You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 372

"Mom, Skylar treats me well. Marrying him will definitely bring me happiness. Please rest in peace."

Coralie joined the conversation.

They went on talking endlessly.

Hera stood by the side, without saying a word.

When they came out of the cemetery and sat in the car, Hera finally said, "Coralie, please don't blame

me. I've always wanted to tell you about your biological mother, but I don't have the courage."

"Mom," Coralie spoke while holding Hera's hand, "You will always be my mother. No matter what

happens, this will not change."

Although the Chariott family was not wealthy, they were very blessed. There were no shortcomings or

traumas in Coralie's childhood, and that was the best.

Hera looked at Skylar and said, "Skylar, do you still remember the jade pendant you saw in Coralie's

photo album back then? That jade pendant was given to Coralie by her biological father. He is in B

City."

Hera was not aware that Coralie had long realized her background, and she wanted to take this

opportunity to tell Coralie everything.

Before Hera could say anything, Coralie chimed in, "Mom, I have met my biological father, and I know

about what happened between my mother and him. Although he gave me life, he did not raise me. My

life has nothing to do with him."

Coralie did not have much affection for Houston, even though he was her biological father.

"You have met him?"

Hera did not expect that Coralie had already met Houston.

"Yes, I did. When I went to B City for a business trip, he recognized me immediately because I looked

so much like my mother."

Coralie did not intentionally hide the truth from Hera.

After hearing her words, Hera nodded and said, "Yes, your mother and I were like sisters. When you

were a child, I didn't think that you resembled her. But as you grew up, I found that you looked more

like Madison. Your tempers are similar too."

"Yes, I've heard, and I know that my mother was a great woman. I'm very grateful to her. After knowing

that Houston deceived her, she decided to leave him, and yet she still decided to keep me..."

If Madison did not carry on with the pregnancy after leaving Houston, Coralie would not be here today.

"Well, Madison and I were classmates, and we had a close relationship. When she went to B City, I

visited her and even had a meal with Houston. However, I did not expect..."

Every time Hera thought of Madison, she could not help but sigh.

In her opinion, Madison was an excellent person, but she died at a young age because of a scumbag.

It was such a waste.

"Yes, Mom, I have nothing to do with the Zac family in the future. I am the daughter of the Chariott

family, and I am your daughter."

Coralie said with certainty.

"Yes, you will always be my daughter."

Hera held Coralie in her arms and realized that she was overly sensitive. She was worried that Coralie

would look for her biological father after knowing the truth.

The auction was on the next day.

This time, Coralie followed Skylar into the legendary VIP lounge. The last round when she auctioned

her bracelet, she was only seated at the bottom, looking up at the VIP lounge, but that day, she was

sitting inside.

There were dedicated service staff members in the VIP room, who served them tea and coffee and

assisted with the bidding.

When she sat inside and looked through the auction list, she realized that the diamond was at the

bottom of the list. She couldn't help but persuade Skylar, "Skylar, if this ring gets too expensive, can we

stop bidding?"

"I'm only getting married once in my life. I'm not afraid to spend more."

Skylar knew that Coralie was worried that he would spend too much money, but he had already

decided to give Coralie the best diamond. How could he give it up so easily?

Besides, the price of this diamond was completely within his range.

"But others usually buy a diamond ring for hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet this is worth tens of

millions of dollars... It's not worth spending so much money on a diamond ring."

Upon hearing from the manager of the auction house that the diamond would cost 30 to 40 million

dollar at the auction, Coralie made up her mind to persuade Skylar to give up on the diamond ring.

"This is a good deal."

"How is this a good deal?"

When Coralie heard Skylar said it was a good deal, she could not understand what he was thinking.

"Think about it. D- grade diamonds are colorless diamonds. I checked it the other day. This kind of

diamond has a lower chance of being produced than a 40-carat diamond, and diamonds are

nonrenewable resources. Diamonds are becoming fewer in quantity due to mining activities, and it will

become more and more expensive. Don't you think it is worth buying?"

Skylar gave Coralie an analysis.

In actual fact, he did not investigate it at all. Instead, he played on Coralie's miser-mentality and used

this to fool her.

However, Coralie did not know these things. After hearing what Skylar said, she immediately looked it

up on her mobile phone and found that the D-grade diamonds were indeed fewer. Since they were

fewer in quantity, they might become more expensive.

"This is really the case..."

Coralie nodded as she read.

After hearing Coralie's words, Skylar breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified that what he said was

not written on the Internet, and Coralie would get so angry that she would not allow him to bid on it.

"Of course, I will not lie to you." Skylar took Coralie into his arms and put her phone aside. "Okay, the

auction has begun. Let's see if you like anything else. I'll buy it for you."

He was afraid that Coralie would find something that was inconsistent with what he said.

"There's no need for that. Just bid on the diamond ring." Coralie was in no mood to look at other things.

She only looked at the diamond ring they were going to bid and said, "I will keep this ring with me. Is it

alright if we sell this ring if your company is in urgent need of money in the future?"

"Yes, we can."

Although Skylar had said so, he had already made up his mind. Even if Skyton Corporation closed

down and went bankrupt, he would never sell the diamond he had given to her.

The auctioned items would either be auctioned away or kept for future bidding during the auction. It

was finally time to auction the diamond ring after two hours.

At the time of the diamond ring's auction, the manager of the auction house specially came to Skylar's

VIP room to remind them.

"Our final auction for today's item is from the most famous Tanzanian diamond mine..."

The host gave a detailed introduction of the diamond ring, such as the origin, carats, purity, color grade,

cutting, etc.

At the same time, he also did not forget to mention that the diamond ring was an unreserved auction.

"10 million!¹' Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

When the host had just announced the start of the auction, someone already named their price.

"12 million!"

"13 million"

Anyone from the industry would know the value of this diamond, including its appreciation value.

Therefore, the buyers were eager to buy the diamond, and they would continue bidding.

"Aren't you going to bid?"

When Coralie saw Skylar was sitting next to her, watching the intense competition with a calm

expression, she couldn't help but ask that.

After reassuring Coralie, Skylar turned around and asked the VIP lounge service staff, "How many

people are there in the VIP lounge today?" "Three."

The service staff member next to him replied.
