"Okay," Coralie replied.
She was freezing now but there wasn't any indication of grievances on her face. She followed Jayson
and entered the Skyton Corporation building once again.
Jayson was silent along the way.
He was only here to lead her the way.
At this time, there was not a single soul in Skyton Corporation. The whole building was surprisingly
quiet, with only the clinking of Jayson and Coralie's footsteps.
Coralie followed him to the top floor of Skyton Corporation.
When the elevator door opened, she was greeted with the unchanged top floor.
When Jayson led Coralie to the president's office, she felt that her heart almost stopped beating; she
was almost winded. However, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
They entered the president's office together. Jayson followed her and spoke to the figure behind the
table, "President Holland, Miss Chariott is here."
Coralie's eyes were fixed on Skylar, who was sitting on the chair. His face did not change much, but he
was a little thinner than the last time they met.
"Sky... President Holland."
Coralie had almost called him Skylar, but she swallowed it halfway.
Skylar was originally looking at the computer screen, but when he heard Coralie call him, he pulled his
dark eyes away from the computer and settled his eyes on Coralie.
She had been standing in the cold rain for too long. Although it was warm in the president's office, there
was still a thin layer of frost on her windbreaker. Her body was enshrouded in a layer of mist.
"When Jayson sent you back last time, he forgot to take back Grandma's emerald bracelet from you.
Since you're here, take it off and put it here."
Skylar stared at Coralie with an unreadable expression for a long time before he spoke to her.
However, his words were as sharp as a knife, piercing into Coralie's heart.
She had imagined what Skylar would tell her when they met, but this sentence was not in all the
possibilities she had ever contemplated.
"Why?"
Coralie watched Skylar, her face blank.
Back then, Grandmother Holland bequeathed the emerald bracelet to Coralie who was her
granddaughter-in-law. However, Skylar was now going to take it back. He was being mercilessly clear
with his intention.
"I think Jayson had explicitly passed my words to you. Do you want me to repeat them?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Skylar looked at Coralie with his impassive black eyes. That icy gaze could even quash the cold rain
and chilly wind outside.
"Then please do."
Coralie said directly.
It seemed that Skylar hadn't expected such a reply from Coralie and was slightly rattled. Then, he
looked up at Coralie and said, "Coralie, I have already divorced you. If you have any objection to the
amount of pension, you can speak to Jayson about it. We won't have anything to do with each other
anymore."
"We won't have anything to do with each other anymore?"
Coralie repeated his cruelest sentence, word by word.
"Yes."
Skylar nodded.
"Skylar, tell me the real reason. I don't want to listen to your decision. I want the reason."
Coralie was incredulous. He was not like this the last time she saw him. At that time, he had clearly
expressed his love for her, so why...
How could a person transform into a different character in a heartbeat?
She didn't believe it!
"It's because I don't love you anymore," Skylar replied plainly.
"You're lying! You can't suddenly toss away your love for someone!"
Coralie could not accept this fact at all.
It was harder to accept this reason.
"Coralie, I think you seem to overestimate yourself." Skylar looked at her with his eyes spilling
contempt. He said sarcastically, "I am the President of Skyton Corporation. I have plenty of women
circling around me. Why must I be fixated on you? You faked your death, deceived me for three years,
and left me for another year. Those were four long years. Do you still expect me to be loyal to you?"
"But..." She wanted to explain.
"If that's not enough, you were with Yohan for the last year. Don't tell me nothing happened between
you and him. Why should I be obsessed with you?" Skylar added.
"Nothing happened between Yohan and me. Really! Trust me!" Coralie screamed.
"So what?" Skylar looked at Coralie and said in exasperation, "I still have work to do. If there's nothing
else, leave the bracelet and go."
"Then why did you save me that day?"
Coralie was implacable!
How could she be willing to accept that!
That day, Skylar had risked his life to save her. He was so worried and concerned about her, but in the
blink of an eye, he became like this?
"Based on our past relationship." After saying that, Skylar added, "If I knew that I would fall after I
saved you that day, I would have rather not save you."
"Past relationship..." Coralie murmured. She smiled bitterly and began to slip the bracelet off her hand.
This time, the bracelet felt so tight that it couldn't be taken off no matter how hard she tried.
Skylar saw that she couldn't take it out, so he waved to Jayson beside him and said, "Jayson, help
her."
Jayson was standing at the door. He came over after Skylar's order and helped Coralie to take off the
bracelet.
However, the bracelet was still firmly fastened to Coralie's wrist.
"If you can't take it off, break it."
Skylar sat there and irritation rippled across him when he saw that neither of them could remove the
bracelet.
"Then you do it," Coralie said and walked to Skylar.
She had been wondering why Skylar had been sitting behind the table and wouldn't let her see him.
Maybe Skylar had broken his legs like Valerie did, or he might have problems in his body.
When Coralie walked over and stretched her hand in front of Skylar, she kept focusing her eyes on him.
At a glance, there was no problem with his body...
Skylar lifted his hand off the keyboard, gripped Coralie's wrist with one hand and the bracelet with the
other.
When Skylar grabbed her hand, Coralie felt a surge of warmth from it. She suddenly leaned down
boldly and kissed Skylar's lips, trying to please him.
She wanted to see if Skylar was really like what he claimed to be...
Both of them stayed unmoving for two or three seconds. After that, Skylar immediately pushed her and
exclaimed, "Get out of here!"
Although Skylar pushed her away, Coralie had clearly felt that Skylar was clenching her hand tightly at
the moment she kissed him. He responded before he refused her.
"Skylar, you haven't forgotten me. You still love me. You're lying to yourself," Coralie said.
"Oh, Coralie, you gave yourself too much credit. I have always thought that you were different from
others. Now it seems that you are just so-so. You are willing to do anything for the title of Mrs. Holland."
Skylar pulled open the drawer, took out a handkerchief, and wiped harshly at his lips. Then, he threw
the handkerchief mercilessly into the trash can.
His eyes were brimming with scorn.
"You're right, I'm willing to do anything for Mrs. Holland's title." Coralie nodded and added, "Unless you
make me believe that you don't have feelings for me anymore."
