Save Myself from Desperation

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 | 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.

He thought, ‘If Valentin didn’t remind me, | really wouldn’t have seen. what was wrong with Tyler.

Lester smiled meaningfully and sighed deliberately, “Mr. Morgan, even though we’ve already had two identifications with Ashley, my parents just love Ashley so much and always felt a connection to her. They want Ashley to be their daughter so much that they want to take the opportunity of this meeting to do another DNA test.”

Tyler's fists clenched slightly after hearing that. But Lester’s words made sense. He couldn’t argue with it and just. responded, “Okay, | got it, Mr. Pliskin.” Lester glanced meaningfully at him without another word and turned back to the box.

Once Lester left, Tyler turned serious. But he wasn’t worried because he believed Ashley couldn’t attend today’s meeting anyway.

He hadn't contacted Cara since the last time Cara had been disgraced so as not to be implicated because many people were watching Cara and trying to investigate her.

Not to mention Ashley and Valentin, even Lester and George might be secretly investigating Cara.

This time, Tyler informed Cara about the meeting between the Pliskin family and Ashley through a hidden way, like expressing, and asked Cara to find someone to kidnap Ashley and stop Ashley from meeting with the Pliskin family.

According to the plan, Tyler believed Ashley was now kidnapped and could never come over to meet with the Pliskin family. Tyler thought, ‘So don’t even think about making a DNA test this time.”

Thinking so, Tyler gradually eased up.

He glanced at the time in a good mood. It wasn’t long until ten o’clock. He thought, ‘Heh, Ashley’s not here yet...

Just then, Lester’s assistant came stomping up the stairs. “Quick, tell Mr. Lester Pliskin that Ms. Ramos is coming! She comes with Mr. Kingsley. They’re already downstairs.”

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