Ashlynn examined his grip and clenched her hand even tighter as if trying to break it.
The pain was written all over her face.
When Corentin noticed the strength he was using and relaxed his grip slightly, Ashlynn took the opportunity to pull her hand away and stand up, moving to the side.
“Salvatore, even though I went to a prestigious school and have a bright future ahead of me, I still value traditional values and hope to lead a simple life. If you care about me, please don’t embarrass me and give me the freedom to make my own choices.”
Corentin’s amber eyes glared at her, resembling a wild wolf in the forest as he bared his bloody fangs. Ultimately, you still decided to leave me!”
Ashlynn asked, “Do you really think we’re a good match? Our personalities will never align. I’ve made up my mind and I won’t be returning to the mansion. I’ll live with my parents instead.”
After saying this, she turned and left the room.
As soon as her hand touched the doorknob, Corentin’s rough and eager voice called out from behind,” Have you truly thought this through? Don’t forget. I have a video of you in my possession!”
Ashlynn’s grip on the doorknob tightened as she was filled with panic. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She tried to steady herself and said, “Whatever…”
Corentin’s eyes momentarily narrowed in surprise at her response.
Ashlynn stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her
Ashlynn closed the door and went to her own room, her nervousness and unease evident in how she rushed there.
She was panicking when she said those words.
What if… Corentin actually released the video and photos?
Would she still have the courage to face the consequences?
However, the desire to stay away from Corentin was so strong, and the time felt like it was dragging on forever.
Just as she arrived at the door of her room, Beth, who had gone to find a doctor and returned, asked, Where did you go? You shouldn’t be running around? Do you feel dizzy or uncomfortable?”
“No, I… I went to see Corentin.”
Beth understood the situation and took Ashlynn’s hand to lead her back into the room. “Even if you go, you should have someone accompany you!”
“I’m fine, really. The doctor said it was just a skin injury,” Ashlynn said.
Her family members were worried, and they had to stay and keep an eye on her in case any later symptoms emerged.
“Be careful.” Beth said, and then asked, “You can be discharged from the hospital today. Did you tell Corentin that you will be staying at the Hilton’s house for two days?”
Ashlynn nodded. “Mom, there’s something I want to tell you…”
Jeremy, who had just walked in, paused. “Do I need to leave the room for this?”
Ashlynn said, “No. Everyone needs to know. I’m going to divorce Corentin.”
The Hilton family might have been more understanding if the divorce had happened before this incident. However, with Ashlynn filing for divorce just because of Corentin’s serious injury, Beth and Jeremy could not help but wonder what was going on.
“Of course, we support any decision you make, but can you tell us why? Don’t you… like him? Or did something happen that we don’t know about?”
“Something must have happened, or Ashlynn wouldn’t be acting like this.” Jeremy leaned toward his sister “In short, I have my own reasons, and I really don’t want to continue living with Corentin,” Ashlynn said Beth took her hand and said, “Okay, we will stand by your side no matter what you decide.”
“As for me, I’ve hated Corentin for a long time,” Jeremy said.
As far as this incident was concerned, Ashlynn blocking the gun for Corentin last time should even things out.
