Chapter 1060


    “I think you are trying to escape!” Owen pushed her. “Ashlynn, you had betrayed Mr. Lloyd before, and


    now you are using him. What a shame that he is so good to you! You are as heartless as ever!”


    Ashlynn panicked and exined, “I think you misunderstood. I said that I don’t know him.”


    “Who would believe you?” Owen looked as though he had done something rewarding. “I had already


    informed Mr. Lloyd about this, and he is on his way now.” Ashlynn was stunned.


    Corentin was rushing here in the middle of the night, and that only exined something. He was here


    to ‘take care‘ of her!


    What should she do…


    Owen pushed her into the car and brought her to a mansion.


    Ashlynn got out of the car and looked at the strange ce, not moving an inch.


    Owen said, “Mr. Lloyd bought this ce not too long ago. It is useful now. After all, it is not convenient


    for him to make too much noise at the hotel.”


    She was shaken by the word ‘noise‘. He meant Corentin was about to do something very bad to her.


    Ashlynn knew how twisted Corentin could be and could not help but start to freak out.


    “Go inside!” Owen pushed her hard.


    Ashlynn almost mmed onto the ground.


    Owen looked at Ashlynn inside the house with his ferocious gaze.


    He really wanted to destroy this woman and leave no trace of her!


    Keeping this woman around was such a disaster!


    She framed Mr. Lloyd again, and she was obviously testing Mr. Lloyd’s limits!


    What other reasons were there for Mr. Lloyd to keep her!


    Therefore, he needed not to lift a single finger and would leave her to Mr. Lloyd instead.


    Ashlynn entered the mansion, and there was not a single soul inside.


    Even though it was nothing like the one in Athetin, it was not small either, and the overall space felt


    empty.


    Even though the lights were on, the ce felt eerie, as if this would be her future graveyard.


    It was dead quiet after the car outside left. Apparently, Owen and his people were keeping her on the


    watch to prevent her from escaping while waiting for Corentin to arrive.


    Ashlynn was panicking, and she did not have the guts to go to bed.


    She felt like a criminal waiting for a verdict.


    She only had her phone with her. Her bag was left in the room at the bar.


    She called Jeremy, but no one answered.


    She called Xander. It rang a few times before it was answered. She informed him that Corentin would


    be here soon and that she had left the bar early.


    She hung up and looked at Corentin’s number. She calmed herself down before calling.


    It felt like a tormenting wait, especially when Corentin did not pick up.


    She called twice, but both to no avail.


    She sat on the couch, hugging her head in between her arms, feeling flustered.


    Corentin was already on his way there but did not pick up his phone, which meant things were serious.


    Five years ago, she framed Salvatore the same way. Five yearster, history repeated itself. Would


    Corentin make sure she dies this time?


    She had witnessed firsthand Corentin’s ruthlessness.


    Ashlynn could not calm down, and she wanted to leave.


    She wanted to leave so desperately, so badly.


    It was such a creepy ce.


    It would be best for her to leave the ce and avoid Corentin.

    Ashlynn edged to the door and saw the human shadows on both sides of the door. She knew it was


    Owen and the gang.


    She turned, went upstairs, entered the room, and looked down from the balcony.


    She did not see anyone around there.


    She ripped the bed sheets off and tied one edge to the railing of the balcony. Then, she moved her


    body slowly down the fabric.


    The bed sheet was not long enough for two stories.


    Ashlynn visually sized hernding point, and the height, then loosened her hands and jumped. She


    rolled on the ground to reduce impact.


    Just when she was about to stand up, she heard a helicopter from afar.


    When she realized that the helicopter was going tond in the mansion, she knew that it was Corentin


    arriving fast!


    Ashlynn wanted to run away.


    The mansion was surrounded by tall walls.


    She ran to the corner of the wall and then to the railing. She stepped her foot onto the wall, at the same


    time, using her hand to grab the top of the wall, and climbed up with great difficulty. Then, she hopped


    off the wall.


    The helicopter stopped, and Corentin disembarked from it.


    “Mr. Lloyd, she is inside,” Owen said.


    Corentin was intimidating. He radiated a scary vibe as he walked into the mansion.


    He did not see Ashlynn after entering.


    He went to the bedroom and saw the bed sheet hanging over the railing of the balcony.


    Corentinughed, his eyes radiating blood lust.


    Ashlynn used all her might to run forward as soon as she reached the ground. She did not dare to stop


    or look back.


    However, she could never outrun a four–wheel.


    She was barely a kilometer away when she heard the car behind her.


    Ashlynn immediately elerated. She did not dare to stop.


    Perhaps it was not Corentin. Perhaps it was just some other passerby.


    The car drove past her.


    Then, with a loud screech, it stopped horizontally in front of Ashlynn.


    Ashlynn’s way was blocked. She stopped and panted. Her heart and lungs were almost leaping out of


    her throat.


    The cars blocked both in front and behind her.


    Ashlynn saw Corentin getting off the car in front of her, and her red cheeks immediately went pale.


    She watched as Corentin walked to her, and she could not see his expression in the light. His face was


    so dark that it looked like a scary, twisted creature.


    “Corentin, I called you, but you did not… Ah!” Before Ashlynn could finish, her hair was pulled by


    Corentin, and she could feel as though her scalp was about to be pulled apart by him.


    Corentin dragged her hair and mmed it forcefully against the car.


    “Ah!” Ashlynn mmed into the car, her whole body shaking.


    Owen stood by the side and watched as Ashlynn was beaten up, waiting for her to be beaten to death.


    Corentin walked to her. “Damn you…” He grabbed Ashlynn’s hair again and pulled her to the back.


    “Hmmm!” Ashlynn was forced to look up. Her face was full of horror.


    “A mistake is called a mistake the first time. The second time would be called a folly! Ash, are you tired


    of living?” Corentin’s scary face engulfed her.


    Ashlynn closed her eyes, her voice trembling, “I… I don’t know what Owen told you, but it is not like


    what you think…”


    “You shut up!” Corentin howled and flung her away.


    “Ah!” Ashlynn was mmed into the ground in front of the car, her whole body shaking.


    It was as though she was facing a lethal monster.


    Light shone through from behind Corentin’s back, casting a long shadow on her body, looking like a


    monster.
