back and forth over her, only to see that she looked normal as if nothing unexpected had happened.

Tyler was furious and thought, 'Cara is so stupid. She can't even kidnap someone. But it's okay. Things aren't as bad as they could be.'

Seeing Ashley look no different when she saw him earlier, Tyler believed he hadn't been exposed despite the failed kidnapping.

He thought, 'That means Ashley and Valentin still don't have any doubts about me. Then I can continue to fake the DNA test today...'
