After that, she turned and headed into one of the cafes by the streets.Before Ashlynn could realize what was happening, she was slapped across the face.Enraged by the burning sensation on her cheek, she muttered, "Why you...""You are nothing compared to Ms. Meredith! I'm warning you! Stay away from Ms. Meredith and the Hiltons. If you go to the mansion again, I'm going to poison you!" Aunt Cher said viciously. When Ashlynn did not respond, Aunt Cher shoved at her and said, "Did you hear what I said?"Ashlynn clenched her fists, wondering if she should punch this woman in the face; she then thought of the kindness the Hiltons had shown her and gave up, knowing that Aunt Cher was practically a part of the Hilton Family as well."What, are you going to hit me? Come on, let's see what you are made of!""I wouldn't dare to. After all, one would have to consider the status of the owner before beating their hounds."Realizing that Ashlynn was referring to her as a hound, Aunt Cher w

"You are forcing me to accept this," Ashlynn said angrily."So what if I am? Can you refuse me?" He said, before pulling her over to plant a forceful kiss on her lips.Ashlynn knew that she could not refuse him, or the videos and photos of her would be publicized. If it was all up to her, she could have been able to bury her dog's remains with dignity, instead of wearing its bones as a watch.Corentin was a disgusting man, and she could only numb herself in the nightmare of being stuck by his side.She buried her face in the crook of his neck and pleaded, "Can you just delete the videos and photos? I won't disobey you. I just feel so insecure that those things exist. I keep getting the feeling like someone is going to find them…""No," Corentin said, before pausing for a brief moment. "Haven't you given up on that?""You are not a woman, so you don't understand a woman's pride," she said, knowing that Corentin had never respected anyone. Everyone, no matter their gender or age, w

Desperate to convince them, Corentin pulled Ashlynn closer by the waist and said, "Tell them. Are we married?"Ashlynn could not utter a word at what a sudden turn the situation had taken, but then she remembered about the videos of her that Corentin possessed."Yes. I'm Corentin's wife now," she said.Cory’s head dropped onto his hand as he struggled to breath. The Lloyd Family and the Hilton Family were supposed to be joined by marriage and with what Corentin had done, he had humiliated the Hilton Family."Divorce! You two are getting a divorce!" Cory said, "Corentin, you are only allowed to marry Meredith! Meredith is the only Mrs. Lloyd that I can accept. Don't even think about making this slum-raised woman into my household! I'd rather give up on having an heir!"It was a severe threat, but Ashlynn did not know if it was merely said to appease the Hiltons' anger. After all, Corentin was the only son left of Cory."Are you sure?" Corentin tilted his head to the side and looke

Beth sat by the bed, while Marshall stood next to her.Jeremy hurried back and saw Ashlynn lying in bed. "Did Corentin hit you? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have provoked him."Beth turned to stare at him. "What did you do?"Jeremy looked away.Marshall scowled. "Your mom is asking you a question.""I kissed Ashlynn on the forehead in front of Corentin on purpose," Jeremy confessed."Corentin is far too arrogant and I understand the urge to challenge him, but you should not have gotten Ashlynn involved. What were you thinking?" Beth said mercilessly."I won't do it again..." Jeremy said sheepishly. "What did Corentin do, though? Are you hurt?"Marshall explained what happened earlier and Jeremy blurted out, "Mom, that didn't happen because of me! It was you!""Shut it!" Marshall roared, silencing Jeremy effectively.Beth turned to look at Ashlynn worriedly. "You shouldn't have gotten in the middle of that. What am I supposed to do if you took damage to the bones? Can you tell me wh

"Why are you so kind to me?" Ashlynn asked, emotions overwhelming her."Because we have adopted you, so we-""Are you still going to lie to me?" Ashlynn interrupted her, panting as pain pierced through her chest. "Back when I was little, my adopted parents took a family photo with me and though I was a little older than this little girl in the photos, I can still tell that I looked exactly like her!"Knowing that she could not deceive Ashlynn any longer, Beth closed her eyes sorrowfully and opened them again, tears of regret filling her eyes. "I'm sorry, my Little Crescent. It's my fault that you went missing..."Ashlynn had thought that she might have been mistaken as children could look alike at a young age, but when Beth admitted to it, tears scrolled down Ashlynn's eyes."How did you find out?""Your brother Jeremy found the crescent birthmark on your back and did a paternity test..." Beth looked at her."So, all of you knew and I was the only one in the dark?""Only your d
