Chapter 1281

“You...love him?” Beth asked.

Ashlynn lowered her gaze to stare at the tip of her shoes. “...Yes,"

Beth remained quiet.

"Auntie, thank you for everything, but I've made up my mind,” Ashlynn said, not knowing if Bethwould be upset as it sounded almost like she was trying to take Meredith's man.

“I support whatever choice you make, but you need to think this through. I don’t want you to beabused,” Beth said.

Tess”

"Whatever happens, you are still welcome to drop by for dinner. Do you understand?”

Ashlynn could not replace her words, not knowing if she was truly worthy of such treatment despitebeing trapped in her worst nightmare at the same time.

“Sure,” she whispered.

“This is my number. Call me whenever you want,” Beth said, “if you want to come back, I can go overthere to pick you up.”

"...Okay."

Beth remained quiet for a few moments, before uttering, “I...” There was so much that she wished tosay, but her words would not come out.

Ashlynn noticed Corentin standing in a distance, and hastily hung up, before putting her phoneaway and walking over to him. “I've spoken to Beth. She won't come to get me. Can you delete thevideo now, Corentin? It's sick...to keep something like that!”

“That depends on you,” he said darkly.

“I will stay and obey you. Just delete them!”

He sneered evilly, “I'm still curious...why would Beth care so much about you all of a

sudden?”

“Maybe...maybe she doesn't want me to interfere with your relationship with Meredith.”

“Don't overthink it. I didn't call off the engagement with Meredith because of you. I will get Bethback sooner or later for getting my son killed,” Corentin gritted out

fiercely.

Ashlynn did not care about any of the things he said and could only think of the videos and photosCorentin had. She grabbed onto his arm pleadingly. “Salvatore, delete them. If those leak, I wouldkill myself..."

He pulled his arm away and caressed her cheek. “I can't possibly get rid of my leverage against you.”She gave him a pained look. “You should be locked in a mental hospital!”

"What a good idea. Let's go together tomorrow.”

Ashlynn ignored him.

That night, she went into the shower first and reached for Corentin’s phone when it

was his turn to shower.

There was a password to his phone and she tried to search her memories.

When she was working at the Lloyd Group, she had seen Corentin typing the password andmanaged to unlock the phone in one attempt.

She was shocked when she saw all the videos and photos on his phone. There was nothing butunspeakable sight of her and she trembled at the number of files there

were.

She selected all of them and deleted everything, before sighing a breath of relief.

"Are you done?” A devilish voice echoed in the room

Startled, she backed away and fell onto the bed.
