Chapter 1276

"I've never once said that Meredith was mine, nor have I announced that she's my fiance. It was nothing but a feast. Did you take it seriously?" Corentin stared down at Beth. Meredith's face burnt with embarrassment as though she had been slapped in the face. "Corentin, how could you say that? You came to dinner with me just to use me?" she asked. Corentin remained quiet. Meredith turned and stormed out while Aunt Cher hurried after her. "Corentin, Ashlynn isn't who she used to be. She is our adopted daughter and a part of our family right now. You have no right to take her," Marshall said. "You want to take her with you? Over my dead body!" Beth said fiercely. The fear within Ashlynn transformed into pure disbelief as she wondered if Beth was doing such a thing for Meredith's sake. After all, nothing good would happen to Meredith if Ashlynn agreed to leave with Corentin. "Are you sure you are not leaving?" Corentin questioned darkly. Her heart raced as she struggled to think.
