“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 Beth

would 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 be

abused,” Beth said.

Tess”

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

Ashlynn could not find her words, not knowing if she was truly worthy of such treatment despite

being 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 over

there to pick you up.”

"...Okay."

Beth remained quiet for a few moments, before uttering, “I...” There was so much that she wished to

say, but her words would not come out.

Ashlynn noticed Corentin standing in a distance, and hastily hung up, before putting her phone

away and walking over to him. “I've spoken to Beth. She won't come to get me. Can you delete the

video 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 Beth

back 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 photos

Corentin had. She grabbed onto his arm pleadingly. “Salvatore, delete them. If those leak, I would

kill 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 and

managed to unlock the phone in one attempt.

She was shocked when she saw all the videos and photos on his phone. There was nothing but

unspeakable 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.
