Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 358

'Wait, isn't Ashley from the Ramos family? How did she get involved with the Pliskin family?' netizens wondered.

The livestream was in an uproar at Lester's words.

[Did I mishear that? Lester said Ashley was his sister?]

[You didn't. I also heard that!]

[What's going on? The Pliskin family's long-lost daughter is Ashley? So today's family reunion banquet is for Ashley?]

[Hold on a sec. Isn't Ashley the daughter of the Ramos family? And now the Pliskin family? Oh my, I'm completely confused...]

Not only netizens were astonished. Even the reporter filming the scene was stunned with his hands holding the camera and trembling as if he were a Parkinsonian patient.

Netizens immediately commented: [Please don't tremble, cameraman! I know you're shocked and excited. Hold your camera steady, please!]

The reporter filming the scene controlled his hand with effort, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and thought, 'Everyone will be shocked by such big news, okay?'

The female socialites who attended the banquet covered their mouths in surprise and glanced at Ashley and Lester repeatedly. "Lester, are you serious? Ms. Ramos is your sister?"

These socialites used to be restrained and value their public image. So they just watched silently and did not say anything when Nick picked on Ashley.

Now they were too astonished to maintain elegance, and all exclaimed in disbelief, "Lester's sister... In other words, is Ashley the daughter of the Pliskin family who has been looking for for many years?"

"My goodness, that's incredible!"

"Look, Ashley looks quite similar to Mrs. Pliskin, just like mothers and daughters!"

Everyone present was stunned by this unexpected news.

Nick stood there blankly with a pale face, looking at Ashley dumbfounded. 'The Pliskin family's daughter... It can't be true!' he thought.

At this moment, Brian, as the host, gave Nick a piercing glance, which made Nick tremble in fear.

Karen held Ashley's hand affectionately with her eyes full of love, making everyone feel touched.

She initially decided to show up with Ashley and announce Ashley was her daughter to the public.

But Bryce and Miranda came over, and Ashley had to receive her friends. So Ashley went to the banquet lawn in advance. Unexpectedly, Nick picked on her.

Karen glanced at Nick displeasedly and then looked at her husband.

Brian nodded slightly and then announced in public. "Everyone, at today's family reunion banquet, we would like to announce that Ashley is the biological daughter of our family. She has been lost for many years since she was a child. And now we finally found her!"

Brian declared Ashley's identity as his biological daughter.

Everyone present knew the truth clearly with Brian's straightforward words, Karen's affection for Ashley, and George and Lester's behaviors toward Ashley.

"Did you hear that? Mr. Pliskin personally confirmed that Ashley is his biological daughter!"

After a long while, Miranda came to her senses and grabbed Ashley's hand in surprise. "Ashley...that's so great!"

She thought, 'The Pliskin family is Ashley's real family.

'They are not as cold-blooded as the Ramos family. They will treat Ashley well and love her as a family.

'Ashley finally has a family!'

Bryce looked at Ashley and gave a hearty laugh. "Congratulations, you have found your real family."

Ashley felt warmth in her heart when she heard their words. They were happy for her to find a real family, not for her to have the wealth and power of the Pliskin family.

"Thank you." Ashley felt emotional, tears in her eyes, and her heart was brimming with happiness.

Seeing how Miranda and Bryce were getting along with Ashley, Nick suddenly realized that Ashley wanted to support them. No wonder the butler personally led them into the manor and said Ashley invited them. But he was just brought in by an ordinary waiter. He also recalled Ashley's contemptuous attitude towards him just now...

Nick had to admit that he indeed attracted Ashley's attention by having a fight with Bryce and humiliating her online a few days ago.

However, Ashley invited him to the family reunion banquet not because he was different but to deliberately embarrass him.

He had initially thought that Ashley had a crush on him.

Nick's fantasy was broken. He gritted his teeth and said in anger, "Mr. Pliskin, congratulations on finding your biological daughter. However, everyone knows that Ashley is from the Ramos family. How come she is now the missing daughter of the Pliskin family? Did someone covet the Pliskin family's property and want to deceive you?"
