Chapter 808

Dorothy and Bianca did not feel at ease even though Nigel was dead. After all, Anne was still incontrol of the company, and they would still have to vent this resentment no matter what.

Then, Dorothy dragged Bianca to discuss the countermeasure for dealing with a situation, saying,“The company will sooner or later fall into our hands. Mr. Walker is now in charge of the expansionof the factory building. By letting him make sure that the building is jerry-built and causing thedeath of others, the company’s higher-ups will surely not let go of Anne even if she has Anthony tosuppress public opinion. Then, we'll intervene. Anne will surely be a mess and can't manage thecompany anymore. That's when we'll show up. No matter what, you're still Nigel's daughter.Everything will be fine as long as the company’s higher-ups support you.”

Bianca pulled a long face. Was she still considered Nigel's daughter?

Of course. As long as others were unaware, she was still Nigel's daughter.

This remained. Others would also be unchanged.

“As long as Dad dies, Anne will be miserable, and that's enough.”

"And making Sarah sad.”

Just as Dorothy said that, she immediately returned to her senses and realized that Bianca wastalking strangely. However, she did not dwell on the matter.

On the mansions second floor, Ashlynn was sitting on the balcony, and she placed Chichi on thetable, feeding it beef jerky.

After coming here, her living standard had drastically improved to the best standard. Even Chichi ateexquisite food, better than ordinary people. However, Ashlynn felt no different from a caged bird.The sound of a car's engine came from below.

As there was no guardrail next to the balcony, Ashlynn could see the black Bintley appearedelegantly yet imposingly at a glance.

His subordinate opened the door, and Corentin got out of the car, dressed in luxurious black.When Corentin noticed her, she looked away, focusing on Chichi.

A few minutes later, footsteps sounded behind Ashlynn. She did not look back, but her back tensedinstinctively as if the one approaching her was a monster,

Of course, Ashlynn regarded Salvatore as a monster in her heart.

Corentin sat down, and his face turned gloomy when he glanced at the coffee table. “Why's thereno fruit on the table?”

The maid, not far away, lowered her head nervously. “I'll get some right away.”

After the maid left, Ashlynn defended the maid, “It's because I don't want to eat any.”

In truth, she was lying. These maids were somewhat similar to Amy, and they did not truly respecther. Regardless, Ashlynn also liked how they ignored her existence. After all, she felt out of place inthis mansion.

Corentin did not say anything and directly picked Chichi up.

Ashlynn was shocked and said, “You're going to scare it."

She reached out, wanting to take Chichi back.

Corentin dodged, refusing to let her take Chichi back. “It seems that it's braver than you.”

Ashlynn looked anxiously at Chichi in his hand. Chichi appeared so small and vulnerable.Moreover, Corentin did not even care about human life, let alone a tiny dog.

Just looking at it like this made her shudder.

What would Chichi know? It did not even know how heinous the man in front of it was.

Soon, the maid brought over a fruit platter. She even squeezed a glass of fresh juice to match thedelicate dessert on the plate.

The treatment was completely different.

Corentin said, “If I catch you being negligent again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“Noted, Mr. Lloyd.”

"Leave us.”

The maid was so scared that she did not dare look up. Then, she stepped back, turned around, andleft the balcony.

Ashlynn was surprised. Could Corentin tell what had happened?

However, she really wanted to get Chichi back, and she kept staring at Corentin’s hands.

Corentin saw through her thoughts but chose to ignore them. He had no intention of giving Chichito her at all.

"Aren“t you going to ask where I went?” Corentin asked as he petted Chichi.

Ashlynn bit her lower lip.

“You should at least have the awareness a wife should have.” Corentin was disappointed.

Ashlynn’s face turned gloomy. “Just like before, can I stop you if you want to replace another woman?”Even though Salvatore was a monster, he had a great body and was exceptionally handsome in theslum. Even if he was poor, many women still wanted to climb into his bed despite knowing he was amarried man.

Ashlynn even bumped into Salvatore, hugging another woman once.

Corentin finally seemed to have had enough fun and returned Chichi to Ashlynn. “You have aproblem. with me that quick?”

Ashlynn held Chichi in her arms as if she had lost and found the dog. “Il won't dare to.”

Corentin said, “I went to Luton. Anne's dad, my eldest brother, died.”

“What...” Ashlynn froze. “W-Why didn't you tell me? I should've gone.”

“Even if you go, he won't be resurrected.”

Ashlynn thought Corentin was too inhuman to say such a thing!

Then, she got up with Chichi in her arms.

“I'm going to call Ms. Vallois,” Ashlynn said as she ran to her room.

She found her phone and immediately called Anne.

“Ms. Vallois, are...you busy?”

“I'm fine. What's wrong? Are you doing well in Athetin?” Anne asked.

“Ms. Vallois, I'm fine. Corentin came back and said he went to Luton to mourn your dad. Is that true?What happened? Why did he suddenly...”

Nigel was doing fine when she left.

"Someone poisoned him, and he could not be saved.”

"Who did it?" Ashlynn was shocked. Someone caused his death?

“I don't know. It's still under investigation.”
