“It is of no consequence what others may think,” Corentin declared, implying that the only opinionthat mattered was Anthony's

Ashlynn, unable to remain prone any longer, sat up and queried, “Who is the other man?”“Tommy,” Corentin replied.

Ashlynn gasped in shock. “Isn't that his cousin? How scandalous!”

Corentin firmly grasped her waist and pulled her back down onto his sturdy chest, stating, “This is asituation we cannot control.”

Ashlynn disputed, “Do you simply intend to stand by and watch as they continue to do this?”“Yes,” Corentin confirmed without hesitation.

Ashlynn’s heart sank at his cold, unféeling response.

Of course, this was Corentin she was talking about. He could do anything to anyone, so it was nosurprise he would do this to his niece.

Corentin was a monster devoid of empathy.

Ashlynn, with a glimmer of hope, inquired, “Can the company still be returned to Anne's ownershipif it is simply being acquired? It must be possible as long as the company remains, right?”

“The company is now in Anthony's possession. It has been dismantled and can only become asubsidiary of the Archduke Group. He has made up his mind not to allow Anne to regain control,”Corentin informed her.

Ashlynn was stunned, the reality far worse than she had feared.

"You already knew about this,” she accused icily.

Corentin countered, “There is nothing anyone can do about it. Now go to bed. It is beneficial for thechild's development if the mother has a good night's sleep.”

Ashlynn was forced to lie in his arms, but sleep eluded her mind.

She was not concerned that Corentin might try to touch her or anything like that.

Since replaceing out she was pregnant, Corentin had not shown her any physical affection.

Ashlynn was aware of his discomfort, but she refused to sympathize with him. Instead, she wantedto say he deserved it.

“Stop contacting Jeremy in the future,” Corentin suddenly spoke in a threatening tone.

Ashlynn was irked by his coercion. “Jeremy is younger than me, and I see him as a younger brother.Besides, he is your brother-in-law.”

"Are you jealous?” Corentin asked.

Ashlynn replied calmly, “Don’t worry, I won't...”

Her words were cut off as Corentin’s hand tightened around her chin, his eyes narrowed insuspicion. “We are only doing this to placate an old man, don't freak out.”

Ashlynn’s resistance crumbled, her anger replaced by an overwhelming feeling of frustration. “Youare the one making me freak out!”

Corentin’s hand paused, his palm cupping her face gently as he gazed into her eyes. ” There is noone in this world who will treat you better than me.”

Ashlynn was unsure where he derived such confidence.

During the day, while Corentin worked at the Lloyd Group, Ashlynn remained at the villa with thetwo maids and a home full of surveillance cameras.

Ashlynn sat in the garden, absentmindedly watching the small fish swimming in the pond andthinking about Anne.

She wanted to call her, but she did not know what to say.

Anne must be feeling terrible, and she did not know how to persuade her to let go and move on,just as she had done herself.

Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation on her foot. Turning her gaze, she saw Chichi stepping on herfoot.

Ashlynn straightened her legs, and Chichi climbed up her legs, and when it reached her thighs, shebent her legs so that it could lay firmly on her thighs.

Ashlynn ran her hand through its fur, and Chichi closed its eyes and enjoyed it.

"Are you bored too? Sorry about that. You'll have to endure that,” Ashlynn said.

Before dinner, Corentin came over on time, apparently for dinner.

After getting out of the car, he walked toward the pool, pinched Ashlynn’s jaw, and kissed her thinlips.

“Hmm...” Ashlynn did not want to make a sound, but Corentin was being a little too intense for herto bear.

He kissed her soft lips wet before letting go.

Ashlynn resisted the urge to raise her hand to wipe away his saliva.

“What were you doing at home today?” Corentin’s amber eyes studied her face.

“Why ask if you already know the answer?” Ashlynn looked up at him.
