Chapter 1243


    Corentin sighed heavily, turned off the light, and went to sleep.


    Meredith followed Corentin in order to find out where Ashlynn lived.


    She did not see Ashlynn. Instead, she got a chance to spend some time with Corentin.


    As soon as she returned home, Meredith could not hold back her anger any longer. She confronted


    Cory directly, her eyes zing with determination.


    “Meredith, is this true? You can’t say that about Corentin. He’s not that kind of person. Corey knew that


    Meredith was referring to the rumors about Ashlynn’s pregnancy. He tried to y it cool, pretending to


    be unhappy on the surface.


    “Uncle Cory, I wouldn’t havee here to tell you if I weren’t sure. Uncle Cory, you have to make a


    decision for me on this matter. I can’t allow a woman outside to give birth to Corentin’s child unless the


    marriage between the Hilton and Lloyd families is called off,” Meredith said, feeling aggrieved.


    Cory sighed heavily, knowing that he had no choice but to confront the truth. “The marriage between


    the Hilton and Lloyd families is a huge decision. The media are all rushing to report on it. Everyone


    knows this is a big event. Meredith, don’t worry. I will definitely stand by your side and get rid of


    Ashlynn.”


    Meredith nodded, satisfied with Cory’s response. She left, leaving Cory to contemte his next move.


    He knew that he had to do something about Ashlynn, but he also knew that he could not just abandon


    her and their child. He ordered the housekeeper to take some people and search for her in the private


    houses he believed she was hiding in.


    In the afternoon, several cars arrived at Corentin’s private vi and were stopped by Owen and some


    other younger men. The butler, who was apanied by a group of seasoned fighters, stepped out of


    the car.


    “Who are you? Don’t you know this is private property? Get out of here!” Owen shouted, his rough


    manner belying his true nature.


    The butler looked at him politely. “Are you the young master’s subordinate? Is Ashlynn in there? Elder


    Lloyd wants to see her.”


    Owen looked at the butler’s posture and the way he mentioned ‘Master’, and he knew immediately who


    he was dealing with. People from the Lloyd family. “I’m sorry, unless Mr. Lloyd is here, no one can take


    Ashlynn away. Including the Lloyds,” Owen said firmly.


    However, the butler was not easily deterred. He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Owen’s temple. “I


    don’t want any conflicts. I will fight you to the end if I need to,” he said calmly.


    Owen grinned, his eyes glinting with mischief. “Do you want to take a look at your bottom?” he said,


    drawing a knife and pointing it at the butler’sher regions.


    The butler’s face twitched in disgust. “What a scumbag,” he said with disdain.


    “Hey, don’t say that. Weren’t the Lloyds worse than us in the past?… ah!” Before Owen could finish


    speaking, he was kicked in the leg. He got down on one knee in pain.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The force was heavy and blunt, to the point where he felt like his lower leg bones were about to be


    kicked off.


    Owen inevitably bared his teeth. “You…”


    “Bring her out!” the butler ordered.


    “You wouldn’t dare!” Owen still wanted to get up, but the butler stepped on his calf bone, making him


    unable to use his strength. “Mr. Lloyd won’t spare you!”


    Ashlynn was in the room, holding Chichi and feeding it snacks while watching TV.


    The door of the room was knocked open.


    Ashlynn was calm when she saw two strange mening in.


    This was Corentin’s mansion, and the only people who dared to break in were Cory’s men.


    “Elder Lloyd wants to see you. Come with us!”


    Chichi raised its head, and its two little ears were pricked up, looking alert.


    Ashlynn gently smoothed Chichi’s hair. “Don’t worry, you stay at home. I’ll be fine.”
