Chapter 1172

Too bad, Ashlynn betrayed him.

Now, he could consider letting Ashlynn get away with it, for the kid.

The phone on the nightstand lit up, but it did not buzz.

Corentin picked up the phone and saw the caller. Then he went out to answer the call.

“Come here for dinner,” Cory said on the phone.

Corentin hung up. He knew that it was more than a dinner.

He asked the servants to keep Ashlynn on the watch before he left and warned that they would all lose their lives if anything happened.

The servants naturally knew what to do.

The black Bintley was parked in front of the mansion, and the butler went forward to open the door for him.

He bowed and said, “Young Master, you are back. Elder Lloyd is in the study.”

He entered the study, and then tossed his coat onto the couch, and took a seat. What's up?” "Can't I see you for no reason?” Cory took a sip of his tea.

Corentin’s long legs crossed. He was not having much patience to beat around the bush with Cory. He then refused to say a word but only waited for him to tell him.

“Are you busy at work?” Cory asked.

“Socializing and networking, not that you don’t know of,” Corentin said casually while leaning against the wooden couch.”

"Why did I hear that Ashlynn had not been to the office in a few days? Did you quarrel?” Cory asked. "We fought that woman. I have already thrown her out.”

“The pregnant woman is now history,” Cory said.

“We have moved on, but she has not. He will talk about her from time to time.”

“Is it because of something else?”

Corentin’s face was grim, and he looked at him. “What do you think it is? Is this not something that you want? I think it is perfectly normal for someone like me to be hiding a girl at my place?”

Cory did not want to have a row with Corentin.

Even if he did not see eye to eye with this son, this was the only son he had left with

He figured that Corentin would not do something too out of the line either.

The butler, who was standing by the door watching, thought that his young master was a rather tough nut to crack as well.

“I thought you were preparing for the wedding date between the Lloyd family and the Hilton family!” Cory said.

“I told you, we will think about this later.” Corentin’s face was dark.

"You are not young anymore. You should get married now. Plus, just an engagement, not a wedding. The Hilton family has already expressed their stance, and we have to reciprocate as well. If you want to keep your Ashlynn safe in the house, you have to agree to it,” Cory said.

Corentin’s face turned even darker.

The atmosphere in the study was even tenser.

The butler thought this was the scariest that he had ever seen.

Cory asked, “I agree to keep your ex-wife, and you should at least listen to me, right? Don't you forget who rescued you from the big old filthy drain?”

Corentin’s face was dark the whole time, but he did not say anything.

He did not say anything, did not mean that he agreed to Cory's “grace’. He had always been the one fighting for his own chances. He did not mention that because he did not want to burn the bridge. After all, Ashlynn was pregnant now, and he could not afford any mistakes.

So, he did not want to make things worse with Cory.

“Then, you arrange for it,” Corentin agreed.

This caught Cory by surprise.

He did not expect it to be so easy.
