Chapter 1384

It was obvious that Corentin was the issue

Corentin sat down on the couch, ignoring Beth and Marshall, while Ashlynn sat down next to him

with her back straightened.

Meredith glared daggers at Ashlynn.

"What's so important that I need to come over right away?"

Beth was amazed by just how arrogant Corentin was. He had shown no manners and was the

complete opposite of the gentleman-like demeanor he showed on the outside.

One should never judge a book by its cover and after being in close proximity with Corentin, Beth

had finally seen his true self and decided that a man like him did not deserve to be with her

daughter, even though her daughter grew up in the slum, she was a high-born by blood.

Cory glanced at Ashlynn sternly. “Did you injure someone from the Hilton Family?”

Before Ashlynn could respond, Corentin sneered darkly. “I heard about what happened. That's just a

servant, so why are you all making a fuss over this? Ashlynn is my woman and even if she hurts

someone in a position of power, she should never be made to explain herself”

“That's Aunt Cher,” Meredith said angrily. “She's not like ordinary servants! She's like family to me!”

"You are full of surprises, Ms. Meredith, if you are so eager to be family with a servant,” Corentin

mocked.

“l.” Meredith was instantly rendered speechless.

Beth and Marshall did not say a word and simply observed Corentin, wondering if Corentin was

defending Ashlynn to preserve his own pride, or doing so for Ashlynn’s sake.

Shortly after, Beth noticed the ring that did not exist on Ashlynn’s finger before. The diamond

glittered spectacularly and it was clear that it cost a fortune.

No one else would be capable of buying such a gift other than Corentin, as Ashlynn could not

possibly buy it herself.

“You are only defending your own pride. One might misunderstand that you actually care for

Ashlynn!” Beth said in an attempt to expose him. “You even got a diamond ring for her. What, are

you going to propose?”

Ashlynn instinctively covered her hand as though it was the filthiest secret, which reinforced Beth's

belief that there was more to the story.

“Maybe Ashlynn was forced to say that she loves Corentin... She thought.

Meredith was humiliated Though Corentin had bought her gifts before, she had never received any

ring from him. Even if she was not deeply in love with Corentin, such difference in treatment was a

direct insult toward her

She was the young lady of the Hilton Family, the only person who could be considered a perfect

match for Corentin, yet she was treated less than Ashlynn.

Cory was embarrassed, but explained, “It's just an accessory It doesn't mean anything.”

"Why don't I think so?” Beth questioned.

Corentin’s expression darkened as he sneered ruthlessly. “That's right. I've forgotten to mention that

Ashlynn and I have been married for three months. Forgive me for the delay.”

Everyone in the room gaped and Ashlynn was stunned.

"What Beth stood abruptly in rage.

“Corentin Lloyd, you are way out of line!” Marshall stood as well.

Cory pointed at Corentin with a trembling finger, his heart threatening to give out “You....explain

yourself Are you just saying that to get to me?”

"You can look into it and see if I'm lying.” Corentin smirked.

“Disgusting!” Meredith stood and ran off
