Chapter 1428
Ashlynn stood by the railings and looked at the police vehicle down below The police were digging up a
body by the side of the river, and then they ced the body in a bag.
There was also a police officer talking to Corentin.
Even if she could not hear them, she knew what they were talking about.
It was nothing more than pinning the crime on Alexis.
The truth was that it was indeed Alexis who killed her….
When Corentin turned his face to look upstairs, Ashlynn retracted her gaze, turned around, and entered
the bedroom.
She sat on the sofa listlessly in a daze.
No one was sadder or more anxious than she was at that moment.
She truly could no longer stay there for a second more.
After a while, there was a sound from the door. Corentin entered the bedroom and sat down next to
her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer. “You alright?”
“Is everything settled?”
“Let Alexis bear it. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to her. At most, she’ll be locked up with tighter
security.”
Ashlynn still could not help but look at Corentin’s face. She wanted to see what his reaction was when
he. said such words.
He looked very normal.
He looked so calm as if he was only recounting what he ate during lunch.
This type of person was extremely terrifying.
They were more terrifying than monsters and they should not exist.
Ashlynn lowered her head and gently rested her head on his shoulders. “…I won’t need to worry
anymore then.”
While Corentin was taking a shower, Ashlynn called Beth and said, “Teagan is dead. Alexis killed her
right
in Corentin’s mansion.”
“What?” Beth was shocked.
“Alexis is mentally ill. Teagan said some nasty things, so Alexis killed her.”
Ashlynn only told half the truth. She surely had to tell her mother to not make sure she was not kept in
the dark. If anything were to happen, at least they coulde up with a response.
What if Marshall started pursuing this matter… Would he pursue this matter?
The next day, Ashlynn deliberately headed over to have dinner with her family of four.
Marshall looked as if nothing was off. Ashlynn asked Beth about it, and she was told that Marshall did
not bring up Teagan at all.
Beth pulled Ashlynn into the study. “Tell me the truth, are things really that simple?”

Ashlynn sighed “Why are you so smart? I can’t hide anything from you”
Bethughed It’s too strange for Teagan to go to Corentin’s mansion.
“Wasn’t I in the hospital previously? Teagan came to the hospital to look for me I said some things to
her that were not pleasant to her ears She was so furious she threw the flowers at me, which
coincidentally Corentin witnessed.
Beth was stunned “Why did you not tell me that such a huge thing happened? Were you hurt? Why
didn’t you mention that you were bullied? Have you forgotten what I told you?”
Tm fine Besides, she has already paid the price.”
Beth analyzed, “So, this is Corentin’s doing?”
Ashlynn fell silent, which meant that she was admitting it.
“I’m very satisfied with how Corentin handled this. It’s one thing to provoke me. How dare she bully
you. Did she really think I’m easy to mess with?” Beth looked upset.
Ashlynn had mixed feelings.
She never thought that her mother would agree with such ways of handling matters.
Could it be true that people who had a high status for a long time would be so ruthlessly decisive in
their means?
However, she felt that her mother was different from Corentin.
Her mother would surely not be able to do it. She was only saying such things because Teagan has
died.
Ashlynn stayed with the Hilton family for a night before returning.
She glumly sat in the car and looked out on the streets in a daze.
The thing she needed to do at that moment was to test Corentin’s feelings.
As long as Corentin has fallen for her, she would immediately fight to get away without wasting another
second.
What exactly should she do…
