Chapter 890


    Ashlynn could not fight and simply let him do as he pleased.


    Losing control of her body, she followed Corentin from the car to their room. By the time she woke up


    the next morning, she woke up to the memories of what happened the night before and felt ashamed,


    but she did not regret drinking or going to the bar. Had she not gone, she would, have never realized


    that Paul and the others were there.


    “Woof!”


    She turned around and saw her dog curling into a ball on the carpet, its tail wiggling cheerfully when it


    met her eyes.


    “I will pick you upter.” She needed to clean up.


    In the afternoon, she had nothing to do and took her dog for a walk.


    To her surprise, she ran into Meredith in front of a luxury brand boutique.


    Meredith seemed surprised to see her as well, as she had merelye out to shop with her friends.

    “Are you here to shop for clothes as well?” Meredith scanned Ashlynn up and down, noticing all the


    luxury brands on her body, the shoes Ashlynn was wearing were limited editions and there were only a


    few pairs for sales all around the world.


    However, ording to Meredith’s research, Ashlynn was born and raised in a slum and could not


    possibly afford all these, so it was only natural to assume that Corentin was the one who bought


    everything for her.


    “No. I just happen to be in the area,” Ashlynn said.


    “Hey, who’s this? Meredith, I’ve never seen this friend of yours. Are you going to introduce us?”


    Meredith’s friend instantly noticed Ashlynn’s elegant demeanor and expensive outfit.


    “She’s just a new friend, so I didn’t think I needed to introduce her. We have a gathering tonight, so why


    don’t you join us, Ashlynn?” Meredith said.


    “Yeah. It’s Meredith’s birthday. You have to be there as a friend!”


    Seeing the hesitation on Ashlynn’s expression, Meredith asked, “You can’t be considering turning me


    down, can you?”


    Meredith’s friend chuckled, “No one would dare to turn you down.”


    “I’ll go,” Ashlynn said.


    Once Meredith provided the venue, she left with her friends.


    Ashlynn knew that Meredith and her friends belonged to the same ss and she was no onepared


    to them, which was why she did not wish to openly cross Meredith. It was just a birthday party, after all.


    She checked the time and went on to purchase a gift, as she could not participate in a birthday party


    empty- handed.


    After purchasing the gift, she called Corentin and said, I’m not going back for dinner. Meredith invited


    me to join her birthday party and I said yes.”


    “Should I send a car over?” He asked.


    “No. I’m already out. I will just head there directly.”


    “Don’t stay out toote.”


    “I know.”


    Ashlynn arrived on the second floor of the hotel and

    noticed that the whole floor had been reserved.


    As soon as she stepped through the door, she was instantly drawn by the sophisticated interior. There


    were men and women dressed in extravagant outfits and when she spotted Meredith chatting with her


    friends by the window with a ss of champagne in her hand, Ashlynn walked over and presented her


    gift. “Ms. Hilton, Happy Birthday. Here’s a little gift.”


    Meredith epted the small box and opened it to find a bracelet. As a high–borndy who was used to


    luxury products, she could tell the price of essories right away and eximed, “You are buying me


    this masstige for my birthday?”


    “It’s not a masstige. It’s mid-range, I think,” Ashlynn exined.


    “Mid–range products are just as bad as masstige,” Meredith spat in contempt.


    When Meredith’s friend noticed that Ashlynn referred to Meredith as ‘Ms. Hilton‘, they instantly came to


    a realization that Ashlynn was not a friend and began to confront Ashlynn. “You don’t look like you can’t


    afford luxury based on what you are wearing. Did you buy this kind of trash for Meredith to embarrass


    her?”


    “It’s not her fault,” Meredith said with resignation. “Shees from a slum.”


    Her friends gaped and covered their mouths in shock.


    “Seriously? The slum?”


    “Ew, that’s so disgusting. Why did they let this kind of person in here…”


    Everyone began whispering to one another without hiding their contempt for Ashlynn.


    Ashlynn could not understand what was there to be surprised about to learn that she came from a


    slum. All things aside, her gift was hardly a masstige when it cost hundreds. She had not even bought


    something this expensive for herself in the past.


    “You can have it back. It’s filthy.” Meredith tossed the bracelet onto the ground.


    Ashlynn picked it up calmly and said, “Do you really think that I can’t buy expensive gifts as Corentin’s


    woman? I just thought that this looks nice and bought it for you. After all, things that are expensive


    aren’t always the prettiest. If you don’t appreciate it, then just forget it.

    She met Meredith’s eyes bravely and refused to step down.


    “What did you just say? You are Corentin’s woman? My god, did I hear that correctly?”


    “What a joke! You should at least try to be convincing if you want to lie.”


    “Meredith, I guess she is trying to take your man!”


    “As if she has what it takes!” Meredith said. “Corentin, couldn’t possibly be interested in a woman who


    comes from the slum. I can tell that all the clothes on her are fake and she’s just here pretending to be


    someone that she’s not!”


    “Hey, isn’t that Corentin?” Someone looked over at the entrance.


    Ashlynn turned around and spotted the familiar towering figure walking toward them, his majestic


    demeanor attracting the eyes of all women in the hall.
