Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies novel Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258

That was right, it would not be too much of a fuss to just add a set of cutlery. Only Corentin could say that with a straight face.

“Then what is her identity to earn her a seat on this table? As your lover? Corentin, are you trying to humiliate her?” Meredith asked.

“Did you say I cannot bring any guests beforehand?” Corentin asked everyone.

Everyone went speechless, astounded by Corentin’s logic, though they suppressed their feelings.

Beth was quick to calm down. “Since she is already here, perhaps it’s good to discuss this as well openly. Corentin, did you cancel the engagement because of her?

Corentin was too lazy to even reply.

This was because the answer was already apparent.

Beth asked, “Are you kidding? You are going against the Hilton family for a girl that came from the slum. I really doubt you are capable enough to be the Lloyd family’s heir.”

Corentin’s hands were grabbing the glass and swirling it slowly in his hands. His eyes looking at Beth were dark but cold. “I heard that you were there too when Ashlynn went into the operation theater. Do you mind explaining yourself first?”

Beth looked at Ashlynn.

In fact, she was exposed that night because she thought Corentin would never do much just for a secret lover.

Now, she really felt that Corentin was utterly incapable of thinking straight.

He had the balls to bring Ashlynn here to challenge everyone.

However, it only took Beth a swift second to change her strategy. “I am indeed at fault for not handling this better, so to make amends, I would like to take Ashlynn as my goddaughter.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this, except Corentin, who only reacted with his eyes turning slightly darker.

“Auntie, what are you talking about?” Meredith was the first person to disagree.

Was she joking?

If Ashlynn could become the goddaughter of the Hilton family, then her status would no longer be the girl from the slum. She would be an equal to her!

He would not just let this slide.

However, Ashlynn was unwilling to become Beth’s goddaughter.

She was about to decline the offer. “I am sorry, I…”

“I agree.”

Ashlynn turned her head at the deep voice next to her that replied. She looked at Corentin in shock.

He agreed. Why?

Corentin seemed to be able to sense her shock and questions. His amber–colored eyes looked right into hers. “You should accept this extremely good offer to become the Hilton family’s goddaughter.”

Ashlynn pursed her lips. To accept or not? No, she did not want to take part in the Lloyd family’s matter and definitely not to be involved with the Hilton family.

However, what Corentin wanted was to make her suffer…
