Even as she approached her own room, she found that she had no key and could not get in. She stood at the doorway for a moment before returning to Julie's apartment. She washed up, ate something, changed her clothes, and left. When she came, she had brought nothing with her; when she left, she took nothing. Her driver was there too, opening the door for her. Once she was in the car, Rick said, "Mr. Marwood asked me to wait for you here. Ms. Vallois, are we going to the Royal Mansion now?" Anne was about to say yes, but changed her mind. "To the company." "Ms. Vallois, the company has already been acquired by the Archduke Group," Rick said. "I'll go and take a look," Anne said, thinking that at least the company still existed after being acquired by the Archduke Group. However, when she arrived, she found that the entire two-story building was empty. The desks were still there, but there was not a single employee left. Anne's heart ached as she watched the empty bu

"It is of no consequence what others may think," Corentin declared, implying that the only opinion that mattered was Anthony's. Ashlynn, unable to remain prone any longer, sat up and queried, "Who is the other man?" "Tommy," Corentin replied. Ashlynn gasped in shock. "Isn't that his cousin? How scandalous!" Corentin firmly grasped her waist and pulled her back down onto his sturdy chest, stating, "This is a situation we cannot control." Ashlynn disputed, "Do you simply intend to stand by and watch as they continue to do this?" "Yes," Corentin confirmed without hesitation. Ashlynn's heart sank at his cold, unfeeling response. Of course, this was Corentin she was talking about. He could do anything to anyone, so it was no surprise he would do this to his niece. Corentin was a monster devoid of empathy. Ashlynn, with a glimmer of hope, inquired, "Can the company still be returned to Anne's ownership if it is simply being acquired? It must be possible as long as the com

Owen cursed, "What did he mean by 'we'? It's clear that Mr. Lloyd bought it for me." "It doesn't matter who bought it. Mr. Lloyd can do whatever he wants! Don't make a fool of yourself. Now Sis is pregnant with Mr. Lloyd's child, and you know Mr. Lloyd cares a lot about this child." "All women can have children! The number of women who want to have Mr. Lloyd's kids are countless!" Owen figured that Ashlynn was not a good match for Corentin. "But Mr. Lloyd likes her." Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Paul patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "It's my birthday today, don't be angry. Come in quickly, don't make Mr. Lloyd wait." "Ashlynn is here. How can we make Mr. Lloyd happy?" Owen was furious. "There are several attractive women inside." "You have fun with them then!" "I'm not as good on the bed as Mr. Lloyd," Owen said. After that, he and Paul entered the bar with a smile. The box was decorated, and there were balloons hanging on the wall. Corentin watched a

Owen could not help but say, "Mr. Lloyd, the cards you deal with seem to favor Ashlynn very much, don't they?" As he spoke, Ashlynn was dealt another card, and she busted. Corentin asked him, "Are you sure?" Owen blushed in embarrassment. He hesitated, trying to figure out if he should hit or stay. During the second round, Ashlynn got another ace. In the third round, Owen saw that Ashlynn had a score of nineteen, and there were no more aces in the game. The odds of Ashlynn getting a two were extremely low. Ashlynn chose to hit. She got a two. Owen was dumbfounded! She was making a lot of money here! "How are you so lucky?" Owen asked her incredulously. Ashlynn shrugged. Owen, on the other hand, had lost his bets three times in a row. He was not feeling good. Corentin smiled as the game ended. "Pay up." Ashlynn won the most money. Paul swallowed his words. Owen could not take it anymore and said, "Mr. Lloyd, are you just letting her win?" Corentin stood

"What are you talking about? Who in Athetin wouldn't want to marry into the Hilton family? The Lloyd family is a perfect match. Corentin is the only heir of the Lloyd family, and he has a bright future ahead. Many wealthy families would be jealous of that! You are the only one who doesn't take it seriously. Of course, we Hiltons are not bad either. This is the best arrangement we could ever get," Beth said. "I don't think you need to worry about this matter. Corentin will definitely keep that child. Meredith has the ability to handle this," Jeremy disagreed. "She requires the support of my family, don't you understand that? Go to bed. I hate it when you smell like cigarettes and alcohol!" Beth stormed off. Jeremy knew how Beth felt. She was worried about Meredith, like she was her own daughter. He heard from his father that when his sister died, his mother could not sleep. She cried all day and took sleeping pills every night to fall asleep. It had been that way for a long
