Chapter 1171

Corentin had moved everything under the sun to this place, as though he was playing his role as the father.

Corentin had a meeting that afternoon and then left the company.

Jeremy also happened to be there to see Corentin for something about work. He placed his hands in the pocket, the documents in his armpit, and strode casually.

Just when he was about to knock on the door, Evan came by and said, “Mr. Hilton, the CEO went out.”

“He was also out when I was here yesterday. He seems busy lately?” Jeremy frowned.

“He is indeed busy.” Evan did not say much.

Jeremy raised his eyebrows, then walked away.

He saw a woman that made him feel troubled on the couch as soon as he entered the office. “To what do I owe the honor, Ms. Hilton?"

“I am your sister. Stop the nonsense,” Meredith said.

“I am busy. I don’t have time to chit-chat.” Jeremy sat on the couch. His long legs supported against the coffee table.

Meredith was not pleased to see his attitude.

She knew that no one at home could restrict him, and of course not her.

“I asked you to keep Ashlynn on the watch. What happened to that?”

Jeremy was uninterested. “What's more to keep her on the watch? She is always at work. Right, she has been absent recently. I have not seen her in a few days. Corentin is busy too. I guess the two of them are always dating!”

He deliberately annoyed Meredith.

He knew that Meredith had a crush on Corentin, but she saw herself very highly as a rich girl, like she should, except that it attracted people who liked her only for her money. On the other hand, Corentin was not interested in putting in all the effort to impress her.

Meredith got hold of the point where Ashlynn had not turned up to work for a few days. She did not believe that she was always on a date with Corentin.

“Is she sacked?”

“It is better for you to ask Corentin about this.”

Meredith was irritated by his attitude. “Jeremy, you need to get this straight. We are family, and we are together through thick and thin. If I manage to marry Corentin, this will be good for both of us.” “I guess you had mistaken it. It should be the Lloyd family that wants to marry the Hilton family. Is Ashlynn such a threat to you? Are you looking down upon yourself, or are you looking down upon our family?” Jeremy asked.

“The Hilton family has deep roots, but the Lloyd family has great powers. If we can collaborate, that would be a very powerful combination. I am the one who puts so much effort and attention into the family, and I don't even know why I need a brother like you. Beware, if you ever annoy me, I will tell your mother about it!” Meredith stormed away angrily.

Jeremy rolled his eyes. His mother was very fond of Meredith solely because her first daughter, his actual sister, went missing.

He called Meredith from the back. “Are you really confident that Corentin would marry you?”

"Of course, you would not have the confidence, coward.” Meredith left.

Jeremy pouted, then tossed the peanuts into his mouth.

That was why he disliked Meredith, who was too arrogant for her own good

She also thought he was useless.

Nevertheless, he actually knew something about the day that Ashlynn left the office. She was dragged away by Corentin, and Ashlynn did not look good back then.

Could they have quarreled?

After Meredith left the office, she went to see Cory Lloyd.

Her intention was obvious.

Ashlynn was taking a nap while Corentin was going through the documents on the bed.

He turned and saw Ashlynn, who was sleeping soundly. His eyes were filled with happiness.

In eight or nine months’ time, the baby would be born.

When Salvatore was out there back then, he had never thought about starting his own family. After all, he did not have the capacity.

Before Ashlynn entered her adulthood, he was already in contact with various women. He even dated back to when he was around fifteen.

No gang member was exempted from engaging prostitutes and fighting.

His life plans back then were mostly to open a poker clubhouse.

One day, his head was broken by his alcoholic father with glass bottles, and he lay in a pool of blood in the back alley. That was when he met Ashlynn, and that was when his life began. Everything has changed since then.
