Chapter 1278

"Honey, don't shout. I'm going deaf.”

She felt as though she was about to pass out. “You... Delete it... Delete all of it!”

“Do you think it's possible? I have plenty of videos here. Say, if I send these to the Hiltons or play them on the big screen in the Lloyd Group's building, wouldnt that be fun?” he asked cheerfully. Ashlynn was terrified because she knew that Corentin was capable of anything.

“Do you want to try me?”

"Don’t..." she muttered in a quivering voice. “You can't do this, Corentin!”

“I want to see you right now. Don't keep me waiting,” he said before hanging up.

She shivered as she stared at her phone, realizing that she had to return to Corentin’s side as she would rather die than have such a video publicized.

She tried her best to regain her composure. Her only chance was to appear before Corentin as soon as possible. Not daring to delay, Ashlynn opened the door and hurried down the stairs.

“Ashlynn, where are you going?”

She turned around and saw Marshall coming out of the room, realizing that her room was situated next to the master bedroom.

"What happened?” Marshall noticed the dark expression on her face and asked.

Marshall had never said a mean word to her, and Ashlynn had been grateful for it. “I... I'm going back. Thank you for letting me stay. I won't overstay my welcome...”

“We wouldn't have given you a room if we didn't welcome you here. This is your home now, so where are you going? Ashlynn, you are a member of the Hilton Family now. No one can bully you anymore.”

Tears welled in her eyes at his gentle words. She did not want to leave as well, but she could not ignore the video she received from Corentin either.

“I'm sorry!” She bowed before turning to run.

“Ashlynn!” Marshall called out.

She ignored him and darted out of the living room, before running all the way out to the road outside.

She caught a taxi and told the driver to drive toward Corentin’s mansion. Once the car stopped, she got out and headed inside on her own, wishing that the road would never end when a monster like Corentin awaited her at the end of the path.

"Where's Corentin?” Ashlynn asked the servant.

“Mr. Lloyd is by the alligator river.”

Her heart raced at the mention of the alligators as she wondered why Corentin was there.

From a distance, she saw Corentin standing by the cliff with his back facing her. She suppressed the fear that threatened to overwhelm her and walked closer.

“Corentin, delete the video.”

“Is that supposed to be an order?” He turned around and asked darkly.

“You are shameless for taking videos like that!” She retorted angrily, as she had never expected Corentin to be so ruthless.

He stared at her darkly. “Come closer.”

Not daring to approach, she panted and remained frozen in place.

He ran out of patience and darted up to grab her by the throat. “I said, come closer!”

"Ah!" she screamed.

“My words mean nothing to you now, do they? You sure are enjoying your time with Jeremy Hilton, huh?” he roared as he dragged Ashlynn over to the cliff.

“Ah!” She instinctively grabbed onto Corentin’s collar.
