Chapter 1438

“Ah!” Ashlynn was pulled closer to the room and stumbled, falling onto the end of the bed as she glared at Corentin with hatred.

“You know that I won't expose your video photos, so you did this to me?” Corentin sneered darkly. Ashlynn, having been seen through, narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

"You said you love me, was that a lie?” Corentin saw that Ashlynn remained silent. He could not wait any longer and stepped forward, grabbing her by the collar. “Is it true? Tell me!”

Ashlynn’s head was dizzy from his shaking, and tears welled up in her eyes. “If I say I love you, will you let me go?”

“No,” Corentin answered without hesitation.

“Then why does it matter if I love you or not?”

Corentin gasped for breath, his chest feeling heavy as if it was about to explode. The hand that was grasping Ashlynn’s collar tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand twisted horribly. Ashlynn closed her eyes, waiting for Corentin’s possible enraged reaction.

However, after a long minute, he released her neck.

Ashlynn opened her eyes, and the pressure in front of her disappeared.

Then there was the sound of the door opening, and Corentin left.

Ashlynn slid off the end of the bed and sat on the floor, her heart pounding in shock.

What was Corentin going to do?

Corentin had seen through her hypocrisy, so now, what would he do about it?

Just as Ashlynn was about to relax her tense emotions, she heard footsteps at the door, causing her nerves to tense again.

Corentin’s tall figure entered the bedroom and stood in front of her.

Ashlynn’s raised gaze watched him warily, her eyes glowing green in the dim light of the bedroom like a beast in the forest.

Ashlynn felt cold sweat dripping down her back as she leaned against the bed.

Then, Corentin crouched down in front of her, reached out, and a dog landed on Ashlynn’s lap. Ashlynn looked at the soft mass, a little dazed and confused. “Chichi?” She gently stroked its head. “Are you Chichi?”

"Woof!" Chichi called softly, and its round head sniffed Ashlynn's body as if looking for a familiar smell.

“It is alive and well, are you happy now?” Corentin asked.

Ashlynn looked up, met Corentin’s dark and cold eyes, and looked at the bone strap on her wrist with doubt. “Why?”

"Didn't I say I want to change? This is my change.” Corentin touched Ashlynn’s face with his hand, his eyes sincere.

Ashlynn moved her lips but said nothing...

Within the Archduke Group, the entire organization was shrouded in gloom.

The top of the building was always covered with dark clouds, making everyone inside feel suffocated.

No one dared to breathe loudly.

Everyone knew well where the oppressive feeling came from.

It was because when the head of the Archduke Group entered the company, his white hair was so shocking that nobody could believe their eyes.

It was strange that Mr. Marwood suddenly changed his appearance and dyed his hair white. However, no one dared to investigate, always feeling that something terrible had happened. Oliver was reporting work, but he received no response when he was done.

He could not help but look at the man behind the desk.

Wearing an expensive black suit with a deep and sharp aura, that handsome face with sharp edges. appeared distracted and in a daze.

His head of white hair was shocking in the light.

After Mrs. Marwood's accident, Mr Marwood did not even speak unless necessary

The people in the company felt as if he had lost himself
