Chapter 1078
The next morning, breakfast did not come, and lunch was skipped as well.
At five in the afternoon, Ashlynn stumbled down the stairs to grab food on her own. She was exhausted and drenched in sweat when she was on the first floor.
“Why are you down here, Ashlynn? I thought your leg was injured.” Tina walked over.
“I’m worried that the servants will forget about delivering food to me again, so I came down to eat.” Ashlynn turned toward the dining room.
“Hang on.” Tina blocked her way. “You should head back upstairs, Ashlynn! If something happens to your leg, you are going to cause Mr. Lloyd more trouble, and he will be upset.”
“He’s the one who’s going to be upset. Who are you to say anything about this?”
“Why you…” Upset, Tina continued, ‘Ashlynn, you have no power here, and you won’t get anywhere with just a pretty little face. I advise that you stay out of my way, or I will make Mr. Lloyd chase you out.”
“Impressive. Why don’t you try? I’m excited to see how it turns out.” Ashlynn shoved her aside.
“Ah!” Tina was startled as she had not expected Ashlynn to push her. Thankfully, the maid behind steadied her. “How dare you push me, Ashlynn? Don’t you know that I’m pregnant with Mr. Lloyd’s child? If something happens to the future heir of the Lloyd Family, you will suffer for it!”
Ashlynn ignored her and continued to move toward the dining room.
Enraged from being ignored, Tina reached out to grab Ashlynn’s hair, but before she could touch Ashlynn…
“What are you doing?”
The dark voice startled Tina, and she immediately dropped her hand.
Ashlynn turned around in confusion and looked at Corentin, who appeared furious. She glanced at the terrified look on Tina’s face and realized that Tina must have been trying to do something to her when she was not looking.
Corentin walked over and glared at Tina. “Are you deaf?”
“I… I was about to help Ashlynn out. I didn’t want her to fall,” Tina explained hastily.
“Get back into your room.” He narrowed his eyes dangerously.
“But… I haven’t eaten…” Her voice faded toward the end of her sentence as the anger in Corentin’s eyes intensified. She turned around and left the living room before entering her room.
Ashlynn watched as Tina left and was lifted off her feet before she could respond.
“Don’t…”
“Who told you to come down here? I told you to eat in your room.” Corentin carried her into the dining room and placed her on a chair before scanning the servants around them. “Did no one deliver food to you?”
All the servants kept their heads bowed, not daring to say a word.
“They did,” Ashlynn said.
Tina was furious when she returned to her room.
‘Why did he send me back to my room? I am the one who’s pregnant with the heir of the Lloyd Family! I’m the most important woman here!‘ she thought.
When the maid brought the food inside, Tina flipped the tray without hesitation in rage.
“How do you expect me to eat? I don’t have an appetite!”
The maid did not respond and simply headed out to the dining room. “Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Sparks threw the food away and said that she doesn’t have an appetite.”
“Let her starve, then,” he said.
“She’s pregnant with your child. Don’t do that.” Ashlynn turned to the maid. “Send her another set of meals.”
