Chapter 1001
“You know that the Lloyd Family didn’t get this powerful from legal businesses, right? They have the Lloyd Group now, but they started off doing illegal things that a normal person would not be able to accept. Nigel was too gentle to be a part of it. In the end, he got into a fight with Cory and left home.”
Ashlynn listened to Gavin as he listed all the dark history of the Lloyd Family in fear and once again realized what a different world the Lloyds lived in.
She leaned against the wall helplessly.
“Which is why you should stop investigating,” he said.
“I thought you were here to help me.” Ashlynn was not willing to give up as she would never be content with being Salvatore’s wife.
“The reason that I managed to stay in the Lloyd Group is that I know my place.” The real Corentin had helped Gavin, but Gavin still needed to survive. Crossing the Lloyd Family could not end well for him and he knew better than to act rashly.
Ashlynn did not force him to do anything as everyone had the right to their own choices. “Thank you for telling me these, or I would still be looking for the real Corentin .”
“It’s not easy to find people who died in Luton.”
“I know.” She nodded and was about to leave, before adding, “how do I check if my phone has been bugged?”
She could not keep borrowing phones from others and since Gavin worked in the Public Relations Department, he might know something about technology.
“Remove the shell of your phone and if you don’t find any external device on the surface, you just need to do a factory reset on your phone,” he said.
“Thank you.” She opened the door and left.
She had known all the answers to her questions and she could not stay any longer, or the driver would sense that something was wrong.
As soon as she went outside, she spotted the driver in the cafe. “What? Did you think I escaped? You don’t have to keep an eye on me all the time!” She protested.
According to Marco’s investigation, the Lloyd Family had not ceased their illegal activities in the dark completely and she could not help but wonder if the murder of the couple was in any way related to Corentin.
Once she got out of the car, she headed to the dog house and carried her dog into the living room, before handing the coffee beans in her hands to the butler. “These are for Corentin.”
“Sure. I will make coffee for Mr. Lloyd when he comes back.”
Ashlynn did not care and sat down on the couch to feed her dog, since the coffee bean was merely a camouflage.
Her dog did not eat much, so she carried it back to her room after feeding it a small bag of snacks.
Once she was in her room, she removed the shell of her phone and when she did not find anything suspicious, she reset her phone, before making a call to Anne. “Anne, are you busy? There’s something that I need to tell you.”
Anne was working in front of her desk at the time and said, “I’m free now. What’s wrong?”
