Save Myself from Desperation

Bryce, wearing a visibly annoyed expression, shot back. “Why do you care?”

Miranda didn’t warm up to Nick either, especially since he had badmouthed Ashley behind her back, which bothered her upon seeing him.

Nick grinned and chimed in with an air of generosity, “Bryce, | won’t bother you about the last time you smacked me. | just wanted to give you a heads-up. Today is the Pliskin family’s big homecoming party. Even if you’re all dressed up, no invite means no entry.”

Following Nick’s words, as if unveiling a royal approval, he delicately produced the invitation to the recognition event from his pocket, showing it off proudly.

Both Bryce and Miranda were speechless. ‘He acts just like a fool,’ they thought.

In the live stream, Nick’s fans had just finished bashing Miranda and Bryce, claiming that the two had no business attending the recognition gala. In the next moment, Bryce and Miranda stepped out of the car together, leaving everyone utterly stunned.

Upon catching wind of Nick and Bryce’s chat, Nick’s fans began echoing Nick’s sentiments.

[Oh, Nick is such a good man. Even reminding Bryce and all.]

[Well, Bryce came just to peep at Nick’s invite. Probably here for a quick pic at the entrance to grab some attention.] [Oh, you hit the nail on the head.]

As Nick, Bryce, and Miranda chatted, a waiter approached, asking, “What can | do for you?”

Nick grinned. “Not much. | am just talking with these two who didn’t snag invites.”

‘They have no invites?’ The waiter was puzzled but then seriously corrected. “Sorry, you're mistaken. These VIPs are personally invited by Ms. Pliskin. Why worry about just invites?”

With that, Nick’s smile froze. ‘What? Ms. Pliskin personally invites them?’ he wondered.

At that moment, a butler-like guy in a tailcoat strolled over, smiling and gesturing to Bryce and Miranda. “Follow me, please. I'll guide you in.”

As he witnessed this, Nick’s expression became even more tense.

‘The Pliskin family’s butler is personally guiding Bryce and Miranda? Earlier, those rich guys and gals were led in by regular waiters.

‘Now, Bryce and Miranda are escorted by the head butler? And the butler looks as regal as they come...’ Nick thought. The livestream fell into an odd silence.

Nick’s fans had been dissing Bryce for days, and Bryce’s fans were furious. Now, seeing this scene, Bryce’s fans straightened up and burst into laughter.

(Who said Bryce isn’t fit for the Pliskin family’s recognition bash? Check this out!] Highlight that Ms. Pliskin personally invited him.]

That's right. Nick parading the invite, then the waiter says, “Bryce was personally invited by Ms. Pliskin.” Who cares about an invitation? He’s so embarrassed, isn’t he?]

Realizing what was going on, onlookers online were also amazed.

Damn, Ms. Pliskin personally invited Bryce and Miranda. And her butler is personally guiding them. The treatment, the grandeur... they're definitely top-tier guests.]

(Wow, does Bryce and Miranda befriend Ms. Pliskin?]

| don’t know if they know Ms. Pliskin, but their status is certainly more prestigious than Nick’s.] Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Nick’s fans were utterly confused, their eyes fixed on the livestream. ‘Would Ashley be also invited? No, that couldn’t be...’ they thought.

[I can’t believe even a brawler like Bryce got an invite. Is Ms. Pliskin deceived?]

[No way, I think Ms. Pliskin has a good eye for people. Inviting Miranda but not Ashley clearly shows she doesn’t fancy Ashley much.]

[So, when Nick said Ashley inherited Evan’s personality, he isn’t wrong. Ms. Pliskin’s views align with Nick.]

Nick’s fans once again directed their criticism towards Ashley.

Other viewers in the livestream felt puzzled.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

In terms of popularity, there was no star more famous than Ashley.

‘Why invite Bryce and Miranda but not Ashley?’ they wondered.

All the guests for the recognition banquet had already entered. The journalists’ cameras shifted from the mansion’s entrance to its interior.

Nick’s fans searched for Nick’s figure in the livestream while simultaneously bashing Ashley in the barrage. However, in the next second, something unbelievable happened.

Standing next to a cluster of flowers, chatting with Bryce and Miranda was a woman. That was Ashley. ‘How could that be?’ Nick’s fans thought and were left dumbfounded.

‘When did she go in?’ they wondered. They had been specifically watching the entrance of the guests from start to finish and hadn't seen Ashley enter through the door
