Chapter 1090


    The butler walked in and announced, “Elder Lloyd, the food is ready.”


    “Let’s talk about the signter. Let’s eat.” Cory got up.


    It was almost a full table.


    Anne and Anthony sat together as someone needed to help with her meal and it had always been


    Anthony who took up the role.


    The triplets sat next to them and Ashlynn went to sit next to Chloe, ignoring


    Corentin’s warning re.


    Meredith sat next to Corentin, while Bianca sat next to her.


    “It’s been so many years since we had such a big family gathering,” Cory said.


    “It will happen more often from now on,” the butler said.


    “Eat up. Eat whatever you want,” Cory said to the others.


    Meredith watched as Anthony put various food onto Anne’s te and cut her steak into tiny pieces,


    wondering why he had ignored his own children.


    Ashlynn, on the other hand, was looking after the children. Soon, Meredith noticed the odd looks in


    Anne’s eyes and realized that Anne could not see.


    “Ashlynn, how’s working in the Lloyd Group been like for you?” Meredith asked abruptly.


    Surprised, Ashlynn answered despite getting a bad feeling about it. “It’s been great.”


    “The Lloyd Group isn’t an ordinarypany, so you need to be careful not to cause Corentin any


    trouble!” Meredith reminded.


    “I have worked as an assistant before, so I can handle it,” Ashlynn said.


    “That’s right. I can’t imagine doing such hardbor, or I would have applied for the job myself. I envy


    you,” Meredith said sarcastically in a way that any person would be ,displeased to hear.


    Ashlynn did not react and pretended as though she did not notice what Meredith was hinting. “You


    don’t have to envy me. It’s a simple job and you can always learn.”


    ‘Learn?‘ Meredith thought furiously. ‘Is she trying to imply that Corentin won’t hire me even if I apply for


    the job?”


    She grabbed the wine ss next to her and took a sip, before gasping. “Oh, my. I’m sorry, Corentin. I


    mistook your ss for mine.”


    “It’s fine.”


    Meredith had done so on purpose to showcase how special her rtionship with Corentin was, wanting


    to punish Ashlynn for showing her face here. “I knew that you would not-”


    “Change my ss to a new one,” Corentinmanded the butler.


    The butler nced at the enraged look on Meredith’s face, before bowing and leaving to take a new


    ss for Corentin.


    Once he returned with the new ss, he poured Corentin a new ss of wine.


    Bianca, who sat next to Meredith, could sense just how furious Meredith was and realized that being


    the daughter of a powerful family might not be as pleasant as it seemed.


    Though Anne could not see, her other senses had grown sharper.


    What Meredith said to Ashlynn was clearly meant to provoke Ashlynn, but Meredith failed miserably in


    the end.


    “I want to drink wine, too!” Charlie demanded.


    “Huh? You want wine, too?” Cory chuckled, “You are too young. You will have to wait until you grow


    older.”


    “I hate being two years old!” Charlie pouted.


    The others burst into giggles andughter at his words and the tension in the air dissolved.


    Ashlynn handed him a ss and said, “Why don’t you drink some juice? It’s sweet.”


    “You should have some, too, Big Sister!” Charlie said.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
