You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 157

Hearing how he had just addressed her, Coralie Chariott was dumbfounded. It never crossed her mind

that Skylar would still call her that.

"Skylar, you..."

Tears sprang to her eyes.

She was aware of Skylar's kindness to her. She was not stupid. Of course, she knew everything.

However, none of that mattered now. Anthony Holland had made himself clear just now.

"We haven't divorced yet. I could still call you that."

He then kissed her. Perhaps it was because of his injury, his kiss was very light and tender.

Coralie was struggling in her heart. She loved this man deeply. However, they were two people from

two different worlds.

When the man pulled himself back from the kiss, Coralie immediately pulled him back into her arms.

She buried her face in his chest and muttered, "Skylar, apart from my family background, what must I

do so that I could continue to be your wife..."

Apart from her immutable family background, what must she do so that she could continue being his

wife?

Coralie had made up her mind when she was talking with Anthony just now. She had planned to

apologize to Skylar and leave right after. However, Skylar was the last thread that was still pulling her

in.

Love was never a one-sided effort.

"You don't have to do anything. I'll do it."

In fact, Skylar knew that Coralie being here at this moment had already meant that she was willing to

withstand the pressure from the Holland family and the Rae family.

Furthermore, he was the one who had involved Coralie in this matter.

"But... what about the Rae family..."

The Rae family was also esteemed in A City. Even though Skylar's Skyton Corporation was developing

well, it still couldn't compete with the Rae family.

"Hector will definitely reconsider the engagement because of the smuggling case,"

Skylar thought for a while and decided to tell Coralie about it.

Indeed, when Coralie knew that it was Skylar who had framed himself on purpose, she was taken

aback.

"It's you..."

"Shh."

Skylar pressed his finger against the woman's lips.

In fact, his purpose was to break off his engagement with Valerie Rae. If Hector Rae were to find out

Skylar was the one behind it, who knew what he would do.

At this moment, Lillian Ford rushed into the room suddenly. When she saw Coralie sitting next to Skylar

and acting lovingly, she shouted, "You both are trying to kill Valerie. I was wondering why Valerie was

hurting herself again. It's you again, Coralie!"

"Mom! I was the one who asked her to come and for Valerie to go out."

When Skylar saw Lillian rushing over, he instinctively wanted to protect Coralie but he was

unfortunately encumbered by his injury. It was hard for him to get out of bed.

"Skylar, don't move."

Lillian wanted to drag Coralie away, but when she saw her son struggling to get out of bed, her distress

peaked immediately.

"Did Valerie hurt herself again?"

Skylar looked at Lillian and asked.

"That's right. I don't know where she got the knife from. She cut her arms and blood was all over the

corridor!"

Lillian looked at Coralie with anger. She snapped at Skylar, "Skylar, no matter how much you love

Coralie, you mustn't play with Valerie's life. You know that she is sick. Why wouldn't you wait for her to

recover first? Then, you both could continue your relationship as you like, and I promise that I won't

interfere anymore."

Coralie really didn't expect Valerie to hurt herself again. She looked and acted normal, including when

she was in the company.

"Honey, you should head back first. I'll take care of this."

Skylar deliberately called Coralie 'honey' in front of Lillian.

Lillian's face fell when she heard him addressing Coralie in such an affectionate way.

Coralie replied, "Okay. Take care of yourself, I'll go first."

......

Before Coralie left, she saw the blood splattered all over the corridor ground and it frightened her. It

seemed that Valerie had slashed her vein. There wouldn't be so much blood otherwise.

However, she didn't know what she should do. Thus, she went to the police station first.

When she arrived at the police station, Coralie learned about the situation.

Howard Schultz took her card that day and went to the nearest ATM to withdraw the money. After that,

he even robbed a passer-by before he disappeared.

Then, the policeman took out a transparent bag. There was a delicate iron thing in it.

Coralie recognized it at a glance. It was the thing that fell to the ground after Howard unlocked the door

that day, "This is..."

"This is the tool that the criminal had used to tamper with the lock on that day."

The police explained.

Speaking of this, Coralie seemed to have remembered something, "I locked the door that day, but he

opened it so easily."

"There was a thief who used the same tool recently. According to our investigation, Howard was locked

up with that man during his prison days. After interrogation, the thief admitted that he had taught

Howard that trick to unlock doors."

The policeman's words explained why Howard had managed to open the door in such a swift way that

day.

"Is he... caught now? Will he come for me again?"

Coralie was not worried about herself, but rather for the safety of her brother and mother.

"Not yet, but he is already a wanted criminal in the whole city. We have sent people to keep an eye on

the prisoner's mother. If he happens to return home, we will know," The police added, "You should

change your lock into a better one that is harder to tamper with. It has stronger security. Although it is a

little expensive, it will take him several hours to open it, and he might even end up failing."

That was the advice the police could offer.

When Coralie came out of the police station, her phone rang.

She glanced at it and found that it was Joanna Thomas .

However, no matter what, she had to pick up the phone.

"Hello."

"Coralie, the management had asked me to relay to you that in the future, you don't have to come for

work at Skyton Corporation any more."

She sounded exultant across the line.

"What do you mean? Am I fired?"

"No. It's just that the leader had heard about your house is in the southern rural area. In order to make

it convenient for you, he had arranged for you to work as an accountant in a factory. Of course, the

salary is also according to the standard there."

"Factory? Which?"

Although Skyton Corporation had several factories, there were only two in the southern rural area.

They were basically abandoned factories.

"Southern Court Warehouse."

When Joanna said that, the suppressed laughter in her tone was obvious.

The Southern Court Warehouse was a liquidated factory. Almost all of their workers were laid off.

Coralie had heard before that there were only a few people who were left guarding the factory...

The only reason they had transferred her to that place was so that she could resign willingly.

"I see."

Coralie hung up the phone, complicated feelings afflicting her.

If she were to work in the Southern Court Warehouse, she might not even get 2000 dollars a month.

She couldn't afford her family's living expenses at all. However, if she didn't do it, then she and Skylar...NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
