Chapter 1243

Corentin sighed heavily, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

Meredith followed Corentin in order to replace out where Ashlynn lived.

She did not see Ashlynn. Instead, she got a chance to spend some time with Corentin

As soon as she returned home, Meredith could not hold back her anger any longer. She confrontedCory directly, her eyes blazing with determination.

“Meredith, is this true? You can't say that about Corentin. He's not that kind of person. Corey knewthat Meredith was referring to the rumors about Ashlynn’s pregnancy. He tried to play it cool,pretending to be unhappy on the surface.

“Uncle Cory, I wouldn't have come here to tell you if I weren't sure. Uncle Cory, you have to make adecision for me on this matter. I can't allow a woman outside to give birth to Corentin’s child unlessthe marriage between the Hilton and Lloyd families is called off,” Meredith said, feeling aggrieved.Cory sighed heavily, knowing that he had no choice but to confront the truth. “The marriagebetween the Hilton and Lloyd families is a huge decision. The media are all rushing to report on it.Everyone knows this is a big event. Meredith, don't worry. I will definitely stand by your side and getrid of Ashlynn.”

Meredith nodded, satisfied with Cory’s response. She left, leaving Cory to contemplate his nextmove. He knew that he had to do something about Ashlynn, but he also knew that he could not justabandon her and their child. He ordered the housekeeper to take some people and search for her inthe private houses he believed she was hiding in.

In the afternoon, several cars arrived at Corentin’s private villa and were stopped by Owen and someother younger men. The butler, who was accompanied by a group of seasoned fighters, stepped outof the car.

"Who are you? Don’t you know this is private property? Get out of here!” Owen shouted, his roughmanner belying his true nature.

The butler looked at him politely. “Are you the young master's subordinate? Is Ashlynn in there?Elder Lloyd wants to see her.”

Owen looked at the butlers posture and the way he mentioned “Master’, and he knew immediatelywho he was dealing with. People from the Lloyd family. “I'm sorry, unless Mr. Lloyd is here, no onecan take Ashlynn away. Including the Lloyds,” Owen said firmly.

However, the butler was not easily deterred. He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Owen's temple. “Idon't want any conflicts. I will fight you to the end if I need to,” he said calmly.

Owen grinned, his eyes glinting with mischief. “Do you want to take a look at your bottom?” he said,drawing a knife and pointing it at the butler's nether regions.

The butler's face twitched in disgust. “What a scumbag,” he said with disdain

"Hey, don't say that. Weren't the Lloyds worse than us in the past?... ah!” Before Owen could finishspeaking, he was kicked in the leg. He got down on one knee in pain.

The force was heavy and blunt, to the point where he felt like his lower leg bones were about to bekicked off.

Owen inevitably bared his teeth. “You...”

“Bring her out!” the butler ordered.

"You wouldn't dare!” Owen still wanted to get up, but the butler stepped on his calf bone, makinghim unable to use his strength. “Mr. Lloyd won't spare you!”

Ashlynn was in the room, holding Chichi and feeding it snacks while watching TV.

The door of the room was knocked open

Ashlynn was calm when she saw two strange men coming in.

This was Corentin’s mansion, and the only people who dared to break in were Cory's men.

"Elder Lloyd wants to see you. Come with us!”

Chichi raised its head, and its two little ears were pricked up, looking alert.

Ashlynn gently smoothed Chichi's hair. “Don’t worry, you stay at home. I'll be fine.”
