Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 56

Ashley was speechless and glanced at Matthew lightly. “Why do I have to say hello to a dog?”

Despite being shorter than Matthew as she sat there, there was an air of disdain and self–assurance

emanating from her when she looked at the standing Matthew.

Matthew didn’t know how to retort. He glared at Ashley as if he wanted to kill her.

He thought, ‘Ashley is indeed sharp–tongued. No wonder Jessica has always suffered in front of her

recently.”

Ashley finished speaking, and the huge lounge suddenly became quiet.

She compared Matthew to a dog….

Matthew was a top and famous male singer. Not to mention that he was her biological brother, but

because of his popularity and reputation in showbiz, everyone had to respect him.

Ashley was the first to call Matthew a dog in public.

There was a dead silence in the lounge.

Bryce burst into laughter, which was loud and blatantly arrogant, and his shoulders were shaking while

laughing.

Others were wary of Matthew’s reputation and background, but Bryce was not

In addition, he had long disliked Matthew, and Ashley’s words pleased him for no reason.

Shirley was stunned for a few seconds and immediately stood up, flatteringly giving the seat next to her

to Matthew. “Matthew, there is a seat here. You can sit here.”

Matthew glared at Ashley walked toward Shirley, and started chatting with her.

His attitude toward Shirley was enthusiastic and utterly different from that toward Ashley just now as if

Shirley was his sister.

After a while, the staff came over to notify them that the variety show was about to start recording-

It was an outdoor livestream variety show.

As soon as the livestream opened, fans immediately sent countless comments, especially the fans of

Bryce and Matthew.

Their fans praised them excitedly.

After all, Bryce and Matthew were the most popular and had a great number of fans in this variety

show.

The next was Shirley. Her fans were active and also sent many comments.

In contrast, newly debuted artists like Ashley and Miranda had fewer fans. Only several comments

about them appeared on the screen.

In addition to everyone’s fans, some netizens were just interested in gossiping about these guests.

[I heard Ashley and Matthew participated in a variety show together, so I’m here!]

[Me too! It is undeniable that Ashley is beautiful. She is stunning!]

The director team was scheming. After the six guests appeared, they arranged for Ashley and Matthew

to stand together.

However, Ashley didn’t cooperate with their arrangement. She simply walked away, feeling annoyed

even being close to Matthew for a second.

Her behavior dumbfounded the audience in the livestream.

[Oh, shit! It’s so exciting from the beginning!]

[Ashley doesn’t even want to pretend to be friendly in front of the camera. She made no attempt to

disguise her dislike for Matthew!]

[Matthew is a famous star and has more than 80 million fans. I guess he has never been treated in

disgust by others…]

The director team kept an eye on the popularity of the livestream. As soon as this segment was

broadcast, the number of viewers in the livestream skyrocketed.

Great. They invited the right guests for this variety show,

Ashley was indeed a focus of topics.

Then, the director team started the warm–up session and led the six guests to an outdoor racecourse.

“Everyone, let’s have a warm–up. You will compete in horse riding, and the winner will get a reward.”

Ashley was surprised when she heard about riding a horse.

A few days ago, Valentin said he would take her to the racecourse, but she reluctantly refused because

she didn’t want to be reminded of the forced kiss.

She didn’t expect that there would be a horse riding segment in this variety show. She would have fun

today.

The director asked the guests to go to the stables to choose horses.

Ashley’s gaze fell on a white horse at a glance. It was all white, gorgeous, and elegant, looking like a

noble prince among horses.

Bryce chose a purebred horse. This kind of horse ran fast and was suitable for participating in

competitive competitions.

Matthew chose a brown horse. It was high, good at jumping obstacles, and very popular in

competitions.

Seeing Ashley’s white horse, Bryce glanced at her several times. Thinking of Laura’s orders, he

couldn’t help but say, “Ashley, the horse you chose is beautiful, but it’s mettled. Can you ride it?”

Miranda also reminded, “Ashley, why don’t you change it to a docile one?”

Ashley raised her eyes slightly. “There is no need to bother. I can ride it.”

This horse was not mettled. Instead, she thought it was very tame.

Compared with the mettled horse she had tamed when she was a child, this horse was much docile.

Moreover, she liked white horses.

Matthew squinted at Ashley. He initially didn’t want to make her look bad on the show, but she had

called him a dog and made no secret of her dislike for him in front of the camera.

He thought of Jessica’s recent grievances, then sneered, “She knows nothing about horse racing

except for choosing something good–looking.”

Shirley echoed Matthew and said contemptuously, “Ashley, it’s understandable that you like good–

looking horses. But this is a competition, and you can’t just care about the horse’s appearance.”

Hayes glanced at everyone and did not speak unadvisedly.

Ashley glanced at Matthew indifferendy. “Hun, you said I knew nothing about horse racing and was

inferior to you. Do you think you will be the winner?”

Chapter 36

Matthew was stunned and glanced at the other guests. “I didn’t say that!”

Ashley smiled mockingly. Then what are you barking?

Bryce was stunned. Ashley didn’t need his help at all. She could deal with Matthew alone.

Miranda anxiously pulled Ashley’s sleeve.

Ashley shook her head at her soothingly, indicating that she was okay.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t retort like this.

But the opponent was Matthew, a member of the Ramos family,

Ashley would never tolerate the Ramos family and let anyone in the Ramos family bully her.

Matthew’s fans saw their idol being retorted like this and immediately sent comments to scold Ashley.

[Fuck off! Ashley, you are just a newcomer. How dare you be so arrogant!]

[Matthew is your brother and also your senior in showbiz. You must respect him. You shameless bitch!]

[You are a layman who knows nothing about horse racing. Matthew kindly reminded. you, but you

dared retort him. I curse you for falling off the horse soon.]

[I’m speechless. Ashley, you don’t know how to ride a horse or horse riding. I hope you will fall off the

horse and die!]

There were countless comments on the screen for a while. Matthew’s fans were scolding Ashley.

Amid the chaos, the horse racing began.

A judge swung a flag.

The six guests rode on their horses, and the first to reach the end would win.

Matthew stared at Ashley and saw her mounting the white horse. The white horse was indeed mettled.

It raised its two front hooves, roared, and raised its neck, trying to throw down the one on its back.

Matthew saw this and smiled proudly.

He had said that the white horse was mettled. Ashley didn’t know much about horse racing and chose

a good–looking horse.

Ashley would be thrown down.

Even if she were injured after falling, Matthew would not feel distressed for her.
