Chapter 1429

A men’s clothing store caught Ashlynn’s attention.

She got the driver to stop the car She got out of the car and headed toward the store.

The store sold luxury items for men. Even a pair of socks cost a few hundred dollars.

It suited Corentin just nicely.

After browsing around the shop, she chose two men’s ties in the end, which cost 20,000 dollars.

She even used her own money to buy it.

Only then she could truly show her sincerity.

After acquiring the ties, she continued shopping. She did not allow the driver to follow her as she

did not

like it.

When she was by the entrance of an accessories shop, someone called her from behind.

“Are you Ashlynn Thompson?”

As soon as Ashlynn turned around, she heard the sound of spraying, and a mist was directly sprayed

on her face.

She was caught off guard, and the pungent smell bore into her airway.

"You..." Before Ashlynn could say anything, she felt dizzy, and she saw black.

When the driver came over, he only saw the ties on the floor, but Ashlynn was nowhere to be found.

When Ashlynn woke up, she was in a strange house. The decor of the house was simple and old,

and a damp moldy smell packed in the air in the house.

The smell was familiar to her as if it was from a distant memory.

She could not stand up at all even if she wanted to. Her hands and legs were tied up.

At that moment, the door squeaked open and a middle-aged man entered.

The moment he entered, he glared at Ashlynn with resentment in his eyes.

Ashlynn, on the other hand, has no impression of him whatsoever.

Sensing danger, she retreated backward a little. “Who are you? Do you know that kidnapping is

against the law?”

“Then, do you know that murder is a more serious crime than kidnapping?” asked the man.

Ashlynn was trying to analyze the meaning of his words. Murder? Her? Without fear?

“I'm Teagan's lover.” Seeing how lost she was, the man told her directly out of his kindness.

At that instant, Ashlynn immediately understood what was happening.

..That was an accident. The criminal is mentally ill and she has been restrained,” Ashlynn said.

"Just like that? Pushing the blame onto a psychiatric patient. This is indeed a good idea.”

“I'm telling the truth!” Ashlynn said, “You might not know what Teagan did. She came to my house

and tried to provoke me and my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is someone who can't be

provoked, so she accidentally killed Teagan. Since you're Teagan's lover, how could you let her

seduce my father? If you

stopped it, things would not have ended up like that ”

“I know everything she did. She is only seeking revenge on Beth. She does not have any old flames

with Marshall Marshall, that jerk, chose to marry Beth to solidify the Hilton family’s interest Now, he

even caused Teagan her life! Everyone from the Hilton family is a jerk!” The man was overly agitated

Ashlynn wondered if that meant that those photos were deliberately used to irk her mother

“I hear that the Hilton family treats you like you're their precious. So, if I kill you, that would be

seeking revenge on them, right?” The man’s mind has already become twisted due to Teagan's

death.

“If 1 die, you won't be able to escape as well.”

“Do you think I care about that?”

Ashlynn comforted her nervousness. The man in front of her was prepared to die together with her,

but she did not want to die.

She racked her brain for a response, then she asked the man, “What is this place?”

“The slum where you grew up.”

Ashlynn’s expression changed a little. The slum. No wonder she felt the scent was familiar

She never thought that after leaving that place, the next time she would return would be because

she was kidnapped.

Clearly, the man had done detailed research before kidnapping her.

He even knew that she grew up there.

In fact, it was nothing too challenging. The things that Teagan knew, her lover would know too.
