Save Myself from Desperation

The variety show Great Surprise would be recorded in the suburbs.

Laura accompanied Ashley there. If anything happened, as her agent, she could help solve it in time. After all, the program team also invited Matthew and Ashley. Anyone could read its intent.

Ashley had publicly severed ties with the Ramos family. The ratings would not be low if she appeared in the same picture as Matthew. Viewers wanted nothing more than to see family members turn against each other.

Laura and Ashley arrived at the recording scene. The staff of the program team led them into the guest lounge. There was already a person in the lounge. Ashley looked up and recognized Bryce at a glance.

He sat casually on a chair and swiped his mobile phone with his head lowered, His brown hair was slightly messy, with a strand of silver hair on his forehead, making him look unrestrained and handsome.

“Bryce,” Laura called him.

Bryce looked up upon hearing this. He was handsome and had a bit of unconcealed unruliness.

He glanced at Laura and then at Ashley, who was standing aside.

Ashley looked at him calmly.

Laura introduced, “Bryce, this is the Ashley | told you before. She will be on the variety show with you today. Take care of her.” Bryce groaned, put his phone back into his pocket, and stood up with a lukewarm attitude.

Laura saw his indifference and shook her head helplessly.

Bryce was not a bad guy. He was just a bit unruly.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He had many fans, and they liked his unruly style.

Laura sternly reminded, “Bryce, be aware of your attitude.”

Bryce put his hands in his pockets with an indifferent look. “What’s wrong with my attitude? Should | take off my clothes and do a pole dance for her to show my passion?”

Laura frowned and was about to scold him when Ashley on the side said calmly, “It sounds good. So please go ahead.” Bryce heard this and glared at her.

He thought Are you kidding? How dare you take it seriously!

Laura was stunned.

Damn it

Her two celebrities were both difficult to manage.

But that was good. After all, Ashley wouldn't be bullied anymore.

Laura glanced at her wristwatch. “The recording will start in half an hour. You can chat and get familiar with each other. I'll go and see the director.”

Laura was a well-known agent in showbiz and was an old acquaintance with some directors and screenwriters. 1/3

She left. Only Ashley and Bryce were left in the lounge.

Bryce was in his twenties, and he was tall and handsome. He looked at Ashley unabashedly and said. surly. “Listen, even though Laura has asked me to take care of you, | won't do it.”

Ashley raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not care about his warning. “You're overthinking. | don’t need your care.”

Bryce glared at her and snorted coldly. He sat back on the chair, deliberately making a loud noise. He was like an awkward child. Ashley ignored him. She walked to the seat furthest from him and sat down.

Bryce frowned and glanced at her.

He knew Ashley and had seen her photos online a few days ago. But today, he saw her in person and found her even more stunning than in the photos.

But why did he need to take care of her? Even though Bryce came from a wealthy family, he had never relied on his family. He had made it all by himself.

His father had forced him to give up his career in showbiz and go home to inherit the family property several times. But he relied on his abilities to establish a foothold in the showbiz and became a famous star.

Bryce’s motto was “Be famous or give up.

He wouldn’t take care of newcomers casually.

A few minutes later, two more guests came over.

The male was Hayes Brown, who was in his thirties. He was a capable actor with good acting skills but an average reputation. The female was Shirley Potter and was in her twenties. She debuted in a girl group and had

and had many fans. Besides, her fans were active and aggressive, so few people dared to provoke her.

As soon as Shirley entered the lounge, she noticed Ashley sitting quietly.

Ashley had an eye-catching appearance. She didn’t wear makeup today, but her face was stunning. Even if she was makeup— free, she could attract everyone’s attention.

Shirley stared at Ashley but did not greet her. Instead, she walked toward Bryce with a sweet smile. “Hello, Mr. Sinclair.” The most famous person among them was Bryce. Of course, she chose to say hello to Bryce first.

In showbiz, it was expected to praise superiors and belittle inferiors. The popular people were always the flattering targets. However, Bryce only responded lightly with a distant attitude.

Shirley met with setbacks and smiled awkwardly. She had long heard that Bryce was unruly and indifferent. She saw him today and knew that the rumors were true.

Hayes smiled and came out to smooth things over. “Hello, Bryce. Shirley, take a seat over here. There is a space here.” He gave Shirley an out, and Shirley reacted quickly.

Hayes looked at Ashley next to him and smiled, “Are you Ashley? I’ve read about you online before. It is the first time we have met. Hello.”

Ashley smiled slightly, “Hello.” 2/3

She had just finished speaking, and the lounge door opened from the outside. Miranda looked inside and walked into the lounge.

Miranda saw Ashley and smiled. She ran toward her excitedly. “Ashley, long time no see!” Ashley stood up in surprise. “Miranda.” They hadn't seen each other since the dance competition and didn’t expect to see each other in this variety show.

Miranda hugged Ashley happily and whispered, “I signed a contract with an entertainment company a few days ago. My agent arranged this variety show for me. | didn’t expect to meet you here. What a coincidence! Ashley, I’m so happy.”

Ashley hugged Miranda with a bright smile. “I’m happy, too. | haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Miranda then greeted several other guests in the lounge and sat beside Ashley.

While everyone was chatting, the door opened again, and the last guest walked in.

It was Matthew. He wore sunglasses.

Matthew came in and stared at Ashley.

He wished that he had never had this biological sister, and he even cursed that Ashley had died as soon as she was born. Jessica was almost kicked out of the Ramos Villa by Jeremy because of Ashley.

Matthew took off his sunglasses bitterly and glared at Ashley with cold eyes, revealing undisguised disgust.

Hayes couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

There were rumors on the Internet that Ashley had a bad

that the relationship between Ashley and Matthew was elationship with the Ramos family. Later,

Matthew was Ashley's brother, but he stared at her in disdain when he saw her.

Bryce didn’t like Matthew and rolled his eyes at him. Matthew wore sunglasses indoors and pretended to be cool. Miranda held Ashley’s arm worriedly.

Ashley patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
