Chapter 1173

“No problem with the engagement, but my condition is you don't find Ashlynn anymore,” Corentin

said sternly.

Cory nodded his head. “Sure, then I will arrange for it.”

“If 1 get engaged, will you invite your wife?” Corentin asked deliberately.

Cory did not look too pleased. “She is doing well in the mental hospital. There's no need for that.”

Corentin finished the dinner and did not stay any longer but immediately left.

He left Cory alone at the dining table.

The butler went forward. “Elder, do you want some soup? I see that you did not have a single sip of

it.”

“Do you think I have the appetite for it?” Cory placed his cutlery down.

"A man is looking for a woman, they are both consenting adults. There is nothing to worry about.”

The butler consoled him.

Cory had never underestimated Ashlynn. “This woman is not the same. She is Salvatore's ex-wife.

She could send Salvatore to jail back then, so she must be ruthless. Now, Corentin is swooned on by

her again...”

"Elder, please do not worry. Young master is not the same anymore. Plus, he already agreed to the

engagement with Ms. Hilton, didn't he? After the engagement, they will need to marry each other. It

will be as you wish.”

Corentin agreeing to the engagement was a consolation to Cory.

As for Ashlynn, he needed to finish her sooner or later.

It was because of Ashlynn he did not agree to the marriage at first, but now he has changed his

mind.

What more in the future?

If he did not give up completely on his past, how would he be able to move on to a better place?

A woman should never get in the way of a man’s success.

Ashlynn finished her dinner and walked around the mansion.

She was impressed by the picturesque scenery that would have cost hundreds of millions.

She also paid attention to whether there was any place where she could have escaped.

She did not see Corentin around after she woke up from the nap.

She was not in the mood to ask the servants either.

She would only have a chance to escape if Corentin was not around.

She took a look around and found there were only two maids and no one else.

So, just the two of them?

If that were the case, they would never be able to keep her on the watch.

Ashlynn did not want to spend any second more on this premises.

“Ms. Thompson, your phone call.” Just when she was zoning out in front of the pond, the maid came

by with the phone.

Ashlynn received it, and it was already connected. The maid must have answered it without her

permission.

She stuck the phone onto her ear and said, “What's up?”

"Did you have dinner?”

Yes”

“Did you feel nauseated?”

“Not really. I only had a bit of food,” Ashlynn said.

“I will go over earlier tomorrow morning,” Corentin said.

"You go on with work, don't worry about me. After all, the fetus is still quiet in the womb.”

“Stay in the mansion. Don't you go around.”

"Got it. Did Elder Lloyd ask for you?” Ashlynn asked.

"You guessed it.”

"Other than Elder Lloyd, I guess you would not have entertained anyone else.” Ashlynn had a good

understanding of the people around him.

Corentin laughed and said, “You are smart, Ash. Then try guessing, why did he look for me?”

“Because of me. You say there are his people in the mansion. I was not around for a few days or at

the office. He must have asked you about me,” Ashlynn said.

“You are right.” Corentin was very fascinated by her intelligence.
