Chapter 121
Although Coralie refused him repeatedly, Skr still insisted on the pregnancy meals in thepany''s
canteen. Pregnant employees could register for it and were given meals every day.
Coralie was one of them.
She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn''t stop Skr when he set his eyes on doing something.
In the afternoon of the first day, Felicia ordered her food and sat in their usual spot. When she saw
Coralieing with a particrly assorted menu on her tray, she couldn''t help asking, "Where did you
order this? Why didn''t I see these dishes?"
Coralie was a little embarrassed and whispered, "This is a pregnancy meal."
"A pregnancy meal? Why didn''t I know about such a service from ourpany before? Coralie, are
you pregnant?"
Felicia was stunned that she threw a series of questions to her.
Although she just entered thepany a while ago, it was the first time that Felicia heard about the
"Yes... I just found out yesterday."
Coralie nodded.

Felicia was not an idiot. She replied, "You just found out that you are pregnant yesterday, and the
canteen started preparing special meals for pregnant women today. I''m surprised by how much
President Hond pampers his wife."
As she spoke, her expression was full of envy and admiration.
Valerie, who was sitting behind them, naturally was cognizant about thepany''s pregnancy meal.
Seeing Felicia and Coralie talking so happily andpounded by the envious expression on Felicia''s
face, she could guess that Skr must have added this meal specifically for Coralie.
The n was so swiftly executed that it went beyond Valerie''s expectation.
Although Valerie appeared to be unfazed, her hand betrayed her as she gripped on the spoon so tightly
that even her blood vessels bulged.
The one sitting next to Valerie was Lorraine, and she did not know that Coralie was pregnant. She
asked curiously, "Why did the canteen provide pregnancy meal out of a sudden? I don''t see many
pregnant employees in thepany."
Valerie said with a very understanding expression, "That day, Skye told me that Miss Chariott was
pregnant, so I proposed that pregnant women need special care and suggested adding the pregnancy
meal."
Lorraine, who was sitting next to her, was so stunned that her chin almost dropped. "Is Coralie
pregnant?"
"Yes, I just found out. I proposed the idea to him once I found out."
Listening to Valerie''s words, Lorraine felt bad for her.
"You''re so foolish. Everyone knows that you and President Hond are childhood sweethearts! Who is
this Coralie? Why are you still taking her side? She snatched your boyfriend away!"
Lorraine was a strong-minded and independent woman. Compared to Coralie, she preferred women
like Valerie, who was capable and highly educated.
Moreover, in her opinion, Valerie and Skr were supposed to be a couple. It was because Valerie
stayed abroad that Coralie slipped into their rtionship and took advantage of Skr.
To put it simply, Lorraine thought that it was Skr who had cheated on Valerie.
Listening to Lorraine''s words, Valerie knew that she had achieved her goal. She lowered her head with
sadness welling in her eyes, but she pretended to force a smile and assuaged Lorraine, "As long as
Skye is happy, I am content."
At this moment, Valerie looked like a damsel in distress.
Hearing this, Lorraine was even furious. "How could this be? You went abroad to study, to seek higher
education, and gain more experience. This was supposed to be a good thing. I didn''t expect you to be
taken advantage of by such a woman."
Valerie acted as if she had surrendered herself to whatever that came. She took Lorraine''s hand and
said, "Lorraine, thank you. I know that you''re worried about me, but don''t go against President Hond
because of me. President Hond dotes on Miss Chariott very much."
In fact, she was afraid that Lorraine would tell Skr how Valerie imed to be the one who proposed
the addition of the pregnancy meal.
If she told Skr, her lie would have seen the light of the day.
In fact, Lorraine was not stupid. Although she liked Valerie and despised Coralie, she would not offend
Skr and risk losing her job for these people who had nothing to do with her.
After all, Lorraine had only known Valerie for a few days. They were not particrly close.
......
When Valerie was at work in the afternoon, she was not particrly upied with work. She picked up
her mobile phone and left a message to Lillian through WhatsApp, "Auntie, when are you free? I
bought you a gift while I was abroad. I want to send it to you."
Every time Valerie thought of buying gifts from abroad, the first person that popped into her mind was
Lillian.
However, it was not because she was close to Lillian, but merely because Lillian loved to receive gifts.
Moreover, it was easy to please Lillian. The gift didn''t matter. As long as it was expensive and limited
edition, she would be fond of it.
However, what Lillian was unaware of was how much Valerie actually despised her from the bottom of
her heart. Lillian came from an ordinary family and with many siblings at home. Her parents were just
ordinary blue-cor workers.
If it weren''t for the fact that Lillian was Skr''s mother, Valerie wouldn''t even look her in the eye. She
wouldn''t even give Lillian the time of day even if Lillian was a noble wealthydy.
As soon as the message was sent, she received Lillian''s reply. "Valerie, I''m free at any time. How about
tonight? I haven''t seen you since you came back. Come to my house."
Valerie, of course, knew that Lillian had all the free time in the world. Lillian had nothing much to do.
Asking this question was just a formality.
Valerie had already put all the gifts in the car beforehand. When she got off work in the evening, she
headed directly to Lillian''s house.
Lillian lived in an old house of the Honds''. The house was outrageously spacious and there were at
least a dozen servants. Since Skr''s father was not at home most of the time, she lived by herself.
Valerie went to the door and knocked on it. As soon as Lillian came out, she said politely, "Hello,
Auntie."
"Hello, dear."
Lillian let Valerie into the house, but her eyes weretched onto the parcel in Valerie''s hand. She
couldn''t wait to see what was inside.
Valerie could also grasp what was on her mind. As soon as she entered the door and slipped into the
indoor shoes, she quickly put around five bags on the tea table. She then began to showcase them one
by one.
"Auntie, this is the new product from Chanel''s spring collection. It''s a limited edition. I bought it for you
as soon as it was released."
Valerie took out a dress and presented it to Lillian.
When Lillian heard that it was limited edition, she felt that it looked better the more she scanned her
eyes through at it.
Valerie took out a handbag from another bag, it was wrapped in a dust bag. After she removed it from
the bag, she handed it to Lillian. "Auntie, this is Balenciaga''stest snakeskin bag. This model is also a
limited edition. What do you think about it? As soon as Iid my eyes on it, I thought it will make you
look younger if you carried it."
It was a small, red-colored snakeskin bag. As soon as Lillian held it in her hand, Valerie realized that it
didn''tpliment nor suit Lillian at all.
But what did it matter, as long as Lillian liked it.
She showed Lillian all of the gifts that she had brought with her. Lillian was utterly delighted.
In order to "reward" Valerie for her gifts and effort, Lillian pulled Valerie to her side and said
mysteriously, "Valerie, I found out something that day. Skr married Coralie just to bring good luck to
Grandma. They were bound by an agreement and will divorce each other in a year."
