Chapter 1251
“You should have known that there was a problem at the mansion. Why didn’t you notice it? Give me a
reason.” Corentin leaned on the sofa and looked at Owen. “I told you to keep an eye on the
surveince, did you?”
Owen stood there straight, not daring to answer.
“Owen, you’re not a careless person.” Corentin’s voice dropped suddenly.
Owen knelt down in fright. “Mr. Lloyd, even if you punish me today, I will never regret what I did! You
should never have kept Ashlynn by your side, she is nothing but trouble, and she will be the cause of
your downfall sooner orter! I received a call from a strange man who wanted to take Ashlynn away,
and I…I…”
Needless to say, Corentin knew what he had done next.
Paul, next to him, was stunned. “Owen, you…”
“Mr. Lloyd, you are the heir of the Lloyd family. Ashlynn is already in the past. You have already done
her a favor by being lenient to her, and you should not keep her by your side…” Owen did not feel that
he was wrong, and he kept bumbling on.
Paul knew that he was going to get in trouble.
In the blink of an eye, Corentin picked up the unopened wine bottle on the table and
mmed it on Owen’s head!
Crash!This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
ss splinters flew everywhere.
“Ah!” Owen held his head and writhed on the ground.
Corentin walked toward Owen. “Did I say you could meddle in my affairs? If you seek death, I would be
happy to help.”
He kicked Owen’s stomach.
“Ouch!”
“Go to hell!” Corentin kicked him again and again in anger.
Owen did not resist and protected his abdomen and vitals with his hands.
Seeing this, Paul felt anxious.
If Corentin kept kicking him, Owen would die from blunt force trauma!
“Mr. Lloyd, calm down. Owen meant to do you good. He won’t do it again in the future! Mr. Lloyd!” Paul
stepped forward and pulled Corentin back.
Corentin was panting heavily, he was not drunk, but his eyes were stormy.
The clothes and hair on his body were slightly disheveled because of his violent actions, which made
him look wild and bloodthirsty.
“Don’t you dare appear in front of me again!” Corentin left the room directly.
Paul looked at Owen, who was curled up on the ground motionless. How could he be so ignorant of the
situation? He could not bear to see him in such a mess.
Paul crouched down. “Are you dead?”
Owen could hardly stretch his stiff body. “I broke at least three ribs.”
Paulughed exasperatedly at him. “Mr. Lloyd showed you mercy.”
“I know Mr. Lloyd is very angry, but I still don’t want his life to be messed up because of Ashlynn.”
Owen moved his body and grimaced in pain. “I don’t understand. Why Ashlynn?”
“Maybe Ashlynn is special.”
“What?”
“Remember the ce we grew up in? Even the rats living there think it’s poor, dirty, and messy.
Ashlynn was the only one who did not fit in there. She was elegant and nice. Besides, she’s a famous
college student. Before Ashlynn, I had yet to hear of anyone who was admitted to a prestigious
university. That’s probably why Mr. Lloyd likes Ashlynn!”
“But Mr. Lloyd is not what he used to be. He can get his hands on anyone he wants, including the ones
that graduate from prestigious universities. I heard that Meredith is also from a prestigious university!”
Paul shook his head helplessly. He really did not know how to exin this to Owen.” Okay, can you
stand? I’ll take you to the hospital. You had better stay out of Mr. Lloyd’s sight for now, and wait until he
calms down. The nerve…”
Ashlynn was lying in bed drowsy because it was alreadyte at night.
She had just had a miscarriage, and she felt weak.
She did not dare to sleep though.
As soon as she heard movement, she stood upright and went out of the bedroom.
Corentin, who had just entered the room, smelled of alcohol and had a dark expression as if he wanted
to murder someone.
Ashlynn was panicking, but she was worried about Chichi and asked, “Where’s Chichi? You didn’t do
anything to it, did you? Corentin, you wouldn’t have… right?”
“Did you think I was joking?” Corentin asked darkly.
Ashlynn shook her head, tears in her eyes. “Corentin, you’re a monster…you’re a monster!”
Corentin stood in front of her, towering over her like a monster in the dark night.” Answer me now. Who
took you?”
Ashlynn’s breathing was unsteady. “I didn’t see any faces. I was out cold. When I woke up, I was
already in the ward.”
“You think I’ll believe that?” Corentin stepped closer.
Ashlynn stepped back. “Give me Chichi!”
“You are okay with the child gone, but not okay when ites to the dog?” Corentin stretched out his
hand and grabbed Ashlynn’s neck.
In the next second, she was thrown on the bed, she was suffocating, and her vision was blurring.
“Corentin…”
“Go to hell!”
“Mmm!!” Ashlynn felt as if her neck was about to snap, and she could not get enough oxygen. Her face
was flushed, and her eyes were swollen.
All she saw was Corentin’s crazed expression.
Corentin did not shoot her in the hospital when he pointed the gun at her. Was she going to die now?
Ashlynn could do nothing.
Her vision blurred, and she sank into darkness.
The neck on her hand suddenly loosened, fresh oxygen flowed into her lungs, and Ashlynn woke up
with a jolt, coughing violently.
The coughing made her curl up and shiver.
Corentin took Ashlynn’s face into his hands and looked down at Ashlynn’s pale face.” Do you regret it
now?”
With tears of fear in Ashlynn’s eyes, she said hoarsely, “The only thing I regret is… saving you.”
Corentin looked at her. His amber eyes were motionless, as if he was looking at a small and helpless
creature. “Unfortunately, what is done is done.”
Ashlynn felt bitter. He was right.
Time could never be reversed.
Corentin gently touched her face with a crazed expression. “You have contributed a lot to who I am
now. How could I have be Corentin if it weren’t for you? I should spare you because of this. You
really wanted to marry me a long time ago, didn’t you?
“Salvatore, everyone gets married…to be happy.”
