    “What have you said to her? She ran over to Beth’s ce and stabbed her!” Cory roared in a dark


    expression.


    Ashlynn gaped at Corentin, realizing that this was the reason why Corentin mentioned to Alexis that


    Beth bullied her.


    “How is Beth? Is she alright?” Ashlynn asked worriedly.


    “Her arm was hurt, but she is not in any critical danger. The Hiltons won’t let this slide!” Cory said.


    Beth was the daughter-inw that old Mr. Hilton chose and he had trained her as he would his own


    daughter. The Lloyd Family would not be able to escape certain punishment for causing such a thing to


    happen.


    “I know that you did this! Alexis wouldn’t have been able to escape the asylum if you didn’t make the


    arrangement!” Cory mmed his palms onto the dining table.


    Corentin leaned back casually. “Why are you all worked up? The Hiltons won’te after us.”


    “Why are you so sure?” Cory felt that the situation could not be worse. Corentin had called off the


    engagement with Meredith and had now caused Beth’s injury. Crossing the Hiltons in Athetin would


    bring unimaginable consequences.


    Corentin pointed his chin at Ashlynn. “Beth Wace likes her.”


    Ashlynn understood what he was saying and her expression darkened, reluctant to help the Lloyd


    Family in any way.


    “Why her?” Cory asked in confusion, “Why would Alexis go after Beth in the first ce?? You were


    trying to use a madwoman tomit murder for you? Corentin, I already told you that the Hiltons have


    nothing to do with that baby!”


    Corentin narrowed his eyes darkly. “And I told you that I will make them pay for killing my child. Go


    home if that’s all you have to say!” He then continued to focus on his


    meal.


    Cory was furious and taken by surprise that Corentin would do such a thing. He nced at Ashlynn


    and asked, “Beth will really listen to you and let this slide?”


    “I have nothing to do with this,” Ashlynn said.


    Corentin shot Ashlynn an endearing half-smile.


    Cory stormed off, hoping that the Hiltons would be willing to forgive them once he paid them a visit to


    apologize in person.


    “Are you worried about Beth?”


    “No.”


    Despite what she said, Ashlynn made a call to Beth after Corentin left for work.

    “Are youing to see me?” Beth asked cheerfully.


    “I…”


    “Come over, won’t you? Let’s have lunch together.”


    Ashlynn hesitated, before agreeing.


    She arrived at Marshall and Beth’s mansion in the morning and stood outside the door, when she heard


    a car approaching.


    She turned around and spotted Beth’s car and Beth was stepping out of the car.


    “Have you waited long?” Beth hurried over in heels, her eyes filled with longing for Ashlynn.


    Ashlynn nced at the bandage around Beth’s arm. “Auntie, are you alright?”


    “I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.” Beth could see nothing else but Ashlynn and reached out to take her hand.


    “Come, let’s go inside.”


    Ashlynn was pulled into the living room and was confused as to why Beth was holding her hand so


    preciously.


    Aunt Cher was stunned when she spotted the two walking over hand in hand.


    “Come. Sit.” Beth pulled Ashlynn to sit down next to her. Though she had tried calming herself for the


    past two days, she still could not hold back the excitement she felt when she saw Ashlynn.


    “Go make Ashlynn some juice. Jeremy said that you used to love fruit juice when you were working at


    the Lloyd Group,” Beth said.
