Chapter 1256


    Ashlynny on the bed after a shower. She sprang up when she heard someone entering.


    She was now so jumpy that every single noise would make her feel tense.


    Corentin entered the bedroom, carrying his coat in his arm. His dark aura was even more intense than


    before.


    The way he looked at Ashlynn was even filled with coldness.


    Thest time Corentin was here was during the day, he came with the intention of killing her.


    Now, why was heing here at night?


    When Corentin reached the bed, Ashlynn could smell the alcohol on him.


    That intensified the dangerous waves in the atmosphere.


    Ashlynn looked at him with her guard up. “What are you doing?”


    “I am here to see you. Do you have a problem with that?” Corentin was like a beast, intruding. His


    amber–colored eyes were emitting dangerous rays.


    Ashlynn did not believe that he was only there to see her.


    Corentin threw his coat on the end of the bed and sat down. His tall figure blocked most of the light in


    front of him. “The Hilton family wanted to treat us to lunch, and I am here to bring you there, happy?”


    Ashlynn could notprehend. “Why are you bringing me?”


    “Aren’t you close with Beth?”


    Ashlynn was slightly out of breath. She then scolded furiously, “What’s wrong with you!”


    Then, she turned from the other side of the bed as though only if she put herself far away enough from


    Corentin, then only would she be safe.


    Corentin had not budged. He looked at her so calmly as though he was watching a bird hopping


    agitatedly in the cage but could never escape from it.


    “Do you really think the Hilton family just wanted to treat you to lunch? It is because you wanted to


    cancel your engagement with Meredith Hilton. You are bringing me there. Do you think I am just a


    snowke?”


    Corentin’s eyes were full of menace. “Then you must go anyway!”


    “I don’t want to!”


    “You don’t have a say in it!” Corentin stood up and went into the bathroom for a shower.


    The atmosphere in the room could never return to normal again, and the faint water sound from the


    bathroom only intensified the emotional pressure that she was experiencing


    How exactly did Corentine up with this idea to ask her to have lunch with the Hilton family?


    She knew how badly the Hiltons wanted her to disappear.


    If she attended, that would not be just a lunch but an open provocation.


    What did she have? She did not have status nor money. She would only be torn into pieces at lunch!


    She thought Corentin must have done this only as revenge for losing the kid!


    She did not protect the kid well… Ashlynn sat down by the bed weakly and suppressed the tears in her


    eyes.


    The bathroom door opened, and Ashlynn jumped. She saw Corentin with only a towel around his waist,


    feeling immensely pressured.


    Corentin was tall and buff, the lines of his muscles were chiseled, full of explosive force, like a beast


    who had spent years running in the field, ready to kill whenever it got its chance.


    Corentin went into bed and closed his eyes, never saying another word.


    Ashlynn stood there, not knowing anything to do, having her defenses up.


    Was Corentin here to sleep, or was he here to scare her?


    She remembered that she had just had a miscarriage not too long ago and thought that perhaps he


    was not such a maniac.


    Her brain was trying to console herself while her body was shivering in fear. Perhaps Salvatore’s image


    was too deeply imprinted in herself.


    With a loud tack, themp in the room was turned off.

    The room fell intoplete darkness.


    Ashlynn felt that if she did not go into bed now, Corentin would soon lose his patience.
