Chapter 1254


    Listening to the sound of the car engine leaving, her tears poured down.


    Ashlynn had no idea what Corentin was going to do.


    It was not until she went to bed at night that she received a call from Anne. She adjusted her mood


    before answering, “Hi, Anne.”


    “My uncle’s marriage to Meredith was called off?” Anne asked.


    “This… I don’t know about this.” Ashlynn was surprised.


    “I heard it by ident. The Lloyd Group made it public. I thought you knew. What happened? Were you


    involved?” Anne asked.


    “I… the child is gone. The Hilton family did it. That’s why Corentin went berserk.” Ashlynn did not hide it


    from her.


    “The child… cheer up, take good care of your body. You can have more kids in the future.”


    “Not anymore. I didn’t want to have Corentin’s child, and it worked out well for me…” Ashlynn said with


    certainty.


    She would not tell anyone that when she slept alone at night, she secretly grieved over the loss of her


    child.

    She did not dare to cry.


    Anne knew that even if Ashlynn was nonchnt, she was probably hurting deep inside.


    “The Hilton family shouldn’t mess with Corentin. He can do horrible things to them,” Ashlynn said.


    He had no weaknesses and was scared of nothing.”


    Just as Salvatore was afraid of nothing, he was a monster that would not even blink if a knife got stuck


    in his body.


    “Forget him. What you have to do now is to not think about anything and take care of your body. Do


    you understand me?” Anne was worried about her.


    “I’m fine, don’t worry about me. How are you doing?”


    “Not bad.” Although Anne had returned to the Royal Mansion and seemed to be back to normal with


    Anthony, the uneasiness in her heart was more pronounced.


    It seemed abnormal for someone as cunning as Anthony not to do anything.


    They chatted for a while on the phone, then hung up.


    They felt powerless.


    Anne could not help Ashlynn, and Ashlynn could not help Anne either.


    After Corentin told the Lloyd Group’s public rtions department to send out the


    news of the cancetion of the marriage, the Hiltons and the Lloyds were caught off guard.


    After seeing the news, Beth threw down the pen in her hand angrily.


    She stood up, arms crossed, standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows, facing the night outside


    illuminated by streetmps.


    Someone knocked on the study door.


    “Come in.”


    Aunt Cher came in with a small bowl. “Mrs. Hilton, why don’t you drink some tea and go to bed early?”


    Beth was distraught. “I can’t sleep even if I drink tea.”


    “You don’t look good. You are too worried. No matter howplicated thepany’s affairs are, you


    still have to sleep!” Aunt Cher had a smile on her face.


    “When did you see me worrying so much about thepany?”


    “Is it because of… little missy?” Aunt Cher took an educated guess.


    “Corentin canceled the marriage with the Hiltons.”


    “That’s too arrogant of him! What does he think we are, beggars?” Aunt Cher could not believe it.
