Chapter 135


    Skr Hond hauled Coralie Chariott home and opened the door.


    Valerie Rae was giving instructions to the servants who were arranging her things at home. When she


    heard the door opening, she hopped down the stairs. When she saw Skr holding Coralie''s hand, she


    was stunned for a moment but she soon regained her poise. She continued hopping towards him and


    greeted, "Skr, you''re back!"


    Perhaps she was happy to see Skr, or perhaps she had yet to get ustomed to walking on one


    foot, so when she was about to hop over thest step, she slipped...

    And she fell into Skr''s arms.


    Skr secured her with his right hand reflexively, but his left hand never left Coralie''s.


    "Skr, thank you."


    Valerie was still lingering in Skr''s arms, showing no intention of getting up."


    Coralie looked at them coldly but her heart was aching.


    In the end, she simply shook Skr''s hand away and retorted, "I''m ttered that you have brought me


    here to witness your loving rtionship, but I''m sorry, I still have other matters to attend to. I shall take


    my leave now."


    Seeing that Coralie was about to hurry upstairs, Skr red at the servant next to him and said


    angrily, "Didn''t you see that she almost fell? Why are you still standing there?"


    The servants didn''t expect that Skr would be angry, so they rushed over to help Valerie up.


    "Skr, I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have lost my bnce. I shouldn''t have made Miss Chariott unhappy," Like


    a child who hadmitted a mistake, Valerie stood up slowly with an embarrassed look over her face.


    She looked at the servants and asked, "Shall... shall I leave?"


    "You should leave then!"


    At that moment, Coralie really wanted to blurt those words out, but it was an undeniable fact that


    Valerie had saved her. She was torn in between her true wishes and her obligations to her presumed


    ''savior''.


    She zipped her lips and trudged to the guest bedroom.


    She just had to endure for one more night. Then, she would be free...


    After this night, she would take her time to recover slowly.


    ......


    Coralie was lying in the bedroom, tossing and turning about.


    In less than half an hour, someone knocked on the door.


    "Miss Chariott, Young Master Hond is requesting your presence at dinner downstairs."


    It was the voice of a servant.


    "Tell him that I''m not eating."


    "Juste down here even if you''re not eating!"


    As soon as Coralie finished speaking, Skr''s voice rang out.


    He knew that she would refuse to eat, so he came up to knock on her door personally.


    Coralie ignored him. She really didn''t want to go out. She didn''t care what feelings Skr bore for


    Valerie, but the current scenario was that Valerie was ill and she was Coralie''s savior. No one could


    stand to offend her.


    However, at this moment, his voice pealed from outside, "You stay here. I''ll get the spare key."


    Although the door could be locked from the inside, it could also be unlocked from the outside with a


    key.


    Hearing this, Coralie immediately opened the door, "That''s not necessary, I''lle out now."


    After that, she went downstairs before him.


    A few dishes were sprawled over on the dining table downstairs. There was also fresh watermelon


    juice. It was indeed an assorted menu for a dinner.


    Valerie was already sitting in a wheelchair by the table. When she saw Coralie making her way


    downstairs, she smiled sweetly, "Miss Chariott, you''re here."


    Coralie looked at Valerie. She really wanted to know whether the incident was truly an ident or if it


    was a plot that Valerie was concocting.


    Thinking how she hadn''t thanked Valerie for saving herself that day, she uttered, "Miss Rae, thank you


    for saving me that day. You ended up losing one of your legs. I am really sorry."


    Her gratitude sounded sincere. She had decided to presume the ident to be unnned and keep


    her suspicions away from the light of the day.


    Therefore, she naturally felt a little heavy-hearted with everything contained away.


    Valerie didn''t seem to expect that Coralie would thank her. She shook her head and said, "At that time,


    I was the only one next to you, and you were not feeling well. When I saw the caring over, I didn''t


    think much about it. Although I lost my leg, I would still do the same even if I know what the oue


    would be."


    She looked at Coralie sincerely.


    At this moment, Skr was making his way downstairs. When he heard Valerie''s words, he seemed to


    be a little surprised.


    "Valerie, your leg got injured because you saved Coralie. Therefore, I will be responsible for your


    following treatment as well as your living expenses in the future."


    Although Skr was still angry at Coralie, he still knew which side he had to stand on.


    "Skr, I''m not short of money. You know that."


    Valerie was not foolish. Skr''s words hadpletely revealed his stance. After saying this, she


    lowered her head and drew a disappointed look.


    Coralie was at a loss for a moment.


    She hoped that Skr would stop beating around the bush and chase her out of here. It was better


    than keeping her hopes up.


    "Let''s eat."


    Skr looked at the empty seat beside Coralie and Valerie, and finally settled himself beside Valerie.


    He knew how Valerie''s illness would be triggered if he were to get close to another woman.


    No one spoke through dinner.


    Coralie took her te to the kitchen when she was done with her meal


    The servants immediately followed her and said, "Let me do it."


    Coralie did not hesitate. After handing the te to them, she went back to her room.


    ......


    Coralie locked the door. She wasn''t protecting herself from Skr but Valerie.


    She thought that she could spend the night peacefully.


    Coralie was already sound asleep when the clock ticked eleven. However, all of a sudden, she felt a


    weight pressing down on her and she couldn''t breathe properly.


    When she opened her eyes, she saw Skr kneeling over her on the bed and pressing on her body.


    He was looking at her from above.


    "What are you doing?"


    When her eyes adjusted to the figure before her, Coralie was shocked.


    "Coralie, you have been anticipating for the contract to end, haven''t you?"


    Skr was talking on top of Coralie as he unbuttoned his pants.


    Looking at his behavior, Coralie understood in an instant. He was obviously trying to have an enjoyable


    session for thest time before the contract ended.


    She did not resist. She justy there quietly, waiting for him to take off his clothes. Then, she answered


    faintly, "Yes, I can''t wait for it to end."


    Coralie felt her heart steeping in a pool of dismay.


    About a few months ago, she was still hoping that she and Skr would stay together forever. She was


    still wishing for an amicable separation if they ever had to go their own ways. She wanted to leave him


    with a good memory.


    However, when that car ident happened on that fateful day, everything changed for the worst.


    Skr was furious when he heard her answer. He held Coralie''s face with one hand and looked at her


    face, his expression screamed fury, "Do you think that I will still touch you after you slept with


    Franklin?"


    Coralie''s heart shrunk. It hurt so much.


    He still did not believe in her. He still refused to acknowledge that nothing had happened between her


    and Franklin Moore.


    However, Coralie merely snapped back, "What are you doing now then, President Hond?"


    "I want you to use this, to pleasure me."


    Skr pointed at Coralie''s pink soft lips, and his eyes were filled with lust.
