You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 172

Valerie didn't expect Jasper to say that. She quickly lowered her gaze and pretended to be shy. She

whispered, "My, my legs are like this. I actually don't intend to marry anyone. My father insisted that I

should at least meet you. I couldn't reject..."

"I don't mind."

Jasper felt distressed to see Valerie in such a sight.

"But I do. President Zac, you are such an excellent man. People will comment on you marrying a

cripple. Even if you don't mind, I would still feel conscious about it."

Valerie lowered her head and pretended to be reluctant.

In fact, this was her usual trick. She had been using it for the longest time. She clearly knew that this

man fancied her, but she would always pretend to be considerate and keep a distance from him. Only

in this way could she make him even more fascinated with her.

"Marry me, and come with me to B City. Let's see who dares to say anything about you!"

Although Jasper looked gentle with his glasses on, he spoke in a domineering manner.

He squatted down and looked at Valerie's face with a serious expression.

Seeing how persistent Jasper was, Valerie decided to use her trump card, "To be honest, I still can't let

go of Skylar. After all, I've liked him for so many years. Even though he doesn't feel the same way, I'm

still willing to do anything for him. As long as he could look at me once in a while, I will be satisfied."

As Valerie spoke, her face was filled with bittersweetness, making Jasper very distressed.

However, he had no idea that Valerie was only toying with his feelings, trying to make him fall harder for

her. She had never intended to marry a person whom she didn't like.

In Valerie's heart, Skylar would be hers, sooner or later.

Now, she just hoped to taunt Skylar using Jasper.

......

Although Anthony Holland did not attend the charity banquet, he caught wind of what happened that

night.

He arrived at the hospital the next day.

Coralie Chariott was resting when he arrived. When Skylar saw him, he put down the tablet in his hand

and came out of the ward.

"Skylar, are you going to let this woman jeopardize your life again and again?"

Skylar was puzzled, "What did I do? What did she do?"

In his opinion, he was now resting due to his injury. He was supposed to be on medical leave from

work. Moreover, Anthony was in charge of the company. What did all of this have to do with Coralie

then?

Anthony noticed that Skylar refused to admit it, so he reminded him, "I heard that you had a good chat

with Jasper yesterday. But later, you quarreled with him because Coralie had gone missing."

Skylar understood the subtle meaning behind his words.

He was indeed anxious after Coralie's disappearance, but they didn't quarrel at all.

"I didn't quarrel with him."

Skylar said lightly, but he didn't explain much.

"I don't care about anything else. I hope you understand that the illusion of the Holland Group's stability

will not last much longer. If you don't do something about it, you will soon be taken down. Don't blame

me for not being able to protect you at that time."

Anthony could see that Skylar was partial to Coralie, and he had never intended to make a decision

from the very start. However, Anthony was a businessman, and he always placed interests above all.

"Grandma is still in good health. It's too early for you to prepare for this."

"Early? When your grandmother passes away, it will be too late for you to cry." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Anthony had been reminding Skylar that his grandmother didn't have much time left. If she were to

pass away, the Holland family would definitely be in turmoil and a lot of problems would soon arise.

Therefore, he ought to marry Valerie the soonest and employ the power of the Rae family to protect

himself before these problems happened. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether the Rae family

would be willing to let Valerie marry Skylar by that time.

"Dad, are you anticipating Grandma's death every day?"

Skylar stood there, and he finally blurted out those words.

Every day, he would hear Anthony saying that his grandmother was going to die soon, and he had to

marry Valerie as soon as possible.

However, all kinds of examinations in the hospital showed that his grandmother only had a weak

immune system due to her age.

"Skylar, do you not know that your grandmother has advanced liver cancer? She has spent a lot of

money to stop the hospital from telling others. At present, I am the only one in the family who knows

about this matter."

Anthony realized that Skylar would not give up, hence he finally decided to tell him the truth.

"What?"

"Isn't Harvey your friend? Feel free to ask him about it."

Anthony even found a witness to back him up as it was obvious that Skylar didn't believe him.

"Impossible..."

Skylar was in disbelief. He had always believed that his grandmother was healthy. After all, it was

normal for her to feel unwell once in a while at her age.

However, Anthony even said that he could ask Harvey about it. Skylar had no choice but to believe it.

"Indeed, it is shocking to know that she has only one month left. I went to visit your grandmother that

day. Looking at her condition, she really doesn't have much time left."

In Anthony's eyes, Grandmother Holland's death would affect the stability of the Holland Group. He had

to reduce the loss to the least.

"I'll solve the problem of Skyton Corporation by myself, but I won't marry Valerie."

"Are you still going to act so stubbornly? If Valerie ends up marrying Jasper, you would then have to

marry the daughter of another family. At that time, you would not have a choice anymore. It would be

too late to regret."

Anthony then turned around and left.

At this moment, Harvey, who had been standing at the side for a long time, slowly walked out. He wore

a white coat, and the button was open.

When he saw Skylar standing in the corridor, he said, "Skylar, aging always..."

"You knew all along that my grandmother has advanced liver cancer. Treatment is useless now, but you

hid it from me, didn't you?"

Skylar interrupted him before Harvey could finish speaking.

Harvey was silent for a while before he nodded, "Yes, we have signed a contract. No one is allowed to

say it."

"Even me?"

"Skylar, you love your grandmother very much. I was afraid that you couldn't bear the truth, and it is

Grandmother Holland who has been reminding me again and again to keep this matter from you."

Harvey tried to persuade him.

"Baby, you're my only one......"

When Skylar was about to press on this matter, his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the screen and picked it up.

"President Holland, Hayes has confessed everything, but he probably hasn't seen the dealer. At

present, all the information left by the other party could only be traced back to an email, and the

registrant of the email is..."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated and he didn't know if he should continue speaking.

"Just say it."

Skylar ordered.

The person said, "The email was registered six to seven years ago, and we have checked the original

IP. The registrant is likely to be Miss Chariott herself."
