Ch. 1416..1420: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1416-1420

Chapter 1416

It was the first time Anne saw Yuri dressing this way, and she chuckled. “You look pretty cool.”

“Then I’ll dress this way in the future! After all, it doesn’t matter what I wear,” Yuri said.

Anne was about to say something when they heard footsteps outside again.

The people who came in were their companions. When they saw them wearing suits and the men on the ground, they asked, “What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing. We’re just trying to confuse them,” Yuri said, “Go to the other side to search. We’ll go to the left.”

The two companions did not suspect anything and went to the other side.

Yuri and Anne looked at each other and ran to the left.

A corner of the loft blasted as soon as they reached the stairs. Stones flew around, and the entire staircase collapsed.

Anne, who was running forward, could not stop in time and almost fly out.

Yuri was the same, but she managed to grab the window next to her with one hand and Anne with the other. Then, she dragged Anne back as hard as she could.

Anne threw herself directly into Yuri’s chest, and her face turned pale with fright.

“Are you okay?” Yuri asked.

“I’m fine…” Anne gasped and stood, turning around and looking at the big hole under the stairs. Fortunately, you had fast reflexes. Otherwise, I’ll definitely be seriously injured from the fall.”

A few men in suits appeared below, and they immediately threw bombs at the two ladies when they saw them.

Anne and Yuri retreated to the next room.

“Damn it. We’re blocked, and we can’t escape.” Anne frowned, looking around the room, and found that the window was the only way out.

However, the window was surely high, and they would either be severely injured or die from the jump.

Yuri pushed the window open, hinting to Anne to take a look.

Anne saw the escape ladder installed on the wall and immediately understood what to do.

They heard the hurried footsteps sounds outside, and Yuri pushed Anne. “Go down first.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll be right behind you. Quick!”

“You should go ahead first. I’ll cover you!”

“Stop talking! Hurry up!” Yuri pushed her eagerly, pushing her out of the window.

Anne had no choice but to climb down the escape ladder.

One meter down, she heard the sound of bullets and fighting coming from the room.

However, Anne dared not to stop and kept going down.

Why was Yuri not coming down yet? Was she afraid that she would be discovered?

That was possible. After all, she could be easily knocked down if she was found in mid-air like this.

As soon as she landed, the window exploded with a bang, and flames and stones scattered everywhere. Anne stared at the explosion dumbfoundedly. “Yuri…”

“What are you doing here? Have you found the headquarters?” A man’s voice came from behind.

Anne did not dare to look back. As she was wearing a suit, the man must have thought she was one of them. However, her hair was in braids, and it was just a matter of seconds for the man to notice it.

“Turn around,” the man ordered.

Sure enough, he noticed it.

Anne turned around slowly, judging the position of the gun’s muzzle out of the corner of her eye.

Then, Anne raised her hands, clasped the man’s wrist, and twisted it, turning his back to her and directly breaking his neck.

Just as she killed him, several men rushed over with guns.

Anne was in a daze, not knowing whether to leave because Yuri was not there yet.

Swoosh-

“Let’s go!” Yuri sprinted past her.

Anne immediately recovered her senses and ran after her.

A bomb was thrown at them.

Seeing this, Anne directly pushed Yuri away.

Bang!

Anne only felt her body fly up with the dirt and fall straight into the sea.

Plop!

The water enveloped her, and she kept sinking.

Chapter 1417

Anne lost consciousness and did not struggle Instead, she sank to the bottom of the sea just like a piece of iron.

Half an hour later, the intruders were beaten back. When they counted the number of people, they found that two people were missing-Anne and Yuri.

“Go and look for them!” The man in the robe was rarely angry.

Yet, they were nowhere to be found even after searching the entire deserted island.

Not even their corpses.

“Could it be that they’ve fallen into the sea?” The burly chap guessed, “At that time, someone saw the two of them hiding in the loft. Then, the loft was blown up, so they’re probably dead.”

Even though the man in a robe wore a mask, they could still see his jawline twitching.

“The people I trained won’t die so easily. Go and them again!”

In Athetin.

Ashlynn stayed at the Hilton family’s when Corentin was away for the past two days.

However, Beth and the others were really busy, and it was impossible to accompany her all the time. Hence, she would go out and wander around.

Ashlynn saw an old grandpa selling all kinds of cartoon balloons by the roadside.

Ashlynn thought of her neighbor, who was an old balloon seller. When she was hungry as a child, the old. grandpa would buy her buns.

Ashlynn walked over and said, “I want to buy balloons.”

The old grandpa asked, “It’s two dollars each. You can pick the one you want.”

“I want them all,” Ashlynn said.

“All of them?” The old grandpa was shocked. “Young lady, are you sure you want that many?”

“Yes. I have a lot of siblings,” Ashlynn replied.

“Okay.” The old grandpa gave her all the ropes he was holding.

Ashlynn left after paying.

Walking on the street, she felt satisfied when she looked up at the colorful balloons.

Even though he was not the same old grandpa, it was good enough!

A Bintley pulled up nearby.

Ashlynn watched Corentin get out of the car, stand in front of her, and glance at the balloons. “That’s a lot of balloons.”

“When did you get back?” Ashlynn asked.

“I just arrived.”

Ashlynn thought for a while and gave him one of the ropes in her hand. “For you.”

Corentin saw that it was a pink heart-shaped balloon, and he thought it meant something different.

Then, he took it.

The two stood underneath the balloons, and passers-by could not help but take a second look.

The image of the good-looking man and woman, as well as the romantic balloons, was such a treat to their eyes.

“I don’t think we can take the car with the balloons…” Ashlynn hesitated.

Corentin glanced at the car and said, “Tie them at the back of the car.”

Ashlynn thought it was a good idea and tied the balloons at the back of the car.

However, when she looked up, she saw someone in the crowd pull a gun and aim it at Corentin.

Ashlynn was shocked. “Watch out!”

She jumped on Corentin at the same time the gunshot sounded-

“Ugh!” Ashlynn groaned, falling into Corentin’s arms.

Corentin hugged Ashlynn, his shocked and sharp gaze swept across the crowd.

His subordinates immediately ran to the crowd to catch the culprit.

Seeing that he had missed the shot, the man turned around and ran away.

Corentin hugged Ashlynn. The hand that held her back was wet, and the smell of blood went straight to his nose.

He looked extremely pale and anxious as he carried Ashlynn into the car. “To the hospital! Now!”

Ashlynn was unconscious in his arms, and she was still bleeding.

Corentin was breathing heavily, and his amber eyes were bloodshot.

If it were not for Ashlynn jumping on him, he would be the wounded one.

Chapter 1418

“Without my permission, you’re not allowed to die!” Corentin’s face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth, and his facial muscles were pulsing.

However, Ashlynn’s breathing was weak, and she could not even hear his threats.

Ashlynn entered the emergency room of the hospital as quickly as possible.

Corentin waited outside. He was wearing a black coat, but the white shirt inside and his hands were mostly stained with blood, and it was a shocking sight.

He took a deep breath, and his gaze was a little lifeless. Then, he waved his hand.

One of his subordinates walked toward him.

With a hoarse voice, Corentin ordered, “Block the news, and don’t let anyone disturb her.”

“Yes, Mr. Lloyd.” The subordinate went to do as he was told.

Corentin’s body went weak, and he sat on the bench, staring at his blood-stained hands in a daze.

He could still vividly feel the temperature of the blood flowing from Ashlynn’s body

The image of Ashlynn jumping over to block the bullet shocked him deeply.

Why was she doing this? Did she not want him to die?

Corentin knew very well that Ashlynn was obedient because he threatened her and nothing else!

With a lot of money and the help of skillful doctors, Ashlynn was finally rescued. She was moved to the ward but had not regained consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

Ashlynn’s entire face was pale, including her lips and hands.

The doctor said that if the bullet had missed a little bit, she would have died on the way to the hospital.

Corentin sat on the chair by the bed, staring at Ashlynn’s face without moving like a statue. Even his amber eyes were much darker than usual.

He could not seem to see through Ashlynn.

He did not know what she was thinking.

Why did she do that?

Ashlynn woke up on the morning of the second day. When she opened her eyes, she only saw white flowers everywhere, as if she had gone to heaven.

At this moment, a smear of darkness appeared.

Ashlynn focused her blurred sight and saw Corentin’s face, finally realizing in a daze that she was still alive.

If she were dead, she would not have seen Corentin.

Corentin dabbed some water on her slightly dry lips with a cotton swab, and a trace of water seeped into her mouth from between her lips.

Ashlynn licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and her throat felt much better.

After a while, the doctor came to check on her.

She was recovering well and could have a liquid diet

Before the food was delivered, Ashlynn leaned on the bed and stared at Corentin, who was sitting by the bed.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

“Nothing to say?” Corentin spoke first.

Say… what…” Ashlynn asked weakly.

“Why did you block the gun for me?” Corentin cut to the chase, immediately questioning her.

“I just happened to see…” Ashlynn looked away.

However, Corentin grabbed her face back as soon as she looked over

He did not use too much force.

Gently yet determined.

“I want the truth.” Corentin’s face inched closer to hers.

Ashlynn looked at him helplessly. “I don’t know. Maybe because I don’t want to see you get hurt…”

“Why?”

Ashlynn looked at him and saw the impatience in those amber eyes. Was he so eager to know the answer?

Then, she should tell him….

“If both of us…grew up under the protection of our family, we wouldn’t have to live such a hard life. Later, I have your protection, but who protected you? When you were young, you had to snatch food

from the mouths of wild dogs, or else you would starve to death. Your adoptive parents don’t care about you at all. You grew up in such an environment, so you could only force yourself to become the most powerful villain. In fact, you were actually lonely and afraid. So, I want to protect you for once.” Ashlynn was teary- eyed, looking sincere.

Corentin had no expression on his face, but the hand holding Ashlynn’s face trembled a little, emotions.

exposing his

Chapter 1419

He felt as if his chest had been punched violently and his heart could not stop spasming.

“Do you think I’ll believe in such sweet talks? When you set me up, put me in jail, and got me the death sentence, I didn’t see any sense of mercy in you.” There was a sense of hatred in Corentin’s hoarse voice.

“I didn’t know you’d be sentenced to death at first. I just wanted for you to turn a new leaf and use the divorce agreement to provoke you….I didn’t expect that you’d be sentenced to death. I’m sorry.” Ashlynn repented. She lifted her hand and carefully grabbed Corentin’s fingers. “Salvatore, I will always remember how good you are to me. What I saw comes from the bottom of my heart as well. I hope… you can live well and be happy for the rest of your life.”

Corentin stared at her. His gaze was so sharp as if it was about to bore through her body and soul.

After a minute that seemed like ages, he released his hands, got up, and left the ward.

Ashlynn breathed heavily in relief as the pressure on her body was pulled away.

She turned her face and looked at the closed door with her mind in a mess.

Then, she leaned on the pillow without any strength.

What she said, of course, was false. She used such a dangerous and extreme method to make Corentin soft-hearted, and she won the bet

As long as she was not dead, it would be a win for her.

When she thought about it, she was quite a scary person herself. She became just the same as Corentin

Was this the proof that the person who keeps company with the wolf will learn to howl?

No, how could she possibly be similar to Corentin? She just wanted to protect her reputation.

She would truly have a mental breakdown if those videos and photos leaked.

When Corentin’s subordinate came, he saw him sitting on the bench next to the ward without moving a muscle and his mood seemed off.

“Mr. Lloyd?” said the subordinate.

“Have you gotten the result?”

“It’s a person from the deserted island. He managed to run away, but we are still looking into it,” said the subordinate.

“Do whatever you must to find that person!” Corentin’s gaze was eerily cold.

“Yes!”

When the food was delivered, Corentin sat by the bed and fed Ashlynn spoon after spoon.

Ashlynn did not want to eat anymore after having half of the food.

Corentin did not force her. “Finish it later.”

Ashlynn asked, “Do my parents know? Don’t tell them. I don’t want them to worry.”

“As your parents, it’s their job to be worried about you.” Corentin’s logic was different from others.

“Isn’t it enough for you to be by my side?” said Ashlynn with a pout.

Corentin’s gaze deepened when he saw her looking so adorable and he did not say anything.

Clearly, he was pleased with her words.

Just as Ashlynn wanted to look at Corentin, her vision was blocked by a shadow.

Her soft lips were flattened and she could not breathe.

Corentin’s thin lips were rubbing against hers and taking away her breath.

After Ashlynn regained her senses, she turned her face away. “I haven’t brushed my teeth….

He pulled her face back as soon as she turned away. “It’s fine.”

The kiss continued.

Ashlynn endured his kiss uncomfortably.

The bitter taste in her mouth due to her being sick was completely gone.

It was completely replaced by Corentin’s taste.

He only let her go after he filled her entire mouth with his taste.

Ashlynn’s face was flushed. She did not know if it was because of the kiss or if she lacked oxygen.

She looked at him with her watery eyes.

As if she was dazed and also complaining.

Ashlynn lowered her gaze. “Who is trying to kill you?”

“I don’t know. I will have my men continue looking into it.”

Ashlynn did not say anything anymore.

The number of people that Corentin has offended was countless.

Chapter 1420

It was absolutely terrifying.

She lifted her hand and gently touched his wrist. “Don’t let yourself get hurt.”

“I should be the one saying that.” Corentin’s gaze looked profound. “Got it?”

“I can’t stand idle when you’re in danger,” said Ashlynn.

Corentin’s heart skipped a beat. After staring at her for a few seconds, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “If it was someone else standing next to you yesterday, would you also risk your life like that?”

“No.”

Corentin watched her even closer as if he wanted to uncover all of her expressions and emotions.

After that, he put Ashlynn in his arms and his hand avoided the injury on her back.

Ashlynn nestled in his arms without moving.

She felt Corentin’s strong heartbeat.

It seemed to be very, very close to her….

After that, the phone was left at Ashlynn’s side, and the Hilton family would call her almost every day, but she kept saying she would not be going over and she was dating Corentin.

They believed her at first, but not anymore after that.

“Where are you? I’ll go visit you now.” Beth was not so easily fooled.

“No, I’m not home!”

“What are you doing out there? Shopping? Why didn’t you ask me to come along? I’m not so busy now” Beth left the phone in her left hand and signed the documents her subordinate handed her with her right hand.

“I’m just having tea with a friend.”

“A friend from the past?” Beth asked, “Is it a person living in the slum?”

…Yes. We happened to bump into each other, so we’re having tea. I’ll go home later.”

“Send a video for me to see.”

Ashlynn was speechless. She was having a headache. She turned her face and looked at Corentin, who was sitting on the couch reviewing the documents without making a sound.

He knew who she was on a call with, but he did not seem to notice that she was in a difficult position.

Therefore, he looked like he was completely unconcerned.

“Ash, are you lying to me? What exactly are you occupied with? If you don’t tell me, I’ll rush to The Lloyd Group now Beth was assertive.

“No I’m just a little unwell, so I’m at the hospital.”

Beth’s expression drastically changed and asked in a hurry, “What did you say? Which part of you is unwell?”

Ashlynn had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened.

“What? You took a bullet for him?” Beth tried to calm herself down. “Which hospital are you at? I’ll go right over.”

Ashlynn knew she could not stop her so she told her.

After the call ended, Ashlynn lifted her head, and both Corentin and her eyes met.

“So my mother is coming over now. Can you…leave for a while?” asked Ashlynn.

“Why?”

“Just for a while.” Ashlynn glared at him. “My mom would surely be criticizing you. It’s better for you to not be present.”

When Beth, Marshall, and Jeremy came, Ashlynn was sitting on the bed alone in the ward.

After being hospitalized for a while, her body was already much better and the color on her face has also been restored.

Otherwise, if Beth were to see how her daughter looked on the day she was hospitalized, she would be so frightened that she would not be able to sleep.

“How are you feeling now? Are you still in pain? What did the doctor say? Would there be any complications?” Beth asked all sorts of questions as soon as she came.

“I’m fine. Really. You don’t have to worry. I’ll be discharged in a couple of days. There won’t be any complications.”

Ashlynn felt warm and fuzzy when she saw her parents and her brother looking worried and anxious.

It felt really good that her family cared about her.

It felt as comfortable as bathing in the sun in winter.

Marshall said, “As long as you’re fine, and make sure to recuperate properly.”

Jeremy frowned. “Where’s Corentin? You took a bullet for him, yet he’s not here keeping you accompanied?”
