Chapter 145


    "Since she got injured because of Coralie, I''m fine withpensating her. I don''t have an issue with


    giving her money or to apany her for treatments. But I have an issue with marrying her."


    Skr Hond held the phone and his face darkened.


    He was the President of Skyton Corporation, therefore Amelia Harington and Valerie Rae were never a


    threat to him. However, the real threat that he had to face was Valerie''s father.


    He was the President of the Rae Group.


    In fact, Valerie''s father had warned Skr as soon as he found out that his daughter would harm


    herself if Skr were to leave her.


    His threat was simple but powerful. He could push Skyton Corporation into turmoil, and it would very


    likely result in retrenchment in Skr''spany.


    As the President of Skyton Corporation, it was impossible for him to disregard his staff and shatter their


    means of ie.


    "Skr, why are you so obsessed with Coralie? She had a miscarriage, and we don''t know if she could


    get pregnant again. Moreover, do you think that your father would agree to your marriage with Coralie?


    He is abroad now, that is why he had not done anything. Once he is back, he will certainly take care of


    it."


    Lillian Ford saw that her son was determined, so she had to use her husband to coerce him.


    "It''s my own business, so you don''t have to worry about it. Don''t get involved in this matter anymore. If


    you want to buy something, just let me know. I will buy it for you. If you think that your allowance isn''t


    enough, I will give more to you. Don''t give in to others unnecessarily just because of some gifts."


    In fact, Skr had known that Valerie would frequently give presents to Lillian. He didn''t take it to heart


    at first, because he would pay back the gift eventually. He would pay her back with money most of the


    time.


    However, he didn''t expect that Lillian would agree to the engagement and even set a date for it.


    "Son, how could you say that? I''m your mother. Valerie is a suitable match for you. She is from a good


    family and her background is on par with ours."


    Lillian tried her best to hide her selfishness behind her persuasion.


    "Mom, you''re from a working-ss family. My father married you, and he didn''t dislike your family


    background. Do you have any right to dislike Coralie now?"


    Skr couldn''t bear it anymore and finally blurted this sentence out.


    Previously, when Lillian disliked Coralie openly, Skr had already suppressed the urge to say all


    these words. Now that Lillian had crossed the line, he too stopped holding back.


    "It''s not the same."


    "Pray tell, what''s the difference?" Skr was frustrated, "Go to bed early. Goodnight."


    After that, he hung up the phone.


    Valerie had returned to her home recently because of her engagement. She had said that she wanted


    to discuss with her family about the engagement.


    Only Skr was left in the house. He stood in front of the window of the study and looked out of the


    window. He then called Coralie.


    At this moment, Coralie Chariott was lying down on her bed. She was watching the news with her


    mobile phone. She was surprised when she saw Skr calling her.


    She thought that Skr was going to inform her of the divorce agreement. Although she was reluctant


    to answer the call, she still picked it up.


    "Hello."


    "Beep, beep, beep..."


    As soon as Coralie picked up the phone, Skr quickly hung up.


    He realized that he really didn''t know what to say to Coralie.


    He hoped that he could put a stop to every disturbing matter before asking her toe back to him.


    On the other side of the phone, Coralie thought that Skr had dialed the wrong number. Although she


    was slightly disappointed, she did not call him back.

    Monday soon arrived, and there was still a week left before the engagement. After a meeting in his


    As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the building of Rae Group, the receptionist stopped him and


    asked, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"


    "I''m the President of Skyton Corporation."


    Skr took out his business card and put it in front of the front desk.


    In fact, Skr was quite famous in A city. The receptionist took a closer look and quickly recognized


    Skr. He then apologized, "I''m sorry, President Hond. I''ll contact President Rae immediately."


    "Okay."


    After contacting Valerie''s father, the receptionist quickly allowed Skr to go up.


    Skr took the elevator to the top floor and went straight into the President''s office.


    Valerie''s father, Hector Rae, stayed seated and did not get up. Seeing that Skr had walked in, he


    greeted with a smile, "Skr, here you are."


    "President Rae, I came here today because I have something to say to you."


    "Alright. Have a seat."


    Hector was smiling. He seemed like a kind old man.


    However, Skr knew better than anyone else. He was a devil masked with the facade of an angel.


    "President Rae, I will find the best doctor in the world to cure Valerie''s illness. I''ll pay for it, and I could


    even apany her to her treatment sessions."


    Skr did not take a seat and he immediately cut to the chase.


    Hector''s smile faded.


    "Skr, what do you mean?"


    "That''s right. The marriage, I''m afraid that I''m not going to..."


    Skr didn''t finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious.


    Hector was sitting at the table as he picked up the green tea cup nonchntly and took a sip. Then, he


    looked up and said to Skr, "I remember that I have made it clear to you half a year ago. We are all


    bosses, and the fate of employees is in our hands. I hope that you understand this. Many of your


    employees may lose their jobs thanks to your impulsive decision. Countless families will be in trouble


    because of it."


    He weighed each word slowly and heavily, reminding Skr of his responsibility.


    In fact, this was a major concern of all employers. Every decision they made would cause a ripple


    effect on thepany. Only when apany operates normally that the staff could keep their job.


    Hector prodded at Skr''s Achilles'' heel. When he knew about Valerie''s disorder, he threatened Skr


    with the shares he had at hand.


    After all, Hector was the boss of the Rae Group, and Skyton Corporation was only apany under


    the Hond family. Even though it was sessful, it still paled inparison whenpared to the


    Rae Group.


    "President Rae, I''m here to have a good and sincere discussion with you."


    "Skr, you are still young. You don''t understand the feelings of a father. Valerie is my only daughter,


    and you are the preferred candidate to be my son-inw."


    Hector said.


    Skr had been an excellent and outstanding person ever since he was a child. In fact, not only


    Hector, countless of affluent and eminent families thought of Skr as an apple in their eyes.


    At that time, the Hond family and the Rae family was close. This naturally led to the extensive


    amount of time that Skr and Valerie had spent together.


    "President Rae, I''m sorry for what had happened to Valerie. But I hope that you could understand. In


    fact, I came here today because I have already made up my mind. Please don''t push me to my edge."


    Skr was sitting on arge ck sofa, his obsidian eyes staring straight at Hector.


    It represented his will to neverpromise.
