Chapter 1385


    It was obvious that Corentin was the issue


    Corentin sat down on the couch, ignoring Beth and Marshall, while Ashlynn sat down next to him with


    her back straightened.


    Meredith red daggers at Ashlynn.


    “What’s so important that I need toe over right away?”


    Beth was amazed by just how arrogant Corentin was. He had shown no manners and was the


    complete opposite of the gentleman-like demeanor he showed on the outside.


    One should never judge a book by its cover and after being in close proximity with Corentin, Beth had


    finally seen his true self and decided that a man like him did not deserve to be with her daughter, even


    though her daughter grew up in the slum, she was a high-born by blood.


    Cory nced at Ashlynn sternly. “Did you injure someone from the Hilton Family?”


    Before Ashlynn could respond, Corentin sneered darkly. “I heard about what happened. That’s just a


    servant, so why are you all making a fuss over this? Ashlynn is my woman and even if she hurts


    someone in a position of power, she should never be made to exin herself”


    “That’s Aunt Cher,” Meredith said angrily. “She’s not like ordinary servants! She’s like family to me!”


    “You are full of surprises, Ms. Meredith, if you are so eager to be family with a servant,” Corentin


    mocked.


    “I.” Meredith was instantly rendered speechless.


    Beth and Marshall did not say a word and simply observed Corentin, wondering if Corentin was


    defending Ashlynn to preserve his own pride, or doing so for Ashlynn’s sake.


    Shortly after, Beth noticed the ring that did not exist on Ashlynn’s finger before. The diamond glittered


    spectacrly and it was clear that it cost a fortune.


    No one else would be capable of buying such a gift other than Corentin, as Ashlynn could not possibly


    buy it herself.


    “You are only defending your own pride. One might misunderstand that you actually care for Ashlynn!”


    Beth said in an attempt to expose him. “You even got a diamond ring for her. What, are you going to


    propose?”

    Ashlynn instinctively covered her hand as though it was the filthiest secret, which reinforced Beth’s


    belief that there was more to the story.


    ‘Maybe Ashlynn was forced to say that she loves Corentin… She thought.


    Meredith was humiliated Though Corentin had bought her gifts before, she had never received any ring


    from him. Even if she was not deeply in love with Corentin, such difference in treatment was a direct


    insult toward her


    She was the youngdy of the Hilton Family, the only person who could be considered a perfect match


    for Corentin, yet she was treated less than Ashlynn.


    Cory was embarrassed, but exined, “It’s just an essory It doesn’t mean anything.”


    “Why don’t I think so?” Beth questioned.


    Corentin’s expression darkened as he sneered ruthlessly. “That’s right. I’ve forgotten to mention that


    Ashlynn and I have been married for three months. Forgive me for the dy.”


    Everyone in the room gaped and Ashlynn was stunned.


    “What Beth stood abruptly in rage.


    “Corentin Lloyd, you are way out of line!” Marshall stood as well.


    Cory pointed at Corentin with a trembling finger, his heart threatening to give out “You….exin


    yourself Are you just saying that to get to me?”


    “You can look into it and see if I’m lying.” Corentin smirked.


    “Disgusting!” Meredith stood and ran off
