"Your assistant is an interesting person. We had lunch before, but she is still so timid." Corentin was wearing a light smile on his face. Anne was surprised. "Only the two of you?" Ashlynn had never mentioned this before. Obviously that meant it was her personal matter. "My car hit hers. I was making compensation," Corentin said briefly.Anne understood. She just did not expect her uncle, the person who was in control of the entire Lloyd Group and even the Athetin city's economy, to have such a big heart. She then thought about Anthony, who shared the similarity of holding immense power and influence. Why were the two so different? They arrived at Corentin's mansion. It was surrounded by hills and the waters, the land was spacious, and it was a priceless property. There were three stories, and each floor had its own balcony. It was very elegant. It was not something that an ordinary person could ever attain. Anne was arranged to stay at Corentin's mansion while the re
"There really is no need for it. Thank you for offering, Mr. Lloyd. I will go back to the room first," Ashlynn said, and then took a bow before turning around and walking away.Corentin went to the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his glasses, and was only satisfied after he looked put together. It was in the afternoon, so everyone was only mildly tipsy, just like Anne was. When Ashlynn returned to the main room, she did not drink anymore. Corentin helped her to block most invitations and half-jokingly said, "Don't you scare away my Anne's personal assistant."The other colleagues did not insist on making her drink either. When Ashlynn woke up, she felt something was off in her room. It was not a regular hotel room. It was spacious, and the interior was luxurious. It was more like a room at a private residence. Ashlynn remembered that she had come out of the hotel and then entered the car together with Anne but had no recollection of what had happened af
When Cory Lloyd saw the girl, his expression changed slightly.Of course, he knew who this girl was. Corentin had already told him about it, and he had mentally prepared for it.Nevertheless, when he finally met her, it felt overwhelmingly heavy. "Dad, this is Anne, Nigel's daughter. Anne, this is Grandpa," Corentin said.Anne knew that she should be calling him Grandpa, but she could not bring herself to do it. Cory pointed to the side and said, "Take a seat!"After sitting down, Cory looked at Anne and said, "You don't look much like your father."Seeing his own granddaughter, not only did he not express any enthusiasm, but he said something like that. Anne did not mind. She questioned, "Do you even remember what my father looks like?"He did not ask a single thing about Nigel all these years, and he probably would not even need to remember his face anymore! "He is my son, I will never forget no matter how many years it has passed. I know you are blaming me and feeling
Oliver was taken slightly aback, he then followed, "Mr. Marwood, what happened?""Someone drugged me. Get someone to investigate!" Anthony's tone was ruthless, and he would not let the person who did this walk on this earth be alive ever again!"What?" Oliver was shocked and immediately requested the bodyguards to investigate it in the room and then called the driver to get the car over. As soon as he hung up, he met Bianca with her friends.Bianca smiled as soon as she saw Anthony. "Anthony, you are here!""Yes." Anthony was suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in him and was not in the mood to chat with her. Bianca only had eyes for Anthony. "Are you going back? Actually, it does not matter if I had dinner already or not. I can go back with you.""Don't need to. I am going back to the office to do something."Oliver could not understand. If he guessed it right, the drug should make all men beasts.Bianca was a perfect bait in front of him, and he could have just brought B
Bianca's car drove to the Royal Mansion. As soon as she saw Hayden, she asked, "Where is Anthony?"Hayden was stunned. "Mr. Marwood is yet to return.""Yet to return?" Bianca could not believe it. Could Anthony really be at the office? Without further ado, she turned back to her car, slammed on the accelerator, and sped away.No matter where Anthony was, she was determined to find him. At that moment, only she could be with him. Other women should not have a chance at all! However, when she arrived at the Archduke Group, she was also informed that Anthony was not around either. Why? He was not at the Royal Mansion, and he was not at the office, then where could he be?Could he be at the hospital?Bianca then went to the hospital. She did not even knock on the door and entered Kathryn's office. Kathryn, who was treating a patient, looked up, "Ms. Faye, what's up?""Has Anthony come here to see you?""Mr. Marwood did not see me. Why? Is he unwell?"Bianca could not let an
Luton? Anne was shocked. She was going to get back tomorrow, why was there someone from Luton looking for her at that time?She did not ask anything but headed back downstairs. Corentin was sitting on the sofa, and the person who was standing there politely was Ivan.Anne immediately went forward. "Did something happen? Could it be my father…" Anne could feel her heart stopping at the thought. Ivan took a pause, and said, "It's the kids."Anne was stunned. Her voice was shaking. "What… What happened?""Ms. Vallois, please follow me back first. I will explain to you along the way," Ivan said. It was related to the kids. Anne could not think of anything else and was desperate to leave. She noticed Corentin next to her. Corentin only waved his hand, signaling for her to get back. On the lawn outside parked a helicopter. It was Anthony's.Anne followed Ivan hastily into the helicopter. Her mind was a mess. What could have happened to the kids? What happened? What did Ant
"Since you are grateful about it, come sit down and drink with me?"Ashlynn knew her capacity for liquor well enough. Plus, she saw the liquor that Corentin was drinking. It was something expensive and strong, not something that she could drink. "I don't mean to make you drink. Just take it as a casual catch-up with me." Corentin took an empty glass and filled some liquor for her. Ashlynn sat down and asked, "Can I really drink that much?""Yes."Ashlynn raised her glass and gulped. It felt so spicy that she covered her mouth. Her tears were forced out. "Uhmm!" Corentin's dark eyes gazed at her, and then he poured her another half glass. "Mr. Lloyd?""You drank too fast. Liquor should not be consumed this way."Ashlynn just wanted to finish up her drink and go.Obviously, Corentin was not so easily entertained. Therefore, she looked at the liquor before her and did not take another gulp. "In fact, I had a marriage."Ashlynn was stunned. She looked at him blankly.
Their wedding photo?Why did he want to show her?As though she was possessed, Ashlynn walked toward the wall. Her hand got hold of a corner of the veil. She held her breath and pulled it down all at once. The veil fell gently to the ground. The wedding photo was exposed. The man and the woman's faces made Ashlynn feel as though she had seen demons. She was so terrified that she took a few steps back.Flashbacks of her memories replayed in her mind. The scenes that she could never forget intruded into her world again. Terrified, she turned her neck around so rigidly as though her neck was rusty. She looked at Corentin, who was wearing a sinister smile. Her soul was so terrified that it left her body. She kept backing away. "You… You…""Say, how should I punish you for not recognizing your own husband?" Corentin, who was no longer in disguise, looked eerily scary. His facial expression was ferocious.No, how could he be Salvatore Yeager? He was dead! "You wished for me
