Ch. 1431..1435: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1431-1435

Chapter 1431

The man took her to the corner of the pool and held her there

There was an iron pipe at the bottom of the pool that was secured in the concrete wall used for water flow

He tightly secured Ashlynn’s hand to the iron pipe using a rope

“What are you planning on doing? Corentin won’t let you go!” Ashlynn struggled and sensed that her life was in danger

However, the rope was tied so tightly to the iron pipe that she could not move an inch and only caused pain to her delicate wrists.

She stopped moving completely.

In fact, she did not struggle with all of her strength.

Otherwise, when she untied the rope on her feet, the man would have kicked her away.

She was also waiting for Corentin to arrive.

She wanted to know what would happen next in the story.

Would Corentin die for her?

If so, would he be willing to reveal the videos and photos?

Ashlynn was calculating her options.

If it were someone else, she might feel guilty.

However, when it came to Corentin, not only did she feel no guilt, but she also felt that it was not enough to relieve her hatred!

Being kind to monsters meant being cruel to oneself!

The man tied her up so that only her neck was above the water, and then opened the water valve next to her.

The water level in the pool rose slowly.

The man was very satisfied with his masterpiece. “I want to see if Corentin will arrive in time to save you before the water covers your head. But I think he won’t make it in time. After all, it’s hard to find this place. There is no surveillance in the slums. By the time he finds his way here, you will be dead.”

After speaking, he climbed out of the pool and prepared to leave.

“You’re just going to leave? I thought you said you wanted to die with us?” Ashlynn asked.

“Even if I do, I want to see you two die first!” The man snorted heavily, turned, and ran away.

The water level in the pool was rising, and as time passed, Ashlynn could feel the water level slowly rising up, covering her face.

It reached her mouth.

The distance from the mouth to the nose was very short, and when it reached her nose, Ashlynn tilted her head back, exposing her nostrils to the surface of the water to inhale oxygen.

However, she could not do this for long.

It was very quiet in the bathhouse, and she could not hear anything with water in her ears.

After a while, the water covered her eyes, the top of her head, and her whole body sank to the bottom of the water

Water surrounded her

Ashlynn could swim, but that did not mean she could breathe underwater

She could not hold on any longer after just two minutes and struggled violently in the water, twisting the rope around her wrist.

Could it be that Corentin really would not make it in time?

Would she really die in this pool?

The oxygen in her lungs was depleting, and she began to suffocate painfully.

Her consciousness was gradually fading, the strength of her struggles became weaker, and the sound of water in her ears disappeared.

Ashlynn’s eyes were closed, her head drooping.

Then there was a splash, and someone rushed into the water, causing a stir in the entire pool.

Corentin sank to the bottom of the water, lifted Ashlynn’s face up, pried her lips open and breathed oxygen into her continuously.

Ashlynn became conscious and opened her eyes in a trance, only seeing a blurry figure.

Corentin used one hand to try and untie the rope while he breathed oxygen into her.

The hand holding the rope was like iron, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as he used all his strength to try and untie it.

The rope snapped with a loud bang after three attempts.

Corentin pulled Ashlynn out of the water and held her in his arms.

“Ashlynn?” Corentin’s voice was filled with tension.

Ashlynn opened her confused and powerless eyes. Her face was pale, her soft lips had a delicate red tint as she parted them slightly and said, “…Am I not dead?”

Chapter 1432

When Corentin saw that her life was not in danger, his tense face relaxed, and the corner of his lower lip curled up. “With me here, you can’t die ”

Ashlynn gasped weakly in his arms. Although she did not die, her lungs were burning.

“I’ll take you to the hospital,” Corentin said.

The escaped man was caught and thrown into the bathhouse, his feet slipping and causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

Corentin’s gloomy and terrifying eyes swept over the man. He held Ashlynn in his arms and slowly hugged her “Why dirty my eyes by bringing him here? Just find a place and get rid of him! I don’t care how painful he feels!”

“Yes, sir!”

Ashlynn nestled in Corentin’s arms, not daring to move, and looked at the man slowly getting up from the ground not far away. His eyes were filled with hatred and a desire to kill.

She immediately felt that something was going to go wrong.

Sure enough, in the next second, he pushed away the men beside him, rushed forward, and tore off his clothes.

There were bombs strapped to his body, and it was definitely enough to blow up the entire bathhouse!

Ashlynn’s body stiffened instinctively.

Corentin stepped back. His face turned cold as he tightened his arms around Ashlynn.

He did not expect this person to be so eager to court death!

“You want me to die? Then we’ll die together! Don’t come any closer, or I’ll light it up! We’ll all die together!

The man was holding a lighter in his hand with a crazy expression on his face.

That was what he was talking about.

He had a backup plan.

“What are you trying to do? If you have any demands, tell me.” Corentin’s voice was emotionless and chilling.

“I…I want you to die!” The man was afraid to look into Corentin’s eyes.

He was so frightened he detonated the bomb on his body.

Ashlynn was amazed that he was so determined that even Corentin could not avoid him.

There were several black luxury cars parked outside the bathhouse. People who passed by had never seen such nice cars and lingered, unwilling to leave.

Then, the bathhouse exploded with a loud bang.

The people outside squatted down with their heads in their hands.

When they looked up, the entire bathhouse collapsed.

“What’s going on? Why did it collapse?”

“Is there anyone inside?”

“I don’t know……

Ashlynn felt darkness in front of her eyes and could not see anything clearly She felt a lack of oxygen in her chest and moved, feeling the touch of a person on her body.

“Don’t move…” Corentin’s voice was rough.

Ashlynn listened to his breathing and knew the man was hurt.

As for herself, except for difficulty breathing, she was fine.

She knew she was under Corentin when the house collapsed.

“Corentin, if you die, do you regret doing this?” Ashlynn asked.

Corentin chuckled silently. “Are you moved?”

Ashlynn did not speak.

Perhaps her emotions died along with Salvatore long ago!

She felt a soft and cool sensation on her face. It was Corentin’s thin lips kissing her.

Then, his heavy breath hit her ears. “Don’t worry. Someone will rescue us right away. After we get out, we will have a wedding of the century. I will be a good husband, a good father, and treat you well forever. I will give you a complete home.”

Instead of answering what he said, Ashlynn asked, “Corentin…do you love me?”

Corentin’s thin lips rubbed against her ear, and he said softly, “I only know…I can’t live without you.”

That should be enough, Ashlynn thought.

The prolonged confinement made Ashlynn fall asleep.

When she woke up, she was already in the hospital.

Chapter 1433

Beth sat beside the bed, sobbing softly with her head bowed

Marshall and Jeremy were also there, standing solemnly

“Ashlynn, you are awake? Jeremy was the first to spot Ashlynn opening her eyes dazedly

Beth and Marshall immediately approached and called their daughter worriedly.

“Ash!”

“Dad Mom Ashlynn’s voice was hoarse.

“Hurry up, call the doctor,” Beth urged frantically.

Jeremy had already rung the bell.

The doctor came to check her out.

Ashlynn learned from the doctor that she only had a minor scrape on her arm and nothing serious.

Anyone who saw her family’s reaction would have thought she was seriously injured.

After the doctor left, Beth held her slightly cold hand and said, “Although the doctor said you’re fine, you still have to tell me if you feel uncomfortable, okay?”

Ashlynn looked around the private ward and asked, “Where’s Corentin?”

Jeremy said, “As a former subordinate, I went to see him. He had some internal injuries, but they were not serious. He’ll be able to be discharged from the hospital after staying for a few months.”

Ashlynn knew Corentin was hurt rather badly.

He was lucky.

Under normal conditions, he would have died if the bathhouse had collapsed like that.

“I didn’t expect Corentin to protect you with his own life. When he recovers, let’s go to the Hilton’s house for dinner!” This incident changed Beth’s opinion of Corentin.

Ashlynn had other opinions though.

She did not plan to live the rest of her life with Corentin.

She would take what she needed and leave.

However, she said nothing.

Ashlynn went to Corentin’s ward while the family was away.

Corentin was half leaning on the bed with his eyes closed, giving off a sharp and hostile look.

The mobile phone was placed by the bed so that he could control the affairs of the company at any time.

Ashlynn walked to the bed, looked at the motionless Corentin, and asked, “How long are you going to pretend to be asleep?”

Corentin opened his eyes and stared at her for a moment. “You saw through me?”

“I came to see you. I heard from my mother that you suffered internal injuries. Fortunately, your life is not in danger You should rest well in the hospital.”

Corentin patted the edge of the bed.

Ashlynn moved closer to him.

Corentin pulled her hand over, and she fell into his arms. “I’ve been in the hospital for a few days, and you’re here only now? I saved your life. Shouldn’t you be more thankful?”

“I’m a little dizzy,” Ashlynn said.

“Dizzy? From the concussion?” Corentin raised her face, looked at her expression, and frowned with

concern.

“That was two days ago, and I’m fine now. My mother won’t let me out of bed. Also, I’m here to see you, and there’s something else I want to tell you,” Ashlynn said quietly, meeting those amber eyes.

“What is it?”

“I want a divorce.”

The hand that slid across her face froze, and Corentin asked, “What did you say?”

Ashlynn got up from him. Just as she got up, Corentin yanked her and pulled her back down on top of him.

With that strength, it was impossible to tell that he was lying on a hospital bed.

He pinched her jaw and raised it. “I just saved your life, and you want a divorce? Ashlynn, are you that heartless?”

“If I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t have tried to shield you from a bullet.”

Corentin’s expression was gloom and anger as he struggled to keep his emotions in check “Give me a reason why!”

“It’s too risky to be with you. I don’t want to live in fear like this constantly” Ashlynn had already come up. with an explanation.

“I’ll make sure to protect you and prevent situations like this from occurring again.

Chapter 1434

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.

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.

Chapter 1435

After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she returned to the Hilton’s house and had no further involvement with the Lloyd family

However, she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

She kept a close eye on her phone, worried about any videos or photos that might appear online.

She was terrified at the thought of any potential scandals.

Fortunately, a week had passed, and she had not seen any unfavorable videos or photos, nor had she received any calls or threatening text messages from Corentin

Ashlynn wondered if her plan was working.

As she descended the stairs at night, she saw Beth preparing to go upstairs.

Looking down, she saw Corentin in the hall, accompanied by Marshall and Jeremy. They were all sitting on the sofa, and the atmosphere seemed okay.

Ashlynn froze on the stairway, her fingers gripping the railing tightly.

Beth came up to her and said in a low voice, “Are you awake? I was just coming to check up on you. Go back to your room, and we’ll handle this.”

Ashlynn looked down and said, “No, we have to talk.”

She still did not want to argue with Corentin and thought it would be best to handle things calmly

However, what exactly was Corentin thinking?

Was he really just here for the divorce? There was no need for all of this, and he could have just sent a lawyer…

It was clear that this man was not easy to deal with.

As she entered the lobby with Beth, Corentin’s eyes kept drifting over to her “Is your body okay? I came as soon as I was able to.”

“You were seriously injured too and should rest more,” Ashlynn said.

“No matter how serious my injury was, it can’t compare to yours,” Corentin said as if no one else was in

the room.

His persistent stare, which seemed to be able to see through her, made Ashlynn feel uncomfortable, and her hands and feet went cold.

Corentin glanced at his wrist to check the time and asked her, “Are you hungry?”

It was dinnertime, so it was likely that she was hungry.

Corentin had no intention of leaving, so Marshall had to entertain him politely.

Everyone at the table behaved in a dignified manner.

Eating a meal does not necessarily mean anything.

Ashlynn did not say anything either.

Presumably, the most comfortable person at the table was Corentin.

Ashlynn was also distracted and could not wait to find out what thoughts this man was hiding.

Why was he showing no emotion? Was it possible that…

After dinner, Ashlynn pulled Corentin outside and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to bring you back.”

Ashlynn’s expression changed slightly as she tried to calm herself down. “Salvatore, I made it very clear in the hospital that you and I. we should divorce.”

“It’s impossible for me to divorce you.” Corentin interrupted her bluntly and pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. The transparent lenses could not hide the shadows in his persistent eyes.

Ashlynn knew that things would not be so simple. She turned her face away and said, “No matter what you say, I will never live with you again.” As she spoke, she started to walk home.

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist.

Corentin’s palm was hot and hard, like iron.

Ashlynn’s heart immediately jumped to her throat.

Was he going to get physical with her here?

“How do you want me to do so that you are willing to come back with me?” Corentin’s voice softened.

Ashlynn could not help but be surprised, suspecting that she had misheard.

Turning to face him, she saw that his amber eyes were full of compromise, depression, and unwillingness… Was this an emotion that Corentin was capable of showing?

“Salvatore, the two of us are not suitable at all…

“Is it that I’m not suitable, or is it because I’m not the real Corentin and am not worthy of you?” Corentin held back his anger.
