You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 282

Coralie held Yohan's blood-stained white suit in her arms.

The front of the suit was still white, but the back was completely covered in blood. There was even a

hole in the suit where he had been shot.

Judging from the suit, Yohan had probably been shot in his lower abdomen. Howard Schultz once

stabbed Skylar from behind, in the same place. If Skylar wasn't sent to the hospital in time, he would

definitely have bled to death.

At that time, Skylar was almost paralyzed after bleeding for about an hour. This time, Yohan might be...

Coralie chased her thoughts away.

"Life is unpredictable. You will never know what others are thinking about. You need to speak your mind

if you want others to understand you. Especially men and women; they are literally two different kinds

of creatures in this world. Men are fools. I used to annoy my wife in the past, but I didn't know why she

was angry. It was only later that I gradually understood it."

The old man was talking about his experience.

"Sir, have you ever heard of a myth that some women are destined to hurt their husbands?" Coralie

asked. Her underlying meaning was to ask if she was a jinx to her husband. She continued, "This

person is the third one to marry me, or intended to marry me. All of them were met with bad luck after

marrying me. One of them was in jail and is now on the run. I'm not sure if the other two are alive or

dead. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten married."

After Yohan encountered this incident, Coralie began to pensively consider this problem.

She didn't believe when Lilian said that she was a bad luck to her husband.

However, now, leaving Howard aside, Skylar and Yohan were entangled in such a horrid situation. She

had lost her sense of self.

"Don't be silly," Mr. Hodge said while shaking his head. "I've said before, every fate is destined.

Everyone has their own fate set in stone."

"Really? Then perhaps I'm destined to never marry." She asked.

"Young lady, you're still young. Your life has just begun. Don't be afraid, everything will pass. As long as

you're a kind girl, happiness will come to you," he replied.

Mr. Hodge found Coralie in a blood-stained wedding dress yesterday.

It was supposed to be her happiest day, but such misfortune befell her.

"As long as I'm a kind girl..."

Coralie murmured.

She didn't seem to have done anything kind, but she didn't do anything evil either.

"Am I kind?" She thought.

They walked back in the sunset.

When they arrived, Mrs. Hodge had already prepared the table for dinner. Their dinner was quite

different and rather simple. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Other than fried potatoes, there were beans and scrambled eggs.

Although it was not a marvelous menu, Coralie was moved to tears while eating together with Mr.

Hodge and his wife.

She hadn't had such a relaxing dinner for a long time.

"Thank you."

Coralie sincerely thanked them.

After dinner, Coralie helped Mrs. Hodge wash the dishes. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking on the door was urgent.

Mrs. Hodge went to open the door.

Coralie followed her and found Jayson and several bodyguards standing at the door.

"Excuse me..." Jayson wanted to ask if Mrs. Hodge had seen Coralie by showing her a photo of

Coralie, but before he could finish his words, he saw her standing behind Mrs Hodge. He greeted,

"Miss Chariott."

He had obviously breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Coralie.

"Assistant Lowell."

Coralie walked over to him.

"Miss Chariott, I'm here to pick you up," he informed.

"You?"

Coralie peered behind Jayson and found that there was no one else except the bodyguards. The

disappointment in her eyes was noticeable.

Jayson understood how Coralie felt and added, "It's President Holland's order."

Coralie did not ask anything else but bade farewell to Mr. Hodge and his wife. Before leaving, she

bowed deeply to them and said, "Thank you."

With both the blood-stained wedding dress and suit in her arms, she followed Jayson and left.

Coralie was wearing an old-fashioned dress given by Mrs. Hodge. Although it was baggy, it was rather

comfortable.

On the way back, Coralie asked her first question, "Is Yohan... is Leonardo dead?"

She changed her salutation immediately.

"We didn't find Mr. Leonardo when we were looking for you. Some locals told us that they saw you in

this area."

Jayson answered in a formal tone.

"What about Skylar? Is he alive?"

After she asked about Yohan, she brought up Skylar.

However, when she mentioned Skylar, an evasive look appeared on Jayson's face.

"Assistant Lowell, can you tell me what has happened with Skylar?"

Coralie was about to have a meltdown.

"Miss Chariott, we have already notified the authorities in Togsom Accounting Firm. If you're willing to

go back after we return to the country, you can go to work as usual. If you want to work in other

companies, we can also introduce you to them. Also, in terms of remittance, President Holland said

that he'll give you two million dollars every year as a pension for the divorce. What do you have..."

"It means he's still alive, right? He doesn't want to see me, does he?"

Coralie understood all at once.

His fall from the building was an accident, but he had even planned for her work and pension, so he

must be alive!

But why didn't he want to meet her if he was alive?

"Miss Chariott, President Holland has given you very generous conditions. Two million dollars may not

be much, but you are getting two million per year. Only the president of the top 500 international

company in A City has an annual salary of two million dollars."

Jayson didn't mention anything about Skylar's current situation in his words.

"He's leaving me, isn't he? That's not what he said before. What about Hendric? I want Hendric!" She

screamed.

"Well, you can have Hendric back. President Holland gave him his registered permanent residence and

his surname, but he said that if you don't like that name, you can change it."

Jayson said.

His words were emotionless, as if he was merely delineating facts.

"Assistant Lowell, do you think that I won't know about his condition if you hide it from me? Skyton

Corporation is a huge entity, a swarm of reporters and media are keeping up at every moment. His

every word and move is captured and reported by the news. Even if you don't tell me now, I'll still find

out someday!"

Coralie's heart felt as if it was clenched by an invisible hand.

She had felt devastated about Yohan's death previously.

However, now, Jayson was reporting Skylar's order word by word. Coralie found that her feelings were

completely different from the previous sadness. Her heart felt harrowingly painful.

Even breathing became difficult for her.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried her best to hold them back.

"I had clearly saved that man before. Why did he suddenly turn against me? Why did he leave all of a

sudden?"

"Miss Chariott, I think you should be glad that you can live a normal life from now on. President Holland

said that this is what you have been wishing for," Jayson said.

"Normal life?" Coralie gritted her teeth and said, "Skylar walked into my life and left a permanent mark

on me, and now he left on his own accord? Where did he get the audacity to do that!"
