You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 11

Coralie Chariott was stunned, and her eyes were fixed on the emerald bracelet.

The bracelet had a deep green color. Obviously, it was a top-grade piece of jewellery. Her first reaction

was to take it off. "Grandmother, this is too precious. I can't accept it."

Skylar's grandmother held the bracelet, patted her hand and said, "I don't have many years to go. This

bracelet has been kept under the pillow for a long time. I had always hoped that Skye would bring

home a good girl."

"Since grandmother gave it to you, just keep it."

Skylar Holland said.

Coralie nodded. She felt that it wouldn't feel right to refuse his grandmother's kindness.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Grandmother smiled and touched Coralie's hand. "Dear child, you and Skye must live happily

together."

They stayed in Grandmother's ward for the whole afternoon before they left at 6 o'clock to have dinner.

As soon as she walked out of the ward, Coralie took the bracelet off her hand and handed it to Skylar.

"I'm giving it back to you."

"Since it's given to you, you can keep it."

Skylar walked ahead of Coralie and showed no intention of taking back the emerald bracelet.

"Forget about it. Our relationship isn't real anyway. Wait till you have found your true lover then you can

give this to her."

Coralie looked at the bracelet in her hand and smiled bitterly.

Yes, the person he really loved.

Coralie knew that their marriage wasn't real, but she used to have naive thoughts that everything that

had happened between them during college were all real.

Grandmother's words shattered the most beautiful memory she had.

Upon hearing her words, Skylar stopped and turned around. "Just keep it with you, in case

Grandmother gets suspicious when she finds out that you don't have the bracelet with you next time."

His voice was very cold.

"Ah, that's right."

Coralie put on the emerald bracelet again. Her eyelashes were hanging down as she gently bit her lips.

The cold emerald bracelet which did not belong to her, felt exceptionally heavy.

When she followed Skylar back to the car, he took out a contract and placed it in front of her. "Sign it."

"Okay."

Coralie roughly glanced through the title "Premarital Agreement". Without looking at the content, she

turned to the last page of the contract and put down her signature— Coralie Chariott.

"Aren't you going to read it first?"

Skylar seemed to be a little surprised.

Coralie smiled and handed the contract to him. "You have already given me the 5 million dollars, I have

nothing else to ask for."

"Other than money, there isn't anything else to ask for, is it?"

Skylar looked sharply at Coralie, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

She knew that he was looking down on her.

"Yes."

Besides money, she was a divorcee who had to take care of her mother and brother who were lying in

the hospital. What else would she expect from such an excellent man like Skylar Holland?

One should know better what position they were at than anyone else.

"Coralie, since you have decided, then our relationship would only be on a monetary basis."

"A relationship strictly based on money, that's the best relationship for you, isn't it? You don't have to

worry that I will be entangled with you in the future."

"You're right."

Skylar sat in the car with a terribly cold expression on his face. His hand was holding the contract so

tightly that his knuckles were a little pale.

Coralie did not understand why he was being angry.

Throughout the whole journey, Skylar didn't say a word to her. Coralie didn't want to ask for another

snub so she found a bus station and got down the car.

However, when Coralie was waiting for the bus, his car was parked on the opposite side of the road.

He didn't leave until she had gotten on the bus.

Coralie didn't go home, but instead, she went to the hospital.

Hera Jean could already get out of the bed.

When she saw Coralie, she nervously asked her to come to her side. "My daughter, did Howard's

mobile phone get stolen by someone?"

"Huh?"

Coralie was nervous.

"It was he who paid for the medical bills so I wanted to call him to thank him for it, but I didn't expect

that it was a woman who answered it and scolded me for being a psycho."

Hera was still a little angry as she spoke.

Needless to say, the woman who answered the phone must be Alison Herman.

"Mom, he's on a business trip. He might have left his phone somewhere."

"You should ask him in detail then. You see, he paid for the treatment and even hired a care worker for

us."

The more Hera said, the more upset Coralie was.

"Mom, in fact..."

"What?"

Coralie really wanted to tell Hera the truth, but when she almost did, she looked at her mother's hands

which were wrapped in bandages and swallowed her words.

"It's okay. I'll go and see Wayne."

Coralie got up and went over to see Wayne. After returning from Wayne's ward, she helped Hera to

wipe her body clean before leaving the hospital.

"......"

Because of her illness, she had not been to work for a few consecutive days. When she finally went to

work, she heard Shania Quell complaining before she could enter the company,

"Coralie, what are you doing? Does she still want this job? Because of her, I have no one to make me

coffee anymore."

"I know right. There's no one to sweep the floor. It's so dirty now."

Another colleague added.

Coralie worked at a small trading company. Her position was to be an administrative assistant, but in

fact, she was like a domestic helper at the office.

She remembered that when she first came to the company, she was very enthusiastic. In addition to

her own job, she also helped around with the small things in the office. Whether it be cleaning the floor

or watering the plants, she was willing to help.

After a long time, all of these became her responsibility.

Coralie entered the office and saw the empty barrel on the water dispenser. It seemed that her

colleagues would rather be thirsty than taking the initiative to replace the empty barrel.

As soon as she entered the office, she heard the endless chatter from her colleagues.

"Coralie , there is no water in the water dispenser. Go change it."

"Coralie, please photocopy this stack of documents for me."

"Coralie, you're finally back. The office is so dirty."

In their eyes, Coralie was just a housekeeper.

This was also what she had thought of herself.

In the past. she was willing to take this job only because it was near to her house. But things are Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

different now, she had just divorced so her state of mind was different from before. Now, she was

extremely dissatisfied with this job.

"I'm coming."

Coralie attended to her colleagues' requests one after another. After all, it was still her duty to do so.

"Coralie, have you recently gotten a divorce?"

The one who spoke was Shania Quell. She was a middle aged woman who loved gossiping in the

company. She will always be the first one to notice anything that happened in the company.

"Huh?"

Coralie was surprised. She didn't have the habit of wearing her wedding ring and she hadn't mentioned

anything about her divorce to her colleagues.

"Don't hide it from me. I live in the same area as your mother-in-law. The rumor that you are a gold

digger and how you have cheated on Howard with an old man was going around in our community."

Shania spoke loudly and everyone in the office could hear what she had said.

Every colleagues' eyes fell on Coralie at the same time.

"I didn't expect this from you. I used to think that you are an honest person, I never thought that you

were capable of doing such a thing."

Some colleagues were chatting on the side.

"Who said I've cheated on him? I was the one who got cheated on!"

Coralie was angry. She knew that Shania was living in the same community as her ex-mother-in-law,

Morgana Lane, but she didn't expect Morgana would slander her this way.
