Chapter 890
Ashlynn could not fight and simply let him do as he pleased.
Losing control of her body, she followed Corentin from the car to their room. By the time she woke up the next morning, she woke up to the memories of what happened the night before and felt ashamed, but she did not regret drinking or going to the bar. Had she not gone, she would, have never realized that Paul and the others were there.
“Woof!”
She turned around and saw her dog curling into a ball on the carpet, its tail wiggling cheerfully when it met her eyes.
“I will pick you up later.” She needed to clean up.
In the afternoon, she had nothing to do and took her dog for a walk.
To her surprise, she ran into Meredith in front of a luxury brand boutique.
Meredith seemed surprised to see her as well, as she had merely come out to shop with her friends.
“Are you here to shop for clothes as well?” Meredith scanned Ashlynn up and down, noticing all the luxury brands on her body, the shoes Ashlynn was wearing were limited editions and there were only a few pairs for sales all around the world.
However, according to Meredith’s research, Ashlynn was born and raised in a slum and could not possibly afford all these, so it was only natural to assume that Corentin was the one who bought everything for her.
“No. I just happen to be in the area,” Ashlynn said.
“Hey, who’s this? Meredith, I’ve never seen this friend of yours. Are you going to introduce us?” Meredith’s friend instantly noticed Ashlynn’s elegant demeanor and expensive outfit.
“She’s just a new friend, so I didn’t think I needed to introduce her. We have a gathering tonight, so why don’t you join us, Ashlynn?” Meredith said.
“Yeah. It’s Meredith’s birthday. You have to be there as a friend!”
Seeing the hesitation on Ashlynn’s expression, Meredith asked, “You can’t be considering turning me down, can you?”
Meredith’s friend chuckled, “No one would dare to turn you down.”
“I’ll go,” Ashlynn said.
Once Meredith provided the venue, she left with her friends.
Ashlynn knew that Meredith and her friends belonged to the same class and she was no one compared to them, which was why she did not wish to openly cross Meredith. It was just a birthday party, after all.
She checked the time and went on to purchase a gift, as she could not participate in a birthday party empty- handed.
After purchasing the gift, she called Corentin and said, I’m not going back for dinner. Meredith invited me to join her birthday party and I said yes.”
“Should I send a car over?” He asked.
“No. I’m already out. I will just head there directly.”
“Don’t stay out too late.”
Everyone began whispering to one another without hiding their contempt for Ashlynn.
Ashlynn could not understand what was there to be surprised about to learn that she came from a slum. All things aside, her gift was hardly a masstige when it cost hundreds. She had not even bought something this expensive for herself in the past.
“You can have it back. It’s filthy.” Meredith tossed the bracelet onto the ground.
Ashlynn picked it up calmly and said, “Do you really think that I can’t buy expensive gifts as Corentin’s woman? I just thought that this looks nice and bought it for you. After all, things that are expensive aren’t always the prettiest. If you don’t appreciate it, then just forget it.

She met Meredith’s eyes bravely and refused to step down.
“What did you just say? You are Corentin’s woman? My god, did I hear that correctly?”
“What a joke! You should at least try to be convincing if you want to lie.”
“Meredith, I guess she is trying to take your man!”
“As if she has what it takes!” Meredith said. “Corentin, couldn’t possibly be interested in a woman who comes from the slum. I can tell that all the clothes on her are fake and she’s just here pretending to be someone that she’s not!”
“Hey, isn’t that Corentin?” Someone looked over at the entrance.
Ashlynn turned around and spotted the familiar towering figure walking toward them, his majestic demeanor attracting the eyes of all women in the hall.
